Web Site Leverage by Robert Middleton |
| |
|
Ever go to a web site and find that after poking around a few
pages you just click off and go to another site? Of course. It
happens millions of times a day on the web. Why? Good question!
This is an important one because if you can't get people to
stick around your site and eventually contact you, your web site
is just taking up cyberspace. |

Fire, Ready, Aim Marketing by Robert Middleton |

| |
|
I've often been asked, 'What is the biggest mistake you've
made in your business?' And the first one that comes to mind was
not creating and selling products much sooner. I was in business
for years and years before I created my first product. Up to that
point I only offered consulting and workshops. And why didn't I
create and sell products sooner? Simple. I was afraid of doing it
wrong. I didn't want to risk making a mistake. |

|
The "beat your competition" mentality is, at best, severely
limiting; at worst, it's evil and destructive. You don't need
to go there to be more successful than you can possibly imagine. |

Objections - The Ten Foot Wall by Robert Middleton |
| |
|
I've found that there are three big objections that frequently
come up when anyone is looking at retaining the services of a
professional. This is assuming everything else fits. They have
the need and you have the services that can help them. They like
you and trust you and you are both excited about the
possibilities. But then an objection bomb falls. So what do you
