How to convert your leads into clients with Leadguru

Proven Tips for Effective Communication

Leadguru is a powerful tool for discovering potential leads, but turning those leads into clients depends heavily on your ability to communicate effectively. Your approach to dialogue with potential customers can make or break your success. Here are some key techniques used by sales professionals that can help you convert more leads into clients.

1. Use a Casual, Friendly Tone

Unlike traditional cold emails, where long-form, formal messages are often ignored, Leadguru encourages a more casual and friendly approach, much like communicating with friends on social networks. Keep your messages short and direct. The goal is not to overwhelm the lead with information but to create an open, easygoing conversation.

• Tip: The first message should aim to spark interest, not close the sale. Avoid dumping too much information upfront. Instead, ask engaging questions.

2. Research Your Lead Before Initiating Contact

Before starting a conversation with a lead, gather as much information as possible about the person and their company. Understanding whether they are a decision-maker, recruiter, or another employee will help you tailor your message appropriately. This research will also guide you in starting a conversation with relevant questions.

Useful platforms for research include LinkedIn and the company’s website, where you can find insights into the company’s hiring process, current projects, and key decision-makers.

3. Personalize Your Approach

If the lead is a developer looking for team members, build rapport by first engaging with them and then asking for a referral to the decision-maker. Mentioning an internal employee makes the contact warmer, improving your chances of building trust with the decision-maker.

If the lead is an HR professional or recruiter, understand that they may not be the right person to close an outsourcing deal, but they can provide valuable information. For example, if the recruiter is working for a third-party company, they may direct you to someone more relevant within their client base.

4. Use Strategic Follow-Up Techniques

After your initial conversation, be prepared to follow up, but keep it brief. If the lead doesn’t respond on LinkedIn, try email—often decision-makers are more likely to respond to an email if you keep it concise.

When you reach out, try starting with something casual:

– “Hi [Name], how are you? I saw your post about looking for a developer. I’m from [Your Company]. Would you be interested in [your service]?”

Keep the conversation light, and avoid pushing too hard.

5. Tailor Your Message to the Lead’s Needs

Always closely examine the details of the lead’s vacancy post. If the post lacks a link, company name, or remote work requirements, use these missing details as a reason to start a conversation. Tailor your message to the specific needs of the lead and their company.

For example, if a job listing specifies that they are looking for remote developers, emphasize how your company specializes in that area.

6. Pay Attention to Location and Company Size

Not all leads are worth pursuing. Some markets have developer rates so low that engaging with them might not be profitable. Also, if the lead is from a massive corporation like Google, they may not need your services. Be mindful of whether pursuing certain companies will be worth your time.

7. Nurture Leads for Future Opportunities

Sometimes, a lead might not be ready to buy immediately or may need services you don’t currently offer. Don’t see this as a dead-end—use it as an opportunity to nurture a long-term relationship. Adding decision-makers to your network can lead to future opportunities.
