Let Your Website Be Your Salesperson

Today I have some classic advice from Ramon Ray. At a time when some small businesses are facing cutbacks in their workforce, his thoughts on an effective Web presence ring more true than ever!

Think of your Web presence as the front line and customer service representative of your online storefront. But unlike adding another employee, our Web solution won’t break their budget! Here’s what Ray writes:

If you think of your Web site as a salesperson, you’ll begin to think of it as more than just a glorified brochure. You’ll even want it to be better designed, since you probably want your sales reps to look good.”

That’s great insight for business owners who don’t see the value in a well-designed, interactive site. And since our clients get unlimited support and a user-friendly platform, it’s easy to create the kind of Web presence Ray’s describing!

In addition, you can get the most out of your site by understanding your customer base and targeting that market. As Ray explains, “Sales representatives also educate themselves about their clients, so they spend a lot of time listening to the customer’s needs and concerns before selling a product or service. The same applies to your Web site…While building your Web site, keep in mind an overall profile of your customers.”

Finally, remember that communication is key! Ray writes, “Ensuring you can communicate to your audience, that they can communicate with you and that your audience can communicate with each other is important…”

It doesn’t get any easier with our Web solution! You can keep in touch with your visitors by sending e-newsletters to draw store traffic, while site visitors are able to communicate with you through a dedicated feedback page. And your customers can communicate with each other, too, thanks to our product review feature!

A Web site can be so much more than an online brochure! It has the potential to be a money-saving customer service and sales tool that gives business owners the power to reach more customers with greater impact.
