Emailed Client Mobile Mock up this morning, and JUST closed sale.

20 replies
Had my assistant research a list of 10 plumbers in my region that have websites but no mobile websites, I went to dudamobile and created homepage mockups then emailed each plumber with a quick pitch about how they dont have a mobile website and I made a free mockup,etc. All emails were sent 7am EST this morning.

I just made a round of calls to those plumbers to follow up on the mockups. out of the 10 calls, I was able to sell 1 of the plumbers for $1000 + $10/mo on a mobile website. 2 said they didnt receive the emails, and a few voicemails.

    Good work, my man!

    I love when people share their stories of success so other warriors can model it and make it work for them.

    Keep it up!!

    Great! I'm still trying to get past the mockup stage. I get people who are interested, even seek me out, but receive no response after the mockup.

    Very insightful method, sometimes things really are THAT simple.. People tend to over-complicate things, myself included... I am going to try this, it may take me 5 emails, it may take 200, but I will keep going until I get a sale

      Congrats on landing that sale.

      Btw, did you send the plumbers a side by side comparison display of their current site with your duda mockup or did you simply send them to a single page featuring their duda mockup?

      Thx.

        I included unlimited changes until he approves the final mobile site.

        I simply sent him an email with the duda mockup, but I did mention in the email that his website is not mobile phone ready,etc

            I have one question - are you actually using Dudamobile to create the mobile sites? Or just to create the mockups themselves?

            Thanks

              Inspirational thread!

              How did you come up with different designs for so many
              plumbers so they wouldn't all
              look the same?

              What was the "hook" or email you sent to get them to bite?

              Thanks,

              Ray

                I'm also curious to both these questions.

                  What does it matter if the sites all look the same? They are only mockups and each business is not going to know about the other businesses you have contacted. Sure, you are best to change the logo and a few colors to match the business you are targeting but you don't want to waste too much time with the mockups. Considering 9 out of 10 businesses were not sold you don't want to spend too much time on the individual designs.

    Hey now, that's a great ROI and if you don't get a few more sold following up by phone, wait a week and send a direct mail piece showing their current site next to one of the new sites you just did for their competitors. At $1000 a pop, that could be a nice 5k Christmas bonus for you for just a few hours work!

    Congrats to the sale. Interestingly, I am going to do the same tomorrow. I hired a telemarketer and will get him to make calls to all the restaurants in town to set an appointments for me.

    Will deliver the mockup when meeting them in person. I think that is easier to close than having to send the mock up over and waiting for reply.

    Anyhow, wish me luck! Oh, and I am using dudamobile too.

    Congratulations on your sale. $1000 is a really good figure. 1/10 is also a nice closing rate. But, I think you could have asked for more than $10 as the monthly payment since they agreed on $1000 for the initial payment.

    Wow Congrats man, keep at it, it sounds like you have a targeted thing going. I like the fact that you took it by industry.
    Was plumbers just something you decided or was it because you felt they might be more inclined to get a mobile site?
