The first step to getting people to buy your product as a businessman is to place your product in front of them so they can see it.
Because they need to see it before they can develop an interest in it.

The process of getting them to see your products/services is called driving traffic.

There are two types of traffic:
Free traffic and paid traffic.
Facebook and Instagram are the cheapest way of driving paid traffic to your products/services.
The first step to get started with driving paid traffic on Facebook and Instagram is to verify your identity on Facebook.

After many people see your offer or products and services. Maybe 3% of those who see it will patronize you immediately.
What do you do with those who are interested but do not patronize you immediately?

Maybe they still have some questions or have not yet trusted you enough to path away with their hard-earned money. They still need to carry out some background investigations.

What do you do with those sets of people? Do you discard them?

And of course you know that is where the real money is.

97%.

But unfortunately, most businesses settle for the 3% only and discard the 97%.

Collecting those 97% is what we call collecting leads.

There are various ways of collecting leads. Though not all of them are free.

If you want to learn the best way to collect leads for optimal results.

I love Toyin Omotoso's books.
In one of his books he stated how to sell and not sell.

If all you are posting on your social media is come and buy come and buy.
Very soon you won't have any follower.

There are strategies to sell and you don't sound like you are selling.

When I say selling that includes your professional skills or products.

Various ways you can collect leads for your business are.

1. collecting email addresses through the use of Email Service providers like birdsend, Aweber, Getresponse, MailChimp etc.

Collecting email addresses of those who are interested in your products and services is very important.

a.It helps you to contact them.
b. It helps you to always be in front of your prospects. Out of sight is out of mind.
If they are not seeing you regularly, they will forget about you.
If later they have the same problem which your product or service can solve they are going to call the person they are seeing every time.

I have gotten so many sales through Whatsapp status.

Whatsapp status is a cool way of connecting with
Your audience without sending them messages directly.

As they are seeing your status immediately the memory of

How they got to know you is renewed.

That way if they need your products or services.

They can choose to call you or call your competitor.

That is why for any new prospect I meet I will ask him to save my number.

If he tells me he has saved my number I will save his own too.

From that moment relationship has started.

If I see his own status I could make comments on it.

With time we become friends.

if we become friends buying from me becomes very easy.

Does it make sense?
