  (To Help You Make More Money Now!)

As you previously discovered in part one of this series about proven small business tips, 

it’s not about creating or implementing slam dunk marketing strategies and tactics, in order to be more successful in your business.

In fact, it’s literally quite the opposite for the vast majority of us. Case in point: if you were to try and implement some really elaborate (not to mention) time consuming marketing plan, most of us would simply find an unlimited amount of bogus excuses for not (consistently) and properly executing it. Nod your head.

You Can Improve Conversion Rates Without Turning It Into A Major Time Consuming Project!

Here’s another way of looking at the psychology of that situation as well.

Suppose you volunteered to do a filing job, and you were  two choices, in room A was simply a ton papers scattered all over four separate desks.

And you were asked to dig through them, then after you found just seven specific documents, them file those seven documents alphabetically.

Or room B, simply had two tiny folders on a desk, with no more than ten documents in each of them.

And you were asked to simply find a ton of three specific documents, then file them alphabetically.

Honestly, of the two tasks, which one (on the surface) anyway, seems like the simpler task to accomplish? Precisely.

And so it goes with your first time online visitors. They’re looking for (initially) something they can dig into right away, and hopefully, pick up some quick answers to what concerns them.

It loses it’s overall effectiveness! It’s like school kids hearing a fire alarm ring everyday at a certain time, after a while, they tend to simply block it out!

3.)   Strategy # three: And finally….once again, it’s back to basics here.

Analyse your business and you’ll quickly discover that (like) everybody else in business, that’s successful. The 80/20 rule  is alive and well.  meaning- it’s the 20% of  your valued customer/client base that’s consistently producing (at least) 80% of your revenue!

So allocate more resources to servicing them. or to say it another way; identify your best selling products and services (including) your affiliate products and services, and allocate more resources to them asap!

And by the same token, (two extremely critical points here!) Identify your worst performing products and services and (consistently) poor performing employees/associates and get rid of them asap!

You’ll quickly free up much needed capital, reduce unnecessary overhead! Plus, you best employees/associates will have valuable to devote to your best customers and clients, as well as, have more free time to dedicate to further improving your best performing products and services!
