Lead generation sounds scary, but it’s little more than finding the customers that are a good fit for your product. Marketers and small business owners do this every day, often informally and without any sort of plan. Lead generation is the act of formalizing effective marketing tactics into campaigns that have the ability to scale.

When marketers start their first lead generation campaign, they often find that they are suddenly able to trace the revenue back to individual marketing efforts. Once you know where the bulk of your revenue comes from, you can make a repeatable and scalable marketing strategy to capitalize on that success.
