    Need opinions! Landing page feedback

    IDEA 
    Well done on your first sale. You mentioned "My first customer is filling out her form and seems to be enjoying the process. She's taking her time & uploading some photos which is great to see." This was my immediate thoughts, I would personally want to update some photos text etc and see what...

    My client banned for "Circumventing systems" ~15 months ago. They had basically given up on Google Ads, a massive % of their business and a few million $ in sales was switched off overnight with no notice. I'm onboard as a web developer, but thought I would give it a crack and see if we can get...

    My Door 2 Door sales journey…

    EXECUTION 
    I have no experience door to door sales so take this with a pinch of salt but 4 answers out of 54 door knocks seems on the low end. Did you notice that a larger % of people answered the door when you were shadowing? You are about the save the homeowner money, Knock louder perhaps?

    Progress as a booking agent

    EXECUTION 
    Okay, update time. Had to pickup work external to this new business doing client work as I used to. The business still only makes enough cover our costs as a family. This is not necacarrily a bad thing - I would have been quite happy with that a while ago - but it does mean I've had to take on...

    Progress as a booking agent

    EXECUTION 
    Okay so, Short update. 10 sales this month. Roughly £600 commission. That would feel pretty good if I hadn't spent £400 on ads. (Google ads & Facebook ads) tried a few different Facebook creatives/tactics but nothing really clicked. Ultimately if this is going to work, I need to bring down...

    Taking booking on phone when you also need to get agreement to T&C's

    QUESTION 
    Hi, Does anybody have a good system - or can tell me what's normal practice - for taking a booking/order on the phone where there is also a long terms&conditions that needs to be agreed to? We take booking on behalf of other companies so I need to be sure they have agreed to the terms, but don't...

    Progress as a booking agent

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks Guys. Your probably right Private Witt RE 1) the main problem came when I knew some were pissed of but some just never responded. Having to make that phone call not knowing if they even knew we had listed them or not & how they would react was something I could have done without. In the...

    Progress as a booking agent

    EXECUTION 
    Hi All, I just wanted to start this post - mostly to document for myself our progress. Back in October last year after reading MJ's book(s). The fact I didn't need to reinvent the wheel but instead I could just take something that sucks & do a better job of it. That leads me to the idea of...

    Just secured our first sale Havn't worked so hard to secure so little more and have been happy to do so since I built somebody a website for like $10 when I was 14 or 15 on Elance/oDesk. Things seem like they are starting to click into place however so fingers crossed that the second sale takes...

    I've been working for the past 3 or 4 months on a new business as an agent for a niche of holiday providers. Got two initial booking requests this morning & now just need to seal the deal on Monday over the phone. Been a long time since I had this nervous feeling about something business related...

    Back to business - intro

    INTRO 
    Hi Everyone, I've been here a month or so now so I thought it was time to introduce myself. When I was in my teens & early 20's I was pretty entrepreneurial, but danm it was hard work back then, I spent so much time & effort & at the end of it all I had an average salary for many X the effort...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    For me: Figure out how people want to use our website functionality - by helping them on Livechat & implement it. E.g sometimes they don't want to search for a specific date as our design currently assumes.

    Bought a Narrowboat Today. Leveraging it for Fastlane.

    EXECUTION 
    Hello, from a fellow "continuous cruiser" down in the peak District. Nice to see there was a survey done (based on the chalk markings).

    Loved the format which was super helpful in cementing some of the ideas from TMF - Where can I order the soup?
