Generating Leads for retail sales

by CollinP
5 replies
I've tried craigslist, kijiji, classified ads, backpage. The only one that got me substantial leads was CL. That is untill they started ghosting everything I did. I need ideas. I sell retail custom rims and tires and need some new avenues to generate multiples of adds throughout the country as I have a lot of competition.

    1. Start your own affiliate program -- have other people work for you. Try getting listed with sites like prosperent.com

    2. You do have an e-commerce store, right? If not, make one, immediately. Do relentless A/B testing to find out what converts the best. If you call Google and ask for $100 of AdWords credit, you'll get it. Use that to promote specific, high-converting products.

    3. Try listing on Amazon. Your margins will be lower, but your exposure will be higher. It sounds like exposure is your main issue.

    4. Continuously do SEO on your site. Make sure all your on-page factors are at 100%, build backlinks, start a blog/forum for the broader domain your product is targeting.

    5. Why isn't your site in your signature?

    Hope this helps!

    Contact prospects professionally and often.(once in 2-3 month will be good)
