Create a 1 Step System and Start Making Money!
Author: Mike Dillard  | Posted: 27-08-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 23 | Rating: (54)  (?) 
A 1 step system, if put together correctly, can sky-rocket sales in your business. If you have your own business you know the frustration associated with trying to find interested customers and clients.
I know the frustration you are dealing with, because I've been there too. The sleepless nights spent wondering how in the heck you're going to actually have some sales to help counteract your increasing debt.
You probably have a knot in your stomach too, am I right? Of course I am. You have spent thousands on newspaper ads, going to seminars, and buying a bunch of so-called "leads" from an MLM company.
You thought that may be the last step to success, but you came up empty. The owner of that MLM is probably sitting in a fine restaurant right now, dining on caviar and champagne while laughing at your naivety.
It's okay. They've laughed at me too. Hundreds of times. Because I was truly in your same spot. I quit my corporate job and good salary for this sure-shot business system that I knew would rake in the bucks for me right away.
Well, it didn't work out so well. Instead, I worked as a waiter six nights a week to survive while trying to make a go of my new business. Nothing worked. I even moved to California to learn from a big wig in my network marketing organization.
Came up empty after four months and had nothing but credit card debt to show for it. Even sold my mountain bike(the same one I won two state championships on) for $3,000 to buy advertising. The result of that advertising...nothing.
People didn't want to talk to me because they thought I was just another salesman trying to get my hands into their pockets to steal their hard-earned cash. Looking back, I can understand why they felt that way.
I kept on that way for months, thinking I would never make a profitable business without ripping out all of my hair first.
But then, the answer came to me. I needed to make my leads come to me, instead of the other way around. Once I figured it out, it seemed so simple.
I created a one-step system that captures leads automatically for me. And as we know, leads generate sales when garnered correctly.
Once you think through the one-step system, it will make perfect sense. You wil develop a way of creating and strategizing a marketing plan that will use a variety of tactics to bring the customers to you.
What is my one-step system? And how can leads generate enough sales to make you mountains of money in a relatively short period of time?
Well, it goes back to marketing. I found the right mix of marketing tactics that appealed to my target audience. Once I was able to engage my target audience, I directed them to a website where they could enter their name and e-mail to receive more free information.
This is basically the one-step system. They are engaged to go to your website and in one step; they will enter their name and e-mail.
If they give you their contact information, you know you have an interested customer, and you can correspond and build a relationship with them through e-mail. However, make sure that in each e-mail the person has a chance to unsubscribe from your mailing list. Be legitimate and don't force something at someone if they don't want it. And whatever you send them had better be of great value.
So, in short, the hours upon hours that I spent combing through leads purchased through a lead company were really a waste. I spent too much time spending money on crap instead of spending that time to hone what I was selling.
Now I'm able to use marketing tactics, both online and off, to create demand for my products. Then, in one step, I can obtain users' information quickly and start to build a relationship with them. Oh, and did I mention that I spent about half as much to find new leads than I did when I bought those expensive lists from those lead company crooks?
So, stop being so frustrated! Do as I did and use a 1 step system to capture leads automatically. Leads capture sales, and you won't find an easier way to capture sales than with this 1 step system. Trust me, you and your sanity won't be sorry.

What About Wong's Involvement in Port of LA's Pier 400?
By: Janet Gunter | 29-07-2008
Why is no one looking into Mr. Wong's involvement in the Pier 400 debacle? Wong was also President of the Harbor Commission & conveniently switched to the airport commission. Meanwhile, $108 million dollars of Federal money which was awarded to the port under the predication of "public safety" for the creation of an "Energy Island" saw it's relocation site for hazardous chemicals turn into the single largest container facility in the US exclusively for Maersk-Sealand. It's been alleged that Wong was, in fact, working for Maersk. Public safety was surrendered for this commercial venture. Why is Wong's participation in this not being investigated? The Port is where Wong first encountered the Evergreen/Eva Air Corp. on which issue he was convicted. Does anyone really believe his hands weren't in other pots?
