| Good morning
<Name> |
| Thank you
for reading our BinB newsletter. We are constantly looking to improve our
service so we thought we'd try a few new ideas over the summer. |
| The format.
People want more news but scrolling is not popular. So we have decided to try
columns... tell us what you think. |
| A "hard
copy" version. Do our readers want a hard copy? Download the PDF below and read
online, print off, carry around, send to others... and feedback. |
It's your
newsletter...
- if these tweaks aren't working for you, let
us know...
- if they work for you, let us know...
- if you're indifferent, let us know!
How can we know what you want, what you
really, really want, if you don't tell us? |
| Is it clear
we want your feedback? |
| We also want
your business... you could have your news in this email... your articles could
be topping the search engines... How? |
| Ask us when
you let us know your feedback. We look forward to hearing from you! |
| Regards, |
Jon

| Creating a
Customer Profile |
 |
| Generating leads is an
important sales activity that plants the seeds of growth for sustainable
business development. A lead is purely a name that you could refer to as a
SUSPECT because their potential to buy is unknown. Before you can qualify leads
to determine whether they have the money, authority and desire to buy your
product or service you need to generate them! When deciding upon which lead
generation methods work best for you and your organisation, it helps to have
clarity on the types of customers you’d like to attract. This means
creating an Ideal Customer Profile to bring direction to your lead generation
activities. The following questions will stimulate your thinking when it comes
to developing your ideal customer profile. |

Advice |

| I was driving down to
one of my clients recently, on a lovely summer’s day, listening to Michael
Gerber who is one of the worlds leading experts on small business. To be
honest, I was only half listening, when suddenly he said something that made me
‘prick my ears up’. |

| Jayne Leighton
Herd |
 |
| Mary Fraser speaks to
Jayne Leighton Herd from Chez-Vous Property Services Limited. Jayne set up her
business in January this year. What is your business? My business is finding
suitable property within the Berkshire and surrounding areas for buyers and
tenants. I work by taking a complete brief from my clients to ensure that I
find the right property for them. Factors discussed with the client will
include property preference, budget, lifestyle and location. My job is to save
clients the research, the legwork, the wasted time viewing unsuitable
properties and I remove the stress from the property process! I concentrate
mainly in the residential market and the service offered is very much tailored
to the needs and requirements of the client. |
