Where Will Your Next 30 Clients Come From?
Unlocking Your Agency's Next 30 Clients: The Power of Data-Driven Insights
How can you be sure where your next 30 clients will come from? As a lead generation agency in the UK, we often have this conversation with clients. A good start is to ask;
"Where did your last 30 clients come from?"
If that question gives you pause, or if the answer is a vague "a bit of everything," you're missing out on a goldmine of strategic insights. For any company focused on sustainable growth, understanding the precise journey of your client acquisitions is paramount.
It's amazing how much useful information you can extract from meticulously tracking some simple data points for every single lead and subsequent sale. This isn't just about accountability; it's about building a robust, predictable client acquisition machine.
Here's a look at the critical data points we track (and recommend you track for your own agency's growth), and why they are so incredibly powerful:
Write These Down For Each Lead That You Get:
No specific technology is needed to measure these points. Find a way to automatically track these points, however that works for your systems in particular;
Lead Source: (e.g., networking, prospecting, word of mouth, SEO, upsell, paid ads, cold outreach) Why it's crucial: This tells you where your best prospects are originating.
Handover Point: (e.g., inbound call, face-to-face meeting, scheduled call, web form submission) Why it's crucial: Pinpoints when the lead officially entered your sales process and how they preferred initial engagement. This is more valuable than you think as it helps to highlight what your sales team are doing with their day.
Lost Reason: (e.g., Timing, Lack of Budget, No Need, Competitive Loss, Internal Decision) Why it's crucial: Provides invaluable feedback on why deals don't close, allowing for strategic adjustments.
Won Reason: (e.g., Competitive Advantage, Trust and Rapport, Value Proposition, Pricing, Speed of Service) Why it's crucial: Helps you double down on your strengths and replicate winning scenarios.
Sales Person: (e.g., Mo, Alex, Rowan - whoever managed the lead) Why it's crucial: Identifies individual strengths, areas for coaching and offers an objective method of comparing team members.
Create Date: Why it's crucial: When your sales team 1st get involved.
Closed Date: Why it's crucial: When you get a yes (or no).
Value Of Sale: Why it's crucial: Shows the revenue contribution of each client. You could measure MRR or LTV here.
