Let’s get started…

Hi! Today’s post is a short one but very important.?

As a small business owner for over a decade, I know you know exactly how hard it is to keep up.?

The gurus tell you that you need to “be everywhere”, right? There are a thousand things for you to do every single day.?

Inevitably that is going to lead to tasks of varying degrees of importance slipping through the cracks. Marketing often being one of the first items to be pushed back.?

The biggest problem facing small businesses is…

Consistency

One month you're doing great, you do some prospecting, you sign some new clients, and have cashflow to operate.?

Then the next month you take your foot off the gas to focus on working with your clients.?

You not only sign zero clients but you actually lose an existing one.?

Rinse and repeat. Up, down, up, down.

Why is consistency such a problem?

Time. People THINK they don’t have the time.

They think that proper lead generation, nurture, and branding have to take up a ton of time. So it may be family responsibilities, their day-to-day role at their business, or they may just have a whole lot going on but whatever it is…

They feel like right now is just not the right time to do things the right way.

But I want to tell you that’s false. It’s a myth made up in their heads.

Every single person has the time to get 100-200 leads and sign high-paying clients every month. The type of clients that can change the direction of your business.

The key? You don't have to do it all yourself. I can take care of almost all of the work for you. And I’m hosting a small group call to go over exactly how. If you want to come to that go sign up here.?

To build a successful lead generation system, you need to combine these two things:

Consistent Results?

To consistently get premium leads coming through the door, you need to build authority and trust, be consistent in getting on their radar, and then of course, invite them to a meeting.

To generate leads reliably, you NEED a playbook that allows you to find and warm-up the RIGHT prospects before you ever ask them to speak with you, let alone to work together.

And that right there is what I discovered to be the KEY - you need a systematic way to warm up your prospects FIRST...focusing on relationships (before giving them a sales pitch!)

A Scalable Process

OK, “Great,” you say, “how can you do all that without spending all day doing it?”

This is critical to understand. Because a system should also be judged on the time commitment to follow it.

So how can you leverage your time and still get everything done? What you’re about to read is THE secret to the Turnkey Lead Generator Framework.?

Here’s what it looks like.

And here’s what it looks like zoomed in a little bit.

The Marketing Law of Attraction

A major component of success in your marketing and sales outreach is familiarity. Call it ‘Top of Mind Status. ’Or ‘Awareness.’ Or ‘Influence.’ But being a consistent and relevant presence leads to better results long-term.

When done right, it leads to more engagement. More people seeing your messaging.?

More leads. More appointments. More new clients. But in the past...it’s been difficult.

Too expensive. Too annoying. Too time-consuming.

You might have tried some direct outreach to your prospects before. Whether that was through email, or cold calling, or direct mail, or LinkedIn.

You found a great prospect. Someone who would make an ideal client. And you sent them a message and only heard crickets back.

Everyone’s been there. But the truth is there are tried-and-true approaches to increasing response and booking more appointments.?

Here’s why this is important and why I’m taking the time this week to put this together…

How many things just “didn’t happen” in your business in 2021?

I mean, how many strategies were just “too time-consuming” to tackle?

How many prospects slipped through the cracks?

How many potential opportunities for new clients were missed?

How many “good ideas” were introduced and forgotten about because you had other areas to attend to in your business???

If I had to guess you probably missed out on a lot.?

That’s because you were focusing on the wrong strategies and trying to do too much of the heavy lifting yourself.?

This is normal. Almost every business owner goes through it.?

But real growth, the kind Josh and I have enjoyed, comes when you break out of that habit.?

When you start prioritizing on what YOU need to be doing.?

And I sincerely believe what we are going to be sharing on the call is the best step in that direction.?

You owe it to yourself to at least find out.?
