Getting Leads from Facebook Groups

Join groups where your ideal customers already gather. For coaches: groups about the problem you solve, not groups of other coaches. Look for active groups (multiple posts daily), good moderation (no spam), and members who match your target demographic. Quality over quantity - 5 engaged groups beat 50 dead ones.

Watch for buying signals: people asking questions your service answers, complaining about problems you solve, or requesting recommendations in your category. Also engage with active members who consistently post quality content - they often become clients or referral sources.

Lead with value, not pitches. Answer questions thoroughly without mentioning your services. Share genuine insights. Congratulate wins. Ask thoughtful follow-up questions. Build reputation over weeks before any business talk. When you consistently help, people naturally check your profile and reach out.

When someone engages positively multiple times, or when a conversation would benefit from privacy. Natural transitions: "Great question - mind if I send you a resource that goes deeper on this?" or "I had a similar situation - happy to share what worked if you want to DM." Never cold pitch in comments.

When viewing a Facebook Group, MyFBleads shows capture icons next to member names in posts and comments. Click to capture anyone who engages. Add a tag for the group name so you remember the source. Add notes about their specific question or interest for personalized follow-up later.

Reference your group interaction specifically. Example: "Hey [Name], loved your comment in [Group] about [topic]. You raised a point I think about a lot - [add value or ask question]." Never pitch immediately. Start a genuine conversation that could naturally lead to exploring if you can help.

Focus on 3-5 groups where you can be consistently active. Showing up daily in a few groups beats occasional presence in many. Track which groups generate actual conversations and leads using tags in MyFBleads. Double down on what works; leave groups that do not produce.

Only if you will commit to consistent engagement. An active group you own is powerful for lead generation - you set the rules and have direct access to members. But a dead group hurts credibility. Start by mastering engagement in others groups before building your own.

Always read and respect group rules. Most prohibit direct promotion, link dropping, and cold pitching. Some have promo days or threads - use those appropriately. Getting banned from a valuable group for rule violations wastes all the relationship-building you did.

Use tags in MyFBleads for each group (e.g., "Source: Coaching Group XYZ"). Filter by tag to see how many leads came from each group. Compare against closed deals to find your highest-converting groups. This data tells you where to focus your engagement time.
