3. Focus on the 20% of tasks that will make 80% of the difference.
One of the biggest problems that business owners face is not having enough of the right clients.
So first, let’s focus on who your best clients are – the vital few who will move your business forward. When the
majority of your marketing tasks are focused on a specific WHO with specific pain points, it’s easier to know
where they are and what they need.
This not only eliminates a lot of your previous tasks when you were trying to catch the attention of anyone who
would give it to you, the tasks you can focus on are now much more effective simply because they are
designed for a specific group of people. In other words, when you can be specific in your emails, in your
messages, in who you reach out to, you’ll see greater results than when you’re trying to please everyone.
Generalists don’t get paid top-notch fees, it’s those who specialize and prove they can get a specific result.
Second, in order to address the other half of the problem, you need a system you can rely on to consistently
bring those vital few to your door. And when you have this set up, as long as you keep it running you’ll have
opportunities to enroll new clients. It’s really that simple.
5. 1. Follow your targeted prospects on LinkedIn
Like all our campaigns everything starts by doing prospect research.
This step is extremely important because it will enhance your understanding of what motivates your prospects
and will make speaking their language that much easier when you know what your prospect values. You’ll
want to compile some initial research that will support all the other tasks you’ll do on a daily basis.
But keep your finger on the pulse. Stay in tune and see what your prospects are sharing, the groups they are
joining and the conversations they are starting. This will take just a few minutes everyday.
6. 2. Optimize your LinkedIn presence to build authority
We are focusing on LinkedIn right now because that’s
where our clients are, and for the majority of our clients,
it’s where their ideal prospects are as well.
Use the information from step 1 to optimize and
personalize your LinkedIn profile for your ideal clients. Is
there an issue your targets are currently facing? Keep an
eye out for ways to incorporate current trends or pain
points your audience is talking about into your profile.
And start building authority through the LinkedIn groups
where you share with prospects strategic content on the
topics that interest them. If you want to go a step beyond,
build a LinkedIn group and share third party content that
your prospects are interested in, it will position you as a
trusted expert. Aim to share something at least once a
week to your third-party groups, and 3-5 times a week if
you are the group owner.
7. 3. Connect with targeted prospects
Once you’ve optimized your LinkedIn presence and you know EXACTLY who your best prospects are, you’re
ready to personally reach out to these prospects and build your database of targeted connections.
Here you want to set aside a few minutes every week to add more targeted connections on LinkedIn.
We like to kick things off with a bang by connecting with hundreds of quality prospects when we launch a
campaign to build up some runway, but be sure to keep the gas on by reaching out to smaller batches of new
prospects each week. You can keep the momentum by setting aside some time to do this everyday.
8. 4. Manage opportunities via LinkedIn’s messenger
Once you’ve connected with someone who may be a prospect, you need
to build the relationship and you can do that through LinkedIn messaging.
A successful LinkedIn messaging campaign is one that doesn’t jump to
pitching a sales conversation too quickly. It focuses on relationship by
adding value and building rapport based on your prospects’ interests. You
can invite them to your group and share interesting content.
Just remember that the idea is to add value (and prove yourself as an
expert at the same time). We’ve designed a Multi-Touch messaging
campaign to convert your prospects into 1-on-1 appointments and
consultations, providing you the opportunity to follow-up and close them.
This is typically 4-7 messages over a period of a few weeks leading to a
sales appointment. You’ll want to keep track of your messages and
prospects on an Excel sheet and set aside a few minutes everyday to
respond to any incoming messages and make sure things are moving
forward.
9. 5. Follow-up and stay top-of-mind
While you will see a percentage of your prospects book a sales appointment with you following this method,
the reality is that not everyone will be ready for a phone call right now.
So you need a way to stay top-of-mind so that when they are ready, they know exactly who they will turn to.
This is when you can use a combination of both your LinkedIn group, your content posts and LinkedIn
messaging, but additionally we find that you can generate 10%+ more leads by including email in your
follow-up. Again, this will just take a few minutes everyday, you’ll just want to make sure the email you deliver
is personal and warm.
Tip: Don’t just dump your contacts into your Mailchimp newsletter. You want it to be a more personal email.
