The 3 Pillars Your Business Must Stand On
I’ve been in this game since 2021, with zero background in sales or marketing. And over the years, I’ve seen a lot of people who seemed well-established disappear. The reasons vary—burnout, inconsistency, chasing trends—but the common thread?
They lacked a clear, systematised process to consistently execute on the three pillars every successful business is built upon:
Lead Generation
Marketing
Sales Process
Let’s break each of these down a little further—because every one of them can be approached from different angles depending on your business model, time, and skill level.
1. Lead Generation — Finding the Right People
What is it?
Lead Gen is the art of finding potential customers and directing them toward your world. It’s making sure your name is discoverable—on social platforms, in conversations, in groups—and creating clear, natural entry points into your funnel.
Why do we do it?
Because attention is the first step. No attention = no leads = no sales. You want people coming across your name, becoming curious, and clicking through to find out more.
How do you do it?
By creating visibility and opportunity. That means:
Someone sees your comment under a reel → they click your profile
You post a reel → someone follows you
You give value in a Facebook group → someone reacts → you send a request
Every interaction is a breadcrumb trail leading back to you.
Can it be automated?
Yes—through delegation. You can hire a virtual assistant (VA) to:
Engage in groups
Comment on posts
Manage friend requests and conversations
Doing it yourself costs time. Delegating it costs money. Most people start by doing it themselves—then as money comes in, they buy back their time by outsourcing the repetitive tasks.
2. Marketing — Nurturing Attention & Building Trust
What is it?
Marketing is what you do once someone’s paying attention. It’s how you build trust, show your values, and position yourself as the person who can solve their problem.
Why do we do it?
Because people don’t buy from strangers. They buy from people they know, like, and trust. Your marketing creates that connection.
How do you do it?
Through consistent, intentional content that builds familiarity and authority. The goal isn’t just to educate—it’s to connect.
Examples of marketing content:
Written – Facebook posts, Google Docs, email newsletters, eBooks
Lead Gen Videos – Reels, Shorts, TikToks
Lead Nurture Videos – Long-form YouTube, FB Lives, value videos inside your group
Your content should:
Educate and empower
Showcase your personality and beliefs
Pre-frame your offer as the solution
Make people feel like they know you
Can it be automated?
Partially. You can hire a copywriter to write in your tone of voice and create your content for you. A VA can then schedule it. This frees you up to focus on strategy, delivery, and high-leverage activities.
3. Sales Process — Turning Trust Into Transactions
What is it?
A sales process is a structured conversation that filters the right people in, presents your offer clearly, and leads them to a confident decision.
Why do we do it?
To avoid wasting time and to create predictable, repeatable income. You want to qualify leads, present clearly, and close effectively.
How do you do it?
Use this core structure:
Qualify – Ask questions about their current situation, challenges, and goals
Future-Pace – Help them visualise the result they want
Present – Offer a simple solution aligned to the outcome they just described
Close – Let them digest the offer, then walk them through everything they get and the total investment
Let them ask about the price. When they do, confidently share what’s included and state the investment.
You should always follow a general script, so you can:
Stay on track
Analyse what worked and what didn’t
Avoid talking in circles
Systemise your sales process for others to follow later
Can it be automated?
Not fully - but you can scale it by building a team. This often includes:
Setters – qualify leads and book calls
Closers – run the call and close the sale
Once your sales script works consistently, you can train others to follow it and scale without burning out.
Final Thought
Too many marketers chase money first and structure second. But if you build these three pillars properly, you won’t have to keep restarting, guessing, or burning out. You’ll have a business that works—because you’ve made it work.
