First 2 SMS Appointments Yesterday - 3 thoughts
Yesterday, I finally got to sit down with business owners, and I really felt like I had no f---ing idea what I was doing. I completely winged it with a ppt and it went REALLY REALLY well. I walked out of the 1st appointment with an appointment to meet with the owner and his GM again this afternoon and walked out of the 2nd appointment with a signed contract!
Based on this VERY limited sample, here are my thoughts:
1. Business owners are ready for this. They know they need to do get on board with mobile because they see their customers on their phones ALL the time. For everyone on this forum, it probably isn't a surprise.
2. They either have done a little research into it, have heard of it, or have seen it somewhere else and thought to themselves that they want to try it. It almost seemed like they were both ready to try it even before I pitched them which was really interesting to me.
3. Cold calling flat out WORKS. Both were completely cold leads that I literally called right out of a list of restaurant owners. It is cost effective (I paid $0 for both leads) and efficient
So, now that I have 1 client and another likely client, I can officially call my self owner of a mobile marketing company!
Anyone reading this that has clients already, I'd love some advice on how to handle their marketing plans. I have a good deal of info already on how I want to handle it and what I want to do to help them build their lists, but I'd love some more input if anyone would be kind enough to give it.
