Internet Marketing Solutions For Small Business – A New Idea
Wow, I’ve just this morning heard about a new programme which I really think is going to make a BIG difference to lots of Internet Marketers who are out here on the internet trying their best to make some money and not really succeeding! I definitely know several people who have learned how to market online, but have just not reached that place where they are making enough to give up their day job!
This is going to rock the boat for alot of people!
Because it is a system which uses the skills they already have! Things such as capture pages and autoresponders are something they know about. And they will be able to profit from what they know that others do not. Finally! This system is going to make everything simple, so they can help local small businesses to market their business on the internet. Wicked!
An amazing number of small businesses do not market online because they have no idea where to begin. And this system is going to put the people who know how to market online but do not have a product to sell, together with businesses who have money for marketing but don’t know how to do it! It is not affiliate or multilevel marketing. It is actually very simple, like many great ideas, but I’m sure its going to create a great stir on the internet when it opens.
It comes from Mike Koenigs, who runs Traffic Geyser. If you haven’t heard of him or his business, well where have you been? For those of you who do not know, Traffic Geyser, amongst other things gets your videos out to lots of different sites over a pre-arranged number of days. By doing this it gets you incredible rankings on Google.
I have been using Traffic Geyser for a few months now, and absolutely love it. Everytime I log on they have improved something. As well as instructional videos, he tells you what to do videos about, suggestions, tips and ideas you would never dream of. Anything Mike brings to the table is going to be great!
This programme is going to benefit such alot of people, he almost deserves a medal! Bring it on!

How to Track Your Leads to Increase Your Sales Success
Apr 17th
Most sales training books and courses spend a lot of time on closing the sale, but very little time is spent on discussing the leads that, well, lead to those sales. The sales process begins with generating leads, so it is important to understand as much as you can about them in order for your business to be as profitable as possible.
Can you count the number of leads you received over the past 30 days? The quality leads that are the most probable to end up in a sale are usually easy for people to name, but a great deal of other probably leads are actually lost each month.
Why does it matter? Because a company spends so much time and money to get leads, the more you know about them, the more profitable the business will become. And, if you can use your newly found information to either reduce the cost of your marketing or the time that you spend, wouldn’t that be worth it?
Your first action plan is to create a way to track key information about the ways that you generate your leads. Below are some questions to ask to get started:
1. Where do you first generate your leads from? A “pre-lead” is really just a prospect, for example a website visitor or someone you shake hands with at a meet-up group. Identify your main sources for gathering prospects, such as the Internet, trade shows, networking events, or direct advertising.
2. Then, answer the question, what specific sources do you get your actual leads from? Pay per click advertising, a specific trade show, someone else’s website, or organic online searches are all examples of a specific source for your leads.
3. How would you rank the quality value of each of those leads from your source and specific source? An effective way to come up with this is to assign a percent value to every lead a source provides. For example, 10% for a suspect (not even really a lead yet); 25% for someone who is actually interested and you’re talking more; 50% if you’ve issued a proposal and 100% if you closed the sale.
Once you know where your best leads originate, you will find you are able to spend your marketing dollars and your time much more efficiently.
