What are the major things need to be a focus for lead generation through the website?
Answers
The answer to this question covers a massive terrain.
You can search for generalized answers.
For more specific answers, likely best you connect with someone who is successful in your niche + talk with them about how they do lead generation.
The gold standard, write a blog about your niche + monetize with Adsense, then after you develop your own products to sell, replace the Adsense Ads with your own Ads.
I would like to share my experience on this topic. The things which I will say is the things which I have tried.
Your website is more than a digital placeholder – or at least it should be. Whether you use your website to generate visits to your brick-and-mortar location, sell products online, or boost subscription rates, these seven tips can help you generate more leads from your website. With competition increasing at a dramatic rate in the online world, it is important to ensure that you are making the most of your visitors. Driving traffic can be costly and if your website is not developed in an appropriate manner, your business could be suffering.
1. Create A Micro Landing Page
Internet users have notoriously short attention spans, which means you have just a few seconds to convince them to stick around and spend some quality time on your website.
A micro landing page is a full-page popup that appears in response to specific user behavior, such as hovering over a block of text or attempting to click off your site. Adding a well-designed micro landing page to your home page can increase conversion rates by 15%.
2. Add Your Phone Number
While adding a phone number to a website might seem a bit backward, nothing says “scam website” like one that’s completely devoid of basic contact information. Adding your phone number helps boost the credibility of your company while giving your prospects another way to reach out to you.
3. Include Your Address or Location
According to a study by Google, “4 in 5 consumers use search engines to find local information.” Half of all consumers who search for local businesses on their smartphone make in-person visits the same day, and 18% of local smartphone searches “lead to a purchase within a day.” Adding your address to your website helps boost your credibility, increase your leads and drive sales.
4. Install Live Online Chat Option
Live chat can help drive sales and generate leads, regardless of what industry you’re in. This gives you a chance to dialog directly with a prospect who might otherwise be unwilling or unable to phone you – think commuters sitting on a bus, office workers stuck in a meeting, or anyone else who would rather type than talk.
5. Add Photos To Your User Testimonial Pages
Testimonials can be a great way to harness the marketing power of “social proof,” so long as your visitors believe those statements from happy customers and clients actually come from real, live people. Adding photos to your testimonial page can help you generate more leads by convincing your audience that there are real live people behind all those glowing reviews.
6. Use Explainer Videos
Internet users expect to get the information they want fast – that’s why explainer videos have emerged as one of the best tools for lead generation, especially when you’re dealing with a product or service that’s abstract or complex.
7. Make It Mobile-Friendly
According to the Pew Research Center, over three-quarters of all Americans 18 and older now own a smartphone, and close to 20% of smartphone owners use their mobile devices exclusively to access the internet. By making your website mobile-friendly, you’ll capture leads from the lucrative and ever-growing mobile internet user market.
While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to boosting website lead generation, by implementing these simple tips you can transform your underperforming site into a strong, reliable driver of new leads for your enterprise.

Demand less of your leads. Offer more for them.
You need to find people who want what you're selling. You can't afford to weed them out. So your ad campaigns need to be specific. It's ok if they will only attract a small fraction of your potential market. As long as they only attract those people and no others.
It's not just about paying for ads, or clicks, or conversions. It's about the time it will take to weed them out.
The tried and true method is to get people to give you their email address. But that's getting harder, and it's getting easier to give a fake email address for spam. Even if they want what you're giving -- they can go setup a hotmail account and never check it after they've registered or gotten your download.
So what you want to do is offer them something for free -- no obligation. Share your knowledge. Entertain them. Get them coming back for more, because they want to.
And then, after they've made a commitment -- clicked a link, read an article, downloaded a whitepaper, etc. Then you can ask them if they'd like to hear more.
Not if they want to buy -- if they'd like to hear more. You give them 5 free tips via 5 weekly emails. Or you offer a free download. Or a trial membership. And then when that's done, you can ask if they'd like to hear more.
They will always know how to contact you to buy.
Focus upon good contents and best offers for your prospects, leads will increase automatically.

Whats the best way to find commission sales reps?
This is not my specialty, however, I have been in your position many many times -- maybe this will help. If the product is in-tangible, then look for JV partners on the Internet. Try to find an expert that deals with these JV opportunities (like me). If the product is physical, then look for sales organizations that have networks of sales people across the country. You do the deal with the organization and the independent network of sales people sells your product. It's a sweet setup if you can negotiate a margin that works for everyone. Hope that helps - Cheers - NickNP

How to hire an outsourcer (Upwork, Freelancer, etc.) for lead generation for a design and branding firm?
I've been using UW for a few years. It is very useful but you have to be careful. Lot of unreliable people out there. Over the years, I've narrowed a couple of people I keep using. And have excluded others. Few things: 1- It's best to give clear instruction. I tend to build GSheet on what I need, interact a lot of Skype at the beginning 2- If you are searching for mails, do use email verification services. I find that people I work with tend to have a 95% success rate but, at the start, best to be on the safe side rather than burn your mail server (bounce rate need to be low) 3- Focus helps but if you are testing things out, you could use a platform like Reply.io to test out a few verticals and see what works or what doesn't work. 4- It feels your target markets are a bit too generic. Using UW, you'd have too wide a net. There are various ways to narrowing things down, from geos to title to company size or even keyword in company profile. Again, what is possible is to set a filter and share it with UW. Hope it helps, UW etc... are useful and best in my experience than the products out there. But it is a bit of work (no pain no gain). Happy to set up a call if you see value (am rather new to Clarity so not too sure how it works!). Best, HHH

How effective is Referral Key for generating leads?
Not totally clear on what you are asking, but if the questions is; does giving out a referral code to an existing user in hopes that they would refer another work? My experience (largely in B2B software) is not all that well, at least not without some sort of incentive. Even if your user is super satisfied with the product/service you are providing, simply giving them a code to give another person doesn't necessarily drive them to make the handoff. Now, two things. First, if you either incentivize the existing user with say a discount on his next bill or a free goodie, then he'll be more likely to do it... Even better, if you do that, plus give the referred user some kind of benefit, like a discount on his first bill, free trial or other goody, then it can work rather well. Second, all that said, know that referrals in general are gold. You should test and do whatever you can to get referrals. Generally @Leads360 we found that providing really high quality customer service (more so than even the best product) lead to referrals. To that point, our sales people worked in tandem with customer service in this way. Whenever a CS person realized they gave a great customer experience they would let the sales person know and they would then reach out to that customer while still warm from the nice touch and simply ASK for a referral. I was always surprised when we could get referrals simply by asking. I like to stick with 1 referral at a time, just ask for 1 person to be email connected with, don't overwhelm them with the statement "hey, can you refer your friends and colleagues to us", be specific. Something like "I see on LinkedIn you're connected with John B from ACME corp, I'd really like to speak with him about our product, would be willing to make an introduction for me".JS

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

I am working on creating a sales compensation plan for a recurring revenue model are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of when creating this?
Personally, I'm a fan of sales comp plans being tied to ongoing performance. Sure, the salesperson should get some of that long tail, but only while he continues to work productively at the company. Once he leaves, he should lose the tail, since someone else will likely need to step into the relationship with his customers. But there are too many variables to give a universal answer. The true answer is this: You need to pay your salespeople enough so that they are motivated to keep working for you rather than seeking alternative employment. This means you need to analyze at-quota pay, and ensure that your base and commission structures provide a market-level of compensation at quota. You can muck with anything you want as long as that goal is met.DF
