Choosing the Best Strategy

Mistakes to Avoid
Lead generation doesn’t have to be complicated; it needs to be effective. Melisa highlights some common mistakes consultants make, like always trying to do the smartest thing or jumping into advanced strategies before mastering the basics. Sticking only to what feels most comfortable can limit growth, and not understanding what’s “enough” can lead to burnout.

Melisa shares real-life examples that illustrate how consultants have successfully built sustainable lead generation systems. She provides guiding questions to help you determine the most efficient and effective strategies for your business.
