A Missed Opportunity For Him, a Great Opportunity for You
A true story about lead generation gone wrong (followed by an invitation):
Once upon a time, an ambitious business owner created a free giveaway to attract new leads.
His target market loved his “lead magnet.” 8,000 signed up and gave the business owner their email addresses.
(8,000! That’s a good lead magnet).
Then the business owner…
…did NOTHING!
He didn’t send a single email to the leads. Not one. Just a thank you page with the lead magnet, then… crickets.
(Holy Missed Opportunity, Batman!)
This morning, the business owner cried out for help in an online business forum.
“I got 8k email addresses from my followers a few months ago. Now, I want to introduce them our new Facebook group to join via email. However, I am not sure what email platform is the safest to send out this many emails without landing in spam or getting flagged.”
(Oy vey!Ā 
)
The spam folder is the least of his worries.
Imagine you’re one of those 8,000 leads. Months have passed since you got the lead magnet. Then, out of the blue, you get an email from some guy who you might or might not remember, pitching his Facebook group.
It’s like meeting a great-looking person at a bar…
…who gives you their number…
…and then months later…
…you call and say, “Ummmm… remember me?”
This won’t go well.
Imagine, instead, if the business owner had followed-up immediately with those who requested the lead magnet.
When someone requests valuable content from you, that’s…
…an invitation to establish a mutually-beneficial relationship with them — right away.
They WANT to hear from you. They’re likely to take a next step. Many will sign up for your next thing (such as your Facebook group). Many will eventually hire you…
…but only if you follow-up!
