They are consistent in their marketing, their sales, the content they create, how often they post on social media and even in their morning routines. So, if you want to get results from your marketing, logically, you need to be consistent. By results, I’m not talking about more followers, more reach, more awareness or more leads. Sure, that stuff is important, but when I talk about results, I’m talking about converting more customers into sales. One of the most common reasons marketing campaigns in small to medium sized businesses fail is because there’s no consistency. A business owner hears the great success stories that others have had by gaining more followers on Twitter, generating more leads on Facebook and increasing sales through content marketing.. And what happens? They think “Oh wow, this sounds great! Let me try that.” They dabble in it for a bit, then stop. Then they wonder “Why didn’t this marketing strategy work for me? Maybe it just doesn’t work for my type of business….” Well, when you dabble in your marketing, you’re right! It won’t work. Not because that marketing channel isn’t suited to your business, but usually because you didn’t maintain it for long enough. The businesses that produce the best results (in terms of generating both leads AND sales) are those that are consistent in their marketing. They’ve regularly been sending clear, consistent messages to potential clients. Not just for weeks or months, but for years. WHAT ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS TO BE CONSISTENT IN? Now, obviously, you don’t want to waste time on marketing that’s not going to produce results. That’s why we recommend that you always having a defined strategy before you do any type of on-going marketing. You want to focus your attention on being consistent in the areas of your business that will produce the best results. For example, if you’re consistently going to networking events to meet new people and generate leads – that’s great. But is it really the best thing you could be doing for your business? Are there other areas you could focus on and get better results? In my experience, as someone who used to do a lot of networking, the answer is yes. Regardless of what business you’re in, there are some essential areas you have to be consistent in. 1 - Be consistent in lead generation 2 - Be consistent in getting sales appointments 3 - Be consistent in winning clients You need to have a system in your business that generates leads, appointments and clients on a regular basis. If you need help generating leads for your business, then social media is a great first step in that direction. With billions of people using social media every day, chances are very high that your potential customers are using at least one of the many available channels. It’s just a matter of finding them and reaching out to them with the right message. HOW TO ENSURE YOU STAY CONSISTENT WITH YOUR MARKETING Let’s be honest. Even when you have the best intention to focus on your marketing, sometimes other stuff gets in the way. You make a commitment to be consistent but then you get bombarded with client work, or life throws you another roadblock. What you have to remember though is that your sales and marketing will help your business survive and thrive! So, you must make it an absolute priority. One of the ways successful business owners have managed to be consistent is by giving themselves a challenge. Why not do the same? Give yourself a 30-day challenge to do something related to lead generation and lead conversion. The second (and more powerful way) to stay consistent is by telling other people about your challenge. So, start developing a system to be consistent in your lead generation and lead conversion and very soon you too will start to reap the rewards and results of your hard work.
