<p>“Slow and steady wins the race.”</p>
<p>But, in today’s fast paced internet world – is that still the case?&#160; Does <strong>slow and steady</strong> still <strong>win</strong>?</p>
<p>I would say yes.</p>
<p>Over the years we have helped many, many clients increase their sales via increasing their online impact or “empire.”&#160; I want to share with you one such story.</p>
<p>Two years ago we created a website and started releasing coupons on that website every month or so.</p>
<p>We have seen an increase in traffic every month for those two years and now we are at a 6x increase in traffic from where we started.</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>By just being consistent in delivering content to our users.</p>
<p>So, if you aren’t consistent and need help, contact <a href="http://fonderconsulting.com/">Fonder Consulting</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://fonderconsulting.com/website-management/"><img style="display: inline; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border: 0px initial initial;" title="Define Success on Your Website and Raise the Trophy" src="http://fonderconsulting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Trophy.jpg" border="0" alt="Trophy" width="188" height="347" align="left" /></a></p>
<p>One of your sales reps has just come back from a sales call (if you don’t have sales reps, pretend) and you are in the debriefing meeting.  You are going over how the meeting went and what the outcome was; we can put these outcomes in order of most successful to least successful.</p>
<ol style="padding-left: 240px">
<li>Has a check in hand.</li>
<li>Has a Purchase Order in hand.</li>
<li>Has a request for a quote.</li>
<li>Has a follow-up meeting.</li>
<li>Has a “call me later.”</li>
<li>Has a “don’t ever come back.”</li>
</ol>
<p>You have to do the same thing with your website.  What is a successful user experience on your website?  If you have a website make a list (if you don’t, <a href="http://fonderconsulting.com/website-creation/">we can create rocking website for you</a>).</p>
<p>The list might include a sale if you have an eCommerce website.  The list might include a quote request.  If you are a brick and mortar business, then success might be printing out a map to your location.  Maybe it is a phone call.  Whatever you define success as, just make sure it can be tracked.  You wouldn’t pay a sales rep who didn’t make any sales.  Why keep your website if it doesn’t produce success.</p>
