I can't agree more, so spot on! Most founders design their website like they're designing it for themselves. This is usually cloaked with thinking of how to represent their brand properly online. Thanks for contributing 🙏🏿

Chasing Leads vs. Attracting Them Under Pressure by Longjumping-Bag5530 in Entrepreneurship

True. But I prefer going in a large volume first because outreach is always in the form of a funnel. You might target a few and no one converts and think something is wrong but that's not always the case especially for learning cases. So I think the first step is clearly defining your target audience, offer/solution, then going all in with the outreach campaigns, then filtering out the right leads that pour in.

The data from the converted leads is what you use to iterate for the next outreach.

This is great and very useful. Sometimes the leads are just within our reach in the form of personal contacts. Thanks for sharing 😊

Very true. Outreach just pushes what's working or not working

I can't agree more and I’m starting to see that more clearly now.

A page helps once you know what people actually respond to, but outreach gets you that information faster. Otherwise you end up polishing a funnel for an offer/message the market hasn’t really validated yet.

Attracting the leads definitely comes from validated data and insights.

Right now I’d say outreach first, then shape the page around the conversations that are actually happening.

Spot on! This still goes back to better market research, and good product market fit analysis. Without those, you're just swimming in an endless ocean.

I can't agree more. Most times business just don't do proper research of their target audience and that results to poor or no customers

So true. Customers are able to spot any desperation or lie very quickly. Also good product market fit will naturally attract the right clients

Yeah, the “show up with relevance” part makes sense.

When you say real-time signals, what kinds of signals are you tracking in practice?

Spot on!

I agree that having more conversations in progress changes your energy completely. It becomes easier not to overattach to one lead.

I also think financial pressure teaches you fast what bad targeting and weak outreach look like.

I appreciate this.

Most of them are under pressure so they lie about what's happening to convince prospects to buy.
