Growing Sales Through Creating Connections

Filed under: makemoney1.1_200 — admin @ 5:07 am

Your mission as a business owner is to develop a marketing strategy which offers your potential clients/customers a way to improve their situation in a certain way, solve a problem, provide more value, or open new opportunities for them which will motivate them to pick up the phone and buy from you. This requires that the focus of your marketing plan be placed on your customer - NOT ON YOU! Taken from The 90 Day Marketing Marathon Blunders from A to Z these ten powerful tools will support you in creating meaningful connections with your clients/customers and providing real time solutions to their challenges of the today.

1. Custom Assessments.

By using a tool such as Assessment Generator you can build custom assessments which will allow the visitors to your website the opportunity to engage with you while providing value which is memorable. With Assessment Generator you as the business owner will receive the basic results of the survey to see if clients are where they want to be in their lives or their businesses.

2. Online Survey Tools.

A well-designed online survey can greatly empower business, academic, and charitable organizations by finding out quickly what is on the minds of your current and prospective customers/clients. Creating an online survey can be extremely simple and convenient with a free survey tool such as Advanced Survey or Zoomerang. By designing a survey and sending this to your database, you can poll targeted groups quickly and in detail while obtaining real time results.

3. “Feedback” Hot Links.

As you update your website, author articles, or launch new products and services, add a “feedback hot link” to your site or to your e-mail signature. This link can state “Send me feedback” or “Send me your comments” and will automatically link to an e-mail which can be used for your website visitors to provide you with insight into what is working and what is not with your products and services. The key is to make communicating with you as easy as possible.

4. Weblogs With Comments.

A weblog is a simple yet compelling online environment, which will allow you to put your thoughts, ideas, and experiences on the web via a journal, photo album, or diary. With a tool such as Typepad you can provide your clients and customers with access to your online journal AND allow them the ability to comment to your posts. If you are blogging around a topic which creates discussion or a topic which can generate ideas for your new products and services, you will find that blogging with a tool which allows for comments will take your products and services to a more advanced and sophisticated level quickly and with the support of your customers/clients.

5. Client Scenarios That Create an Emotional Tug.

What are the typical challenges of your clients, what do they complain about to others, and what do they really want in life? Do they say things such as:

Buying Turkish Real Estate - Why Buy in Antalya

Filed under: realestate3_200 — admin @ 1:14 am

There are many benefits to buying Turkish property at this time but where is your money best invested? Are you looking to own a holiday home for quick breaks away or are you looking to generate some rental income by renting to other tourists?

Bodrum

Bodrum is easily one of the most westernised cities in Turkey. It has a mix of cultures and due to it’s position in the west of the country the architectural styles weigh heavily toward Greek white washed walls and old stone town houses. Visitors to any Mediterranean coasts in Spain, France or Italy will feel as though they know this style and quite at home. Therefore the buying market in the west of the country is heavily weighted towards British buyers, in recent years the numbers have swelled to nearly 7000 permanent residents looking for Mediterranean style at a reasonable price. Prices are good and apartments can be found for as little as

One Powerful Reason Why You Need a List

Filed under: makemoney1.1_200 — admin @ 2:16 am

You really need to begin building a list. Not tomorrow or next year, but now. It is the single most important action you can take for yourself and your internet income.

Without a list of responsive, interested people, you will always be scrambling for traffic for your online business.

Whether it is pay per click, which you must pay for, or viral marketing that you must develop products for, or articles you must write, there is always something you need to do in order to attain traffic. You are, in a sense, not in control.

Let me give you an illustration. You construct a new website, with a theme which you are knowledgeable about. So, now you have your website up. But where is the traffic?

Either from a pay per click campaign, or buying advertising from newsletters could be used. And which are certainly effective. However, this will obviously cost you money.

Now, let us imagine you have a fairly large list of ten thousand subscribers, with an interest in a similar area as the brand new website.

All you now need to do is send this list an email informing them of this new website, and instant free traffic for you! Once you have the list, it is really this easy.

Even if only five percent from this list opened their email and clicked the link you supplied within it, this is five hundred free, immediate visitors to your website.

This is what I personally call Directional Email Traffic. And this works for a new website or for any website you want to get traffic. It is the most valuable that exists.

Obviously, the closer to the specific zone of interest your list has with website in question, the more likely they are to not only visit, but click links on the website pages and buy whatever products are being sold, whether your own or as an affiliate. And also because these people know you and trust you. So if you ask them to do something, chances are many of them will.

Can you see how powerful this is? Instead of having to buy the traffic, it is free. This is what makes a targeted, responsive list so powerful.

Remember, you need to start building this list immediately. Otherwise you will have to pay for more traffic, both with money and your time, than you really should.

If you do not have a list building program in place yet, hopefully this article will convince you of the necessity of building your list.
