The Truth About Lead Generation Nobody Told You
When I launched my first consulting programme, I had what I thought was everything: a clean website, active social media, and tons of content out there.
But here was the problem: no one was reaching out.
It felt like I was speaking into a void.
Until I realised this:
Having an online presence is not the same as having a system.
In this blog, I’ll show you what lead generation really means and how to stop relying on luck (or algorithms) to attract clients.
What is Lead Generation?
Lead generation is the art of attracting people who are genuinely interested in what you offer and capturing their contact info to turn them into clients.
It’s like fishing but with the right bait, the right tools, and a process that filters the right fish (your ideal clients).
Here’s what you actually need:
A clear message that speaks directly to your dream clients
An irresistible offer that solves an urgent problem
A system that runs in the background while you do the real work
Understanding the Customer Journey (and Where People Drop Off)
Imagine your dream client finds you. What happens next?
This is what we call the customer journey and there are key points where they either lean in… or drop off:
Awareness: Do they know you exist?
Interest: Do they understand what you offer?
Trust: Do they believe you can help them?
Action: Do they have a reason to act now?
Most people have a presence content, a website, even testimonials… But they don’t have a system that walks clients step-by-step to the sale.
