I screwed up...Live and learn

[Brian R]

Ugh.

I just did a program that brought about 1500 real potential customers to my website.

I was "planning" to have an email sign up form on my front page.

Totally spaced it and forgot . CRAP!

These are people in my area, almost ready to buy and were/are considering my service.


Lived.....Hope I learned.


What a dumbass thing to do considering it was for only one day and one day only.

You’re not going to be able to work your marketing magic if you’re on the truck. How hard could it be to train someone to diaper spin? Get off the truck or be a dedicated Owner op and don’t worry about the marketing too much.

According to John G., it takes time to "master the method."

 

[Ron Werner]

what was your program that brought you 1500 potentials?
Do you know if they were "qualified" potentials or just everyone that you would have to sort through later, ie price shoppers, places you really don't want to go into, etc

 

[Brian R]

Deal of the Day Ron.

Those were the hits I got from the ad.

Although, it's not too accurate because I used the Yahoo tracker. Free.

But either way....Potentials a plenty.



Ace....I'm talking to a guy about leasing out my North Dallas area. I will go back to marketing more when I do.

I may try to start another area etc.

Opt in or no opt in. If 1500 hundred of ready to buy prospects hit your site you should of received many prime jobs.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch.

You know what I think of selling by drastically discount your price.

It just means your company doesn't have other reasons to select your company.


Most clients that have been around the block a few time know that it impossible to get the lowest price and the best service at the same time.

If you play the lowest price game all involved will lose.

The client gets crap, The cleaner goes broke and the clients loyalty will go to the guy with the lowest price next time.

I'd rather make client extreamly happy with the service, have continued loyalty and make more money.

 

[Brian R]

Yes Dave. I've heard it all before and yet I'm still not going broke.

I'm not discounting my prices, I'm giving a discount on 3 areas (usually).

They are seeing my company and deciding. The deal is a nice "get to know me" deal.

Everyone is happy...Most pay for more.

It's about exposure...Getting my name out there.

I'm pretty sure that's what most don't understand.







At least I'm not giving away a free room or some crazy thing like that. :roll:

YEs, you are a dumb ass!

 

[Royal Man]

So, 1500 quality leads = ? jobs

 

[Brian R]

Awe, coming from you Becker that means something.
