Let’s be real: lead generation isn’t magic. But it does require showing up, doing the work, and having a clear plan. If I had to generate 10 high-quality, marketing-qualified leads for your business in the next 30 days — here’s exactly how I’d do it.

No fluff. No guesswork. Just practical, action-driven tactics that I’ve seen work repeatedly. Whether you’re a business owner, startup founder, or marketing leader, these are the moves that separate those who talk from those who close.

Key Takeaways

Start with referrals and outbound — the fastest, warmest leads.
Build a rock-solid offer and conversion-optimized assets.
Show up every single day with value.
Use paid ads after you’ve proven organic traction.
Follow up relentlessly — leads die when you quit too soon.

Start with a Strong Foundation

Before I even think about lead generation, I make sure your business has a base offer — and more importantly, that you look reputable and active.

That means:

A crystal-clear offer that solves a real pain point.
Current, consistent social posts — showing you’re present and engaged.
Recent marketing activity: blog posts, case studies, client testimonials.
A website that’s up-to-date and conversion-ready.

When someone checks you out (and they will), they need to instantly feel:

“This company is legit, they know what they’re doing, and they’re active.”

If you don’t have that foundation, all the lead-gen tactics in the world won’t convert.

10 Lead Generation Strategies I’d Use Next Month

1. Start with Outbound — Hit Low-Hanging Fruit First

First move? I’d start by talking to your current customers. You’ve already earned their trust. Reach out personally, ask: “Who else do you know who needs this?” Referrals convert faster, they come pre-qualified, and they’re pure gold.

Then, I’d go hard on outbound:

Personalized cold emails
Thoughtful LinkedIn DMs
Trade shows (if applicable to your industry)
Cold calls (yes, they still work when done with intention)
Local networking events and business meetups

Outbound is where momentum starts. Be so active that people can’t not notice you. Outbound fuels inbound.

2. Dial in Your Landing Page

Your landing page needs to convert — period. That means clear messaging, a strong headline, a simple CTA, and no distractions. I’d use heatmaps and tools like Hotjar to ensure visitors are focused on the right action. No slow load times. No complicated forms. Just clarity and simplicity.

3. Create a Lead Magnet That Solves a Real Problem

Forget generic “free PDFs.” People are overloaded with weak freebies. I’d create a lead magnet that makes someone say, “I need this right now.” A checklist, toolkit, or 3-step blueprint that solves a pain point today.

Remember what Seth Godin said:

“People do not buy goods and services. They buy relations, stories, and magic.”

Your lead magnet should feel like magic — useful, trust-building, and aligned with your story.

4. Post on LinkedIn — Every Day

LinkedIn is where decision-makers live. I’d post every single day for the next 30 days.

Day 1-5: Share stories about client wins or lessons learned
Day 6-10: Answer FAQs and bust myths in your industry
Day 11-20: Share behind-the-scenes processes
Day 21-30: Repeat what resonates and double down

This visibility builds authority fast. Consistency wins.

5. Run Paid Ads — But Only After Testing Organic

Too many people burn cash on ads without proven messaging. I’d take the best-performing organic content and turn that into paid ads. Focus on retargeting visitors who hit your site but didn’t convert. Smart spend, smart targeting, maximum ROI.

6. Email Marketing with Personality

Forget boring newsletters. I’d send emails that sound like me — personal, conversational, and packed with value. Short stories, quick insights, clear CTAs. Your inbox is crowded; the only way to stand out is by being real.

7. Host a 15-Minute Micro Webinar

Long webinars are dead. I’d host a quick, 15-minute live session on a specific topic. Teach something actionable, answer 2-3 questions live, and offer an easy CTA. This builds trust and positions you as the go-to expert fast.

8. Send Personal Video DMs

You know what people don’t ignore? A short video DM. I’d record 30-second messages: “Hey, I saw you were interested in [topic]. Wanted to personally reach out and see if I can help.” It’s human, authentic, and stands out like crazy.

9. Collaborate with Micro-Influencers

No need to chase big-name influencers. I’d partner with micro-influencers who have tight-knit, highly engaged audiences in your niche. It’s cheaper, faster, and converts better because their followers trust them.

10. Repurpose Content Like Crazy

I’d take one piece of content and turn it into:

3 social posts
1 newsletter
2 video clips
1 LinkedIn article
5 short tweets

Content isn’t one-and-done. It’s a tree with branches that feed your entire lead gen ecosystem.

Bonus: Follow Up Relentlessly

Most leads don’t convert on the first attempt. I’d follow up at least five times across different channels. People are busy; persistence (without being annoying) shows you care and that you’re serious.

The Mindset You Need to Make This Happen

Tactics are easy. Showing up consistently — that’s where the magic happens. You’ve got to be relentless. Consistency > perfection.

One of my favorite Gary Vee quotes says it best:

“Ideas are sh*t. Execution is the game.”

Every tactic I’ve shared is useless without daily, messy, imperfect action. Show up. Post even if it’s not polished. Follow up even if you feel pushy. Call even if you’re nervous.

Marketing-qualified leads don’t appear because you wish for them; they show up because you put in the work every single day.
