Hot take: Your service business probably doesn't need to generate more leads. You need to take better care of the leads you already have. Having people fill out a "contact us" form just to make them wait for a generic follow-up email to schedule slows down your sales process AND frustrates your customers. Here are 3 things you can do instead to get leads on your calendar and on the right track to becoming customers. 1) Let them choose a time right away You can still use forms to get people's contact info, but link your calendar right after so leads can choose a consultation time without the back and forth. 2) Let them send you a message with webchat A webchat tool like Web2Txt gives site visitors a way to ask you questions and then you can text them back directly. No need for them to wait around on the site for an answer or struggle talking with a bot. 3) Replace email with text message outreach Again, use your form to collect contact info. Just have that form submission trigger text message outreach instead of email so you get directly in front of the people who want to give you money. #smallbusiness #servicebusiness #salesfollowup #scheduling

Blasting generic messages to your entire contact list? In this economy? With holiday sales and offers filling up our inboxes, it's easy to think that a massive blast approach is The Way to Grow. Even for a local service-based business. Instead of choosing short-term wins and ruining your relationships with customers, do these 3 things instead: 1. Plan relevant outreach that will start 1-to-1 conversations Even when taking a "1-to-many" approach, your emails and texts should be clearly personalized to the group you're contacting. 2. Reach out, and then do it again (and again and again) Your communication with customers should be ongoing. Thoughtfully schedule follow-ups to stay in touch about the things your customers care about. 3. Ask customers to do 1 action If your sales outreach looks like a laundry list of tasks, you're going to be ignored. Point customers in one direction. It can be to schedule, explore service options, claim a deal... Just make sure it's 1 action. #smallbusiness #servicebusiness #salescommunication
