Do I use AI for lead generation?

I've had this "assumed" a few times recently and I'm not particularly surprised. AI is being adopted into so many uses it's understandable that it would also creep into leadgen.

I started offering focused leadgen services around 4-5 years ago because I was fed up of receiving this "done badly" - I still am - and I'm sure you also are too.

I've crafted a method that retains the human element. Yes a degree of automation can assist with the heavy lifting but it still has to have your tone, your personality and authenticity. And when I recently injected a bit of humour into it, my success rate increased even more.

💎 40-50% on average conversion rate (new connections)
💎 Additional calls booked (because I'm trying to help)
💎 One client had 2 hot leads on their first campaign day
💎 Another client - 2 leads requesting meetings within a couple of days
💎 Fascinating conversations with interesting people that start building relationships

It isn't hard to be human - and no this doesn't use AI.
Have fun with it rather than seeing leadgen as a chore (that's a whole other energetic conversation) - we need more fun in business.

And if you want to outsource the search, campaign set up and get a proven messaging framework (it just works), just DM the word LEADS.

💡 Cash vs Investments - What's the difference?

Both have an important role in your , but they serve different purposes.

💰 Cash
✔ Easy access to your money
✔ Lower risk
✔ Ideal for emergency funds and short-term goals

📈 Investments
✔ Potential for higher long-term growth
✔ Opportunity to outpace inflation
✔ Better suited to goals 5+ years away

Cash helps protect your finances today, while can help build your for the future. The right balance depends on your goals, timescales and attitude to risk.

Not sure if your current approach is right for you?
