Are you looking for some cool new lead generation techniques?

We all know how competitive online lead generation has become. So, unless you have the right strategy it’s gonna be a hell lot more difficult for you to capture those prospects lingering around you.

Mainly, because there are tons of businesses after your prospects. And may be have a hold onto some better lead generation strategies than you do. Unless you take the right action, at the right time you won’t be able to outperform them.

And to outperform them you have 3 broad options:

1. Drive relevant and more valuable traffic
2. Come up with more enticing offers
3. Optimize lead finder services for your site

I know, the first 2 ways have been overly discussed and you don’t need any more guides on these topics. However, lead generation companies haven’t been touched on as much.

This article will revolve around the best lead generation companies and tools. That helps to accelerate your website traffic and boost conversion rate while reducing your bounce rate to a greater extent.

Before we get into the lead finder tools, let’s have a look at why optimizing your online presence with them will help you improve your conversions. 

Lead finder tactic required more than just some cool marketing tactics to seduce customers. According to KevinTPayne, while looking for a product/service online, customers today spend 57% of their time doing the research before reaching out to you.

To generate more business, you need to gear up with an action-based lead finder technique. Let me explain how.

Lead Generation Strategy 101 + Example: Targeting Existing Audience

Lead generation should focus first on creating high-quality leads, rather than a high quantity

Best Lead generation companies strategies have a pipeline of qualified leads. And the most essential step would be to cover the bases of your audience. Your company should maintain its relationship with your audience by getting more information about their interests.

In order to begin with, ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you care about their existence? If yes then what are the protocols you follow
  • Are you convincing enough for your prospects to send their information to you?
  • Is it worth spending time and money on these prospects?
  • Are your leads revisiting your site?
  • Have your leads become your long-term customers?

To answer all these questions you need to dig deeper into your existing audience. And trust me when I say this – you can find more customers here than anywhere else.

Take a look at our recent case study on real estate lead generation techniques that drove a huge engagement of 4500+ leads and a $100,000 business for a client.

A real estate business reached out to us to try our chatbot while looking for lead finder companies. Their main objective was to automate listing related queries, updates and other information that they were unable to provide in a timely manner.

Here’s what we were able to achieve for the client with the chatbot-driven lead generation strategy. Looks amazing no?

To capture more prospects, they wanted an automated solution and we suggested them to integrate a messenger chatbot. As Facebook is an excellent place to generate leads, drive engagement and traffic to the website as well.

To drive traffic on the website we first need to build enough audience on their messenger chatbot. Instead of setting up a budget for the outreach and paid ads, we simply targeted their existing audience.

The company had a pretty solid email subscription list. So, we came up with an affiliate program for them. This simple technique proved to a solid lead generation tool! We were able to get these results:

email open rate was 20% which is pretty good for the first step of our lead generation stategy

Why did this lead finder strategy work?

It’s simple. Your existing audience is your target audience. And taking baby steps at the beginning of your strategy proves a safe and easy way to create lead magnets. Rather than going all-in with multiple lead generation tools, you should try one at a time. See how effective it proves to be and then include more if needed.

Quality over quantity any day! The same goes for your potential customers.

You should focus on providing some value to your audience first as bait and those who find your offer valuable enough or feel like you understand their pain points will eventually turn into qualified leads.

Here’s how you can get qualified leads using chatbot with PPC ads

Like a lead generation chatbot, there are tons of other lead finder companies you can try,

So without further ado, let’s get right into these 5 lead generation companies and tools (both paid and free) to elevate your business.
