Hi there,
Do you remember FAQ sections on websites? Occasionally you still
do, but for the most part they’ve disappeared.
That’s because a website’s job is to answer a researcher or prospect's
question. If you set up your website to answer your prospect's
questions, you’ll increase sales. Check out this New York Times article
on why.
We offer a complimentary Website Content Assessment. When
would be a good time to walk through your site?
Let me know what works best.

You did an excellent job speaking at the recent 21st Century B2B
Culture event - you have great understanding of social business. Do
you see social business working being effective in B2C?
I had a few ideas on how it could work in B2C that are related to your
recent book (which I read). I help B2C SMBs use the internet to bring
their business to the national market.
What’s the easiest way to get 10 minutes on your calendar Thursday
to share how our market expertise can be mutually beneficial?
