MenuWhat are the best ways to generate more leads from a website?
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.

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

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

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
