The information you offer about your business online is your brand ambassador. It speaks volumes about how well you understand your prospective client’s needs and conveys your business’ personality. Giving the right information means knowing your target client and marketing to them.
Contact forms are the bread and butter of lead generation. Use them to funnel prospects into your clientflow. Once you’ve qualified a lead, and responded quickly, the next most important part of your client interaction is setting the project up for success with client onboarding documents.
Mapping your process is a key part of understanding your clientflow. Identify opportunities to streamline your process with a process map.
Who is your ideal client? Nothing is worse than a client who doesn’t fit your needs—figure out whom you want to work with so you can speak to those prospects directly.
Make sure your social accounts are up to date with correct information so you don’t lose the lead.
