"I Walked Out Of The Store With A Check For $1,500"

This information just made me 3000 dollars and on top of that an ongoing 250 dollars a month.

There is a local pet store here that specializes in pure-breed "pocket" dogs. You know...the cutesy kind that Paris Hilton wannabes stuff in their Gucci bags and walk around in the mall  with.

I think these dogs look like rats and gerbils, but to each their own.

These things sell for $1300 and up.

The other day, after reading this thread, I found the website of said dog store and almost had to throw up at how terrible it is.

It is absolutely doing nothing for this persons business. It is the  type of site that a business has made up just to say that they have a website and aren't stuck in the 17th century.

So today I walked in and chatted up the owners, who also mind the store.

I asked them how business was doing and they indicated it was lukewarm, mostly because we are in the post-holiday season.



I then inquired what marketing they were doing:

They have a yellow pages ad and do some local coupon ads twice a year or so.

I then asked how many people come in the store, look around a little bit, and then claim that they'll come back at a later time when they see a dog they like (their "inventory" of dogs changes weekly).

They said probably 95%. Of these 95% about half take a business card or flyer. Of those half, only about 5% come back and actually end up buying something.

I said not bad but I can improve it, and spent the next hour explaining how...and then signing them up for a 3000 dollar complete site overhaul and 250 monthly fee for hosting and  monthly update.

I snatched the monthly fee by offering this service: they have their customers and potential customers sign up for a monthly e-mail update on what they have in stock.

Customers can also go the website and opt-in, of course.

I come in once a month and film their new inventory (using a Flip Video recorder). I will record about 90 seconds of video footage per mutt (they usually have around 12-15).

Each dog's video clip gets uploaded to youtube. The monthly email gets put together, with a two or three paragraph blurb about the new dogs they have available and the 12-15 videos embedded in the email.

The effect of this is twofold: customers that have already  purchased a dog, will probably check out a video,fall in love with one of the dogs, and rush in to buy it.

Customers who walk in, but don't like any of the dogs they currently have, can get a monthly audio/visual update on the stores inventory from the comfort of their home or workplace.

So instead of losing a potential buying customer, the store can now put its product in the face of prospects once a month with ease.

I estimate that it will be about 2 or 3 hours of actual labor per  month.

If I start getting too busy I know someone who I can pay 50 bucks to do it for me.

So 200 bucks a month for sitting on my ass. Nice.

250 a month is probably cheap. But it's my first client and I'm learning.

By the way I walked out of the store with a check for $1500.
Always get half up front, and wait until it clears before you start.

Peace.

Andrew:  Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!

We internet marketers are always cracking our heads to make a living with SEO, PPC, Bum marketing.... yadda yadda yadda...

Without realizing that we are actually sitting in a gold mine...the opportunities are around us!

In my honest opinion, your report is a step by step, no fluff guide to marketing to local business.

In fact, I will be suprised if anyone cannot make money following your guide!

Good job!

"This Is Almost Going To Be Easy"

I want to thank you - everything in your offer is outstanding! This is something I know I can do but just never thought about doing before.

You make everything very clear so there's no guess work at all - this is almost going to be easy and a lot of fun.

"Excellent...Highly Recommended...David Frey"

I read Andrew Cavanagh's report last night and it is excellent.

I highly recommend it.

"I Made An Easy $500 Yesterday PLUS..."

I made an easy $500 yesterday.

I know this may be a small amount, but the business owner will be referring several more business owners to me.

This will be an additional 5 clients, and with them, I will charge my regular rates.

If you haven't gone out and spoke to the business owners, you should get out today. I definitely see why Andrew stressed that so much.

Once you are out talking to them, you are able to find out what their needs are.

I actually had gone by my client's business last Friday and spoke to one of her employees because the owner was not in. I had called yesterday to see if she was in and asked her if she needed my services.

She told me that she would not be interested.

Lesson #1: Do not call your prospective clients. Go and see them in person. You will see why I say this further down in the story.

Well, I was in the area of the business talking to two other owners yesterday and decided to stop by and see the owner that turned me down over the phone in person.

I introduced myself and let her know that I was the one who had called earlier. We began talking and before you know it, we were looking at her website she currently had on her computer in her office.

There were several things that needed to be changed on the old website, and she was interested in the SEO services that I could provide her.

Before I knew it, she was asking me how much I would charge for my services.

That's when I told her that I usually would charge $3000 for a new website and setting up SEO for her site, but if she could refer 5 more business owners to me that I would only charge her $500 and additional $100 month to keep her site updated.

Since I am just starting out, I thought this would be a good strategy for me.

She went on and told me, she had at least 5 or more owners that she would refer to me that would need my services. This will be an additional income of 15,000 just from her referrals.

So, I guess you can say, "I am now in business."

It is as easy as everyone has been saying who has done this before.

Go out and talk to them in person and present yourself as a consultant or advisor.

After you are done giving them advice, they will be asking how much they should write the check out for.

I went out and started without having a website or business cards. It didn't make too much of a difference.

Most of them were just thrilled that I was there in person talking to them about improving their online presence.

If you haven't taken action yet, you need to go out today and take action. This could be your day to make $500, $1000, $1500 or more.

All you have to do is go out and talk to the business owners like everyone has been saying. If I can do it, I know everyone else can also make it happen.

This business model has endless opportunities.

Life is good,

P.S. I am one meeting away from closing two other clients at much higher rates than my first client.

Andrew, thanks again! I have found a business that will bring financial freedom for myself and family for years to come.
