Is your lead generation tool kit well stocked or almost empty? Or are your lead generation tools rusty and no longer work? What lead generation tools are you using? And are the tools you are using producing results?

So many people over so many years have told me that they just cannot grow their service business. They will complain that they can’t seem to generate enough leads. After listening to them complain, I ask them what and how many lead generation tools they are using? The majority of the time they tell me that they advertised in the Yellow Pages and mailed some letters. And that was the total of their lead generation efforts. Wow, and they are complaining that they do not get enough leads.

It has been my experience that the more lead generation tools you use, the more leads, clients and revenue you will generate. But, you must use productive and proven lead generation tools that give you a good ROI (return on investment). The more effective lead generation tools you use, the more stable the growth of your service business you will experience. What I mean by that is if you are using 5, 10 or more lead generation tools and some of those tools start becoming less effective, you have numerous other tools still working for you. And this is much safer than using only 1 or 2 lead generation tools and having one of those fail. It is essentially a risk management strategy. Having said that, what approach would you prefer, multiple tools or one or two tools?

Reflecting on what have been successful tools for me in the past, your Strategic Thinking Business Coach identified thirteen (13) proven lead generation tools to apply to your service business. And here they are in no priority order.

Re: Service Or Product? - I agree with starting a Service-based Business in the economy. Here is what I think is critical: 1. Researching that your Service business has a market. 2. Marketing the Service with as much leverage as possible. 3. Product-izing the Service (aka Package Expert Knowledge). This will only help elevate you as "the" expert in your niche and make you accessible to people in different price points.

Re: Business Coaching Resources - You're fortunate when you can find a Business Coach who has experience beyond where you've been and even where you are going. When your budget is slim and even after, it's good to have a mentor. Several of various backgrounds are very useful. They can be teachers, professors, pastors, business people, family members, bosses and former bosses. You have to be clear on what you want and what you desire to achieve, be able to convey it as simply as possible. Stop and listen and don't over tax their time. You should always expect results whether from a Business Coach or Mentors. If you're not gtting results, you're either not focused or you need to upgrade the quality of your mentors/coaches. Always surround yourself by people smarter than you.
