You may already know that Twitter is one of my favorite platform for generating high-quality, targeted leads for my business. But I always caution business owners that in order to generate leads, you have to go in with a plan. If you don’t, you are likely to spend tons of time on Twitter and have little to show for it.
Following are 9 simple strategies you can use to generate leads on Twitter.
These will help to ensure your connections are targeted, and will give you the best chance of moving your followers into your marketing funnel.
I would love to hear YOUR best Twitter lead-generation tips in the comments below!
1. Search for tweets that are requesting recommendations.
Searching for relevant hashtags and keywords will be one of the best ways you can find highly targeted tweets you can respond to. Using Twitter’s Advanced Search function, you can look for tweets containing industry keywords coupled with the word ‘recommendation’ or ‘looking for’. For instance, if you’re a web designer, you may want to search for ‘web design’ and ‘recommendation’ or ‘looking for web design’. If you are a local brick and mortar business, you will likely also want to specify a particular city, maybe even a zip code or a series of zip codes!
