Increase sales with CRM software

June 20, 2007 by Tricia

As a former business owner myself I know the importance of being able to keep track of sales, leads and promotions. Unfortunately, back when I owned my business I didn’t have access to well developed lead management software.

If you run a business that depends on sales and leads you should consider purchasing customer relationship management software.

AIMpromote has developed a CRM software program that can be integrated into your system with your website. They’ll actually do this for your free of charge, in fact there are no set up fees of any kind.

Their lead management software is easy to use and has a fast learning curve. Considering that the cost of implementing a new software program into the workplace has to take into account how long it takes your employees and sales team to learn to use the software efficiently I’m sure you’ll see that a program such as this with it’s fast learning curve will cut down training time and keep your sales team working and making sales.

AIMpromotes lead management software will help you improve sales. The key features of this popular CRM software include Sales management, campaign tracking, the ability to create a custom lead list, a lead reseller system and sales force automation, the Lead attention meter, visitor tracking, mortgage lead management, private labeling, and automatic lead distribution.

Visit the AIMpromote website to view a demo of their lead tracking software and then take advantage of the free 14 day trial so that you can try this fantastic CRM software before you buy.

Our camouflage vine

June 20, 2007 by Tricia

Wordless Wednesday

dropmorescarlethoneysuckle

This is my Dropmore Scarlet Honey Suckle vine. It’s huge and hardy.

We have an eye sore of a guide wire in the back of our yard. I guess it’s an anchor wire for the electric pole in our other neighbors yard. To hide this terrible wire we’ve tried growing a variety of vines on the wire. So far it seems that the Dropmore Scarlet Honey Suckle has been the most successful.

It’s very hardy so it came right back after our winter. That’s so nice since the vine is very exposed throughout or cold winter.

Do you use vines or plants in your yard to hide eye sores?

Condos as investment properties

June 20, 2007 by Tricia

When Chris and I were first shopping around for a new home we mainly looked at houses, but we also looked at a few condos.

Having lived in an apartment for far too many years I really wasn’t all that interested in living in a condo so I’m happy that we opted to purchase the house that we currently live in.

I did get some ideas about purchasing a condo as an investment property though and if I ever get enough extra money saved up I might buy a condo that I’d use to rent out.

Coincidentally, while I was looking into condos as an investment I came across the concept of Condo Hotels. These are basically properties that function like hotels but if I have the concept down pat each condo is owned by a separate investor. The management company does all the work as far as taking bookings and serving the clients that book the condos.

Typically these type of condos are not rented out for just a day or two like a normal hotel room would be. No, they are rented for a week or a month at a time. Perhaps by a business person that’s in town doing business for a few months.

It’s an interesting idea. Certainly if you liked the idea of purchasing a condo as an investment property but didn’t want to do all the work of maintaining the condo and making sure that the condo was booked most of the year something like a condo hotel would be a great option.

Another way to promote your website

June 20, 2007 by Tricia

I was just thinking the other day that I’m going to get some business cards made up so that I can promote my websites.

I used to have cards printed out that listed my exotic pets websites so that when I’d go into a pet store that sold exotic pets I could hand out my cards to customers that I met in the store that wanted to learn more about their potential new pets care.

Now that I have a ton of blogs I might as well do something similar with business cards. It would certainly be easier to hand out a card than wait for someone to find a pen so that they could write down your website address now wouldn’t it?

Do you have business cards with your blog or website address printed on it? If so, has it helped you promote your site in any way?

Promoting your blog

June 20, 2007 by Tricia

I was wondering … what kinds of things have you don’t to promote your site?

If you haven’t already, I’d recommend that you add your site to all the big search engines – Google, MSN, and Yahoo. Then get your site listed in Dmoz, Truth Laid Bear, and any a web directory that suits your sites topic.

Niche directories are great to be listed in if your website or blog is about a specific niche topic.

Another thing that I do try to try to promote my site is comment on blogs. Now, I haven’t been quite as good about this lately as I used to be, but it’s a good thing to do. Think about it. When someone is kind enough to leave a comment on your site you probably visit their blog. Especially if they’ve left a great comment. So it makes sense to visit other peoples blogs regularly and leave a comment. You should get some return traffic by doing this and if a blogger likes your site enough they might even add you to their blogroll or write a post about your site.

What else do you do to promote your site?
