I posted a blog yesterday, featuring 3 adverts I have published on my buyers-meet-sellers platform using a plugin I found that does exactly what I want.
Like I explained in that post, the FREE advertising opportunity is for my paid clients who I have a vision to support in as many zero to low cost ways as I can.
Why?
Because my philosophy in business and in life has always been to continually find ways to make others better off from having contact with me. The Science of Getting Rich philosophy that I subscribe to advocates adoption of that philsophy, if one is to achieve authentic long lasting success in life.
The quote below captures the above sentiments perfectly:
“I have found no greater satisfaction than achieving success through honest dealing and strict adherence to the view that, for you to gain, those you deal with should gain as well.” – Alan Greenspan
What follows below are verbatim excerpts of an response I wrote to an enquiry sent to me by a Nigerian gentlman who happened to see the adverts I posted on behalf of my clients.
As shown in the screenshot below, he wrote in as follows:
Good Morning Sir,
I am interested in the UPIB law program. Is this in English? Can I please have your phone number?
To be honest, I must admit that I was not expecting anyone to indicate interest in any of the adverts so quickly – at least not within 24 hours! So when I saw the enquiry I was not quite sure how to handle it, since I hadn’t even spoken with the client about what I’d done!
Long story short, I called up the client and told him about the enquiry, then asked his permission to give his mobile phone number to the enquirer.
See the text below for the details.
I share this post to prove that it pays to use the web in creative ways to attract potential buyers. I do it for myself and get great results continually. Same happens when I do it for clients as well – as shown in this example!
Hi Ola(name partially removed for provacy),
Thanks for your message.
Regarding the Law program, YES it is in English. Incidentally there have been updates posted by the course coordinator himself about the Law Week recently on Facebook.
For example this one: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=1766500850236417&id=100006295578233
In order to give you a proper response, I first had to speak with Barrister (Dr.) Nana ARNOLD this morning, that you’re requesting details of the Law program, which he coordinates for the university as Head of Department.
He has given his consent for me to send you his mobile phone number: (removed for privacy)
You can also send him a message via his contact page on the website at:
http://upib-eng.com/index.php/using-joomla/extensions/components/contact-component/single-contact
(See attached: I’ve taken a further step to send you a photo of his complimentary card that I have in my possession, if that would be of use)
By way of interest, the university – UPIB – is a client for whom I built and have hosted the website at www.upib-eng.com since 2014.
As part of my best practice vision, ALL my clients get to feature ONE free ad on my site – hence the one you saw, alongside those for 2 farm CEO clients in Nigeria.
Dr. Arnold Nana Kouayep (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006295578233&fref=ts)is the Founding Director of Administration and Admission for UPIB, who also happens to be a personal friend, with a private consulting firm I’ve developed various solutions for (see www.nanaarnold.com and www.globalkonsultgroup.com)
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any questions or require clarification. My mobile numbers here in Benin as well as Nigeria are listed in my signature below.
I hope the above story or case study excites you enough to consider investing in using the web to promote your business.
No matter what kind of business you are in, or where you are based, a well developed Web Marketing System can give help you cut your marketing costs, while generating more sales leads for you at very low to zero cost.
