She had been doing okay financially, but it had been tough for her since 2008. She was getting some business, but nowhere near what she wanted. She wanted her phone to ring off the hook with new customers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reviewing Lisa\u2019s business website, we found the problem instantly.<\/strong> You couldn\u2019t find her gym online. With the internet being the business locating resource of today, her business essentially didn\u2019t exist because potential clients couldn\u2019t find her.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what we did:<\/p>\n<p>Lisa had done a great job on website design. What it was missing, though, was that it didn\u2019t generate leads. <strong>We redesigned it using our proven marketing formula for website success.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Then, we started writing content for Lisa, by way of articles, blogs and social media posts and distributed it to the 100 channels we use to get our clients online presence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happened for Lisa?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Month 1 \u2013 zero new customer calls.<br \/>\nMonth 2 \u2013 one new customer call.<br \/>\nMonth 3 \u2013 three new customer calls.<br \/>\nMonth 4 \u2013 38 new customer calls.<br \/>\nMonth 5 \u2013 56 new customer calls.<br \/>\nMonth 6 \u2013 102 new customer calls.<br \/>\nMonth 7 \u2013 256 new customer calls.<\/p>\n<p>It didn\u2019t happen overnight for Lisa, but internet marketing takes time. Imagine these results with your business. A few months from now, you could be fielding calls from 256 new potential clients who are eager to do business with you.<\/p>\n<p>The thought of having that kind of increase may bring on a new set of fears. How will you keep up?<\/p>\n<p>But, that\u2019s part of the process, right? Higher customer demand could allow you to either raise your prices or expand your business. What a great outcome!<\/p>\n<p>Ready for enough clients so you can raise your prices? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clientsdelivered.com\">Start here &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Picture this.
