Creating sales leads is essential for any organization looking to boost revenue. Many prosperous businesses rely on expanding their clientele to expand their operations. Making sure that businesses obtain a consistent flow of sales leads is a crucial step in achieving this goal. You can use this business to generate leads for your clients’ companies.
Who Is It Recommended for?
Sourcing sales leads is recommended for people who have some experience with sales and lead generation (although just about anyone can learn how to do this!)
How much can you earn?
It depends a lot on the quality of the leads and the number; for example, you can make around $30-$50 for 100 names and emails.
Start-up costs
You will a need a tool like Snov.io to easily find names and email address for pretty much any website/company (so under $40/a month for 1,000 names)
Businesses needs leads in order to keep growing and scaling.
However, generating leads is a very time-consuming process with no guaranteed results. But here comes the easy way: they pay a freelancer to find leads for them and pay for a set number of leads. Its a very small investment on their part but if even a few high-ticket sales results from it (for example, a high-end consulting session or another expensive service) that small investment can bring in an impressive ROI (i.e. return on investment) for that client.
And in our experience, if you can deliver a really high-quality list to your client and they see positive results, they are almost certainly going to hire you for more projects.
After all, if it costs a business $100, for example, to get a list of 300 names and emails and they make one sale from it worth $1,000, then they have made a $900 profit (or even more in the long run, if the customer buys more in the future).
So its a very low-risk, high-reward investment for a lot of businesses.
Plus, its not a complicated job either and you dont have to be a sales expert to get started; here are some tips to help if you choose this option:
- Learn about the client first: what is their business? What do they sell? Who is their target audience? You need to know this so that you know where to look for potential leads, and what the ideal lead looks like
- Use a tool like Snov.io to gather all the information quickly; you will need to provide names and emails addresses, company name, job title and in some cases, phone numbers – with Snov.io, you can get most of this information in a fraction of the time it would take you to manually research each company (it would simply be too time-consuming to be worth it)
