    Launched new update that makes sure users have to be logged in before they interact with the site. Analytics stopped working for some reason and I got tied up with life stuff that distracted me. Got fed up with my job and while browsing new job opportunities this morning I decided to check in...

    QUESTION 
    I have a website where service providers can Verify their listing and receive phone calls for free. Now, all the website copy points to Verify Now (no credit card, no upfront fee, no contract). They verify. They get a phone call lead. That lead uses their services and pays them, becoming a...

    MINDSET 
    Is it even possible for a small business owner to land big deals with hospitals or airports or government agencies? Don't these kinds of places have long lasting relationships with huge corporate entities? Where do you even begin to get in with these people when you can't even get past the...

    I've been in sales pretty much my whole life. I've studied the Zig Ziglar, Grant Cardone, Brian Tracy stuff. I've read all kinds of sales books. And today I thought to myself... Why do salespeople exist? Ray Kroc was a salesperson. McDonald's has a 100% closing ratio. My friend owns a pizza...

    After talking directly with the market this past year and give it what it wants, I drafted quick plan on the changes that need to be made in order in to get it done. #1: Need to be able to track which users call which service providers. I already had GA4 linked up to the site and an event...

    Analytics question #2 (advanced)

    QUESTION 
    I'm pretty certain that my analytics tracks every time a a phone number is clicked on my website. Since I've installed this tag on August 2nd, it looks like 70 different service providers have been called in almost 3 months. I see that service providers are being called, but I need 2...

    I’ve had a lot of conversations directly with the market. Their responses are usually: “I want to the calls to go directly to me.” “I don’t want to be on a review site.” “We don’t do this for the money.” “We haven’t gotten anything from your site yet.” “I can afford $30-$50 a month, but...

    This market prefers to get the phone calls directly themselves without my screening them. With this law the state is trying to pass, and given how much of a hassle it is being the in-between guy, I’d prefer they get the phone calls directly too. And the users prefer being able to just call and...

    Thank you for your feedback. I experimented with a lead form. That was cool because I had names, and call back numbers. The lead would come to my email. And I’d copy the lead info and text it to the service provider at no charge. Their was several times I wouldn’t hear anything back. Not a...

    I’ve experimented with only having my number on the website so I can talk to both sides of the market. The people in need are usually in a really bad jam and don’t have a lot of money at all (that’s why they’re using these service providers). These people usually go to the first place...
