MenuI run an app company in U.K. And Was wondering if anyone knows where to get leads from?
I'm having trouble getting good quality leads. Most of my leads just asking for price and not coming back to get a sale
Answers
I would be able to advise you better if I saw your website or knew what your niche was but there are two broad principles you should follow:
1) Optimize what you are already doing
You are already getting leads. So, it's not a traffic problem as much as it is a conversion problem.
Keeping this in mind here are some of the things you can do to improve lead quality:
a) Improve the copy on your website. Your positioning and your USP should be such that the right people are attracted and more importantly, the wrong people are turned off. Focus on what your ideal clients look like, and then write the copy around their pain points.
b) Nurture your leads better
Do you have a lead nurturing system in place? If the lead asks for a price, do you ask them to submit a form where you attempt to get more context and insight into their business challenges? Do you run an autoresponder campaign where you highlight the issues your potential customers might face if they dawdle over the transaction?
Sometimes, people might have the budget but they might not have the talking points to sell you to their bosses. It's your job to give them that ammo.
2) Once you have optimized your current processes, you will need to find out new ways to get leads.
You can target a number of channels depending on how much your customer acquisition costs are and the projected customer life time value is.
I would be glad to work out a lead acquisition strategy for you and help you execute it if you can give me some more details.
Hey there,
Without knowing your industry, it is impossible to tell you where to go to "get leads", if they were just at the "Lead Store", our job would be so much easier, right?!
Don't forget, a lead asking for a price is still a lead.
Since we don't have a "lead store", we have to do a little more work.
In my 15+ years of experience, leads who are asking about price first often are not educated in what they *should* be asking, they default to an element that they understand -- without understanding what they need.
I liken this to buying a car. If someone were to ask, "How much does a car cost?" The resounding answer would be: "It depends!"
Do you want a car that runs? Do you want a fancy car? Do you want a van/truck/sedan? Do you want it to be fast? Do you want leather seat covers? Power windows? New? Old?
If a client comes to you asking about the price for an app, it is easy to fall into the trap of giving them a number.
Instead, take a consultative approach. Ask them what they want the app to do for them? For example, "What are you wanting this app to do for you?"
By exploring what they are *really* seeking (probably more leads themselves, or to reduce customer service costs, or to gamify their services in order to increase average sales -- or decrease customer acquisition costs) -- you can help them realize that an *app* is not their solution, it is a tool. Instead, their solution is reducing costs/increasing sales/leads/etc. Then, by working backwards, you can help them see the value of such an tool, "Based on your goals, you want an increase of 500 customers per year, at your stated retention rate, and average customer value, that equates to $50,000 per year. To realize this requires a tool (the app), which is an investment of $10,000."
Now, they are thinking in context of a $10,000 investment nets them $50,000 per year.
Again, by helping to frame what the prospect is looking for, you can have a conversation about value rather than shocking them with a $10,000 price tag "for an app".
I'm happy to help more, just reach out or book a call here.

App company means you are app development company or it means you have your app (product) and leads are asking for the price of the product?
In both options I will reply with detailed answer since I have 30 person agency and I build products!
Some of those "low quality" leads simply lack the budget to hire you. But many of them COULD hire you ... provided you persuade them.
Really, you have a fourfold challenge:
(1) Improve your own conversion rate. Transform a few of those "low quality" leads into clients. On your own terms, without compromising. That means revisiting your sales pitch and honing your interaction habits.
(2) Improve efficiency by eliminating repetitive explanations. Put it in writing, and give prospects a chance to read a bit about you before they ask questions. That should screen out leads that probably won't convert, and it will save time.
(3) Boost lead volume. Get more leads of the same sort you're already getting. Even if only 1% of leads become customers, you can still double your clientele by doubling those leads.
(4) Improve lead quality. Attract a different kind of customer – with a bigger budget and enough experience to value what you're offering. Look for some feathers to stick in your cap. Then go where these target clients spend there time so you can strut around like a peacock.
Your question is focused on #4. But let's not forget about #1, #2, and #3.

What should I do to have my first client on Clarity.fm?
I started on Clarity just by answering questions last summer. I used to love Quora but really disagreed with a number of changes they made and so when Clarity launched answers, I started answering questions. I'm incredibly busy but let's face it: we all have extra time. We spend it looking at our phones, on Facebook, socializing with friends, whatever way each person does it, we all spend time on non mission critical stuff. Because I genuinely enjoy helping others, I treated Quora as a way of relaxing the same way others would read news sites or blogs. And so I switched all that time to Clarity by answering questions. I don't recall the exact specifics but by providing real answers (not just, "call me, I can help you), I had my first call request within about a month of my first answer. And I got a nice review. And some more questions answered, and a couple more calls, and a couple more reviews. And from that point, the call volume increased. Simultaneously, I started referring all "can I pick your brain" requests on LinkedIn and email to my Clarity account. And so some calls initiated that way. More reviews. Now, a year later, I have done over 200 calls, with the majority of it inbound from Clarity. Take it from me, if you make the time, and provide genuine help to people, you will get rewarded for it. But like anything in life, if you're not willing to invest the time and resources, you're unlikely to see any return.TW

How to price conversion rate optimization?
I provide conversion optimisation services on a price per day on a rolling monthly basis. I did it this way, because my background is in software development consultancy and everything was estimated and billed out on a daily basis. I also provide one off services which is normally priced based on how long it would take to complete. I prefer to work with customers on a rolling monthly basis because I can have an impact on many aspects of their digital marketing and business processes. It means I'm also not tied to only creating split tests but have the freedom to advise and have a positive impact on multiple areas of a business.KM

What is the best country to start an online marketing and design business in?
I have registered over 20 companies in the last decade and from my experience I can tell you that every country serves a different purpose. I run a small gambling company that I have registered in Malta due to the legality of online gambling there. I have another company registered in Delaware, whilst my main company is registered in the Netherlands. If your business is only online I would advise you to register it in Europe or if you must in the United States in Delaware/Nevada. Credibility wise I would say that registering your company in Singapore or Malta or Costa Rica, will not benefit you much opposed to say Delaware or The Netherlands. I am available for a call if you need anymore help. I am currently doing a promotion for a one time free 15 minute phone call so just send me a message for the discount code.GS

About to launch our new eCommerce website selling well priced unique watches. What is the best initial marketing strategy to use with minimal cost?
Here are some answers for you that I believe will help you. 1. You should implement a long term and short term strategy right at the beginning. What I mean is that there are essential parts to your marketing like SEO and content marketing that you need to implement right in the beginning, but will take a while to filter through, but these are essential if you want to have organic traffic. That would be L-T. The best for Short term for a newly launched site is ad's. Word of warning though. Know your customers demographics such as age, income, education etc, know your competitors demographics and then find the platform (such as social media channels) where your ideal customer is based on those researched demographics and then roll out targeted ad's for them. 2. You have to implement social media strategies right from the beginning of course, based on your demographic research. 3. Get busy Blogging - start with content marketing now. 4. Sweepstakes - start a giveaway to get traction with clients and create awareness. 5. Make sure you collect emails as these are like gold dust for future email marketing. 6. Video marketing is essential for competitive retail space and very powerful to get found on search engines like Google. Prior to me launching my digital marketing business 5 years ago, I built an online retail business and made many expensive mistakes. And they can be costly if not implemented correctly from the beginning. So in summary: SEO - very important, Ad's, Social Media, Sweepstakes, Blogging, Video & email marketing. I trust this will assist you. Let me know if you wish to have a call to discuss these or have follow up questions. Regards KennethKT

Need a good lead generation strategy for chiropractors for getting new patients. Ideas?
I think Facebook is great for really targeting your audience and you’re on the right track. But I think you can have a better funnel than that. I find, for getting better conversion today, it is better to get your Facebook traffic off of Facebook as fast as you can to your offer and into your funnel. It is more effective for driving actual sales. If you’re just looking for social branding etc. then your funnel might be ok. A very effect strategy is to create either a video or report that you give away to your audience in exchange for an email. It should be something that helps solve or bring to light the problems patients are suffering from and how to go about solving them. Then mention how having a great Chiropractor can solve all of that and can be the most effective way to get ride of the pain. I would also have some things in there that would help them in other ways. Then I would send them to an event or webinar with your top Chiropractor and you in an interview / reveal-all type webinar to educate your lead and manage their fears of going to a Chiropractor. You could tell them that the first step is making an appointment for an assessment. You should make it easy for them to find the best and most effective Chiropractor in their area. You might have a discount on the assessment only available to them for being on the webinar to get them to sign up at the end of the webinar. By the way, once this is recorded, you can make this evergreen so you don't have to do a webinar all the time. As long as you are reaching more and new people with your Facebook campaign you won’t have to change the video all the time. Once you have people signed up to make an appointment, make sure they are also putting a deposit of a 100 dollars or something down. This will increase your show rate for the Chiropractors. Then give them a voucher for that Chiropractor, for more than you’re asking for at the deposit for services, to use with that Chiropractor. Allowing you to prevent cancelations etc. so that their getting their money back in the form of a voucher for services which, by the way, is not a discount and shouldn’t diminishing your Chiropractors Rates. This strategy I have used in several markets that has produced more prequalified leads and patients / customers. Remember to test, track and know your metrics. You’re going to need to make some tweaks in the beginning, but this can be very effective for you. So to recap: 1. Setup a landing page with your offer in exchange for an offer. You can build this in software like Leadpages.net or Megaphoneapp.com 2. Make your offer downloadable if an ebook or white paper or present your video after. I recommend using Wistia instead of YouTube for playback as you will be able to have heat maps of your video to know where your fall off points are. You can also make this page with the software mentioned above. 3. Use an email autoresponder to engage your lead and email them about the event you’re doing after they had time to read or download your materials. Or, if a video, I would just pitch them at the end with a link below the video to automatically register. 4. Put on a webinar with your guest using either GoToWebinar or Google hangouts if you know how to set that up. 5. Make sure you have your appointment getting page with your the down payment created. You can use several different type of scheduling services so you can automatically deliver the lead/ appointment to the chiropractor. To Note: The reason I don’t send the visitor to the webinar first is because it is better to get the visitor predisposed to your information before asking them to commit to a webinar and when you do it the way I played out, you will have a much better show rate. This is it in a nutshell. Obviously there is more to it. If you need another funnel idea I am hear to help. I have used other effective strategies in the past to also make money on the front end to make your advertising free. It just depends on what you want to do and how advanced you want to get. Hope this helps give you some ideas. :) If you need help implementing something like this just let me know.MH
