Service Businesses
Do you, or could you, sell a professional or personal service?
Use SBI! to build a site with a theme related to your service...
- The theme-based content attracts targeted visitors (i.e., potential clients) from around the world if you have a global market (ex., copywriter)... or around the block if your business has a local clientele (ex., fitness trainer, dentist).
- Your site's content credentializes you in the eyes of your potential new clients.
- Your e-zine (electronic newsletter) builds more and more trust... until you land that "first contract."
- Now deliver a quality service, and you have a new, high-lifetime-value customer!
There is no faster, more cost-effective way to build your client base.
What kind of services can you sell with SBI!?
That depends on you... what service do you perform for others now?
What skill
set or knowledge do you possess that you could sell to others? Finally,
what could you learn and then sell to others? Think! The answer is often right under your nose.
By "services," please do not think of Net-related services
like programming or Web design (although they can and
should be included as possible services). You could be,
or could become...
- a landscape designer
- a cartoon artist
- an import/export specialist for Germany
- an investment specialist in Brazilian bonds
- an expert in Japanese netsuke
- an accountant with special knowledge of tax havens
- a copywriter
- a trainer (of just about anything!)
- an editor for medical articles
- someone who creates indexes for books
- a pharmaceutical expert
- a translator (do you know two languages?)
- rent a house on a Caribbean island
- and so on, and so on, and so on.
People will pay for skills or
knowledge that others (such as you) possess, if it is cheaper for them
to pay for it than it is to figure out how to do it and then spend the actual
time to do it, themselves! So...
As you can see, the possibilities are endless.
And SBI! is the perfect solution,
because it removes all the technology and complexity of building and
marketing your Web site, which lets
you focus solely on growing your business, which means
adding new clients to whom you sell your service(s).
Services fit into two general categories...
1) Services with a GLOBAL clientele
Let's say that you index books for a living (hey, someone has to do
this exciting work!). There's a global market of authors and publishers looking for you! And
you can use SBI! to build a Web presence that attracts targeted,
motivated traffic, and sell your book-indexing service online.
Are you a copywriter? Database programmer? Sales professional?
Corporate/tax expert in tax havens? Home schooling expert? No
matter what you do, SBI!
grows your client base -- best of all, they find you!
2) Services with a LOCAL clientele
For example, suppose you are a Jungian psychologist, offering a variety of
psychotherapy services in Sarasota, Florida. Or perhaps you're a fitness
trainer in Vancouver, Canada? SBI! shows
you how to tailor its power to reach your local market and build a profitable
base of clientele in your region.
Don't sell a service? So a self-evaluation...
What skills set do you have that others would pay to employ on a periodic basis?
Or what could you learn to do? The answer to those questions will tell you
what services you can sell online. Maybe even a dentist in California. And when (not "if") you have
the answer, SBI! provides the way.
