We are about halfway through the workshop and it is great! I am attending the workshop as I wish to start to generate more enquiries for my business - Credit Control Solutions Ltd. I have recently had a new website developed by Mike Perk of World Wide Creative. The increase in traffic and enquiries since the re-design is phenomenal ! I wish to continue to build on this increase in traffic/enquiries by starting and managing my own blog. I also wish to find other relevant bogs on which I can make comments thereby improving traffic and enquiries still further.
I must confess, although I had heard of blogs before, until recently, I did not realise that they could have such a positive effect on my business. I wrongly assumed that a blog was something similar to MSN Messenger or Myspace.
I believe that a blog will help me to create my "Personal Brand". This will in turn help me to convert more sales through my business. After all, people will only buy from people that they like and people that know what they are talking about. How else can you demonstrate this if not by means of a blog? A blog, in my view should help to break down barriers, establish relationships and improve credibility - it does this by encouraging two-way communication.
I am firmly committed to the sayings "What goes around comes around" & of course the BNI adage "givers gain" This means if you do your best to help people, good things will happen to you.
In my view business owners are insane to dis-regard the power of blogging. A workshop such as the one I am attending today is invaluable to ALL business owners. I believe that my re-designed website, coupled with blogging should increase our turnover by as much as 100% within the next 12 months!
Lesley and Karin are brilliant workshop tutors - give them a call "you know it makes sense"
