So I thought I was making it easier by asking them how many calls they received on a daily or weekly basis from new clients – business that was new.

Again a blank.

I got their attention when I proposed that we postpone making any changes to their marketing until they could tell me how many clients on average they were already getting from the internet . If we didn’t know where they were right now, they would never know how far they had come once they deliberately marketed their business on the internet. Without that information they could not have a clear idea of the value of their marketing their business. Its all about return on investment.

So I left them with a challenge – spend the next month or so tracking how many calls come in or walk-ins that are new business. Get a number – two a week, 5 a day – whatever it was. And for those people ask them how they came to find Business X. Sometimes I ask it like this sometime during the initial conversation.

“So I know if what I’m doing is effective in terms of marketing, could you tell me how did you find out about my business?”

More often then not these days, its the internet.

Do you know for your business? If you don’t, start today, heck start tomorrow when you’re fresh but start. Here’s a chart that I use – Benchmark Form – download it and use it or modify it to your needs.

enLocal – Austin Representative

512-553-5756

Hello, my name is Carolyn Holzman and I live and work here in Austin. I found out for myself the power of increasing my company’s visibility when it comes to search engines – you know – Google, Yahoo, Bing – those guys.

Its so powerful that I couldn’t keep it to myself – I mean you find something good and you want to share, right? And in this economy where every advertising or marketing dollar has become just that much more important, how could I keep this radical information to myself?

That’s my motivation. I am here to teach you what you want to know, to effectively do what you need and to provide it with the very best team in the world.

I can show you what the results are for my local brick and mortar Austin local business. I can make it possible for your business to have a different result than you’re having right now and to provide it at my own risk. I pledge to get your business in the local searches for your services within 2 months or you get your money back. That’s right you’re not even risking your own money.

How’s that?

When’s the last time you got an offer like this?

Either your local business listed in the local search or what I did for you is free.

Call me today – I’m committed to your business success.
