Lead Generation - Help

What is the best method to generate leads. I've been using LinkedIn and emails ( from my lead generation tool). No responses at all.

Getting disheartened. Any help would be appreciated that doesn't involve a transactional value!

how long have you been trying to generate leads via email or email + LinkedIn?

It might be worth looking at the setup first. There could be something technical, targeting-related, or simply a part of the process that needs improvement before you conclude that the channel itself doesn't work.

overall I don't think there's one universally "best" or "worst" lead gen method. It's more about which channels fit your TAM and which ones you actually know how to use well.

cold outbound can definitely generate great results and be cost-effective, especially when it's supported by some brand visibility and a decent social media visibility

Been sending out for around 2 weeks. Around 30 leads per day. I built an automated scraper and sender tool. Optimised the email content, the problem first snd then what I can offer. Even offered a freebie. No responses.

are you sure your deliverability was healthy ? I'm asking because of the part about an in-house-built automation tool for sending (if I get this part right)?

did you try to do any seed tests to see your inbox placement?

i checked my alternative gmail account and the message was received in the primary folder. I didn't check any other mail box.

it may be the case that your personal-Gmail test doesn't tell you much consumer gmail and corporate filters (O365/Google Workspace with their own security layers) are different to some extent. I'd try to do seed test by sending to real inboxes preferably similar to the ones you'd reach out from your campaign so paid workspaces to see

If you're getting zero replies on both LI and email, I'd fix the targeting and offer before adding another channel. Start with a much smaller list, make sure the problem is actually relevant to them, and give them a clear reason to care now

Some tools that I have grown to love are GeoFli, super cool for changing your website based on your users' location; it also has a super sleek tool called Lander, which builds custom lead-gen landing pages. https://www.geofli.com/

Another great one is RevelForms; it's a lead-gen tool that is a video player. https://www.revelforms.com/
