Lead generation is like physics.
Right when you think you get it, someone makes a new discovery that challenges your previous understanding — quantum physics, exit-intent pop ups, beauty quarks, sales funnels…
You get the point 😉

To identify who your dream customer is, let’s start with your niche.

90% of businesses fall into one of those three markets.
Now choose a submarket. There are an unlimited number of submarkets that exist within these three markets. For example, if you chose wealth as your market, then you might choose real estate as your submarket.
