Does your customer service stack up?

June 10th, 2007 Bob Comments

I don’t usually post on Sunday, but I wanted you to have this right away. It’s THAT important.

What does it take to make a prospect or customer notice your [tag]business[/tag] as a special one? One that’s stands above the rest in [tag]integrity[/tag] and [tag]service[/tag]?

A common lament these days is about how [tag]customer service[/tag] has become a thing of the past. Big companies with highly respected names leave their customers disappointed. They are relying on the unfortunate fact that their competitor’s customer service is even worse than their’s.

What a sad situation! For many businesses, the long term results are going to be disastrous. But like always, one person’s disaster is another’s opportunity.

Here is a great little short movie about how even the smallest change in a business’s service culture can pay BIG dividends. It’s your opportunity – enjoy it.

Click here to see the movie.

At the end of the movie, you will have a chance to sign up for their newsletter. If you do, you will get a little bonus. You see, these folks don;t just talk service, they live it.

You’ve no doubt signed up for newsletters or mailing lists before only to have your email program filter the mail as junk. Some sites even tell you to “whitelist” their email address or add them to your “Safe Senders List.” But how many have actually told you HOW to do that? Service, it’s the little things that add up to huge gains for you.

It’s not about what your HAVE to do – it’s about what you CAN do!

TeleSeminars have NEVER been easier

June 8th, 2007 Bob Comments

InstantTeleSeminar logoYou know from past posts that I am a big advocate of relationship building. No matter what your business – online, offline, consulting, professional services, retailing or any other – building a relationship with your current customer base is essential to long-term success. And beginning the relationship building process with new prospects as soon as possible will get you to your goals that much sooner.

Every so often, something comes along that revolutionizes the relationship building process. And now is one of those times. Marketing experts like Dan Kennedy, Bill Glaser, Armand Morin and Alex Mandossian have proven time and again that teleseminars produce explosive results whether your business is online or offline and whether you sell information products, coaching programs, landscaping services, clothing or widgets of every type and description.

See BONUS at bottom to learn more

Everyone has access to a telephone and every one of them is a prospect for a teleseminar in any field you are considered an expert in. The process of setting up a teleseminar has never been very difficult, but some of you have found a way to resist doing them anyway.

Now Rick Raddatz of XioSoft, creator of Instant Audio, Instant Video Generator and Marketing Makeover Generator (all revolutionary products in their own right) has brought us [tag]Instant TeleSeminar[/tag]. Instant TeleSeminar makes it easy for anyone, even a first time user to set up their own teleSeminar.

You simply logon to Instant TeleSeminar and fill in basic information, such as the name of the event (your tele-seminar’s ID), the date and start time, the duration, and whether you want Instant TeleSeminar to generate the web pages for the event sign-up from one of dozens of selectable templates, or to create the web pages yourself and let Instant TeleSeminar just provide the necessary code.

Scheduler page at the InstantTeleSeminar website
Instant TeleSeminar does the following for you:

  • It gives you a 200 person phone-bridge
  • It gives you a 2,000 person webcast *simulcast*
  • It records your call AUTOMATICALLY
  • It posts replays within SECONDS of your call being over
  • It gives attendees a way to submit questions to you without interrupting your call
  • It builds the pre-event promotional page for you
  • It builds lists, creates products, and SELLS YOUR STUFF
  • It does EVERYTHING — and it makes it FUN!
  • We’ll be producing a video shortly to show you just how easy it is to set up your own tele-seminar using Instant TeleSeminar.

    For now let’s have a look at how you can use teleseminars to increase your business:

    Property Rentals – Have a Tele-Seminar to introduce prospective renters to your company’s services. Tell them about any special programs you might have, such as loyalty rewards for tenants who maintain a perfect payment record for a year, appliance rentals, Cable or satellite TV hookup specials, etc. Get local merchants to sponsor the event so you can give away products or services proved by them or offer special discounts or gifts for attendees who patronize your sponsors.

    Rehabbers and Retailers – Your TeleSeminar can pre-sell properties you are acquiring or remodeling. It’s “Flip This Property” on steroids (without the nasty side-effects). Talk abut specials amenities that your properties offer or any special deals you can arrange. Get attendees to recommend friends and co-workers for you next TeleSeminar. Offer them a gift for doing so.

    Short Sale Investors – Use teleseminars at both ends of the transaction. Have teleseminars to put potential sellers at ease about your program to help them with their foreclosure problem. Use teleseminars to educate realtors, attorneys and other professionals who are approached by people in foreclosure on when it is best to call you in to solve the problem. Use teleseminars just like Rehabbers/Retailers to pre-sell properties your are acquiring.

    Mobile Home Community Owners – Use teleseminars to create and maintain a sense of community among your residents. They may not all have a computer and Internet connection, but i’ll bet almost all of them have a phone.

    The subjects you can cover on a teleseminar are limited only by your imagination and the attractiveness of the subject to your potential attendees. Like many other marketing mediums, find something that causes pain (real or imagined) in the life of your customers, show them how to solve it (or ease the pain) and sit back and count your money.

    Teleseminars are one of the most effective and easiest-to-access features of Web 2.0. Instant TeleSeminar has found a way to take all of the pain out of staging your own teleseminars and has put the fun back in.

    If you haven’t staged your first teleseminar yet, let me tell you this. It’s going to JOLT you just how effective teleseminars can be. No matter what you are buying or selling; no matter what you are trying to persuade people to do, teleseminars are the most cost-effective marketing tool available today.

    For more information on how you can use Instant TeleSeminar to step up your marketing results in a big way, see the Instant TeleSeminar website.
