With
an order system set-up as described in "The Perfect System"
section of this newsletter, you can expect your orders to be
broken down approximately as follows:
80% through the
secure server
5% through the non-secured server
13% through the 800 number
2% through regular postal mail
I want to state
again how crucial it is to have the ability to accept credit
cards for your orders. As astonishing as it may sound, credit
cards will increase your orders by a proven 400% (compared
to just offering the option of sending in a check or money order).
These simple things mean the difference between making a profit
of $100.00 a day or $400.00 a day.
There is one more
thing I want to say in the closing of this section it is to
"ask for the order". Create urgency. Ask for the order.
Make it easy for the customer to buy. Ask for the order. Offer
a strong guarantee. Ask for the order. Use testimonials. Ask
for the order. Offer a bonus for a quick response. Ask for the
order. Tell them how they are going to benefit by ordering now.
Ask for the order. Tell them what they stand to loose by not
ordering now. Ask for the order.
Speaking of asking
for the order if you have not picked up a copy of our #1 best
selling Internet marketing course called "The Insider
Secrets to Marketing Your Business on the Internet",
check out all the tips and tricks it offers at http://www.marketingtips.com/tipsltr.html.
What you learn in the course will make you thousands of dollars...you
will learn from the best! Between my four online businesses,
I get over 2,000,000 to visit my websites every year, do over
$2,600,000 of business online every year all from one small
office. So I know what I am talking about when it comes to starting
and promoting an online business. In the course, I guide you
step by step on how I do it so you can copy my success. Don't
sit there thinking that your "opportunity of a lifetime"
will come to you soon it is here now. The Internet has grown
at unbelievable rates and made thousands of millionaires over
the last 2 years. Now don't take me wrong, it takes "work"
on your part to make money online - you won't become a millionaire
overnight but the potential to make enormous amounts of money
online is here right now! Don't get left behind! Get on the
fast track to starting an online business or if you already
have one, learn how to skyrocket your profits, from what I teach
in the course (before your competitors do!)! Click
here to check out all the details and what is covered in the
course.
Anyway, back to
"asking for the order". This notion may sound a little
corny, however, it has been proven by top salespeople throughout
this country (including names such as Brian Tracy and Zig Ziglar).
You will increase your closing ratio by at least 80%
by simply asking for the order. It is one of the most
commonly over-looked methods. Many people are
so busy trying to show the benefits of the product or service
and why it is so great, that they assume people will just ask
them how to order, thus missing the boat entirely. YOU HAVE
TO ASK FOR THE ORDER!
Net Fact:
70% of people say they shop on the net, while only 23% buy on
the net. It is our job to get people to make that purchase on
the net by offering something they cannot get anywhere else
and by making it extremely easy and simple to order.
This is the key to increasing your sales!
Side
Note: Because many people have multiple products, they
need what is called "shopping cart software". This
allows a customer to pick up certain items throughout your site
and put them in a virtual shopping cart. Before they exit, they
confirm what is in their shopping cart and pay for the merchandise.
I have seen this software selling for ridiculous prices of $3,000
- $5,000. This software is included free of charge when you
deal with Interlink Advertising Services (contact them by visiting
http://www.marketingtips.com/isp.html
and filling out the submission form). And if you are getting
merchant accounts through Total Merchant Accounts,
shopping cart software is also offered free of charge with their
service.
