    Inside Sales Tips - A Great Qualifying Call
    A few weeks ago my neighbor put in a new driveway, using beautiful paving stones that dramatically improve the look of his property.Comparing this to my old asphalt driveway, I quickly went over to one of the installers and asked for an estimate. "You have to call our office," he explained as he gave me their business card.Later that day I called and left a message expressing interest in their paving sto

    Self Promotion Brings Business Success
    Your business success depends on your ability to promote your services, your products, and yourself. Fortunately, promotion is simple. I know...you hate selling. "But, I'm not a born salesperson," you say. "I don't want to hustle people." And, images of high-pressure, arm-twisting solicitors come to mind. But, that doesn't have to be you. You're not pushing your services/products onto others; people will buy them beca

    Using the right ads: None of this will work with the wrong ads. Classifieds are best to use on websites and when doing split testing in publications. These are the cheapest most basic ads and are therefore the best to begin your advertising campaign with. When you are sure that the publication you are advertising in is a responsive one and you have the right ad then repeat with a Top sponsor or Solo.

    Types of ads:

    Classified: A basic ad of about 5 lines (60 characters) These ads are generally used as pre selling ads. They will make the reader curious and encourage click through. They are the cheapest ads and will be found at the bottom of the publication. Basically they are made up of:

    An eye-catching headline

    Benefits

    A call to action

    URL

    Top sponsor ads: These ads will be at the top of the ezine before the featured article. They will be an expanded version of the classified ad and will include more benefits. They will either pre sell or actually sell your product or service.

    Solo Ads: are more expanded than the solos ads. In fact they can be an HTML page and will go out alone to all members of the subscriber database.

    Always remember to advertise continuously. You must not let your potential customers forget you. Results may not be very large to begin with but as you continue your advertising you will find better responses and build a good sized swipe file of places to advertise.

    So now you know how to make your ads, test and track them. Now go ahead and put these techniques to work for you and see your ad campaign take off and sales increase.
