It’s Time to Stop Collecting Leads, and Start Connecting

Published Date
Author Joanna Harrison

It's easy to fall into the trap of accumulating a vast database of leads, but success doesn’t come from the quantity of your contacts. It comes from the quality of your connections. If your database is unengaged, it’s not generating revenue, just collecting dust. A smaller, well-nurtured list often yields better results than a massive, cold database.​

Audit Your Database:

  1. Evaluate Your Current Database: Identify which leads are active and which have gone cold.​

  2. Prioritize Engagement: Focus on leads who have shown interest or engagement.​

  3. Cleanse Your List Regularly: Remove or re-engage inactive contacts to maintain a healthy database.​

Building Genuine Relationships

People prefer to do business with those they trust. Building genuine relationships fosters this trust and increases the likelihood of conversion. Leverage smart technology to personalize your communications, and tailor them to your specific lead information: 

  • Use the lead's name and reference past interactions.​

  • Ask about their preferences, needs, and concerns.​

  • Avoid overly scripted communications, and keep it natural and conversational.
