Are you like most business owners - battling to make more sales?
If you are, you spend a lot of time thinking about how to make more money in your business. You know that the more marketing you do the more sales you make.And yet, do you find that most of your marketing efforts don't give you the results you needed - and cost a fortune in the bargain? At some stage you might have put your faith in Word of Mouth marketing... only to find that it brings in new clients too slowly to sustain, let alone grow, your firm. Faced with increasing pressure on your cash flow and falling morale, you might have tried the dreaded Cold Calling. This takes time and money and most of us don't handle being turned down 47 times in one day too well, do we? Sales slow down and our frenzied attempts to close new sales begins to turn off our prospects. This either puts them off doing business with you or they end up squeezing you on price or they have a whole list of other demands "to be included" that further shrink your small margins...not a recipe for building good long term relationships. Sooner or later all your marketing slows to a trickle or grinds to a complete halt. Sales, the crux of your venture, get harder and harder and you end up hating your job!

They are the only marketing experts so far who did not sell me the obvious "you need 20 000 flyers now" phrase but instead gave me advice about how to use my website to market my business.
