Blair Multimedia Sales Lead Generation Blog

Google Has Banned Me From Their Index!

Well all my SEO travailles have bitten me squarely in the arse this afternoon.

Dear Mister Blair, you are scum. We have caught you red handed pilfering in the index with several javascipted redirected doorway pages.

OOPS!

I guess I figured out that there is a LIMIT to what you can use as a shortcut to be included on Google's Index. I thought I should try EVERYTHING to evaluate if it works or not

I wonder if the doorway page company will give me my money back?

Not holding my breath.

In any case. Note to self:

do NOT use redirects in ANY pages on my site - or DARE offending the Google Site Quality Department. I will have to go back to PPC for the next 30 days!

Email Sales Lead Generation is Booming

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 01:48:00 +0000

We are growing very quickly as a Lead Generation company. Our lists pull in sales leads at an amazingly fast pace - surpassing my estimates of a 17.00-20.00 CPL week after week.

It's nice! I love happy customers calling me asking when they can do more business with my company. So nice compared to weekends when the server goes down in flames. My email sales leads are closing at an unprecedented high rate. It makes me feel a bit uneasy.

How long can this streak possibly continue?

I try not to ask questions. Just be grateful that the leads keep appearing from the SALES LEADS GODS! LMAO!

I love this business when I am on a streak like this.

Blair Multimedia continues struggling in the organic page ranks. I am doing several things to try to improve that. Not an overnight thing - this SEO issue makes me insane. I am not patient person!

PING MY SITE NOW!

In any case....be careful of Toshiba laptops. The "N" key does NOT work.

Not unless you wail on it EVERY TIME!

Generating Sales Leads from email - fiercely competitive

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 23 Jul 2006 01:28:00 +0000

I have spent the last 2 weeks deeply embroiled in the SEO industry trying to boost my company's organic listings for the term "sales lead" and "email leads"

The top players in the PPC industry on YAHOO and Google's pay per inclusion services are paying ridiculous amounts of money for these terms. I entered in $5.00 per click and was still listed on page TWO for my preferred terms.

What a JOKE! Who is paying 10.00 per click for sales lead clicks? I am astonished. I hate the fact that the web has become TELEVISION!

In any case, what is a business owner to do? I see the same brokers advertising at the top of the list day after day. So I have made it my passion to LEARN the ins and outs of getting GREAT organic positions for my business.

Check back soon to this blog - as I will be posting my nervous breakdowns online as I learn how to get better listings. I need somewhere to vent my feelings!

Sales Leads with Legs

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 17:19:00 +0000

Everyday I am greeted by the happy smiling faces of our telemarketing staff. It's amazing how quickly, however, these smiles can fade by 10AM if the daily sales leads are NOT up to par. Without fail I can tell if a batch of sales leads is going to be "good" or not before lunchtime.

So the question is...what makes a good sales lead campaign? What kind of respondents are "good" versus "bad?"

The answer is not so complicated. A good lead is simply a prospect who WANTS to get your phone call. Period.

Even if the prospect hears the sales presentation and is NOT interested, if he/she is interested genuinely in the offer and cheerfully responds that they DID in fact request information, that lead is a GREAT SALES LEAD!

Doesn't that seem easy? Just deliver a real person with interest, and you have done your job as a lead generation company!

However, the problem is that MANY MANY MANY lead companies do NOT provide you leads that are qualified and interested in your offer. In fact, just the opposite....

An angry irritated prospect who hangs up on you is a BAD sales lead. And the price you will pay in the attitude of your sales people is a BIG price.

Negativity breeds negativity in phone rooms at a cancerous level seldom seen in other similar situations.

Conversely - providing a room with GREAT sales leads promises to generate good will and the opposite snowball effect. This creates the "BUZZ" in the room that the sales manager loves to hear. Excited salespeople talking to excited prospects.

We create leads that create a buzz in your room. And we do it honestly and for a fair price too.

Cost Per Lead - What a hard question!

After looking at the vast difference in CPL for a variety of campaigns, I finally have come up with a formula to answer the age-old question, "How many leads WILL I get for this campaign?"

The formula is simply:

Amount of Money Spent / $50.00

I simply cannot GUARANTEE a sales lead for less than $50.00 until I have had time to test the creative across a series of opt-in lists.

yup - this is a scary number for many advertisers....But it is a harsh reality for SOME offers.

Investment offers - FOREX - COMMODITIES - MORTGAGES - especially seem to be a more expensive and difficult lead to get.

And if you sell INSURANCE and want me to generate sales leads for you - watch out! The price is ridiculous for these leads.

Our company gets the BEST conversion rates for our clients by incorporating new technologies into our lead gathering programs. We use FLASH video and all of it's associated abilities to entice people to LEARN about the offer.

If a picture has a thousand words - then a Flash video has a MILLION words!

Opt-In Email Sales Lead Generation

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 16 Aug 2005 14:48:00 +0000

Sales leads are the golden eggs. But looking for the geese that make these golden eggs has become much more difficult for us in recent years.

Recent SPAM laws have created a difficult time for advertisers who want to use email as a lead generating mechanism. As an advertiser who wants to find qualified prospects, email is perhaps one of the most powerful and cost effective ways to reach new clients.

Opt-in email is the process of sending email to a person who has already AGREED to receive offers of a specific type. Integrity Sales Leads uses a variety of these types of vendors to generate sales leads for our customers. It's an incredible experience to send out a brand new offer and then receive several hundred qualified leads for the offer within 24 hours of sending the email.

Unfortunately the cost per lead (CPL) can vary dramatically between offers. However, as a rule, a sales lead that comes in between $15.00 and $20.00 is a good value.
