After 6 Weeks of Cold Calling...My Closing Rate Is Finally 60%

Really? Why? One would think that if they already have a website then a mobile website (appropriately priced) would be an easy way to get your foot in the door.

At least, that's what the last 15 WSO's I bought preached. LOL

This is definitely going to come off the wrong way.
I think you are one smart dude, I have given you mad props all over this forum. But you have an attitude very similar to ms fluffycats. Or whatever her name is.

If I'm offending you, I apologize. But damn bro. A lot of threads I see you in you're looking for reasons to call people out on shit. First thing I thought when I read this thread was "max obviously made a mistake". Thats because I pay attention to peoples morals/personalities more than individual posts. I know he's a good guy, and doesn't screw around with people.

You can rant on about the 10 billion scammers you've met on WF since you've been here. But seriously. That shit would just bring me down having an attitude like that.

I am farrr from perfect, trust me. But maybe you're just getting too smart for WF?
If thats even possible.

That makes sense... I thought he was saying 60% of all calls lol.

"That" will get you alot of closes. Sounds awesome- Being able to offer payment options.

How can a biz owner say No when you can work with him any way he needs you too?

Good show man.

Remember to give a "discount" on up-front payment!

$1250 one-time fee, payable upfront, or $347 over a 6 month period of time...

Is that $750 per Mobile website?
Thats alot of money for a foot in the door service i would have thought?

Goodwork

That's fantastic idea.

How many times do you come up against the old. "Well I haven't got the budget right now" This cuts right through that and as business owners ourselves we can make it bespoke for the customer.

The best things are the most obvious!! Nice one maxrezn

Tell me, what the pricing that you offer on instalments. Do you split the $750 into 2 or 3 payments or do you add a bit onto the prices because your doing instalments. e,g. 3 payments of $275 (adding 10%) ??

Would love to know???

It's different for a mobile website. I could be wrong but there is no "citations" for mobile websites like there are with Places. There is no on page SEO like there is with building a new website.

The company is paying a very high price for something that they could get for around $10 per month...or even for FREE from Google (GoMo). If I'm planning on establishing a relationship with the customer and selling him more services later on, that WILL come up at some point. Someone somewhere will realize and the customer will eventually find out. Once that happens my credibility is gone!

It's the same thing with selling QR codes.

Right. Why even keep this section open anymore?

All business owners need to do is search around google for a few days, and learn months of trail and error. Probably should put a complete halt on their business while they take the time to learn how to run a complete online marketing system.

People only have so much time in their day to take care of everything. I just had my roof done on our house. It cost me $4000 more than I could have done it myself, but they were in and out in less than 5 hours because they knew what they were doing.

If I were to do that myself it could have easily taken up many days of my time.

Last month I replaced the faucet in my kitchen. I learned how to do it by watching some Youtube videos. After a few trips to the hardware store for tools that I did not have, carefully analyzing every step to make sure that I had it right, and then finally putting the faucet in the correct way, I had 7 hours invested. I could have had the roof replaced in that time.

I had also planned to have the faucet in the bathroom replaced, but decided to have a plumber put it in, which cost me $200 in labor, but I knew that it was done right.

It the same thing with our business. These business owners are not interested in learning how to do SEO, text messaging, or nearly anything else that they need. Sure they know that it needs to be done, but they only have 24 hours in a day like we do. Then they also want someone to come in and do the job right in the first place.

Ya know - running a couple business' AND hobbies pretending to be biz's over the years - you soon learn that its the freakin free CR@P that ends up costing you a fortune.

Not sure about ya'll - but MY TIME is $$$, I consider it valuable. Sinking it down the FREE Rat Hole is one of the most expensive lessons I've learned.

Usually when I see / hear FREE - I double check and make sure I got my titanium skivvies on ...

Its even effective coupled with nothing but a phone and a phone book. No need to put it off at all.

The two are designed for each other, perfect marriage. No other tactics needed.

Still doing any web design? Or strictly SEO?

Your old posts are still pretty valuable to the WF community though.

And I'm with Rearden, can you give us a small update of how you're doing? Last I recall from you was saying how the last week of August and that one week in December are the slowest in terms of sales.

Thanks for the update. It was nice seeing your progress throughout the year, demonstrating once again that if one works hard and doesn't give up then one too can earn success.

Nice job bro... you won't keep up with the growth, but that's okay. Many startups, BIG, startups that get VC funded usually grow at 5%, so you're way ahead of the mark.

Geeezzz guy. An average 89% growth every month? If that continues, forget Inc. 5000 by 2016, you'll be the biggest company on the planet earth.

Quick math example: A company doing $5,000 in month 1 in revenue with a 89% average growth each month, would equal $10,387,513 a month in revenue by month 12.

Wait so you still sell SEO????? Wow I didn't think anybody sold that anymore.Did you do direct mail when you 1st started out?
