Internet Marketing Strategy: Enter the age of automation!
By Derek Gehl
Your computer was originally designed to make life easier for you. But
sometimes it doesn't seem that way, does it?
These days, computers are essential tools that, more often than not,
symbolize work for many of us.
Well, it's time to reclaim those hours that the computer was supposed to save
you!
I'm talking about automation. Without a doubt, automating your e-business is
the most cost-effective and profitable thing you can do to turn your small office
or home-based business into a formidable online entity that can compete with
the biggest players out there.
The biggest mistake most newcomers to the world of Internet commerce
make is thinking of their business as an online store.
If you start off thinking that way, that's all it will ever be!
Think about it: If you're a hairdresser, and you try to take your business online
by simply advertising your salon with a web site, you're still limited by how
many haircuts you personally can give in a day.
But if you somehow managed to automate your business then there's no limit
to how much money you could be making!
Unfortunately for salon owners out there, automated haircuts aren't possible
yet. But I guarantee that some part of your online business could be
streamlined through automation!
For example...
Customer service
Without sacrificing the personal touch or your own interaction with your
customer base, 90% of your customer service correspondence can be
automated.
Whether you're answering the most common questions, booking
appointments, sending invoices, or following up with your customers, those
tasks can be done faster and more efficiently when they're automated. And
you can concentrate on the things that can't be!
Product delivery
The faster you deliver your product to your customers, the more professional
you appear. And there's nothing faster than instantly!
Setting up your sales process to immediately send out your product the
moment an order is placed not only makes it possible for you to work on
growing your business, it grows your business for you by providing the
quickest possible service to your clients, and word gets around fast on the
Internet!
If your business isn't automated for constant growth, you'll stagnate. So set
yourself up for success now by automating your business!
