40%, we receive almost
twice as many calls from

the 6th page to the first in
a very short time. To say

They have done a
fantastic job!

Direct Mail $15,000
Social Media $5,000

20.
Wait! How do you know these sources?
1. Did you guess?
2. Did you estimate?
3. Did you ask your customers how they
came to you?
4. Did you track your leads aggressively?
If #4, you’re doing great…
marketing@surefiresocial.com

21.
What does it mean to track sources
aggressively?
➔Calls: Use call tracking numbers
➔Website: Track form fills
➔Web Leads: Track your links with UTM
Codes (custom code at the end of a URL that
shows you the source of where they came from)
◆ Directories
◆ Email
◆ Social Media
marketing@surefiresocial.com

22.
Website Leads
Is it easy for your team to understand where
a lead came from? (if not, change it).
marketing@surefiresocial.com

23.
Phone Calls
Use a different
phone number
for every
medium.
A call from a tracking number that is nowhere else can’t be
from anywhere else…100% tracking certainty.
marketing@surefiresocial.com

24.
Asking Customers How They Found You
➔Least reliable
➔Customers don’t care how they got to
you
➔They only want to be taken care of
➔You can ask, but don’t base your
marketing strategy on it
◆When they tell you something at odds
with your tracking, go with your
tracking as the source
marketing@surefiresocial.com

25.
Train Your Team
➔ Educate your team who comes into
contact with potential customers via the
phone to know your media schedule
◆ Receptionist
◆ Sales Rep
◆ Answering Service
➔Document incoming
lead sources!

marketing@surefiresocial.com

31.
Next, understand these things about next
year’s media potentials
• Could I have maximized my best lead
sources?
• Do I have more to spend this year?
• Are there things on my list that could
be cut? (there’s no risk when you cut
non-performing media)
marketing@surefiresocial.com

32.
Build next year’s budget from the bottom up
marketing@surefiresocial.com

33.
First - Collect your building blocks
➔Buy as many of the things that work as you
can.
➔More frequency?
➔More geography?
➔More relevancy?
➔Stop when it doesn’t make sense any
more
➔Try new channels
marketing@surefiresocial.com

34.
Rinse, Repeat
• Do this exercise annually and monthly-
your business offerings are seasonal, and
demand is different in December than it is
in June…spend accordingly.
• Spend on what works.
• If you build it this way, you’ll have the best
ROI
