AVOID THE REVENUE ROLLERCOASTER TRAP WITH CONSISTENT LEAD GENERATION
| |
| By Mike Schultz and John Doerr
Many consulting, professional, and technology service businesses find themselves trapped in the following vicious, no-growth cycle. The firm is either:
Heavily marketing because they don't have enough leads and new business, or
Heavily billing and delivering, and thus have no time for marketing, lead generation, and selling.
We call this the service revenue rollercoaster. It's a common trap for many professional service companies because when they get busy they can't sustain their marketing momentum...they're too busy with client work. Then, when the client work slows down, they must start marketing from square-one all over again, as all momentum from previous marketing efforts has stalled.

Third Generation Leadership In Context
| |
| To “Generation Y” rigid reporting structures and narrow sources of information are a foreign concept. Their whole life has been lived in a world of personal computers, mobile phones, the internet, social networking, and the like. They have learned that by using the internet and the search engine of their choice they can find out almost anything about anyone at any time – and some of what they find out will even be accurate! Generation Y has an expectation that information will be readily available and that they will be involved in determining the accuracy and utility of such information. Their expectancy is that they will be engaged with what they do and with those they are doing it with. This creates a problem for traditional leadership approaches |

Design a Lead Generation Scorecard
| |
| “Lead Generation refers to the creation or generation of prospective consumer interest or inquiry into a business’ products or services. Often lead generation is associated with marketing activities, such as cold-calling, targeted at generating new sales opportunities for a company’s sales force.
Therefore a “lead” is correctly described as information regarding, or provided by, a consumer that may be interested in making a purchase. “Generation” is one of a myriad of activities that produces contact information and/or interest.”

The Battle for Talent is Heating Up, Are You Ready?
| |
| This is an interesting time in the history of business - workplace dynamics are in the midst of a huge shift. Baby Boomers in their 60’s are running into the challenges of managing the very different needs of those in the Y generation. In fact, so much focus has been placed on these two sizeable generations colliding in the marketplace, that the generation in between them, Generation X, has been largely forgotten. |
