Four Lead Generation Lessons from The Beatles

They sold millions of records, they attracted billions of fans from all generations, without a doubt The Beatles is the most successful and most influential band that has ever walked the Earth. If you could analyze and reevaluate the reason why they are such a successful band, you can adopt it, and apply it on providing lead generation services; it will guarantee a huge accomplishment for your business.

First lesson and probably the most important thing that has mold The Beatles’ sound is their creativity. If you could capture your leads just like their songs could capture their listener’s ears, your campaign will be more persuasive. Make sure your lead generation services has something unique to it. People get tired of the same marketing techniques over and over again. But if you add creativity in your lead generation activity you would not have a hard time engaging your leads, in fact you won’t really have to convince your leads, sing them a good song and they’ll voluntarily listen.

Content and the structure of that content play a huge role in producing a good campaign. Just like how a Beatles song is composed of great lyrics, your campaign needs to have a sense to it. Outline what you can offer to your leads and rank them in ways that whichever offer they chose will end up not only to their benefits but also to your advantage. An example of a great lead generation activity is inbound calls. In this case you have the liberty to talk to possible leads and present information they want and information that you need.

However, no matter how tempting your offer is if the delivery is not enticing, a lead generation campaign may bound to fail. If you listen to a Beatles song, the lyrics are simple and direct to the point, very easy to understand and relate to, however if you listen to its melody, it has something special to it. It’s the kind that your ears would follow and not want to miss a single note. A song’s melody is how you present your content. And right delivery of the right contents requires skill. For example, in using inbound calls and telemarketing, you should make sure that they sound convincing. An offer is only good when it is offered in a good way.

Business lead generation is a lot like playing music; you need to build an audience, you need to keep that audience and you need to provide what your audience need. It is at most points a win-win situation for both businesses. Just like music, there must be a mutual connection, just like what the band has to their listeners.
