🤖 Agency Tip: Have a Realistic Lead Quality Discussion EARLY
When local businesses get big enough to need marketing help, they tend to be moving from a purely referral driven business.
While this looks like a huge opportunity to show off your marketing skills, you’ve just found yourself in an uphill battle.
Your client is used to pre-sold leads that close in a snap – where the only real question they needed to ask was, “…Visa, Mastercard, or American Express?” Their initial success with referrals gave them some pretty wild expectations which will be difficult to overcome.
When you expand to new channels, the leads generated are going to be different. And you need to make sure of two VERY important things:
Have this conversation as early in the client relationship as possible. If you can, set these expectations during the discovery call phase and you’ll avoid the “You’re leads aren’t quality” accusation…at least for a while!
