Calling all resellers...

Ok... I am new at the whole offline SEO sales bit but I have been building my own sites for about a year and a half now. I do have a thorough understanding of SEO and the such.

So I decided to go offline because I is greatly needed in my area with not a lot of competition. I set up a website and got hooked up with an SEO reselling company. I went that route because I figured they will be able to do a much better and well rounded campaign for my clients.

My question is...
What is your process in dealing with the reselling company?

Do you cold call businesses to set up a meeting then go to your reselling company for a proposal?

Or...

Do you cold call businesses, conduct a meeting with the "successes", then go to your reselling company to create a proposal?

I am with the company EndlessRise. If anyone else is doing business with them please PM me.

Also, on these forums it looks like most of you do all the work yourselves. Maybe some outsourcing to eLance, Odesk, or Fiverr, but not connected with any reselling company. Is there a reason for this? Something I should know?

    The idea behind re-selling is that they are your back end. You sell it as if they are your very own services, which in fact, they are.
    You don't do anything different to how you'd do it if you were doing the SEO yourself. They have packages with very clear guidelines as to what is provided, so you just package stuff up however you want: whether as a direct copy/past of their services, or a mix n' match or whatever.
    Selling it however, should be no different at all.

  • Along with what Aussie said, and the reason many do not outsource is that fact of who are you going to trust the most to do a good job? Yourself. The company you are reselling to, outsourcing to, or etc may have 100's of clients ... they drop the ball on one ... oh well. And your stuck not only with the loss of money, but the bad reputation on failing that company that will blame you :-)
