How To Bring New Leads into your business using inbound marketing

Written by Samantha Alford | @ samalfordtweets


You've probably heard how paramount your sales pipeline (or sales funnel) is to having a successful business. To fill your sales pipeline, you need to generate new leads.  Without them, you have no new customers, no new income and you'll have limited growth potential.  Need I say more?

So why does almost every business owner I speak with say they have no idea about how to systematically fill their funnel with new leads?  Maybe because, unless you're one of the few people who like structure and process, creating new content to attract the right type of target customer and employing processes to systematically move them along their buying journey, while methodically and consistently following up with them actually kind of sucks!
