5 Seo Hot Tips To Increase Your Internet Sales Conversions

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

Here are some good SEO hot tips if you’re thinking of redesigning your home page to increase customer conversions and improve SEO in the near future:

1). Try and avoid slogans and sayings underneath the name of your business on the home page. They mean nothing much to other people and take up valuable webpage space.

Also consider which parts of your homepage that your prospective customer’s eyes will be drawn to. What is the action you are trying to have the customer carry out?

2). If you can, show at least three before and after pictures of how customers have benefited from your service or product.

3). Add in testimonials from customers underneath these. Immediately show what the prospective client wants and the results that you can offer, this in turn will improve SEO.

4). If you can show pictures that give information on clients negative experiences with other companies before they came and found you and how you corrected the other provider’s shoddy work, then all the better.

5). You could then add something like, “If only they had come to me first they could have avoided paying for the same service twice and all the emotional hassle associated with their negative experience with this other supplier.”

You could also include something like this, “don’t let the same thing happen to you. Contact me for a free initial consultation, or just enter your email address on the email entry web form below and I’ll send you my free guide on the questions you should be asking any competitor before you decide to go with my service.”

I remember the first time one of my website’s live on the internet. A great feeling of achievement! The technical side is often the first stumbling block that most small business owner’s face as hiring someone to do your website for you has as many pitfalls as it does advantages. In my experience what you typically end up with is essentially a very attractive online brochure that is only that. Often it has poor traffic and has not been designed with compelling a visitor of your site into action.

At the very least you should have the first page a prospective customer visits contain a web form that will entice them to fill in their email address and join your subscriber list. Offering them something such as a free e-book is a great way to achieve this.

Often customers will be interested in buying from you is you offer personal attention throughout their purchase. This is where satisfaction guarantees come into their own as do videos of your satisfied customers giving glowing testimonials of your product and services.

It Sales: It’s All About Relationships

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Developing the bond and the relationship with your clients is very important. In this article, you’ll learn how your relationships are your assets with IT sales. It’s not about the size of your customer list necessarily. It’s not even about the revenue. It’s about the longevity and the long-term relationships you build with your customers.

When you’re talking about your ideal clients, the lifetime value could be well in the six-figure range, so it’s well worth your time to really get to know the owners and the partners of the companies you want to work with. The time you invest in this relationship-building is well worth it in the long run.

IT Sales: Managing Customer Expectations

If you handle sales initially, you don’t have to worry that the salesperson you’re sending there will change a couple of times a year and you’re starting all over again. Receivable experts often report how salespeople often grossly misrepresent the capabilities of an organization just to get the signed deal. And of course that comes back to bite you much later because you have a huge problem with managing expectations. Building a personal relationship with your customers at the beginning of the IT sales process prevents this.

Personally Train your IT Sales Staff

Typically, most of the consultants that we work with get very actively involved in generating the leads and closing the sales in the early stages of growing their consulting and their services business. Once this becomes more routine, once you have five or 10 really good solid clients on your roster that are generating together anywhere $5,000 to $15,000 a month in services, then it may be time to start having someone tag along with you to some of these IT sales calls. Only at this point should you consider delegating it. It’s time-consuming, but it’s a really important part of the future of your business with IT services

How to Close Your Online Service Description for More Sales – Provide Outside Proof or Challenge the Reader?

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

If you feel that you could achieve better results with your service descriptions on your website, then you have found the right article to help you out. You will find in this article two intriguing styles of concluding your writing that could easily double your results. The two styles are: Propose a new direction of thinking and Use a closing quotation by a famous person.

Propose a new direction of thinking about your service or product

This style will build on your previous paragraphs that described the features and the benefits of your service. Based on all these, the final paragraph will propose a new way of thinking about your the reader’s life, by having her imagine that she already owns the service. You could go as far as challenging the reader to compare that new life with the old life without the service. When done in a tactful way, the comparison will not be overbearing or down putting. So as they say “accentuate the positive” and only mention the “negative” briefly.

Use a closing quotation

When you are able to find a closing quotation that is highly appropriate for your service or the benefit that your service offers to the reader, this could be very powerful. A quote by a famous person that the reader knows well will add proof to everything you said in the service description and will sway the reader strongly in the direction of the call to action. If no appropriate quote comes to mind, you can search for quotes by keyword at quotations page. And, as an added bonus, you will be making the famous person a favor too because, “Have you ever observed that we pay much more attention to a wise passage when it is quoted than when we read it in the original author?” By the way, this quote was by Philip G. Hamerton, from “The Intellectual Life”. So have fun with the quotes, build more proof, and engage your reader.

These are the two styles which you can use to close your service description pages. They both engage the mind of the reader and provide a summary and possibly additional proof of the value of your service. Now it is up to you to get out and use these two styles in your own writing. Engage the reader by proposing a new way of thinking about their situation in the final service description paragraph. Or, after summarizing the main benefits of the service, add a quote by a famous person. You will have more fun writing when you mix the styles and your readers will appreciate it too.

Are Home Based Businesses In Network Marketing & Direct Sales Your Way Out Of A Dying Economy ?

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

It is no secret that America is facing its biggest financial crisis since the great depression. Companies are closing their doors and cutting jobs by the tens of thousands each month, hundreds of thousands of people are becoming unemployed each month, and currently millions of people without jobs. As it stands, Corporate America is no longer a viable and reliable source of security nor has it ever been.

Do You Have A Way Out?

I was speaking with a friend of mind just the other day that is from Detroit about the auto industry and how it will affect that city. Come to find out his parents are both retired from one of the BIG THREE (Ford, GM, Chrysler) and they are highly concerned about what happens to their pensions if those companies fall.

There is a since of concern, urgency and desperation on the faces of people nowadays to find other sources of income to gain that financial security. The buzz has been home businesses that have very low risk and very low financial commitment like MLM, Network Marketing, or Direct Sales. This is a $105 Billion industry with approximately 175,000 people joining per week in the U.S and 495,000 people joining per week world wide.

So what’s the deal behind this type of home business that people are flocking to during this time of financial crisis?

Robert Kiyosaki, a self made millionaire and author of best selling book Rich Dad, Poor Dad says, “Network Marketing gives people an opportunity, with very low risk and very low financial commitment, to build their own income generating asset and acquire great wealth”.

Warren Buffet, the world’s richest individual and owner of 3 direct sales companies says, “One of the best investments I’ve ever made”

Donald Trump, a self-made millionaire says,” It has proven itself to be a viable and reliable source of income”

Network Marketing has changed the lives of people all over the world who have decided to take on the opportunity presented to them. You hear testimonial after testimonial about rags to riches stories and how great wealth has been achieved. It’s really pretty simple, there is nothing magical about it, and these are ordinary everyday people who decided to take ownership of the financial security and gained the freedom they’ve only dreamed of.

How Can I Generate My Own New Car Sales Leads?

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Just started a new job at a popular dealership. Wanted to know how I could possibly generate my own car sales leads.


Write a letter to everyone and anyone you know. Just let them know you started at the dealership and if you can be of any help call. Once they know they will tell their friends if a conversation about new cars comes up.
Next, be on the lot at all times, I have seen so many people waiting at their desk for someone to come to them, if you are on the lot you can approach people as soon as they start looking.
Take some of your business cards and post them around on area bullitien boards, usually the grocery stores, corner stores, pizza places etc. have them.
If you have a little extra money for about $50.00 – $100.00 per month you can advertise on the placemats in diner or local resturants as well as the local auto trader.
Hope this helps.

Unlimited Sales Potential. Learn How Purchase Order Financing Can Finance Your Sales

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Do you distribute, re-sell or sell wholesale products? If you do, you will soon encounter what may be your biggest opportunity for success… or failure. A large order from your best customer. A large order that exceeds your current financing capabilities. If you deliver it successfully, you can count on taking your company to the next level. If you don’t, your competitors will be the ones that eat your lunch and take their business to the next level

So, how do you handle an order that is too large for your business? You finance it. How? Using purchase order financing.

Let’s look at how things work in your business right now. Every time you get a purchase order from a client you go ahead and order the product from your suppliers. You either pay your supplier upfront or using bank financing. The supplier delivers the product and then your client pays you 30 or 60 days later.

However if you don’t have enough money to pay your supplier, the whole transaction falls through. Purchase order financing can provide you with up to 100% of the funds needed to pay your suppliers and make the sale.

There are only three major requirements to qualify for purchase order financing:

1. You must have a purchase order from a large credit worthy commercial customer
2. Your supplier must drop ship items directly to your customer
3. Your sales must be final (e.g. no guaranteed sales or consignment)

If you meet these three criteria, you have a very good chance of qualifying for purchase order financing. Purchase order financing works as follows:

1. You get a large purchase order from a client
2. The purchase order financing company issues a payment guarantee to your suppliers (usually through a letter of credit)
3. Your supplier drop ships the order and you issue an invoice
4. Once your client pays the invoice, the transaction is settled

With purchase order financing, your sales capabilities will no longer be limited by your financial strength. You can sell as much as you can finance. And – if your clients are credit worthy and good payers –you can finance as much as you want, the sky will be the limit.
