Lead generation is an online marketing strategy that is designed to stimulate and capture the interest of a service or product in order to increase sales channels. Over the years, lead generation has transformed considerably and is today a highly important way to raise awareness and promote a business.

What’s so important about Lead Generation?

Since the explosion of the internet the nature of advertising has changed considerably. Today’s most popular techniques focus on building relationships with the customer rather than through blast emails or mass advertising. The face of marketing has evolved so much that there is now a greater emphasis on ‘being found’ rather than finding customers. The intention is to represent the customer, not represent the business.

Lead generation is critical in reaching out to clients and being heard throughout all the ‘noise’ generated on the web. The abundance of information available means that consumers can perform their own research like never before, through educational resources, social media and other online resources.

As a result it is vital that businesses make themselves available as abundantly as possible through lead generation. Having a vast digital presence is vital because primarily, today’s customers are not find – some 75% of customers actually find the business independently. As a result, developing a solid lead generation strategy will ensure that you are able to build a rapport whilst capturing the interest of current and potential clients.

What is Positive Lead Generation?

Positive lead generation is generating leads that are not ignored, lost or taken by competitors. It is creating authentic, high-quality leads through relevant content that appeals to the right consumer.

It is about being creative and capturing the interest of the client through amongst all the noise. It is about enhancing the number of qualified leads your business generates, thus amplifying sales and augmenting revenue channels.
