Organic, Multiplatform Lead Generation Explained…
Facebook’s platform reaches around the globe. Businesses of all kinds are leveraging the platform. Connecting with business owners in a place where they are expressing interest is a strong source of leads. However, understanding navigation, restrictions and how to communicate is key.
LinkedIn is similar to Facebook, but it’s a professionally focused platform. Understanding how to use LinkedIn’s database is a powerful tool. However, there are restrictions. How you represent your brand and how you connect are both equally important!
Email Sequencing
You’d may be surprised to learn that even though everyone’s email inbox is flooded with emails everyday, email communication and follow up is a leading source of deal flow in any sales environment. The key is persistence …and automation of course!
A big part of conducting business online is problem solving. Tracking businesses, decision makers and contact information sometimes needs to be pieced together. It’s actually very quick and simple to do …if you follow the right work flow that is. Information is power!
Here’s some common questions & answers we field about our FREE Lead Generation methods.
I'm not great with computers, is that a problem?
You will not be taking on extrememly complicated tasks. We use Google Docs and Sheets which are very similar to Microsoft Office’s products MS Word and Excel. Basic knowlege of Google’s search engine, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Email is helpful. However, even if you lack experience in any of these areas these platforms are very user friendly and we’re here to answer any questions you have.
How long does organic, multiplatform lead generation take?
Once you’ve become familiar with the routine, our lead generation methods take about an hour and a half each day manually, or half that amount of time with automation tools. The learning curve is short because the tasks are simple and the process is repetitive.
What if I get stuck and need help? Am I on my own?
ION’s here to help! We provide 1 on 1 screen share support.
What's the cost associated with your lead generation methods?
Our lead generation methods are FREE. However, automation tools do come at a premium. ION is not a software development company, and therefore we are not offering software solutions. We are only making reccomendations based on the tools we use. The options we reccomend typically cost anywhere from $30-$80 per month.
What kind of computer do I need to conduct business effectively?
A basic computer with a steady internet connection is all you need. Everything is hosted online and downloadable.
