Magnetise Leads to Your Business with Lead Magnets
We are living through a time of fear and angst, a period that will change the course of history. Coronavirus is new and scary, and it’s a pivotal moment in humankind. As we are faced with changes to the way we operate our businesses, the way we interact with each other and even the way we handle money, there is only one type of business person that can come out on the other side of this pandemic with the means to succeed – the generous.
Amidst the hysteria lie golden nuggets of opportunity. Providing value to your customers.
What we have seen in the past couple of months has been an extreme eye opener about the core of humanity when we are faced with panic, fear and desperation. While we have seen greed, envy, hatred and impatience spill out from society, it’s very important to note that this has been far outweighed with a heavy contrast of love, compassion, patience and generosity. We are all humans. We are all faced with the same, very real, danger.
This shift in the world has happened right before our very eyes and it all happened faster than a speeding motorbike (I love motorbikes – so had to throw it in there). Resistance to change is one of the biggest inhibitors of success, so despite the fear we feel with regard to massive global issues, we must experience and explore the ways our businesses can benefit from this. Change urges us to innovate, think outside the box and take efficiencies to a higher level. More importantly, the relationships you can build with your customers throughout this time are unlike that of any other.
People will always remember the business that supported them and understood them through crisis. Providing people real value during this time will position you above competitors. Not just by giving a discount, but by solving a problem or getting them to their goals, despite what is going on in the world today.
One way we can do this is through the creation of a simple, clear and concise, easily digestible information in the form of a lead magnet or a freebie of some kind. This is a perfect swap of some juicy free info, for the persons basic contact details. It’s a time to build and cement real and deep relationships, which will form the strong foundation on which this new era will rely.
Doesn’t sound like much, huh?
It doesn’t take a lot to whip up some sort of freebie for your potential clients. Yes this kinda thing is given away for free, but in return for their contact details on your email marketing list begins the very fun and rewarding process of getting to know them, what they need and nurturing them along their own individual journey through to being a possible customer of your business when the time is right.
Think of it like this. First, you tell them who you are. Then, you prove your worth by providing them with some actionable information that instantly improves their circumstances. You’ve positioned yourself as an expert now, and they trust you. Over time – now that they’re receiving your email newsletters – they become more familiar with you, and even more amazed at your knowledge, generosity and value! Before long, you’re the first one they think of when they need the product or service offered by your industry. Now, they’re a paying customer & your hard work earns that patiently awaited return.
Some businesses do survive off referrals alone, others have built their client base over many years and are operating near full capacity. But for others, the mystery of finding ways to find your ideal perfect customer, or getting existing customers to buy again is a puzzle to solve.
