Finding inspiration isn’t always easy. Sometimes it can seem as though inspiration is in short supply and on those occasions, most of us would do anything for the push that we need to get through the latest challenge that life has thrown our way.

A little while back, we shared a post on some of the lead generation statistics that will open your eyes and blow your mind. The goal of that post was to open your eyes to the true potential of lead generation strategies and we trust that by now, you’ve already dipped your toe into the water and seen some of that evidence for yourself.

This post is for the people who’ve done that and are wondering what happens next. We want to give you a shot of inspiration so you can get back to work and to continue bringing in those leads that you can turn into customers. Here are just 12 of our favourite quotes about lead generation.
