Gauge of interest?

8 replies
My boy JD has triggered another entrepreneurial idea for me. I have a great cold caller that I use for roofing and radiant barrier appointment setting. She wants to work some during the day as well. Between me and her, we could knock down some "mobile website" appointments. Right now, I don't want to get into SEO , social media, and traditional web design appointments. I know there is always a demand for SEO and web design appointments. Not sure what kind of demand there would be here on the forum for mobile sites. The pricing would be 6 for $300 or 20 pack for $800. I am just trying to gauge interest before setting up the project and WSO page. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Anyone that knows me can vouch that I am not out to screw anyone over.

    Chris,

    Is that $300 for 6 appointments or 6 mobile websites?

    Stick a link in your sig bro, ansd go make a few posts...and see what happens. If you get offers you dont have to take them unless you like em. An ounce of testing is worth a pound of research.

    I will say to everyone that Chris IS experienced at this. 3 appointments from him is probably as good as at least 2 sales if you pitch decent.

    Chris,

    I am not pumping any one person in particular but the guy I think who has a handle on this mobile stuff is Quentin Brown here on the forum. Bought some of his material and made a few bucks w/it. He is Mr. Mobile and can probably answer your questions more than definitively.

    I feel certain there are others but I've only dealt w/him. He is on his A-game. Reminds me of Durham when it comes to cold calling or Michael Bucker when it comes to sales training.

    OK, I'm done name dropping but seriously look QB over and decide for yourself.

    Good luck...

    Tom

    QB is awesome... he created an entire market right in front of our eyes. I would get a sig and go in their Chris. It makes sense. You do have a skill to offer thats worth money to alot of people. There are lots of threads about appt setting in the mobile forum.

    You know it would be a great success! Everyone is always asking for it. I wish I had a good caller to offer this service.

    Listen to John, put a link in your sig. Go a step further and pay the $60 and get an image in your sig. We both know John's ideas work. He's always helped us out (he's a big reason I started an offline biz, actually THE reason). He wouldn't steer us wrong.

      I will just throw something in here before you offer this service.

      Does your appt setter make Mobile appts for you right now or do you make them?

      If the answer is 'yes' then the following is irrelevant.

      6 hours calling a day and an appt an hour would be $300 for 6 as you suggest. Nice days work.

      But if it takes you 2 hours to make an appt you are suddenly down to $150 a day.

      From the purchasers point of view it makes no difference. It is still $50 per appt. Impact on his/her cashflow is zero.

      But to yours it could be huge.

      What is your definition of an appt?

      Someone who is waiting and will stand up in which case you wont be paid if it doesn't stand up.

      I remember you temporarily contracted that guy from Wales and I posed the same question to him.

      I don't believe he does it anymore.

      Dan

      PS: Like I said, irrelevant if you know you can churn out one stand up appt an hour. Just being your Accountant for a tick.

      Never intentionally brother... I dont know what every individual persons commitment level is, but I advise things that "work". I dont know if a person will have the determination to work them or not...Does offering a service in your sig work? YES. Yes. Yes.

      Do you have to go out and spread the love for it to be noticed and be ethical. YES...

      It works fastest if you dont take the shortcuts...HINT...Just go spew some stuff thats real, that you know about, and that people arent getting from rehashers....also remember people dont care how much you know till they know how much you care.

      Dont ask for ANYTHING only give your knowledge, and let your sig do the asking.

      I will help you in any way I can.

      @ Jimbo, brilliant post. Correctomundo on all points.

      More stuff for Chris,

      I would charge $50 bucks per appointment, and replace only no shows... You cant do it based on "sales Commission" because you dont know what kind of closer your customer is , so you can only be SOOO responsible for that.

      Your job is to get him in front of a prospect that has interest and wants to see his presentation, its "NOT" to presell or make the sale for him...If you have ten questions listed for your appointment criteria, then I would charge $150 bucks per appointment. Because you are practically making the guys sale.

      Just send him solid interested people, if you have to practically make the sale, then you may as well just be closing them and keeping the money.

      $50 is just to get you in front of a business owner who will agree to hear a presentation and has indicated some interest. If they even SUCK they should be able to close half of those appointments.
