The Pot of Gold for your business to generate more revenue
Building a list of Prospects - Here are a few tips to get you started
1) Build a list of all your dormant clients - Why have they stopped buying from you?
2) Unsold prospects - Clients you have engaged with in the past but did not buy from you, could it be they have forgotten about you or did not have an immediate need for your products or services at that time, who knows they might need your products or services now.
3) Lost customers - Who bought from you previously or which opportunities were lost.
4) Customers you are currently servicing & active clients - Can you up sell them or introduce new products or services.
5) Referrals - There are tons of missed opportunities due to not following through on referrals or forgetting that you met someone who gave you a referral, there is a lost diary somewhere that you have jotted down a few referrals received, get that list going and engage.
6) Look outward and see what lists you can build from your social media networks and who in that network can network for you.
7) Build lists from all your Linkedin contacts according to your target markets.
