The Definitive Guide to Lead Generation

ASK THE EXPERTS: SOCIAL MEDIA AND LEAD GEN ROUNDTABLE
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL
FOR LEAD GENERATION?
“Social media platforms
are becoming more
sophisticated in terms of
giving marketers
opportunities to strategically attract
leads. It’s no longer all about attracting
fans and followers—the appeal of social
media marketing is gravitating more
toward turning those fans and followers
into warm leads. These leads are
genuinely interested in hearing from you.
– Amy Porterfield
Social Media Strategist
“Now that Twitter has
introduced Lead
Generation Cards,
which allow advertisers
to collect leads directly from paid ads, I
think we will see more of this type of
lead generation across the various
social networks—especially as those
networks become more reliant on
advertisers who are seeking to
generate leads.”
– Michael Stelzner
CEO and Founder, Social Media Examiner
“More and more
companies are investing
in their brand’s social
presence, and at the
same time, social platforms are
investing in features that help drive lead
generation. If you’re not using social
media for your lead generation efforts,
you’re missing out on a great
opportunity. We’ve seen great ROI from
adding a social component to almost
everything we do—whether it’s a simple
social share button or a fun contest.”
