Key Takeaways

✦

Adopt a 'dating' mindset for social media leads; nurture them over time rather than expecting immediate conversions.

✦

Prioritize speed-to-lead by contacting Facebook ad leads within five minutes, or outsource this to an appointment setting service.

✦

Invest in quality ad content featuring the business owner, showcasing expertise and building trust to attract higher-quality prospects.

✦

Document your work process and use before-and-after project walkthroughs and client testimonials in your ads to provide social proof.

✦

Focus on key metrics like revenue from ads, marketing cost as a percentage of revenue (aim for 5-10%), a 30% appointment set rate from leads, and a link click-through rate above 1%.

✦

If ads aren't performing, analyze your sales funnel to pinpoint issues in lead generation, appointment setting, or closing rates.

✦

Commit to one marketing channel and give it a solid, consistent effort to see results, avoiding 'shiny object syndrome'.
