Stuff & Nonsense

What an unmitigated load of piffle. No doubt this has been put out by a firm willing to help your on line presence and perhaps even supply leads for a fee. We have a web site. It’s mainly for the convenience of those new clients who have been referred and want a little more background before the first meeting. I get 100% of my business through referrals and believe me I’m quite busy enough. Not that I get a flood, but what with them and the ongoing work from existing clients I make a living. The very idea to have the great unwashed wasting my time is horrific. I’ll leave that to those who prefer to put themselves about in that way. I don’t have the time (or inclination) to see people who may or may not do business with me. When someone is referred there is no doubt – business is done. I know I’m not unique and I guess the report is probably right in that respect – most decent IFAs get their business by referral. It's a logical outcome. It’s the best way and it is utter nonsense to try and state otherwise.

On Internet Marketing Plan

Yes a lot of people professing they know the ins and outs of internet marketing do not really know much about it. Therein lies the problem as who to trust to sign up for courses and information. And even though you have signed up, information is still not complete and whoever it is you are paying good money to, wants you to sign up for more.

Having the customers you need requires proactive marketing

Any business can be more profitable if it seeks out the right customers, rather than accept the customers who walk through the door. There's nothing wrong with referrals - as long as they fit the right profile. You might be interested in this story of how one IFA changed their business model. http://www.goldsbrough.biz/hjscott
