Hi there

First things first - a last minute reminder for all of you South East Queenslanders (women and men) about the Australian Businesswomen's Network "An Evening with Entrepreneurs" on Wednesday 20th April. Magnificent prizes include a fabulous gift box from Perfect Potion and a night for 2 Palazzo Versace Hotel on the Gold Coast.  Wow!  
Click here for all the details.

Well, I'm (that's Dennis) back after a week in Victoria I went to see my kids - 4 of them - in Hamilton. And left Narelle home to do all the work!!  Just amazing how quick they grow - Jake's 18, Jess 16, Tim 15 and (little!!) Adam is 14.  So far, I think I'm still taller than all of them, but Adam's (maybe) level with me.

The weather tricked me too.  I was all geared up for cold wintry conditions (as you may know by now, we live in sunny Brisbane - beautiful one day, perfect the...).  So, Narelle arrived home one day with enough gear to trek the Himalayas..... 

But you know the worst of it?  I got there and the only climactic problems I had were the sunburn and heatstroke - it was beautiful!  Anyway enough about me... and something new for you.  Our eNewsletter will soon change to be delivered on the first Wednesday of the month, and be monthly thereafter. 

Today's feature article provides information about websites and how to get the most out of them - and we launch a new (Real Estate) Mini Website service to help you push your business growth.  If you are in another industry and think it sounds interesting, let us know, we may be able to do something for you too.

Warm regards, Dennis and Narelle 

Make Your Web Site Work for You

by Dennis McMahon and Narelle Stratford

In this article, we're assuming that you or your company, office or chain has a website.  

If, after reading this article, you're not satisfied with the website you've got, you can do one of two things:

  1. Fix your website (or get it fixed by your web people) to make it generate business for you

  2. Where that isn't possible, because it's a corporate site, get your own personalised website with the Sales Champions Real Estate Mini Website

If you haven't got your own real estate website yet, you should definitely check out Sales Champions Real Estate Mini Websites! Only AUD$24.95 mth for your own website including hosting - and you can cancel at any time.

OK, now sure your Web site looks great (at least we hope so), but does it get enough visitors and then does it convert enough of those visitors into leads that you can follow up? 

Converting enough visitors into leads is the difference between a site that is a lead generating money maker, and one that is just an online brochure.

Other Services we offer

Your Web site should provide you with many chances to generate leads and deliver new business to you. 

But, for your website to be successful, you need to judge it on 3 things:

1.  Visitors

2.  Capture of those visitors contact details
    (to convert them into leads)

3.  The value of those leads to your business.

Visitors

Is your website attracting enough people?

First you need to offer people a reason to visit - some websites offer prizes, specials, discounts - most however, focus on the information that they can provide to prospective clients.

Information should be your choice too - because you are the expert aren't you?  So your information and knowledge is valuable isn't it?

So having established that it is your knowledge that will attract people to your website, you will achieve more visitors by using both off and on-line marketing such as:

On-Line

Off-Line

So, in summary, you should be following a "TCM" approach:

T = Target: Attract the right (targeted) prospects to your Web site that want the information you can offer them and are looking to use your services.

C = Convert: Convert those visitors into leads by asking for their contact information in return for giving them some of your valuable knowledge.  This then allows you to follow them up and generates business for you.

M = Measure: Measure the specific results of both your off and online marketing campaigns to streamline your marketing in the future.

If you would like to know more, email us at webinfo@saleschampions.com.au

But check out the Sales Champions Real Estate Mini Website first- it may solve all of your problems.  

And there's a special offer on the Mini Website until midnight Friday 15th April - 1/2 price set up fee and your first month free!

Healthy Living Announcement

Feeling Stressed?
Ready to Explode?

Did you know that stress could be the cause of your indigestion, diarrhoea, skin rashes, constipation, anxiety, low energy, feeling agitated, anger, menstrual problems, excessive smoking,
binge drinking and lots of other little things,
 that aren’t so little if you’re the one who’s got it?

Call to discuss your situation - the first 15 minutes is Complimentary, because you will want to find out what options there are to help you first, won’t you?  

Then make an appointment to suit, so that you can be coached through it, or learn how to manage it, or be hypnotised, or to just plain let it go so that you feel better.  

Wouldn’t you rather get help now, before it’s more serious?  Yes, you can call Narelle now on Mob: 0412 251 196.   Phone consultations are available and face2face from Pilates and healing centre, 19 Dornoch Terrace, Highgate Hill, Brisbane. There are great Pilates classes there and bookings are available on

Healthy Drinking!

We met Greg a wonderful guy from Brisbane's Vineyard, that has a great range  of wines with added anti-oxidants which help to block cell damage caused by "free radicals" or carcinogens.  There are red and white wines, healthy coffee and a ginger punch.  Both the red wine and punch is being scientifically researched and results look promising for health-giving benefits.

So if you like a tipple and want to be able to say you're helping your body, call Greg on  07 3289 5111 or visit them at 1076 Mt Nebo Road Mt. Nebo (Brisbane Queensland).
