With over a billion users spread across all the major social networks, it would be ridiculous for any legitimate brand NOT to use them for
lead generation!
• 77% of B2C marketers say they have acquired a customer through Facebook
• The number of marketers who say Facebook is “critical” or “important” has increased 83% in just two years
• 34% of marketers have generated leads using Twitter, 20% have closed deals
• LinkedIn is 277% more effective at generating B2B leads than Facebook or Twitter
• 77% of buyers say they are more likely to buy from a company whose CEO uses social media.
Providing quality, relevant, engaging content on a regular basis allows you to build relationships as you interact, inform, and influence your customers and potential customers.
This interaction builds trust and the perception of your brand as ‘the expert in the room’ without bombarding your audience with sales messages, driving visitors directly to your website when they click on an article that’s caught their attention.

Facebook is the most powerful and has been proven to provide the most engagement with audiences. Put your content right in the face of your audience and never waste money on non-targeted ad campaigns again!
Using Twitter for lead generation starts with one thing – building a targeted audience of followers. Twitter is about connecting with your audience, not just endlessly promoting yourself. Entertain, educate, and engage before you sell.

LinkedIn For Lead Generation
LinkedIn addresses many of the common challenges associated with lead generation:
• Who are the right companies to approach and who is the right person to speak to?
• When is the best time to make contact / when are they ready?
• What are they interested in?
Target the right person, at the right time!
