Lead Generation
Lead Generation for Small Businesses: Where to Start
Fewer channels, done properly, beats a scattergun.
Small teams do not lose at lead generation because they lack tactics. They lose because they spread too thin and drop the leads they do get. Start narrow and finish what you start.
Focus on channels you can actually work
Pick one or two channels where your buyers already are — referrals, local search, one ad platform, one content topic — and commit for a quarter. A channel you half-run produces leads you half-follow-up.
Make your website capture leads
Your website is the one channel you own. A short enquiry form on your key pages, wired to a CRM, turns existing traffic into leads without more spend.
Track where leads come from
Record a source on every lead. After a month you will know which channel is worth more of your time and which to drop.
Follow up before the lead goes cold
A generated lead is only worth something if someone contacts it. Assign each one an owner and a follow-up time the moment it arrives.
