Where I work, we give things away free. For instance, at a diesel shop we give away free grease jobs on the trucks. While were under them, we get to see if there is any other problems that the customer didn t know about. Usually if the problem is bad enough they ll spend the extra money. When they leave, there happy they got something for free, and even happier that we caught a problem with their truck. I gain a lot of loyal customers this way. Plus its a write off on the taxes. Put out flyers around businesses other than your own. Ask other business owners to recommend your services and vice versa. Put out banners that let customers know that now is the time to travel, and that you can fit a vacation into almost any budget. You only live once, have an adventure? Right.
you need to join service clubs and befriend the people who talk about travel. you need to contact all the companies in your city that have branches in other states, you need to offer one free night on your next vacation for referrals, You need to get off the computer and read a few marketing books for God sake nothing comes to those who don t create. if the fifty richest people in your city aren t using you already you might consider wedding planning. Setting goals and finding ways to achieve them is one of the most productive ways to create new business. Stop in and talk to every secretary of every company owner in your city and have them call and use you. Then after you get all the presidents go back everywhere to get all the vice presidents and the controllers and the C F O and G M s then park a brand new car with your ad painted on all the windows right in front of the most used lunch diner in town. too easy drill sergeant too easy....
I can give you advice on many things but i am an expert on Business Telecommunications. I have been in business for over 10 years and i have seen plenty of business trends. The newest trend is in business telephones.Most new businesses are using Hosted VoIP PBX technology. My VoIP provider www.TheVoipCo.com for all types of features and capabilities as well as call center applications and remote workers. They do actually offer call center services (USA based). Do not confuse this technology with Vonage or Magicjack. They are terrible and do not offer the technology i am talking about. Give these guys a call you wont be sorry.Anyway, you should grow your business telephone sales team organically. Good Luck!
