Well, if you can't win an argument with logic, why not try insults? I can just imagine you with customers who refuse to buy your product. You are obviously someone who cannot accept defeat, and when it happens it is clear that you feel it's the other guy's fault

Of course, if you hadn't tried insulting us in the first place then I wouldn't have had to pull you up about it.

"I was dinosaur in my thinking as well".... Dinosaur is a noun, BTW, you might want to get your written sales material checked for grammar.

Hope this helps

John

Better off having a clean, navigateable site then hoping the customer is going to read your brochures, you have sent out in the mail or hand delivered. Your flyer if you chose could be one page minimal writing and direction to the site maybe a magnetic website card attached.
If you have the ability to build your own site and can afford to work at ranking then there is nothing wrong with that.
Ranking is for selling state, province or world wide. Most contractors don’t leave their back yard. Rightfully so, the grass is not really greener….


I see a ton of guys spending time on trying to get on google. KEEP dreaming you cant compete with lead companies. for instance I can run an add for one month in the Yellow pages... STAY WITH ME!! It cost me $1000 a month. I got a few calls. Mostly was just crap. I have yet to run into anyone with the marketing experiance like me ( tooting my own horn). it cost me about 500 per phone call I got to go out and see that someone wanted to have a window replaced. i tried to upsell them. NOPE!!! and Im good at sales. so I tried service magic. More like service JUNK... I figured I would try a different one. I serched around and there was one that pre screens their leads. I got my own Rep.. and I pay them him about the same and he gets me tons of leads. I know they do the entire USA. if you want a better example get a hold of my buddy Dan Wolt owner of Zen windows. com If you are looking for even more business get a hold of him. any way we figured it out and Buying your leads is way cheeper and much more effective. Especially if they are qualified before you get them. Not all of them work out. but I get about 4 out of 10. I make profit Way more if any one wants needs help with marketing. e mail me boscott270@gmail.com zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz bed time. got to remove some concrete in the morning.

Re: Ranking Is For Selling Wiggets


Ranking on google is one of the best ways to get your customers to look at your website. If your site isn;t there they look at someone elses and become their customer.

I agree with you, your website should be on everything... business cards, stationary, flyers, everything. But being at the top of the search engines is equally as important or you are losing big!

Re: Ranking Is For Selling Wiggets


Your in canada. that doesnt count. few lead companies cover canada because it is so spread out. Plus 90 percent of lead companies are in america. so the rate of the doller vs. the looney or toony is not so good. It messes with the banks and billing. any way Look up ren x, bid clerk, any of those. reliableremodeler. they focus on America. Not hockey. speaking of hockey I used to play for the vernon Vipers. OH YEAH................ if you are looking for the best lead company out there let me know. I work with them and get tons of work. I bought 15 leads and landed 7... maybe its becuase I am an amazing sales guy. LOL

Thanks for the bad news.
I will fire our SEO person tomorrow.

I know exactly where I am listed, thanks.

First page, if not first result on every single relevant or even remotely relevant search terms.

We are www.google.ca here, not www.google.com

Look for ecopainting.ca

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...e+Search&meta=

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...G=Search&meta=

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...G=Search&meta=

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...G=Search&meta=

http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=...G=Search&meta=

etc, etc, etc.

Mr amazing sales guy
All lead companies are here.
They just can't beat our ranking. I know they are trying...

No, I don't need them.
Come to think of it, I hardly need any more leads.
I need less than 10 a week and I am getting about 30

What is the point anyway?
I don't need any leads from them so whether they are in or not, who cares.
Lead services (for the most part) suck.
Do a search here first.
