Build a Simple Lead Generation System (That Actually Works!)

Hello Chasers,

Are you tired of the lead generation rollercoaster?

One minute you’re drowning in inquiries, the next you’re staring at crickets?

It’s time to ditch the chaos and embrace a simple, effective system. Because let’s be honest, who has time for complicated spreadsheets and endless manual outreach?

Building on our business theme of ‘Simple Systems’ for this quarter, where we offer advice and strategies on how to effectively systemise your business, here’s a simple lead generation system for any business type.

Now, this isn’t about some magic formula or “growth hack.” It’s about creating a sustainable, predictable flow of potential customers. Think of it like building a well-oiled machine – each part plays a crucial role, working together seamlessly.

So, how do we build this lead-generating masterpiece?

Let’s break it down into four easy-to-digest steps:

1. Know Your Ideal Customer (Like, Really Know Them):

Before you start casting your net, you need to know what kind of fish you’re trying to catch. What are their pain points? What are their aspirations? Where do they hang out online (and offline)?

Creating a detailed customer avatar is key. Give them a name, a job, even a favourite weekend activity. The more specific you are, the better you can tailor your message and attract the right leads.

• Example: Instead of targeting “people interested in outdoor activities,” target “weekend warriors who enjoy off-road adventures and maintaining their own equipment.”

2. Create Irresistible Lead Magnets:

Now that you know who you’re targeting, you need to offer them something valuable in exchange for their contact information. This is your “lead magnet.” Think freebies that solve a specific problem for your ideal customer.

• Examples:
  • Ebook: “The Ultimate Guide to Motorcycle Maintenance for Beginners” (for the motorcycle crowd)
  • Checklist: “Pre-Season Jet Ski Checklist: Ensure a Smooth and Safe Summer” (for the jet ski enthusiasts)
  • Webinar: “Maximise Your Garden’s Yield: Expert Tips for Growing Bountiful Produce” (for the gardening aficionados)
  • Template: “Monthly Gardening Planner Template” (for the green thumbs)
  • Discount Code: “10% off your first service or purchase” (appeals to all segments)

Make sure your lead magnet is high-quality, relevant, and easy to consume. Nobody wants a 50-page eBook they’ll never read.

3. Build a Simple Landing Page:

This is where the magic happens. Your landing page is where you showcase your lead magnet and collect contact information. Keep it clean, concise, and focused on the offer.

• Key elements:
  • Compelling headline
  • Brief description of the offer
  • Clear call to action (e.g., “Download Now,” “Get Instant Access,” “Redeem Your Discount”)
  • Simple form to collect name and email

Don’t overcomplicate it with unnecessary distractions. The goal is to get those leads!

4. Nurture Your Leads (Don’t Ghost Them!):

You’ve captured some leads – fantastic!

But the work doesn’t stop there. Now you need to nurture those relationships and turn them into paying customers.

• Email marketing is your best friend here:
  • Send a welcome email delivering the lead magnet.
  • Follow up with valuable content related to their interests (e.g., maintenance tips for motorcycles, safety tips for jet skis, gardening advice for different seasons).
  • Offer exclusive discounts or promotions on related products or services (e.g., motorcycle accessories, jet ski ‘winterisation’ packages, gardening tools).

The key is to provide value, build trust, and stay top-of-mind.

The Takeaway:

Building a simple lead generation system isn’t rocket science. It’s about understanding your audience (whether they’re revving engines, riding the waves, or tending their gardens), offering valuable resources, and nurturing those connections.

By following these four steps, you can create a predictable flow of leads and stop chasing your tail once and for all.

Now go build that lead-generating machine!
