Steady flow of new leads

You will soon run out of work if your organization does not acquire new leads on a daily or weekly basis. The most critical component of every firm is getting additional work.

Fill your ‘business pipeline’ by sending highly targeted Expressions of Interest (E.O.I’s).

The business world is becoming increasingly competitive. The internet has been advantageous, but competition is fierce. To ‘keep your pipeline full,’ always express your interest in other companies.

It is critical to make a good first impression

An Expression of Interest (E.O.I.) is used to gauge a client’s or organization’s interest in working with them. It is a request for you to express your willingness to supply goods or services to another company. (B2B).

It is frequently the first impression of your company, and we all know how important first impressions are. They are the deciding factor.

An expression of interest typically informs capacity to deliver services or goods and is frequently the first stage of entering into a contract negotiation. You have a lot on your plate, and one of the most important aspects of running a business is ensuring that you have enough work not only to pay your employees’ salaries, but also to make a profit.

You must ensure that you have enough work for the coming months, and one way to do so is to send ‘Expressions of Interest’ to potential clients or customers on a regular basis.
However, sending out expressions of interest without careful consideration is a waste of time and effort.

If you want your business to succeed, you must always make the right impression from the start. How do you go about doing this?

With a well-crafted expression of interest.

You only have a few seconds

Have you ever received a letter in the mail only to glance at it, read the top line or sentence and then throw it away?

On the other hand….

Have you ever received a letter or flyer in the mail and read it, and then phoned the company to query about their service or product?

Why did you make that decision to make the query? What was the difference?

There are a couple of interesting things happening in this situation.

The 2 differences were likely:

1. Timing

You were actually looking for that product or service and the timing was perfect.

2. Caught your Eye

You were attracted by the words or images on the flyer or letter and were ‘drawn in’ to read and learn more.

These 2 things are important because they have turned ‘cold leads’ into ‘warm leads’.

You need to do the same thing with your business to win more work.

You can achieve this by sending out expressions of interest to potential clients and customers.

However, there are several very important things you must do when producing an expression of interest. These things are the difference to it being a success or a failure.

The following strategies are important if you are serious about your business and winning more work.

---

Strategy 1 – Think about your reader first

Your reader has their own concerns and desires. You need to address these in detail if you want them to take action.

This comes down to what you say.

This is very important, so you must think carefully when you draft your expression of interest so you ‘trigger’ them to take the desired action you want them to take.

This is easier than it sounds.

Simply put yourself in their shoes and think about what they would want to read. Most people are concerned about their own situation and are looking for results.

Ever heard of ‘W.I.F.M’?
This stands for – What’s In It For Me?

This is what your customer is thinking. So you must write so it is clear the customer’s needs come first, not your desire to sell something.

---

Strategy 2 – Be clear and to the point

Waffling on is going to get you no-where. You must be very clear and state the facts. Use simple language that is straight to the point.

Most people are busy and it is important that you realize that you have limited time to make an impact in their daily life.

In fact, the first lines of your letter are critical if you want your reader to keep reading right through to the end.

---

Strategy 3 – Accuracy is critical

Your spelling and grammar must be 100%. Have you checked your document or letter? If I was reviewing a document and it had spelling mistakes in it – I would instantly reject it.

Spelling is important and there is no excuse for making spelling mistakes due to the amount of technology you have when it comes to checking your spelling. Your document needs to be professional and correct spelling is the first step in ensuring it is professional.

---

Strategy 4 – Your Target Audience

Do you know who they are? Have you thought about their age? Are they educated? What salary bracket are they in?

These things all make a difference about how you draft your letter or expression of interest.

It doesn’t matter if you are applying for a job as an employee or writing a tender for a multi million dollar project. You must consider your audience or fail miserably.

---

Strategy 5 – Follow up

Following up your expression of interest is professional and a critical component of success.

If you don’t follow up your letter – then you are missing the opportunity to make further contact. It is important that you follow up after you have sent your Expression of Interest.

You should follow up within 2 or 3 days – to make yourself known and communicate to the person direct. This is not only professional but shows that you have the confidence and ability to be enthusiastic and proactive.

If the person does not respond well, or they have no need for your services or it simply isn’t a good time for them to purchase your products – then this does not matter.

Don’t not follow up because you are scared or intimidated by making that phone call. The follow up phone call is important.

You need to find out if your contact is;

• not interested whatsoever;
• possibly interested;
• very interested.

You will never know if you don’t follow up.
