I have to say first off congratulations on your success! Those are awesome numbers and I not meaning to be negative but I am really amazed that you had those call backs and sales as I have sent probably 300 video emails with a screenshot of sites and mobile as well as several hundred more with near the same email as you describe with only one response and they didn't even open the email after asking how much. I use spy pig with gmail sent as my domain name so I do know which ones get opened and of course can see if they watch the video because youtube shows the views. Your results are simply amazing and I am wondering if you might share the actual email that you sent to get those? If not, I understand but I have been trying to sell mobile for a while and seriously all in all must have sent over 1000 emails with not one sale. Anyway, really congrats on your sales and for taking action. I wish you the best and a whole lot more sales Kim |

Robert, you're doing good and I am happy for you. But trying to sell mobile websites is like pulling teeth - it's a very hard sell. Makes no sense, because local biz should be breaking down the doors on us trying to get this! With all the potential it is a no-brainer - but they have a hard time "seeing" it - even though it is mentioned on the news daily that mobile is going big, etc. SMS, QR codes, lead gen, coupons, mobile search, etc. Mad opportunities! ...yet, it is still a hard sell. I work the local scene for SEO and Facebook marketing and even with current clients - mobile sites are a tough sell - it shouldn't be this hard, ya know. |

Thank Robert for your advise. I will look for that product. I don't have trouble creating this mobile websites same as desktop websites. I am a web developer. I am just stuck with selling. I think I am afraid that a client will say NO. I can create mobile websites quick, I have hundreds of templates sitting in my computer, do you think it's worth selling them 25$ or 30$ each mobile website? What I have in mind is just to get reputation from this companies and upsell sms marketing later. Please advise. |

Also, who are you contacting? I tried salons and have a potential "dog groomer" wanting a mobile site. And here I thought I was trying for human salons. See,, you jsut never know who might want a mobile site. Dog groomers and bailbonds,, go figure. | |

I will really appreciate it Robert. If you can PM me your skype, we might end up of something we can make both big money. Code: Subject : Where are you located? (47 replies out of 350 emails sent, 1 sold for $197. Lawyer) Subject: You are LOSING Business! (2 replies out of 220 emails sent. The reply was please remove me in your mailing list.) I usually search on my smartphone for a Dentist to visit. Are you aware that your site isn't visible (at least not correctly) on mobile phones? I saw that you didn’t have a mobile website yet and the majority of people I know use their phones to look for Dentist in the internet. I actually build mobile websites that are optimized to be viewed on phones and iPads so I went ahead and made your mobile site already! I hope you don’t mind but it turned out great. If you’d like to check it out feel free to e-mail me back to see it. Kind Regards, Renan Corbes | |

I've built many Wordpress sites for myself and clients, using my own hosting account. I know how a redirect script works, and would be able to put it on one of my own websites in my own hosting account. BUT... working with a new client's existing web developer seems very tricky! I have to think the existing provider would like to take the sale away from us. And we're dependent on their cooperation? We need to give them the mobile website files to upload to his client's hosting account, and then put the redirect into their existing desktop website? This is the biggest stumbling block in the sales/technical process for me. Can you elaborate? Thanks! | |

Congrats!! Your post is encouraging Quick questions? You partially answered it already regarding the current website and current web designer You make a NEW mobile website for them, with just a mobile redirect? how do convince the business owner to not just contact their current web design guy or website source? Do you see in the future this being problem, maybe the current web guy being contacted and then the business owner just deciding to do business with his current guy? Just seeking advice for potential conflicts in my future. I guess it is what it is at that point, you just gave a free Upsell to some guy,company who isn't even on his game |

It depends on the redirection script you're using. Sometime the ftp details are enough. Sometimes you might need their hosting cpanel login if they want an m.domain.com mobile syntax and sometime you might need their Wordpress wp-admin login for you to setup the redirect(if you have an redirection plugin for wp) Hope that helps. |

That's awesome that you are having success in the local mobile area. The thing I experienced is that owners are not too up to date on technology, so it takes some convincing. I was doing some RIA for some local businesses before I even attempted anything mobile with them. Are you having any problems landing them without RIA. That's my only issue. I don't want to put in the time, then not have anything pan out. I might outsource the local business deals. Do you outsource much or do it all yourself? |

Thanks for your help man. Are there any cons against using Google's mobile site builder? It's completely free. On the other hand, what are the pros for paying for another platform? Thanks again.

Congrats on your success - it's action like yours that gets civilisations built. Thanks for the Yesware tip. I've have just gone and installed it. I've used Spypig, which is good but doesn't do link-tracking. And I've been using Bananatag which is great, and DOES track links. But Yesware seems even better, since it gives you the ability to save email templates - defeating a limitation of Gmail itself with its useful but limited 'canned responses' feature. Thanks for sharing, and see you at the top. | |

Very inspiring story indeed. However, you got lucky the first time by landing a $1000 client. The important thing is to keep getting clients on regular basis using this strategy. By the way, from where does the localizer leads tool get its data from? Is it from Google business listings or what? |

What an awesome thread, thanks for posting Robert. Something else you might look at in your arsenal is Google's mobile checker. It will even spit out a cool report you could use if you were to meet face-to-face ... Test Your Site I absolutely LOVE the hook of not being able to view their site on your phone. When they come back and say their site looks fine (and it's not a mobile optimized site) they may need to be educated on what people search for on their phones, and how full versions of their site load slow, and are difficult to navigate. I think I'm going to try that subject line with my prospecting messages to Facebook business pages ... btw ... would love to have you in our Facebook group ;-) ... Scott |

Hey RobertX Firstly congrats for you success. Making a deal of 1200 bucks is good as there are people offering services at as low as $5. Since you are having all the WSO and a nice development team try to get more from your customers. I have been dealing with a few clients who are happy to have their mobile website build by our firm paying lowest of 8000 bucks and more according to the complexity of the websites. |
