As markets change and clients hesitate, the significance of new-lead generation again takes centre stage.

In sectors dominated by uncertainty and paralysis, keeping-in-touch is no longer enough. As one partner put it, “some of the people we were taking to lunch last year no longer have the same jobs”.

So how do consultants open new doors? How do they generate a regular stream of warm leads - particularly in a climate where leads are scarce, and particularly when the clock is ticking?

“More Warm Leads” is an inspiring five-month programme put together by Top Consultant and Success 121, with the guarantee that if you implement the approaches you’ll learn in this course and you will be generating more client leads for your business in 90 days or less – or your money will be refunded in full.


Who is “More Warm Leads” designed for?

There are three distinct groups whose needs have been included in the design:

  • Partners and Commercial Directors who already have considerable experience in “rainmaking”, but who want to double-check their approach and ensure they are capitalising on every available lead-source. They will find particular relevance in the principles of “sustainable marketing”, and the techniques for leading others to play their part so that the whole firm is involved.


  • Mid-career managers and seniors for whom lead-generation is crucial for the next stage of their careers. They will find particular use for the behavioural shifts reinforced weekly during the course. These managers constitute the vital intermediate layer of professional firms: crucial for succession-planning, and many of them do not believe they receive adequate training in lead-generation.


  • Independents who wish to permanently eschew the risks of “feast / famine”, learn how to form effective strategic alliances, balance the needs of delivery / development and achieve an outstanding reputation.

    > pre-course material and exercise
    > a one day workshop in London on Mar 20th
