How many leads will I get and how long does it take?

The question we hear from service-based businesses the most is, “How many leads will I get and how long will it take to get them?”

And trust us, we totally get it… we are also a business that is completely dependent on referrals and inbound leads. 

However, just giving you a time frame like “within 3 months, your wildest dreams will come true” is not only inaccurate, it’s setting you up for failure.

So, first, let me say this… if you’re talking to an internet marketing “ninja” on Twitter that is guaranteeing you leads within a specific time frame… run far, far away! 

Marketing is an investment. And just like any investment, there is inherent risk involved… however, the good news is that when you work with us here at Lemonade Stand, you’re not going to burn your money doing silly, useless tactics… as a baseline, we’re going to do things that have a long-lasting positive impact for your online presence for years to come. 

And the GREAT news? Well, the great news is that there’s huge potential for an incredible reward on the other side. One that provides you a lead funnel that works for you day and night with no added staff or overhead and that can become your biggest source of revenue over time.

So, while we can’t guarantee you a number of leads within a specific time frame, what we can guarantee is that our team will work harder than any other to build your online presence and give you the best shot possible to grow an incredible lead gen machine.

And this isn’t just a pipe dream… we’ve been able to replicate this inbound lead funnel for many, many businesses across many regions and many industries for many years now.

That’s a lot of “many”. 

So, I want to encourage you… the real question isn’t “When will I get leads?” 

Instead the question is, “How will I know it’s working?”

And for that answer, there’s one big thing to consider… not any one situation is the same.

The measurement of how well something is working depends on an infinite amount of factors. 

From the size of your company, to your brand and messaging, to your region and industry, to your competition, and even if you’ve already started doing internet marketing previously.

You see, internet marketing is like a snowball… and when you first push a snowball down the hill, it will start small and continue to grow as it moves down its path. 

But that start is relative… some of us start with a small snowball that is primed and ready to grow. And some businesses have a good sized snowball already and now need our help to pick up some speed and velocity. 

Others have no snowball at all and are growing from the ground up.

We’ve had businesses start with us and get inbound leads within literally hours of us turning on campaigns. 

And we’ve had some businesses that take 6 months to really see a meaningful impact. 

We’ve been able to help businesses of all sizes and situations, but the reality is that each business and situation is unique.

However, what we’ve found is that if just about ANY business sticks with it for 6 months to a year, there’s a high percentage that you’re going to grow a successful online presence that gives you leads.

We’re so confident in that, that we’ve built our business around it. 

We get hundreds of free, inbound leads every year here at Lemonade Stand using the same exact internet marketing strategies we employ for our clients. 

We’re passionate about doing good, transparent, and measurable internet marketing work for our clients and we hope you’ll give us a shot to do it for you, too. 

Let’s build a snowball together.

Well, I hope you’ve found this information helpful and encouraging.
