10 ways lead generation is changing in 2026, part 3. And when you understand this and you get this right, it makes selling so much easier. This is literally the thing that is going to separate agents that are working super hard, overpaying for leads, and having to triple dial from those that are having prospects sit down in the seat that are actually ready to work with them and already trust them. And that is Front-loading trust and education from the very beginning. What I mean by that is having messaging out there that attracts leads that are truly interested in working with you. The more that a prospect is educated and has consumed content that you have put out there, the more that they are likely to trust you. And that is why it is imperative in this trust recession world that we live in, 2 things. One, we need to have some sort of paid ad strategy. Even if you're only spending $5 a day, we need to have something that is out there in front of the right people, getting them to convert so that way you have their contact information, you can email them, and you can reach out to them. And number 2, it is creating social media content that sets you up as an expert that they can trust. Now, I like to say I work primarily with licensed professionals, so insurance agents, Medicare, life, IUL, financial planning, estate planning attorneys, and so on. In these industries, your goal is not to go viral. It is to become undeniable. It is to become such an undeniable expert whenever someone lands on your page that they see that you have comprehension, you're an expert, you know what you're talking about. They see that you have a good character, that you're someone that they would actually work with, and they know that you are caring, that you truly care about them and you want their best interest.
