The Secret is in the Follow Ups

The age old problem for newbies or even well established internet marketers, is how do you turn a lead into a sale?

If you have never 'sold' or talked someone into 'buying' a product or service before, this can be scary, unnerving and could lower your confidence and self esteem. Most online marketing companies do offer mentoring and a coach to help you through your first few sales, normally by doing three way calls with you and your potential client.

There are a number of ways you can do the follow ups, through phone calls, emails, skype is also an option, it is up to you to choose which medium is comfortable to you, but a good mix of all three can help.

The secret is indeed in the follow up. When a prospect lands on your website, how are you following them up? Can you tell which ones are just curious and which ones are serious?

I have spent so much time following up people who were not really interested but were just curious and due to my inexperience when I first joined the online marketing world I found it difficult at first to turn these people round into a 'sale'.

I started out with developing a script I was comfortable with to use when making follow up calls, and in time I adapted and made this more freestyle for my own purposes. This helped me to push my sign-up rate to 4 in 10 people rather than the original 1 in 15 when I first started out.

Building a rapport with your prospects is important. Getting to know and understand them and their current situation will help you identify how best you can 'serve' them and meet their needs through the products or services you have. People will often not buy from 'strangers' or people they feel they cannot trust, so building up this trust is important.

Keeping your Focus

Sometimes it can be difficult keeping focus on your tasks, especially if like me you tend to multi task and sometimes get so side tracked into other things. So how do you keep yourself on track?

I for one look at my to do list on a daily basis, I use Microsoft Outlook so find that I can have my daily tasks added to my mobile phone application and I also print out the tasks and calender as I also like to physically tick things off.

I then look at my tasks and pick 5 must dos for the day and focus on those, then when i have done those I look at the next 5...

Anyone got any good tips here would be appreciated, so come on bloggers add to this forum positively....

Thought for the day!

Sunday 26th April. Day of Rest for Many.
As it is the last Sunday of the Month, I usually take time to reflect on the past month and look at what I have actually achieved in that time.

I find that the year can pass through very quickly and sometimes we look back at the end of the 12 months and say - what did I do last year? I had a difficult year in my life and felt frustrated and upset with myself as when I looked back to see what I had achieved, it was little or nothing. I hadnt set myself any goals for that year, and therefore didnt achieve anything worthwhile. I vowed then, that I would set myself yearly, 3 yearly, 5 yearly goals and some longer term ones, but more importantly set myself weekly and monthly goals and to spend time to reflect at the end of each month to look back and note what I had or had not achieved.

I have been doing this for the past three years and it has helped me move both my personal life and my business forward to no end, and for that I am grateful. It has helped put back some discipline into my life and work ethos.

So today I will be reflecting back on the past month of April and noting down what I have achieved, and what I could have done better, and incorporate these into further plans for the month of MAY.
