Day 3 of 30 · Build Your Sales – 30 Days to More Deals

Today you'll learn how to generate leads across multiple channels. The key: don't rely on one channel – diversify!


Daily Goal

  • Understand the 5 main lead generation channels
  • Set daily targets for each channel
  • Create a lead source tracking table
  • Select 2-3 priority channels for your business

Why it matters

  • One channel = risk. If you only rely on LinkedIn and it stops working, you have no leads.
  • Diversification: Multiple channels = stable lead flow, even if one channel slows down.
  • Cost efficiency: Some channels are free or low-cost.
  • Scalability: If a channel works well, you can increase its volume.

Explanation

The 5 main lead generation channels

Channel What it means Example Cost
1. Cold Outreach Direct contact with unknown customers LinkedIn message, cold email, phone call Low
2. CRM/Referral Existing contacts and referrals Customer referral, partner network, reactivating old leads Very Low
3. Email Marketing (eDM) Email campaigns and newsletters Newsletter, product demo, case study send Low
4. Distributors/Partners Partner network and resellers Partner referral, reseller network, integrations Medium
5. Inbound/Content Website, SEO, content marketing Website form, blog, whitepaper download Medium-High

How to split lead generation?

Good example – Diversified mix:

  • 40% Cold Outreach (LinkedIn, email)
  • 20% CRM/Referral (existing contacts)
  • 20% Email Marketing (newsletters)
  • 15% Partners (distributors)
  • 5% Inbound (website, SEO)

Bad example – One channel:

  • 100% LinkedIn
  • 0% other channels

Why it's bad: If LinkedIn stops working or changes, you have no leads.


Practice 1 – Lead source tracking table (20 min)

Create a table that tracks where leads come from:

Channel Daily Target Actual Conversion
Cold Outreach 8 0 0%
CRM/Referral 4 0 0%
Email Marketing 4 0 0%
Partners 3 0 0%
Inbound 1 0 0%
Total 20 0 0%

Practice 2 – Select priority channels (15 min)

  1. Write down the 3 most important channels for your business
  2. Set daily targets for all three
  3. Write down how you'll start each channel (concrete steps)

Key Takeaways

  • Diversification = stability. Don't rely on one channel.
  • Measure every channel. You need to know which works and which doesn't.
  • Start with 2-3 channels. Don't try everything at once.
  • Scale what works. If a channel works well, increase its volume.
