Understanding Prospects:
A prospect is a potential client who could benefit from what you sell.
Example:
If you sell shoes, a prospect is someone with feet.
The clearer your target audience, the better your results.
Targeting Niches:
It’s beneficial to focus on specific niches rather than a broad audience.
Examples:
Video editing for local businesses, restaurants, chiropractors, lawyers, architects, etc.
Turning Prospects into Leads:
The goal is to convert prospects into leads, who are potential clients showing interest.
Lead Definition:
A lead is a good fit and receptive to what you're selling.
Example:
If someone expresses interest in getting more clients through video marketing, they are a lead.

Lukewarm/Cold Lead:
Interested but not ready to buy right away.
Leads may require nurturing over time before they are ready to buy.
Sales Cycle Variability:
The time frame for converting leads to clients can vary.
Some decisions may take months depending on the service and the client's needs.
Prospecting Steps:

This lesson emphasizes the importance of clear targeting, understanding the prospecting process, and the consistent effort required to convert prospects into paying clients.
