Choose a template from the list and post it directly in your community. Make the question visible and encourage everyone to reply with just one word. Optionally, invite members to explain their choice for deeper engagement. Rotate the prompts throughout the week to keep things fresh and reach different segments of your audience. Highlight or pin especially popular threads to maximize participation.
Since this format works on all platforms, focus on timing and visibility. Use eye-catching visuals or emojis to make your prompt stand out. Tag or mention active members occasionally to kickstart the conversation. On platforms with threads or comments, reply to early answers to build momentum. Always follow up with a summary or highlight reel to show appreciation and maintain interest.
Focus your prompts on industry-specific terms related to the lead qualification process, such as 'MQL', 'BANT', 'ICP', or 'Prospect'. This encourages members to share their favorite qualification frameworks or criteria, sparking valuable discussions around best practices for identifying high-quality leads.
Absolutely! Design prompts around key nurturing concepts like 'Drip', 'Follow-up', or 'Touchpoint', and ask members to respond with the one tactic that has improved their lead nurturing results. This not only promotes peer sharing but also helps the community uncover which strategies resonate most in the lead gen space.
You can use prompts such as 'CRM', 'Pipeline', or 'Automation', and challenge members to reply with the one CRM feature or tool that has been a game-changer for their lead management process. This steers the conversation towards sharing industry-relevant tech stacks and workflows.
By prompting with words like 'Outbound', 'Inbound', 'Referrals', or 'Cold', you’ll invite members to share which sourcing channel gives them the most trouble or success. The simplicity of the response format can reveal trends in channel effectiveness and common obstacles, valuable for collective problem-solving.
Use prompts such as 'Score', 'Fit', or 'Intent' and ask members to share the most important lead scoring factor in one word. This can lead to debates about which metrics are prioritized in different industries or sales cycles, generating rich, targeted engagement.
Frame prompts around terms like 'CTA', 'Landing', or 'Form', and instruct members to reply with the single tweak that most improved their conversion rates. This approach turns each post into a micro-brainstorming session that’s highly relevant to optimizing lead gen funnels.
