Do you think like this?
August 19th, 2009
I have been running a small Glass and Leadlight business in Central Queensland for 28 years now and I’m more than happy to pay $10 for the contact details of someone who is looking for a product like mine. I know my product and I know that I have better service than my opposition. I also know that my price, my guarantee, my materials, and my skills are all better. So why don’t I advertise all this? Besides the excessive cost involved, I’m not the type to blow my own trumpet, although sometimes you have to. I’m happy for my product to speak for itself. Word of mouth has served me well for nearly thirty years.
So why do I see the need to be registered with Best Trade Bid?
I see this as a fair and affordable advertising system. For $10 I get the contact details immediately, of another person that doesn’t know that I exist, or doesn’t have the time to try and find me through the maze of advertising flooding the pages of news papers, phone books and the soporific wall paper called TV.
Wow!! That opens a whole new door of opportunity for me. I imagine this new contact as another advertising agent for me spreading the joy as a satisfied customer. No wonder I have so much work I don’t need to advertise.
I can’t let a new client opportunity slip by. I don’t know how you think, but to me, even though I am flat out with work, I need to talk to potential new clients. Living in regional Queensland, there are potential clients outside my phone book scope, advertising range and budget. Unless they are computer literate having access to the internet, they are not likely to know about my product. As Best Trade Bid grows and promotes it’s free service to people in these regional centers throughout Australia, my service will become more accessible for them, therefore spreading my business to fields previously untapped. I consider the $10 well spent and a good tax deduction. If the inquiring client doesn’t go through with a job, that doesn’t concern me either, I have gained a new contact for my database, so news letters or future sale offers can be forwarded to them. I’m looking for lifetime customers.
Some business owners are a little slow to take on board the way it works and the benefits that come from registration and sure it’s not for every business but I recommend you see how it works and try and think outside the square of traditional advertising. You can list your skills, and services on the Best Trade Bid site at no cost to you. You are given a description of what the client wants and the region in which they require it. You only pay per client when you accept their contact details.
