When you think in terms of lead generation, is your thinking stuck in neutral?

Most businesses think of expensive advertising to create new leads- this is a first or second gear strategy at best.

And then some businesses forget about approaching lead generation from an external view point, and start to realize their internal resources - their current clients - are the most valuable lead generators they could possibly have. Your clients give you testimonials, and they give you referrals- these are fifth gear strategies, and are fantastic return on investment ideas.

Then there's the sixth gear strategy, joint ventures. Joint ventures, or business alliances, are very similar to our fifth gear strategies involving your own clients... but this time you're using the clients of a related business. What's the difference, you ask? Leverage. How many times can you market to your own list of clients? How many times can you get referrals out of them? Only a limited number of times before they get sick of you... but there's always other joint venture partners who you can approach to market your services through.
