• Chris shares a story of what happens with his past business that led them to go from not having enough calls to having too many calls with leads.
• Kenny explains why the way you’re probably thinking about leads right now is short-sighted.
• A common mistake people make with leads is putting away the “digging tools” as soon as things go well.
• Chris discusses something you can do, from an operational standpoint, to truly see what’s going on in your business.
• On a call, do you tend to give a long list of the services you provide? “Do things differently,” says Chris Crew. “List only what you don’t offer.”
• Chris and Kenny address the aspect of budget in relation to leads and marketing, and the reasons why businesses struggle with lead generation.

• Some business owners forget to track the effectiveness of what they’re already doing marketing-wise.
• Kenny takes back the curtain on one strategy that helped him dominate his market.
• Chris and Kenny go over why you shouldn’t put all of your eggs in one basket, as well as how to go about actually testing your efforts and strategies.
• When it comes to brand awareness, ensure that all of your marketing looks and feels like your brand.
• For Kenny, leads are like speaking languages – make sure that you’re speaking the right language to the right lead.
• Chris identifies the type of leads you shouldn’t buy first when using a lead aggregator.
• An important lesson to remember: it may feel boring at times but, as Kenny says, “When it comes to your brand, boring is brilliant!”
