Why Small Business Service Providers Need To Develop Good Lead Generation Skills!

   (And Why You Definitely Should Too!)

So can you -personally- think of, any profit seeking, small business owner(s), service providers and or startup entrepreneurs.

Who can’t or won’t be much better off financially, if they take the time and effort, to develop some bankable lead generation skills? Me either?

But here’s the thing,(ladies & gentlemen), unlike learning and becoming highly competent at any type of money making copy writing skills.

You or I, (thank goodness), do not have to become guru like, in order to benefit dramatically, from -first- learning and implementing, some market tested lead generation skills.

Because the moment you have figured out, what primary solution your target market craves most, and you, (and or) your major competitors, can effectively demonstrate, you can provide an affordable solution.

Guess what? Your business, product(s) and or services, will sky rocket to the head of the line, in your ideal prospects mind.And that’s sort of the whole point, is it not? You got that right.

So let’s quickly go under the hood, to see ‘how’ some of today’s, savvy albeit semi to severely cash strapped, small business service providers, are doing just that…

So Who Else Wants To Know Why Some Extremely Cash Strapped Small Business Service Providers Definitely Need To Develop Some Bankable Lead Generation skills? ( And Why You Definitely Should Too!)

Let’s -all- face the bitter/sweet reality of the situation already.The average, small business service provider, is probably going to start their brand new venture, with far more ambition, enthusiasm, dedication and focus, than they’ll have readily available cash and or credit, correct? Absolutely.

But all-certainly- isn’t lost entrepreneur.Not by a long shot. Just because, they -or you-, are semi, to severely cash strapped, initially.

Doesn’t mean your marketing creativity can’t, help make up some, and or a good portion, of what you may lack in readily available cash or credit.

Case in point. Let’s suppose, shortly after acquiring your CPA (Certified Public Accountant) and or CPF (Certified Financial Planner) license.You get the overwhelming itch, to go out on your own, and attempt to do your own thing.

In other words, you -unlike-, the vast majority of your newly licensed peers, won’t have the luxury of some major corporate entities money, clout and or brand, to pull or compel you to success!

Being A Successful Service Provider Definitely Means You Gotta Develop Some Bankable Entrepreneurial Skills Asap!

Since very few influential players, in your immediate local community, know who you are just yet, and your readily available capital, and or credit, isn’t very long either.

You need to be as strategic, right out of the gate as possible, in order to start building some long term cred, in order to generate, some much needed short term cash.

So you’re going to initially, test and see, if it makes economic sense, for you to provide, free ‘financial, assessment analysis’, to some local small to mid size business owners and or service providers.

Who you may be able to barter, at least some of your extremely valuable tax reducing strategies, and or estate planning services with.

In exchange for them, supplying you with a free room in their Mom & Pop restaurant, once a month, where you conduct free, 90-120 workshops on subject X.

Build Your Future Success Off Your Current Marketing And Or Promotional Strategies!

And of course, you will also arrange, for each attendee to your free workshops, to get limited 90 day, VIP, brand new customer only discount coupons.

Where they save 20% (or X%) off any and everything they purchase, over the next 90 days.

Plus, they automatically save an additional 10% off their entire bill, each time they bring at least one guest with them to the restaurant, (or place of business),whose 18 and over.The coupons will be date stamped and laminated.

So the restaurant owner(s), can potentially generate some additional, brand new first time, and hopefully, long term repeat customers as well,for virtually pennies on the dollar.

Your Effective Lead Generation Strategies Can And Will Serve You In Multiple Ways!

Another market tested strategy you can inexpensively test is this. Initially, when you advertise or promote your free 90 -120 minute workshops.

This extremely low cost, initial introductory class.You can conduct at the local, adult education center, even though they’ll probably take at least 25-50%. Or most of your front end class fee.

But that’s okay, because in reality, you’re looking to accomplish at least three other, (far more important) short term goals.

1.) Short term goal # one: First and foremost, you’re looking to generate some initial, brand new first time customers and or clients, to sell your other, far more valuable, and thus, more expensive, back end products and services to.

Like your higher end estate planning and or asset management packages.

And you’re just leveraging the adult education centers resources, and free advertising in their periodic off and online booklets, in order to do so.

You Don’t Need A Fully Comprehensive Marketing Plan In Order To Start Succesfully Moving Forward!

2.) Short term goal # two: Secondly, during each workshop/class, you’ll ask your audience, to list their most burning question, they want specific professional help with.

Where, they would be more than willing, to pay your normal hourly fee of X, in order to get the correct answer.

Now if, or whenever you decide to start your own WordPress blog, and or create your own youtube channel, or start your own podcast. Or start selling and promoting your own digital products or courses, on a platform like problemio.com.

This way going forward.You’ll know which specific subjects to write and or make short-lead generating- positioning videos about, in order to attract your ideal future prospects.

And Don’t Forget Yo Can Also Do Some Guest Blogging And Or Guest Podcasting In Order To Inexpensively Get The Word Out As Well!

Plus, you’ll also have a pretty good idea, which subjects will best attract your audience, for future introductory offline courses and or Q & A workshops etc.And or future online webinars, tele-seminars, e-courses and or video boot camps etc.

(Entrepreneur, think about ‘how’ much potential, problem solving, magnetic content, these simple lead generating options will provide for you, and or your major competitors!)

3.) Short term goal # three: But third, and certainly not least, after gathering such critically important target marketing information.

Now, you’ll know what to put on your highly targeted lead capture pages, and your newly created, non corporate, direct response type business cards, and or flyers etc.(More on this mega proven concept in part two.)

In order to inexpensively attract your ideal prospects. And your direct response type business cards, (don’t forget) can and should be passed out.

(Especially at local networking events), after you’ve discovered from your workshop audiences, what their specific hot button topics are.

So you’ll know which proven, lead bait benefits to highlight on both your direct response lead capture page(s),and your direct response type business cards.

    These are great ideas for lead generation.

    Free workshops and talks on your key topic are a great way to build offline trust.
