So why aren’t your lead generation ideas really working?
How The Offline Dating Service It’s Just Lunch Can Help Stimulate Some Of Your Very Best Lead Generation Ideas!
Are you tired of struggling, trying to come up with some effective lead generation ideas?
Would it seem odd to you, if it was suggested that the extremely popular offline dating service “It’s Just Lunch” could actually be inspiration for one of your best lead generation ideas ever?
If so, read on to discover how these two seemingly unrelated concepts are actually really very similar.
Okay so you’ve finally decided that it’s time to join the 21st century and give this online dating thing a try.
Besides recent statistics indicate that 1 in 5 couples or 20% of all new couples originally got together online. That’s twenty percent of the couples that you see out and about.
Your Long Term Online Success Is A Very Similar To The Just Lunch Concept..
So now that you’ve spruced up your bio and finally found a picture of yourself
that you can live with and filled out a gazillion and one questionnaires. You’re finally ready
to upload your profile and get on with it already. And with that you hit the upload button and poof, you’re now officially part of the local online dating scene and ready to meet that someone special, in order to take that all important first step.
In the hopes of maybe developing a long term relationship, because remember, initially like the website says
“It’s Just Lunch”. Watch how important that seemingly minor detail actually turns out to be with regards to your long term online success.
A Blind First Date And A First Time Web Visitor To Your Site Are Both Glorified Strangers To You!
Here is a powerful parallel between that all important blind first date and a first time web visitor to your site.
Don’t ever forget that just like (a blind first date) your first time web visitor no matter how they found your site, be it your landing page and or (squeeze page) or your regular sales page, you two are still glorified strangers to each other.
(Note: The term landing page or squeeze page, (these two terms basically mean the same thing), it just refers to any page on your site,.
Where your visitor can opt in, (subscribe if you will) to your email list. Or signup to receive some type of free inducement. Such as a free ‘how to’ instructional ebook, PDF file special report or a multi part video series of some kind.
Or maybe a mini course or a free podcast interview of some kind etc.

In exchange for them entering their first name and primary email address into your opt in form.
This way they can start to receive your (all important) long term follow up email messages.

And here is where understanding this powerful yet subtle parallel between a blind first date,
and a first time web visitor will separate the long term successful online marketer from the clueless cash starved, broke and frustrated wannabe.
Here then Is The $64,000.00 Dollar Question….
Imagine yourself out on a seemingly pleasant first time date (translated) two glorified strangers
who are just barely getting to know surface things about one another, when em between small talk
and quick glances, the person on the other side of table, suddenly “asks you to marry them?’ Huh? Right!
It’s a forgone conclusion that not only would you be in complete shock, but you’d probably quickly end the small talk, demand the check and probably not leave skip marks either! Right?
Having Successful Dating Experiences Can Definitely Help You Become A Far More Successful Online Marketer!
And there is also a very good chance, you’d never ever see that person again, agreed! You bet!
So the $64,000.00 dollar question is: Would you really propose marriage to a complete stranger on the very first date? Of course not!
And of course (due to your) extreme lack of sophistication about proven long term online marketing strategies, you’re probably wondering what some seemingly totally ridiculous dating scenario has to do with long term online success!
Simply this…
Doesn’t It Make More Sense To Get To Know Your Date First Before You Propose Marriage?
Yep!
The point being, just because someone goes searching online and happens to land on your site (a glorified stranger/ blind first date) for the very first time, doesn’t mean that they wish to buy something right then and there!
Because from purely a statistical stand point on average ( at least) a staggering 99% do not!
Meaning – on average (just depending) on a few other very important pre- conditions, only one in every 100 unique visitors will actually buy something on their very first visit.
(And guess what else?) if they don’t buy anything, on average a staggering 99% are never ever coming back to your site again! Ouch!

That’s the main reason why a staggering 97% of your clueless competitors starve online! Because they try to sell a complete stranger, (that blind first date if you will,) on the very first visit.
No, initially (anyway), your first time visitor is just looking, (checking you out so to speak), and (” It’s Just Lunch”), a blind first date if you will, is the very beginning.
And they are simply going to need more time (a few more dates) before they will be ready to commit (get married) to you and make a first time purchase of some kind.
Stop Trying To Marry Your Online Prospects After Your Very First Date!
Honestly, would you ever seriously consider marrying someone you just met at a social event,and had only known for two or three hours? It sounds pretty silly when you look at it in that long range context doesn’t it?
That’s why some of your best lead generation ideas work just like offline dating.
