Your web business probably gets product inquiries from potential customers around the globe. Inquiries come via e-mail and your web site, and you try to send information to each hot prospect as quickly as you can. You know that you can drastically increase the likelihood of making a sale by satisfying each person’s need for information quickly!
But, after you’ve delivered that first bit of information to your prospect, do you send him any further information?
If you are like most Internet marketers, you don’t.
When you don’t follow that initial message with additional information later on, you let a valuable prospect slip from your grasp! This is a potential customer who may have been very interested in your products, but who lost your contact information, or was too busy to make a purchase when your first message reached him.
Often, a prospect will purposely put off making a purchase, to see if you find him important enough to follow up with later. When he doesn’t receive a follow up message from you, he will take his business elsewhere.
a
Following up with leads is more than just a process – it’s an art. In order to be effective, you need to design a follow up system, and stick to it, EVERY DAY! If you don’t follow up with your prospects consistently, INDIVIDUALLY, and in a timely fashion, then you might as well forget the whole follow up process.

You know that the Internet is the key to building a massive business.
As an Internet Marketer and Coach people often say to me
“I know the Internet is THE tool to be using to promote and grow my business. I’ve signed up with Facebook, twitter, Linkedin, MySpace and every other Social Media tool I can find but I’m still not getting any results. How do I take advantage of the Internet and market my business online?”
Most people start out in MLM using the traditional approach of network marketing by making a list of family and friends. They then use every opportunity to pitch their company, product etc. to these people who are not interested at all.
A MLM fact: 97% of people in the industry never achieve a full-time income level.
There are three main reasons for this:
1. They run out of leads – if you have no leads you have no business.
2. They run out of money – it takes time to build up enough residual income to fund your marketing.
3. They get despondent and give up.
We all know the importance of networking and join networking groups so that we can meet people and get to know them.
What About Online Marketing?
Online marketing is no different. Think of it as networking (only we’re using the internet to network with others.)
Pay Per Click advertising, PPC, paid search engine marketing, sponsored search results or whatever you call it is still a great way of attracting targeted traffic to your website.
Internet Marketing is becoming more and more localized as customers are increasingly searching for products and services in their own geographic location.
When talking to people about PPC advertising I often have people say that it’s too expensive for the results they’re getting and that PPC doesn’t work! Granted, if not done correctly PPC can become expensive with limited or no results. On the other hand if done correctly PPC can be very effective and is more cost effective and produces better results than more traditional marketing strategies.
I’ve included a GREAT Profitability Calculator below that I use in my business, that’ll help you decide if PPC can be profitable in your particular situation. It’s also a great way to test different scenarios. Read More→
