Generating high-quality leads is essential for your agency’s growth, but it can also be resource-intensive and time-consuming. You need to implement the right strategies to attract prospects who are more likely to convert into loyal clients. 

However, what if there was a way to get those high-quality leads without exhausting your internal resources? 

Back when we first started in this agency world, it was mostly postcards and networking events…

Then things moved online…

And we changed our techniques…

Let’s explore some proven strategies and introduce you to a more efficient solution.

 

Leverage Content Marketing

Content marketing is a powerful tool for attracting prospects, but it requires a consistent effort to produce valuable, targeted content. Your agency needs to create blog posts, eBooks, webinars, and case studies that address your target audience’s pain points.

All of the that takes time, resources, manpower, and know how.

Think about the cost associated with having a person create content that doesn’t feel like it’s driven by AI?

Your average content marketer is going to require $X,XXX per month…  They need to be an expert, to some degree. And now they need to know how to produce video content, edit video, and all of the other things that social media and content marketing entail!

Imagine that job description:

  • Write Blog Posts: Craft well-researched and engaging blog posts that resonate with the target audience, drive traffic, and support SEO efforts.
  • Write Social Media Posts: Develop compelling and shareable social media content across platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, tailored to each platform’s audience and format.
  • Write White Papers: Produce in-depth, authoritative white papers that demonstrate thought leadership and provide value to potential clients and industry peers.
  • Create Video Content: Plan, script, and produce high-quality video content, including explainer videos, customer testimonials, product demos, and educational webinars.
  • Edit Video Content: Edit raw video footage into polished final products using video editing software, ensuring alignment with brand guidelines and messaging.
  • Create eBooks and Guides: Develop comprehensive eBooks and guides that offer in-depth insights, best practices, and actionable advice on industry-specific topics.
  • Develop Infographics: Create visually appealing infographics that simplify complex information and enhance the storytelling aspect of content.
  • SEO Optimization: Apply SEO best practices in content creation to enhance visibility and ranking on search engines.
  • Content Repurposing: Repurpose existing content into different formats (e.g., turning a blog post into a video or a webinar into an eBook) to maximize reach and engagement.
  • Content Management Systems: Manage and maintain content within CMS platforms (e.g., WordPress), ensuring content is up-to-date and properly categorized for easy navigation and searchability.

What if you could bypass this lengthy process and still get top-tier leads? That’s where our partner program comes in. Done For You (DFY) provides you with pre-qualified leads, so you don’t have to build content from scratch or wait for results.

 

Utilize LinkedIn for B2B Lead Generation

LinkedIn is a goldmine for generating leads for your agency—if you know how to leverage its full potential. Here’s how I use it to drive real results:

  1. LinkedIn Advertising

LinkedIn Ads are a powerful tool for reaching a highly targeted audience. With options like Sponsored Content, Sponsored InMail, and Text Ads, I can tailor campaigns to specific industries, job titles, and even company sizes. By focusing on the decision-makers who need our services, I ensure our ads land in front of the right people at the right time.

  1. LinkedIn Messages

One of the most direct ways to generate leads is through LinkedIn messaging. I use personalized, thoughtful messages to reach out to potential clients. Instead of a hard sell, I focus on building relationships and offering value—like sharing a relevant article or case study. This approach helps establish trust and opens the door to further conversations.

  1. LinkedIn Groups

LinkedIn Groups are an underrated resource. By joining and participating in groups relevant to my industry or target market, I can engage with potential clients in a more casual setting. Sharing insights, answering questions, and even starting discussions allows me to showcase expertise and position my agency as a go-to resource.

  1. Posting Regularly

Consistent posting is key to staying top-of-mind with your network. I share a mix of content, from blog posts and case studies to industry news and thought leadership articles. The goal is to provide value and keep my audience engaged. Over time, this consistent presence builds credibility and attracts inbound leads.

  1. Becoming a LinkedIn Influencer

Positioning yourself as a thought leader on LinkedIn can significantly boost lead generation. I share my expertise through long-form posts, articles, and even video content. By consistently providing valuable insights, I’ve been able to grow my following, increase engagement, and attract leads who are already primed to work with us.

LinkedIn is more than just a professional networking site; it’s a versatile tool for lead generation. Whether it’s through targeted ads, personalized messages, active group participation, regular posting, or establishing yourself as a LinkedIn influencer, there are countless ways to use the platform to grow your agency. The key is to be strategic, consistent, and always focused on adding value.

Instead of dedicating a team to cold outreach, consider a more streamlined approach with DFY’s lead program. Our system delivers leads that are already interested in services like yours, freeing you up to focus on closing deals rather than chasing prospects.

 

Implement an Email Marketing Campaign

Email marketing is a classic lead generation strategy, but it involves careful segmentation, content creation, and regular follow-ups to be effective.

It’s the thing that has helped us bridge the gap for almost 10 years of being in business.  No matter what happened in the economy, we had a way of falling back because we had an email list.

As an agency, here are a few things to keep in mind with email marketing campaigns:

  1. Segment Your Audience for Personalized Messaging

One of the most effective ways to generate leads is by sending personalized content that resonates with your audience. Start by segmenting your email list based on factors like industry, company size, or where they are in the buyer’s journey. Tailor your messaging to address the specific pain points and needs of each segment. Personalized emails have higher open rates and engagement, making them more likely to convert recipients into leads.

We use a lot of surveys to get this level of customization.

  1. Craft Compelling and Clear Calls-to-Action (CTAs)

Your email content should naturally lead to a clear and compelling call-to-action. Whether you’re asking recipients to download a free resource, book a consultation, or sign up for a webinar, the CTA should be easy to find and understand. 

Make sure it’s relevant to the email’s content and offers something of value to the reader. A strong, well-placed CTA can significantly increase the chances of turning a reader into a lead…  And every email needs a CTA in it!

  1. Use Automated Follow-Up Sequences

Leads rarely convert on the first touchpoint, so it’s essential to have an automated follow-up sequence in place. Set up a series of emails that nurture leads by providing additional value, such as educational content, case studies, or special offers. 

Automated follow-ups keep your agency top-of-mind and gradually build trust, making it more likely that the lead will eventually convert. The key is to strike the right balance between being persistent and providing value without overwhelming the recipient.

 

Optimize Your Website for Lead Capture

  1. Exit-Intent Popups

Exit-intent popups are a powerful tool to capture potential leads just as they’re about to leave your website. These pop-ups can offer a compelling reason to stay engaged, such as a discount on services, a free eBook, or a consultation. 

By detecting when a visitor is about to exit, you can present an irresistible offer that encourages them to provide their contact information before they go.

  1. Webinar Signups

Hosting webinars on topics relevant to your target audience is a great way to generate leads. Promote the webinar prominently on your website with a clear and enticing signup form. Webinars allow you to showcase your expertise, provide valuable insights, and engage directly with potential clients. The signup process collects valuable lead information, which can be used for follow-up marketing and nurturing.

  1. Lead Magnet Signup

A lead magnet is a valuable resource you offer in exchange for a visitor’s contact information. This could be a free eBook, white paper, checklist, or industry report. By featuring a lead magnet signup form on your website, you encourage visitors to provide their email address in exchange for the resource. Make sure the lead magnet is highly relevant to your target audience’s needs, though!

With DFY’s partner program, you don’t have to worry about constantly tweaking your site to generate leads. We deliver high-quality leads directly to you, allowing your team to focus on closing rather than capturing.

 

Invest in Paid Advertising

Investing in your own advertising is always a good move as an agency – starting with your warmest traffic and moving to the least warm…

  1. Retargeting Ads (warm traffic)

Retargeting ads allow you to re-engage visitors who have previously interacted with your website but didn’t convert. By placing a tracking pixel on your site, you can serve targeted ads to these visitors as they browse other websites or social media platforms. Retargeting is highly effective because it targets warm leads who are already familiar with your brand, increasing the chances of conversion.

  1. Meta (Facebook and Instagram) Ads

Meta ads, which include both Facebook and Instagram, offer robust targeting options to reach specific audiences based on demographics, interests, and behaviors. Agencies can create visually appealing ads, including carousel ads, video ads, and stories, to engage potential clients where they spend time. Meta ads are versatile and can be used for brand awareness, lead generation, or driving traffic to your website.

  1. Google Ads

Google Ads allows agencies to target potential clients actively searching for services like theirs. By bidding on relevant keywords, your agency’s ads can appear at the top of search engine results pages (SERPs), driving highly targeted traffic to your website. Google Ads also offer display and video ad options, allowing you to reach audiences across the Google Display Network and YouTube.

  1. Podcast Ads

Investing in podcast ads is a great way to reach a niche, engaged audience. Many people listen to podcasts during their commute or downtime, making them a captive audience. Agencies can sponsor episodes, have a host read, or produce their own podcast content to position themselves as thought leaders in their industry. This method is particularly effective for reaching decision-makers and professionals in specific sectors.

  1. LinkedIn Ads

LinkedIn Ads are ideal for B2B agencies looking to connect with professionals and decision-makers. LinkedIn’s targeting capabilities allow you to reach users based on their job title, industry, company size, and more. You can use Sponsored Content, InMail, and Text Ads to promote your agency’s services, drive traffic to your site, or generate leads directly through LinkedIn’s lead gen forms.

  1. YouTube Ads

YouTube Ads allow you to tap into the massive audience that consumes video content daily. You can create skippable ads, non-skippable ads, or bumper ads to promote your agency’s services. YouTube’s targeting options let you reach specific demographics, and interests, and even retarget viewers who have engaged with your content before. Video ads are a powerful way to showcase your agency’s expertise and creativity.

Instead of pouring money into ads, though, partner with DFY. It’s highly likely that you’ll spend well into 4 and 5 figures before you start getting a lead process down…

We provide cost-effective lead generation that doesn’t require you to constantly adjust your strategies or spend on expensive ad campaigns.
