In this issue we inform you about the hidden costs of a cheap website, show you how to create the right atmosphere so your clients want to buy from you, and we feature Pommygranate Training and give you the opportunity to attend one of Jo's fantastic workshops...
   "Affordable" web design - the hidden costs of a cheap web site
"Affordable" web design companies seem attractive because of the low cost, but a cheap web site costs less for good reason. There's probably something missing and it's likely to be your new customers.

Apparent Savings
Before you build your web site evaluate cost versus benefit. And the easiest benefit to measure comes from the increase in new customer enquiries.
Compare the amount a cheap web site will save you over 3 to 5 years (possibly a few hundred or thousand) versus what it can cost you in new business over the same period (possibly a few thousand or ten thousand).
The hidden costs of a cheap web site

Established web companies often focus on customers who are up to their 2nd or 3rd web site because most web site owners have to experience owning a low quality web site to appreciate the value of a high quality web site.


Unfortunately this means you have to go through an expensive mistake and potentially waste years on a poorly performing web site before you get an effective web site.
Anyware won't give up on you so quickly - we wrote this guide so you don't have to experience this pain.


This guide is written for business owners who are short on time, know their business and their customers well and are not technical experts. And it shows you what to watch out for if you're considering buying a web site where the price looks too good to be true.

Sales Tip

Every Sale Is Defined By Your Customer

Your clients don't like to be sold to, however they love to purchase your goods and services.  Your job as the salesperson in your business is to create an atmosphere where your clients want to buy your products or services.

And how is this achieved?  If your clients like you, believe and trust you, plus they have confidence in you and trust your Company then they just might buy from you.

If one or all of these attitudes are missing then your client just might go shop at your competitor's place.  So when you deliver value and the client likes you and trusts your Company, then the sale is pretty easy and repeat business flows through the door.

To Summarise:  A client first buys (likes) the Salesperson, then the Company, then the Product.  Get this order wrong and the result is usually No Sale.  Learn to get this order right and watch your sales conversion rate increase dramatically
