Small business marketing can be daunting!
So, you’re working for a boss one day who is a total and utter ball of stress, he explodes every hour on the hour and pushes everyone around all the time. It seems no one can do better than him! But not without small business marketing…
Finally your day comes …
… something on the inside of you snaps and you think to yourself “Damn this guy! The stress levels I have to deal with here are way too high! If I was to re-create this business I could keep a stress free office and do a better job than this crazy nutcase!”
All of a sudden you have what Michael Gerber, the Author of a book called ‘The eMyth Revisited’ calls an entrepreneurial seizure!
You walk into your boss’ office, slam your resignation on his desk and say “See Yah Later Stress Ball!” and walk from his office with a feeling of ultimate power!
The next day you go about your day setting up your new business. You feel proud of yourself as a result of your liberation and new found freedom!
You create a business name, get a phone and tell all your friends and family that you have gone into business for yourself. You get some work and referrals from friends and family which gives you a great kick start. You take on some more costs as a result and invest extra cash into boosting your professional profile. You want to look like a bigger business and you start working really hard!

Month in and month out you do well. You get into a cycle of finding new clients, doing their work, getting paid and then paying last month’s bills! It seems great, but then serious problems start to surface: surprise bills, customers who are slow to pay, a bout of the flu and a BAS complication. Suddenly it feels like you’re too busy working in the business to work on your business. You start to feel trapped and wonder when you will be able to get enough work in to get you out of the ditch you have unwittingly fallen into!
Then, one day the nightmare increases!
You have no work to do! You have no referrals or ongoing work on the To Do list! You have a list of bills to get paid which reaches the thousands and you don’t have any way of paying them! What will you do? How will you get the clients in?
Not only that but you have just become more of a lunatic than your old boss was and you know it!
Well, this story is common. This is why most small businesses die within the first 2 years, with cashflow and defaulting clients being common issues.
If you haven’t got to this place yet you very well may get there in the following years so it is best to plan ahead!
If you are there now you have our sympathy; we have been there too, many times actually during the early days of our business!
I have a simple but effective answer to these problems!
Your business likely needs a ‘Sales Lead Generation Machine’; one that brings people in, filters and prompts your suitable clients and provides easy means whereby they can make an online inquiry. You or your sales person then receive an email alerting you to the details of the hot lead so you can make a sales call.
We tried calling people from the paper: it didn’t work. We heard some interesting language though and once even sat on hold for 20 minutes before realising we had better move on.

We tried press advertising in the local rag and other places. Whilst we saw some results, we didn’t get the STYLE of client we wanted. We got people who were only out to get the cheapest deal; people who screwed us down to a crazy amount of money and deals we lost money out of!
Realising we needed to tackle the Google challenge, and after investing a couple of years of ongoing research and development, we now have a team of amazing people to ensure that we can implement several strategies that get us to the top of Google!
Not only are all of our methods legitimate and ‘Google Legal’ or ‘White Hat’ but they work at a nice speed too!
In addition, after reading the ‘eMyth Revisited‘ (which we mention to most clients) we have systemised our processes and products. We do this to deliver a cheaper yet more superior product to the market, give small business value for money and give their own little lead generation machine!

So, here is how it works:
- We give you a support account, this includes Managed Unlimited Hosting, with us becoming an extension of your business (your own web department).
- We create you a nice looking website that suits your logo, represents you well and converts website visitors into sales leads (those that are good potential clients). The system emails you their details with a message letting you know they are interested in speaking with you (then you call them back whenever you are ready).
- We work with you to get you to the top of Google for the search terms that people are actually searching for. You get a massive boost in traffic and as a result end up with sales leads emailed to your inbox!
We already have successful and happy clients who are implementing these strategies and getting a great return on investment!
