When I read this thread the message I get is that there is a lot of confusion about the whole subject of web
marketingAs a company we have moved from 'shiny shoe'd, pin-stripped sales 'consultants' and tele-sales to generating the majority of our sales leads from the web. these are then followed up by Operational people who walk the talk as they are going to do the job and they speak in the same language as our customers without hard-sell as we simply sell solutions to our customers cleaning problems.
We aren't perfect. We are not world specialists. We aren't selling computers / software / SEO / AdWords or anything like that but we are generating interesting business, taking on extra hands and keeping our heads above water.
If your interested in having a real look at how we do it and talking with my Geek and Adwords man and seeing our operation (which isn't just carpet cleaning!) I am happy to arrange that as long as I can get at least 4-6 people together on the same workday (Mon - Fri so you can see the full operation but if it goes onto Sat, no problem) as otherwise it's too expensive in time and money terms to give such a freebie away.
What's in it for Newlife? If we end up with an ongoing working relationship with just one company which mirrors what we are about, that's fine. We look to the longterm.
Anyone interested please e-mail
shaun.causer@newlifecleaning.com. and let him know. Shaun will get a conversation going with interested people to agree a date and stuff. If anyone needs digs / camping site as we have space, whatever, he will be try to help out with advice etc.
