2020 will be one year that world will remember forever. It disrupted world in both negative and positive ways. In modern selling things like lead generation have seen distinct new patterns. New channels and activities have shown themselves to be more rewarding.
One of the things that became amply clear at this time is – if you want to build a brand for yourself or your business, digital platforms are fundamental. In modern selling, they play a critical role in strong and consistent lead generation.
To many of the small business owners and professionals, this is going to be a paradigm shift. Most of the founders face a common challenge in their sales process – Struggling to generate brand awareness and hence struggling to generate quality business leads
One of the social platforms that have taken a giant leap in helping business owners and professionals create a strong brand is LinkedIn.
Most of us use LinkedIn to be on top of the latest news and trends in the professional world. However, simple advice from a known founder of a marketing agency changed this on its head for us.
Here it is: “Stop being a consumer. Start being a creator.”
Initially it is hard to understand why this advice is so valuable. What does he really want to tell us?
So the NeedleMover team started reading more and following a lot of interesting people on Linkedin. We tried to find patterns. We tried to understand what those “interesting” people were writing about. A lot of things were not following a common pattern.
However when we thought more about what we saw on LinkedIn, one thing started staring at us.
Each one of these interesting people were doing one common thing!
Note – We didn’t always find their content interesting or insightful. But they were creating something every single day and sharing it.
Adi Suja, Aviral Bhatnagar, Asim Qureshi, Justin Welsh … there are hundreds of them.
