Episode 62 – What Are Lead Stages, and Why Do They Matter?

  • Resumen

  • In Episode 62 of Call The Damn Leads, host Drewbie Wilson breaks down the five essential lead stages every sales pro must master to keep their pipeline full and their commissions flowing. If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels, unsure who to call or when to follow up, this episode is for you. By organizing your leads into clear stages—new, hot, warm, cold, and current customers—you’ll streamline your sales process, increase conversions, and close more deals faster. Whether you’re just starting in sales or looking to fine-tune your CRM strategy, Drewbie’s no-BS approach to lead management and follow-up will change the way you sell forever. About the Episode: Drewbie dives deep into lead stages—what they are, why they matter, and how to stop letting opportunities slip through the cracks. He shares: ✅ The five key lead stages and how to categorize your prospects correctly ✅ How to nurture leads at every stage for higher conversions ✅ The biggest mistakes salespeople make when managing leads ✅ A simple follow-up strategy that guarantees more closed deals If you’re serious about making more money in sales, this episode is a must-listen. Key Takeaways 1. New Leads: Speed Wins Deals A lead is any contact point—name, phone number, email, or social media profile. The first 30 days are crucial for engagement. The faster you call, text, or DM, the higher your chances of closing. Your goal? Verify their info, gauge interest, and qualify. 2. Hot Leads: The Money is on the Line You’ve built rapport, identified a need, and made an offer—but they haven’t pulled the trigger yet. They’re stuck on one of three main objections: Money – They need to find the budget. Time – They need to figure out when to start. Decision – They’re waiting on a spouse, boss, or partner. Daily follow-up is key—don't assume they’ll wait for you! 3. Warm Leads: Play the Long Game These leads aren’t ready yet, but they will be someday. Your job? Educate, entertain, and nurture. Implement a 90- to 180-day follow-up sequence to stay top of mind. If you let them go cold, someone else will swoop in and close them when the time is right. 4. Cold Leads: There’s Gold in the Old Some prospects ghost you, stall, or disappear—but that doesn’t mean they’re dead. Re-engagement campaigns and periodic check-ins can bring them back to life. Set aside one hour per week to call cold leads—there’s always money hiding in the old list. 5. Current Customers: Your Easiest Sales Your best leads are the people who’ve already paid you. Upsells, cross-sells, and referrals can double or triple your revenue. Implement a system for checking in regularly and offering additional solutions. A simple call to past clients can unlock thousands in new business.
