In this episode, I’m talking about authentic lead generation, and why so many people hate lead gen in the first place.
If you’ve ever cringed at “hey girl” DMs, aggressive follow-ups, or being pitched before you even finish a conversation, you’re not wrong. Lead generation gets a bad reputation because it’s often taught without integrity or patience.
In this episode, I break down what authentic lead generation actually looks like:
- Why you shouldn’t pitch until you’re invited
- The difference between lead generation and sales
- How to build real relationships without being awkward or pushy
- Why slow, intentional nurturing leads to better clients and referrals
I also share how I think about leads as connections, not prospects... and how tracking those relationships helps me stay consistent without obsessing or forcing sales.
If you want to generate leads in a way that feels aligned, human, and sustainable (especially as a mom with limited capacity), this episode is for you.
