Business
In this very special episode, Nick is joined by Matt Clark, founder of The Virtual Edge, and the architect of the ground-breaking “Rainmaker” system, for a masterclass discussion on generating leads using the power of LinkedIn, and the strategies you need to consider in order to scale your business. KEY TAKEAWAYS Context and positioning are key. The mistake that people make is that they lack focus. By accurately targeting your ideal customer, your hit rate will increase. Connection messages should always lay out your intentions clearly. Tell new connections the reason for your interest, and be honest about what you can offer. We should always value our time above all things. Never undersell yourself, and remember that your time is worth something. Conversion is driven mainly by the product-fit itself and the process involved. Leads are easy to obtain, but connections and conversions are entirely different. It is here where the value is found. BEST MOMENTS ‘LinkedIn is a platform that you must master’ ‘I got on there and I realised that I could virtually knock doors’ ‘We have a super-secret formula. It’s called “Ask them what they want and then give it to them”' ‘I’m a major believer in “process”' ‘Connections are not leads' VALUABLE RESOURCES Scale Up Your Business – scaleup.vip/podcast Join the free Scale Up Your Business community: scaleup.vip/community Generate 20 New Leads in 20 Days - download your free 5-step guide to put in place my top-performing customer creation strategies: scaleup.vip/20leads Matt Clark LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattclarksa/?originalSubdomain=za The Virtual Edge - https://thevirtualedge.com/about-us/ ABOUT THE HOST My name is Nick Bradley.
