You know you need quality leads to have a sustainable business. The question is whatā€™s the best way to get the leads?

When I first started selling Citibank credit cards, the ā€œexpertsā€ emphasized cold-call prospecting. ā€œItā€™s a numbers gameā€, they would say.

They were right, the more cold calls I made, the more sales I made.

The problem is that cold-calling is DIRTY, UGLY, GRUNT work. Rejection, after rejection, after rejection. Plus, it took a lot of time.

I knew there must be a better, more efficient way to generate leads.

And then I discovered the power of lead generation.

Once I implemented lead generation my career not only took off.

I was also having more FUN because I wasnā€™t getting rejected and leads were pouring in on autopilot.

Here are the four key ingredients all of your online and offline lead generation methods must contain.

1. Ā  Ā An attention grabbing headline

The headline is the ad for your ad. It’s what gets your prospects to sit up and take notice. Your name or logo does not qualify.

2. Ā  An offer ā€“ a reason for people to respond NOW

Dan Kennedy calls this a ā€œlead generation magnetā€. Itā€™s an indispensible tool that allows you to followup.

3. Ā  Ā A call to action

Tell your prospect specifically what you want them to do. It could be calling you directly, going to your website to get a free report or both.

Why?

Because the majority of your prospects are not ready to buy now but might be ready in the future. By offering a free report, you capture lead and can follow-up with them.

4. Ā  Tracking

You need to know what lead generation methods were working and which ones arenā€™t? You need to know your cost per lead. This information helps you make informed decisions about where you should be investing my lead generation rupees.

I suggest you carefully look at all your lead generation materials and see if they meet the criteria listed above.
