Your Questions About Business Lead Generation Services

Ruth asks…

How big a part is social media marketing for your business or the company you work for?

What is it primarily used for…lead/sales generation though offer and promos, customer service/interaction, raising brand awareness/credibility, all of these or something different?

admin answers:

Incredibly important. This is how I network; how I get to know other professionals, perspective clients and how I get updated on the latest developments in marketing.

One thing Social Media is used for is for people to get to know you and your business without them having to buy something from you first. They can see whether you are legitimate and professional. This works the other way around too, since you can also use it to learn your customers; what they like, what they need, what questions do they have.
Then it works wonders for offers and promos. Due to the fact that your followers can also share the offer with their friends, a really good offer will spread like wildfire. Social media is used, of course, to raise brand awareness just by posting interesting articles, information and contests.
One more thing quite interesting, is to see how to use social media to do customer research, through surveys and polls.

John asks…

What is the law regarding business referrals?

I currently supply company employees in need of qualifications as leads to training providers who are my clients. I recently had a company in need of getting 60 of their staff qualifications (this is considered a huge lead as we charge £75 per individual). However been a specialist occupational area we notified the employer that rather than having us give the wrong information, we would ask the training provider to assist them with some answers. The provider then returned to us notifying us the lead was interested. Now the lead wants to proceed the training provider is refusing to pay for the leads as they are now arguing they carried out all the work, even after I have argued the term ‘lead generation‘, means the supply of an individual or organisation who requires services.

My question behind all this is who’s right? Had it not been for us the company would probably have never me the employer in need of the qualifications. Yet introducing the business to explain the qualifications in more details seems to have made them think they’ve done everything.

I have a contract in place, and email correspondence of the provider notifying me, that since speaking to them about the qualification they haven’t done anything else with the lead and therefore they’d like us to chase them up, now that we did, they’re rejecting payment.

Does anyone know of any legalities surrounding this topic?

admin answers:

If you have a contract stating that they pay for referals AND you can prove that you made the initial referal then you have a case.

Invoice them and when they refuse to pay take them to court.

Next time do all the ground work yourself. (Alternatively you could find another provider to do it cheaper and refer them to this new company) – Double whammy!

William asks…

Rate: how my transcript is shaping up.. also some other things…?

Hey guys! I’m just a junior in high school in new york city, but I’m looking at universities already. So lets cut to the chase.

I want to go into Business as well as Journalism

My cumulative, weighted average is currently at a 90.3. My grades keep going up every single year. I just got my report card that covers 1st/2nd quarter and mid term grades. Best I’ve ever done at the half way mark.

I’m a minority, first generation hispanic student.

I’m in the honors classes. One of which includes Latin 3. Next year as a senior I’ll be taking AP english.

I’m ranked in the top 10% of the graduating class. But I’m holding on to that honor by a thread. I’m ranked 17th, and if I dropped to 18th, that puts me top 11% xD. hopefully I can hold onto that until it’s time to apply to university.

SATS? Not so great. But I’ve only taken it once.. got a 1510.

Extra curriculars.. I’ve done some pretty sweet stuff.

- Wrote for school newspaper in all 3 years, and I’m editor in chief now as a junior

- This is my first year in mock trial, and I am playing the lead witness for the defense, next year I’ll be a lawyer (it’s reserved for seniors >_<)

- Currently I am attending a highly selective inner city job program.. where I do training for interviews/resumes/etc. Hopefully I do land a job, that'll help my transcript a lot. Though being in this program is quite the honor.

- Probably the thing that stands out most… I attended an 8 day youth leadership conference in Rochester University before this junior year. It's highly competitive. Rochester also gives all students I think a 1000 dollar scholarship automatically, so I can say "hey, look what I got from a major university :]." National Hispanic is also associated with over a hundred major universities such as NYU, Boston, Duke, etc. A major connection.

- Over the summer before senior year I'll also be attending another National Hispanic program, called the Collegiate World Series. This is NYU, and again NYU sponsors some of the money. Here I'll be doing interviews and working on skills with real admission reps from major universities. As well as competing with other students. This can be a good chance to make some connections, and also the program looks great on my transcript.

- Last.. I did community service from 9-11:30am every Saturday in freshman and sophmore years as an aide at my church for bible classes. This year as a junior, and also as a senior (I'll be doing the same) Saturday volunteer is dropped in favor of helping out as an asisstant, youth leader, and part time teacher when needed on tuesdays and wednesdays for high school confirmation classes.

Well that covers it guys. Based on my grades, SAT, activities, how am I shaping up? As it stands, my number 1 school right now is Northeastern. I've been looking at it for months and really love it. As well as Boston University.. and boston college, way too far of a reach? Also I really do need scholarship money.. so hopefully wherever I go I am offered something.

Based on what I want to do and my current profile, can you recommend some universities? I'm in new york and don't want to go any lower than say, North Carolina, don't wanna go far west past Chicago. I want a good, name brand school that I can look into.

Thanks!
