What’s the Quick Fix to Get More Leads?
Ah yes, the million-dollar question. If I had a dollar for every time a client asked me how to get more leads, I’d be sipping something fizzy in a hammock somewhere. But here I am, still in the trenches with you—and honestly? I love it here. But here’s the deal: There’s no quick fix to get more leads!
The truth is, lead generation isn’t a single tactic. It’s a layered, strategic process that depends on your brand, your offer, your ideal client, and yes—your follow-through. So if you’re here hoping for a magic wand or a one-size-fits-all answer, sorry friend. But if you’re ready for a clear, creative strategy backed by data and a little marketing muscle? Let’s talk. In the meantime, follow this clear list of steps you can take and if you stick to it – you should get new leads!
Step One: Want More Leads? You’ve Got to Know Who You’re Talking To!
You can’t attract what you haven’t defined. Getting more leads starts with getting crystal clear on your ideal client—what they need, what they value, and what keeps them up at night. Your content, your offers, even the colors you use—everything should speak directly to them. When that connection is dialed in, leads come easier. Promise.
Step Two: To Get More Leads, Your Website Needs to Work Harder Than You Do!
Your website isn’t a digital brochure. It’s your 24/7 salesperson. It should tell your story, answer questions, build trust, and offer something of value before someone ever books a call. Whether it’s a free download, a quiz, or simply clear, compelling copy—your site should be doing the heavy lifting. If it’s not? Let’s fix that.
Step Three: Show Up Where It Matters
You don’t need to be everywhere. You need to be in the right places. That might mean finally getting serious about LinkedIn, or maybe it’s time to dust off your email list. Maybe your dream clients are scrolling Instagram stories while sipping their matcha. Wherever they are, you need a consistent, intentional presence that reminds them you exist and that you can help.
Step Four: Offer Value Before You Pitch
This is where most people get it wrong. You don’t just show up with a megaphone shouting, “Buy from me!” You build trust by sharing insights, solving small problems, and creating content that makes people feel smarter, seen, or supported. When you consistently add value, people start coming to you.
🐝 tip: Find what you love to do best and DO IT! I love to blog, so I write articles answering people’s most frequently asked questions.
Step Five: Keep the Funnel Moving
So many leads fall through the cracks because there’s no system in place to nurture them. Follow-up matters. Whether it’s an automated email sequence, a personal DM, or a calendar reminder to check in, have a plan for what happens after someone raises their hand. Interest without action = lost opportunity.
Step Six: Track What Works.
Creative is great. Strategy is necessary. But data tells the truth. Pay attention to what’s converting. Where are leads coming from? What content gets the most clicks? If something’s working—do more of that. If it’s not—rinse, adjust, repeat. Marketing is a living, breathing thing. Give it some love and it will grow!
🐝 tip: Note how I tossed in a little “living breathing” reference into the article? That’s my brand—I’m all about nature. You can do the same!
And Finally: Turning Leads into Long-term Term Clients
Make sure you’re not losing your leads along the way. Check out my post on Understanding the Customer Journey for tips on building trust and keeping your audience engaged from first click to final conversion.
You don’t need a gimmick. You need a smart, sustainable strategy and a message that resonates.
And if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of doing it all alone? That’s what I’m here for.
