Following Up Until You Get Action In Your Internet Marketing Promotion Business

Before I start this article and to make sure you get the most from it, be sure to read the first to parts in this series Discover How To Create Leads For Your Internet Marketing Promotion Business (part one) http://bit.ly/daxtTi And Following Up Until You Get Action In Your Internet Marketing Promotion Business (part two) http://bit.ly/agelHF

Following-up can be an acquired or innate skill that comes naturally to some and for others is a skill that takes time to develop over the course of their career. The Importance of follow-up in your business is huge because this is where the application of your skills and your ability to deliver the product/service become evident.

One of the huge benefits of having an internet marketing promotion business is the ability to automate your follow-ups with virtual assistants. Every time someone contacts you for information about your business, simply add that person’s email address to your list of prospects and then periodically send follow-up messages to that list.

It’s important to realise that you *will* get business from these prospects *if* you stay in contact with them. In fact, prospects need to hear from you multiple times before they actually buy: 2% of sales are made on the 1st contact. 3% of sales are made on the 2nd contact. 5% of sales are made on the 3rd contact. 10% of sales are made on the 4th contact. 80% of sales are made on the 5th-12th contact [Source: National Sales Association]

But most marketers give up after just 2 contacts – that means they’re missing 95% of potential sales! If you’re not following up, you’re leaving money on the table. Period.

Follow up is one of the most powerful skills in business situations, yet many people fail at this simple task. A person can argue their schedule is so busy that they don’t have time. This excuse does not warrant any merit. If you feel that your busy schedule is hindering your follow-ups, then you need serious evaluation of your organizational skills and time management abilities.

A typical lead nurturing programme involves a series of letters, emails, case studies, success stories, articles, events, white papers, and webcasts. If you nurture your leads before selling, you’ll see more sales-ready leads, higher close ratios, a stronger sales pipeline and a shorter sales cycle.

Compared to all the other tasks, even the least amount of time spent on follow-up will still generate MORE MONEY than the rest. The 80/20 rule applies where 20% of the actual work generates 80% of the results this is scientifically proven in everything that people do. An autoresponder is one of the best tools you can use to automate this follow-up process.

If you would like assistance with setting up an extremely effective follow up system that can pretty much be put on auto-pilot, be sure to get in touch with me.

Welcome back. If you have not read the first article in this series on how to create leads, be sure to get your copy from http://bit.ly/daxtTi

Now that you have done that, let’s continue. Knowing that it is vital to get traffic to your blog or you will simply be out of business is only part of the formula for your internet marketing promotion success. I can’t stress this enough that you need to have targeted traffic. This means quality over quantity here.

The reason been is they are simply not bringing targeted qualified traffic to their sites. So what you need to do is winnow down generic traffic to the traffic that is most likely to buy. Here is how to pre-qualify traffic and turn that traffic into actual leads:

STEP 1: Determine who your target market is. Targeting a specific market does not mean that you have to exclude people that do not fit your criteria from buying from you. Rather, target marketing allows you to focus your marketing and brand message on a specific market that is more likely to buy from you than other markets. This is a much more efficient and effective way to reach potential clients and generate business.

STEP 2: Craft a targeted message. You have probably heard that you can make hundreds, thousands or even millions of dollars by building a targeted email list and then selling products and services to the people on the list. There is some truth to this statement. A targeted email list can certainly come in handy when trying to promote an existing business, supplement current sales or jump start a new enterprise.

STEP 3: capture your leads information. With this information, your autoresponder (if you don’t already have an autoresponder, be sure to ask me about them) can maintain a list so that you can market similar products to them on a regular basis. A list is a great way to keep your business going and more importantly, growing.

3: Collect the details of those who visit your blog. People will be a lot more willing to leave their details if you offer them something of value in exchange for their details for example a special report or DVD about how to literally save thousands when buying their next home. The other key is to keep it short. If you make the form too long, people will simply not fill it out, or will skip over large sections of it.

Internet Marketing Promotion Business – Finally Exposed The Simple Approach To Unlimited Leads

When it comes to pursuing an internet marketing promotion business it is straightforward the return on your effort can be truly phenomenal. It is that straightforward that an internet marketing promotion business only has three key components to the marketing of it.

1 Generate leads. There are so many options when it comes generating leads, so in that regard, this is the hardest of the three because you have to pick the most effective ones and stay focused.

2. Make sure the leads are targeted ands fit your ideal prospect list.

3. You must follow up with those leads who have visited your blog. Always remember this ‘the fortune is in the follow up’.

I am going to put this article into three parts as there isn’t enough room in one article to cover all three vital steps. So lets begin with step one.

I am assuming you already have a website or blog? If you don’t already have one, scroll to the end of this article and be sure to click the link in the resource box and contact me, so that we can get you set up with your own blog. There is no point creating leads if you have no where to send them.

Great. So I am assuming you have a blog set up? Thinking of the “perfect” system for getting traffic to your blog, what do you believe it must have?

A great lead generation system should have the following elements…

1. Require little manual effort to effectively run it with the ability to be put almost entirely on “autopilot.”

2. The system should be able to produce an unlimited number of people who are genuinely interested in what you have to offer and are expecting and looking forward to you contacting them.

3. People who respond give you permission to contact them and give your best sales presentation about your specific product or service.

4. The system needs to be high touch and not just high tech in order to build that all important know, like and trust with those who are receiving your information.

5. Will give you a predictable result if you follow the system. Just like McDonalds does. We both know McDonalds have lousy burgers but their global success is built on the predicable and duplicatable system.

The very best system that my clients have found for achieving all five steps is article writing with content that leads back to your blog with an opt-in box.

Articles on your blog or other websites and blogs act like permanent links generate continuous traffic as long as they stay on that location. Which is quite opposite to most others forms of marketing and advertising which stops generating leads as soon as you stop paying or been active.

If you prefer to focus on other aspects of your business, you can hire a ghost writer to write your content and articles.

Given you have read to the end of this article, I am presuming you have received value from it and it would be great to read from you. Be sure to check out part two in this series of articles titled ‘How To Qualify Your Leads For Maximum Leverage In Your Internet Marketing Promotion Business’ You can pick up your copy from http://bit.ly/agelHF

You can have your own business and work from home when you build an online company. There are many business strategies you can use to build your online business.

There are several who have gone before who have left the plans and methods you can use to build your own thriving online business. You need not reinvent the wheel. You just have to follow the steps of the many who have gone before and you will also be able to become an internet millionaire.

You will save not only time on the road, but also transportation costs, gas, car washes, wear and tear on your automobile, oil changes, parking fees, and other related travel expenses, when you work from home.

You will have the pride of achievement and of ownership. Many people do not take this intangible benefit into account. But there is nothing like being a business owner. Only you can lay claim to your success because you and you alone are responsible for your business.

If you have worked in an office or other company atmosphere you know how much stress you can be under. Your boss is watching you and his boss is watching him. You are when to take a break and you are told when to take lunch.

You are told when to be at work and told when you can go home. If this is not a stress filled life, then what is? You will not be under this stress when you can work you internet business from your own home.
