One of the most
important things for growing your sales (and the overall success of your
business) will be finding leads that work - after all, there is not a whole lot
that is worse than spending all day chasing leads to no avail - but finding
leads that work is not always easy. Of course, this seems like bad news on the
surface, but there is good news buried underneath: while finding leads that
work is not easy, it is possible to find leads that work as long as you keep a
few particulars in mind - and by keeping these particular in mind and making
leads work for you, you will be able to gain quite an edge on all your
competitors!
The first thing you need to realize is that not all lead generators and databases are created equally!

You should also realize that it is worth it spend a bit of extra money on leads that are more likely to yield results - but that leads are not automatically more valuable just because they cost more money!
You should also realize that leads you generate yourself are often the most valuable leads of all! Although you will probably not be able to capitalize off of sheer volume in the way you would be able to with purchased leads, you can be certain that the people you are contacting are interested in your business in a more specific manner than those you are contacting through leads you purchased. Set up your website and other "faces" of your business in such a way that you are always collecting leads of your own, and you will be able to turn these leads into a high volume of sales.
And finally, realize that the manner in which you approach leads will have as much to do with whether or not a lead "works" as anything else! If you feel that all the leads you chase end up as dead ends, there might be something you need to adjust in your approach. Learn how to turn your leads into sales, and you will find that a lot more of the leads you are chasing end up bringing you success!
