10 Feb Conversion Strategy for Beginners: Lead Capture, Sales Pipeline & Lead Nurturing
This article is all about explaining the basics of how to organize a process for turning people who are interested in your business into happy customers. We will explain three simple steps: getting contact information, following a clear plan, and keeping in touch.
What Is Lead Capture?
Lead capture means having a system for saving contact information of people who might want to buy your products or services.
Why It Is Important:
• It lets you talk to them until they are ready to buy.
• It helps you share useful tips so they remember you when they are ready purchase.
Easy Ways to Do It:
• Events: Host fun webinars or workshops and ask people to sign up.
• Resources: Give away helpful guides or checklists in exchange for contact details.
• Consultations: Offer a free meeting to show how good you are.
• Newsletters: Ask them to join your email list for news and updates.
How to Start:
Find out what your ideal customer likes. Give them something useful to build trust.
What Is A Sales Pipeline?
A sales pipeline is like a map that shows the path from a new friend to a customer. It helps you know where each person is in the process.
Steps Might Include:
• A warm lead (someone who is interested)
• Communication (there’s a conversion happening)
• A meeting is set up
• A proposal is sent
• The sale is closed (the person buys or does not buy)
Why It Helps:
• Clarity: You see exactly where everyone is on the map.
• Optimization: You can find and fix any problems.
• Insight: You learn which steps work best.
Action Step:
Write down the steps you guide a lead through in order to close a sale. This is a great starting point for you to start gaining an understanding of what your sales process is.
What Is Lead Nurturing?
Not everyone is ready to buy right away. Lead nurturing means keeping in touch with people until they are ready.
Why It Is Important:
• Some people need time before they decide.
• Helpful touch points can help a build a relationship and trust so your lead chooses you when they are ready to buy. (Don’t check-in too often or be too pushy!)
How to Do It:
• Send regular emails, like once a month.
• Share interesting content, such as special offers or fun news that your target audience is very interested in.
