Lead Magnets that Convert

Stop Creating Freebies That Get Ignored!

Are Your Lead Magnets Attracting the Right Leads?

Most B2B service providers create lead magnets that sound great—but fail to attract real, qualified leads. Let’s fix that.

Picture this:

You’ve spent hours crafting a free eBook, yet no one’s downloading it. Or worse, those who do never convert into paying clients. Sound familiar?

That’s because most B2B lead magnets are too broad, too fluffy, or too generic to drive action.

Solution:

A high-performing lead magnet for B2B professionals needs to:
✅ Solve a specific pain point immediately
✅ Be actionable (not just informative)
✅ Qualify leads by attracting decision-makers

Instead of another “Ultimate Guide,” try:

🔹 For Executive Coaches & Leadership Consultants:
➡ "The 5 Hidden Leadership Blind Spots That Are Holding Back Your Team" (self-assessment + action steps)

🔹 For IT Consultants & Tech Service Providers:
➡ "The Cybersecurity Risk Calculator: Find Out If Your Business is Vulnerable in 2 Minutes" (interactive checklist + scoring system)

🔹 For Legal or Financial Consultants:
➡ "Contract Red Flags: The 7 Most Overlooked Clauses That Could Cost You Thousands" (audit tool for reviewing contracts)

🔹 For HR & Recruitment Consultants:

🔹 For Business Coaches & Consultants:
➡ "The Revenue Roadmap: How to Uncover Hidden Profits in Your Service Business" (audit-style worksheet)

Why does it work?

Unlike a generic eBook that gathers digital dust, these lead magnets:
📌 Tap into urgency (business owners want to fix problems immediately)
📌 Encourage engagement (interactive tools get used, not ignored)
📌 Filter out time-wasters (only serious prospects take action)

How to Act Now:

Creating a Lead Magnet That Works (in 5 Steps)

Step 1 - Identify your audience’s #1 frustration.

What mistake are they making? What problem keeps them up at night?

Think about the #1 mistake or frustration your ideal client is dealing with right now. What’s something they’re doing wrong, missing out on, or struggling to figure out?

💡 Example: If you’re a business coach, your audience might be underpricing their services.
