Marketing friends - Your prospects just made a shortlist of vendors… and your company is NOT on it. Why? Because your lead generation efforts may have been anywhere from decent to great, but your demand generation strategy was way off. And no...Lead gen is NOT the same as Demand gen. Your story missed the mark. The message was more about you than them. Your content fell flat. It was too salesy and not valuable enough. Instead of focusing on educating, you overloaded them with case studies, demos, and claims of market leadership. You waited for vendors and platforms to create demand rather than identifying and capturing it. Your revenue goals are always looming, but your demand gen efforts are inconsistent – more like a flickering light than a steady engine. Your competitor was there... every step of the way, playing the long game. You were not. Yes, this a tough pill to swallow. Having run every kind of lead gen & demand gen program and worked with teams from SMBs to enterprises for over 15 years, I’ve seen a few key differences between marketing teams that win and those that struggle: time, patience, and consistency. Consistency being the most important. Funny enough... the same can be said about sales. Lead generation is about quickly grabbing leads, usually by collecting contact info for follow-ups. It's more transactional. Demand generation is more of a long game—building awareness, educating people, and getting them interested, without pushing for leads right away. Roughly 95% of your prospects are going to be exploring solutions like yours in the next year. They're either going to put you or your competitors on their shortlist. What you do today will greatly determine where you will stand. #leadgeneration #demandgeneration #abmmarketing

𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗼𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 Today, I’m going to help you create a value proposition that turns your website visitors into paying clients. If you’re not getting the leads or sales you want, chances are, your value proposition isn’t hitting the mark. Let’s start by getting on the same page: 1. Who exactly are you helping? 2. What is the problem they need solved? 3. What’s the outcome they’re hoping for? 4. How do you deliver that outcome in a way that’s different from everyone else? 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲: “My target clients are busy consultants who need more high-ticket clients but aren’t getting results from their current marketing efforts. They need a clear, straightforward sales funnel that brings in qualified leads, consistently.” Now, let’s break down how to build a winning value proposition with these 4 essential components: 𝟭. 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗲 What pain point does your audience experience or search for a solution? ↳ e.g. Consultants need more high-value clients, but their marketing is falling flat. 𝟮. 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 What result can they expect when they work with you? ↳ e.g. A predictable, automated lead generation system that brings in qualified leads every month. 𝟯. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲 What makes your solution different and better than the competition? ↳ e.g. “Unlike other services, we don’t just create a funnel we create customized strategies based on your exact business needs and target audience.” 𝟰. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 Avoid jargon or broad statements. Keep it clear and to the point. ↳ e.g. “We help consultants book 5-10 high-ticket clients per month with a tailored lead-gen system.” Want to see how it all comes together? P.S. I’ve created 5 value proposition examples for different industries to help you get started Comment to get more details! 👇 #Sales #LeadGeneration #Marketing #BusinessGrowth #amanaroraseo
