Patience Is a Virtue

I want 10 million visitors to my site a day! A common desire, but not a common event. Banner ads don't work and neither does Internet advertising! A common statement these days, but is it true? Multimillion-dollar Web sites go out of business on almost a daily basis after spending hundreds of millions of dollars in advertising.

Listening + Patience = Success

Many people think that the name of the game in selling is to create satisfied customers. The problem with customers who are merely satisfied, is they are likely to switch to a competitor if they think they can get a better deal. If you expect to achieve big time success in selling your goal should be to create loyal customers. As the late quality guru, W. Edwards Demming put it, "A loyal customer is excited about doing business with you, is willing to wait in line, and gladly pays premium prices. Furthermore, a loyal customer requires no advertising, doesn't need to be sold over and over and continually brags about the merits of doing business with to other potential customers."

Patience, Patience, Patience?

I recently received a call from one of my long-time hosting clients. I had submitted a website design proposal to this client more than a year ago, but the time wasn't right for them back then to have LRS do their web site design. However, frequent, friendly contact, plus support and guidance over the past year, finally paid off and we have been asked to design their site.
