MEET CHARLIE UPDATE: Charlie (not their real name) has decided to talk about doing a website and social media. It took a month, but now they are ready to talk. It went like this:<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: I can’t afford a website<\/p>\n

ME: Your competition is huge in this town. They all have websites. You lose EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER that tries to search you.<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: I can’t afford marketing.<\/p>\n

ME: You can’t afford to let new clients get sucked up by your competition.<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: Print ads at $400 each in the paper did nothing.<\/p>\n

ME: That’s because no one looks for your business in the paper. They look for you online. 77% of searches are on a mobile device, you need them to FIND you.<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: Older people don’t use computers to search anything.<\/p>\n

ME: People in the age range of 45-65 are the highest demographic searching online and using social media at any given time of day or night<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: I have lost 50% of business over the past 5 years.<\/p>\n

ME: That’s because they are finding your competition and going there.<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: I need a website.<\/p>\n

ME: Yes.<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: I don’t know how to do a website.<\/p>\n

ME: That’s what I do, you just have to give me some basic information and then we write it all for you.<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: I don’t use social media.<\/p>\n

ME: Your customers do. If you have a Google Plus page you can control what is searched about your business and have an instant website connection.<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: Crap. I need this don’t I?<\/p>\n

ME: Yes.<\/p>\n

CHARLIE: Give me a quote.<\/p>\n

ME: You’ll have it tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Charlie is making progress. I’ll keep you updated on it…<\/p>\n

Charlie now knows they need a website and online marketing.
\nCharlie is smart.
\nBe like Charlie…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
