How do I turn my consulting expertise into a repeatable lead-generation system?
Most consultants market in bursts between projects. A small system that runs every week smooths the pipeline.
- Leads come in waves.
- What's a lead-gen system?
- How much time does it take?
Build four pieces: a signature entry offer, such as a paid diagnostic; content that shows your thinking, published weekly; one main channel to reach buyers; and follow-up in a CRM. Block a few hours every week, even when busy. Track conversations, proposals and wins monthly, and adjust one piece at a time.
The system
| Part | Example |
|---|---|
| Entry offer | A fixed-fee diagnostic |
| Content | One useful post or article a week |
| Channel | LinkedIn, partners or outreach |
| Follow-up | CRM with reminders |
Weekly habits
- Publish one piece.
- Start five conversations.
