The hardest part of online lead generation is converting your online leads into actual sales conversations. Success is in the follow-up. That is, converting the contact information you are collecting from all of your websites and social media accounts into actual sales conversations so you can book more appointments and ultimately close more deals.
If you've been in sales for any significant length of time, you probably already have a bunch of social media accounts, landing pages, websites, etc. You've spent a lot of time setting up your social media accounts in an effort to draw more leads to you. The problem lies in the fact that monitoring all of these accounts and any inquiries coming in from them is time-consuming. What happens more often than not, is that you may not notice that someone reached out to you until hours or days later and the new lead falls through the cracks.
SMS vs Email Marketing
Online leads are extremely fickle. If you don't grab them within the first 60 seconds, they're gone. We have found that most people will respond to a text message quickly compared to scanning email messages sitting in their inbox.
FACT 1: 70% of customers prefer to message with businesses (Washington Post)
FACT 2: Text messages have a 98% open rate within the first 5 mins.
FACT 3: Email has a 20% open rate in the first 24 hours.
Taking a look at those facts, it’s clear that text messaging is significantly more effective than email marketing. Don't get me wrong, email marketing is still an effective marketing tool. But when time is critical, text messaging is the best form of follow-up. In fact, people are more likely to answer a text than they are to answer a call from an unknown number.
So, how can you harness the power of all of your social media marketing efforts into one powerful lead generation machine? It’s critical that all of your lead generation sites and online ads are pulled into one central hub where you can see any emails, texts, or calls that come in. That’s the absolute easiest and most efficient method of keeping track of new lead inquiries, missed calls, direct messages, and SMS conversations. Then have an automated lead follow-up system in place to converse with those leads even when you can't personally respond right away.
During our 30 Day Lead Challenge we walk you through the process of integrating all of your social media and websites into one central hub. So, if your clients text you or send you a direct message from Facebook or Instagram or leave you a review on your Google My Business account, you'll know and be able to respond instantly. Now you don’t have to spend hours checking multiple sites individually and risk missing live inquiries.
Do It Yourself Lead Generation
We also walk you through the Auto Missed Called feature. This is a simple way to turn your missed phone calls into SMS messages. If a client calls your business using the new local phone number we helped you set up, the system will immediately recognize that you missed a call and then automatically send back a text message. You can easily customize the reply message. Now, you’ll never miss another lead again.
Leads are great but if you don’t have an easy way to instantly respond to your leads easily and book appointments, all your money, time and efforts are useless.
Using our system, we have pre-built email and SMS follow-up workflows that will automatically reach out and connect with the leads your generating, book appointments and close more deals.
Taking our 30 Day Lead Challenge is well worth your time and effort. You'll come out with much greater confidence and a stronger foundation for your marketing efforts from this point forward.
