Let’s start with the basics. A lead is a person who has indicated interest in your company’s product or service in some way, shape, or form. In other words, instead of getting a random cold call from someone who purchased your contact information, you’d hear from a business or organization you’ve already opened communication with.
Key Takeaways:
- A lead is a person who has indicated interest in your company’s product or service in some way, shape, or form.
- Lead generation is the process of attracting and converting strangers and prospects into those leads we just talked about.
- By showing an organic interest in your business, it’s those strangers and prospects that are initiating the relationship with you — versus you, the business, initiating the relationship with them. This makes it easier and more natural for them to want to buy from you somewhere down the line.
