Lead Generation Tips – Setting Proper Goals

Napoleon Hill once said that “a goal is a dream with a deadline.”  Working for yourself can be really great but you also need to be motivated and disciplined.  Today I want to talk to you about realistic goal setting and share some lead generation tips.

Once you have your lead capture page set up you should spend the majority of your time trying to drive traffic to your site and generate leads.  It is much better to generate your own leads than to buy them.

Generic business opportunity leads are just that, generic.  They filled in a form requesting information about any business, not only yours.  And these leads are often shared with other people.

When you generate your own leads at least they will have some idea who you are.  And they will be solely yours.  People often get ticked when they are contacted over and over by different people.

So what is a realistic number of leads to begin with?  If you can generate 5 leads a day you should have enough people to talk to and signing up with you in your business.  That is 35 leads each week.

Now they don’t have to be evenly spaced out.  You can get 20 one day and 15 another day.  You will get to know your numbers after awhile.  When times are slow you can follow up with the leads that you do have.

Once you get a lead send them a personal email introducing yourself.  People want to know that you are willing to help them.  Going the extra mile can often make a huge difference in your results.

Sometimes a person will sign up in your business without you even speaking with them.  It is still the best to give them a call and see if there are any questions they have and how they are doing.

So concentrate on getting 5 leads per day.  Once you do that you will start seeing some results.  It will take some time but success in business doesn’t happen overnight.

So many people fall for the hype and that is why they program hop.  If you focus on one program and keep at it you will start seeing the fruits of your labour.  If other people can make money with the business chances are that you can too!
