Interesting marketing strategy you've got there.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone -
Are you serious? You think you can walk into ASDA and ask for recruitment advice? It's not their business to provide you one and they focus on what they do best. We focus on our customers - people who understand value of data and they can use it effectively. If you value your website then hire some SEOs who have a clue and they'd know the value of our data.Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostInteresting marketing strategy you've got there.
One of the main tasks for any viable business is to know who your customers are - this can be very small target market, everyone else might not be. Take ESure.com - they target specific market of people with 4+ years NCB. That's what they do - they focus on THEIR customers and politely decline others.Comment

You said that your product would remove the need for cold calling yet you are not prepared to explain why. Instead you sneer and hide behind technical jargon. You may know your customer but you certainly do not seem to understand the first thing about how to engage him.Originally posted by AtW View PostAre you serious?

I said the above - it does not say the product removes "cold calling", I said KEEP cold calling, maybe in 10 years you'll get it.Originally posted by AtW View PostYou missing the point.
Backlinks can help explain WHY people rank ahead for certain queries.
This means instead of trawling for data you can actually get business come to you. Keep cold calling, maybe in 10 years you'll get it...Comment

I know how to identify time wasters - you. It's not suprising actually - you stand out from our customers because they COME to us for data, they are ALREADY on the path, they KNOW what they are seeking for and we've got it.Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostYou may know your customer but you certainly do not seem to understand the first thing about how to engage him.
This means less time waste - you don't suprise me since you (by your own words) engage in cold calls, meaning trying to get engaged with people who want nothing to do with you
Frankly an agent who does call calling, admits to lieing, does all sort of "normal" stuff now lectures me on marketing strategy

I think I see the problem
Due to this being compared to Google the assumption is that it is similar to Google when it is quite clearly not.
I would imagine Google Analyticals is more similar to your product than the google which we all know and love as a search engine.
Which in essence for the average joe on the street means nothing because I cannot use your site in the way that I can use google and so the comparison in terms of discovering over 1 trillion (or whatever) websites is kind of pointless -- from an average Joe point of view.Comment

So explain how what you do would benefit a humble little recruitment agency?Originally posted by AtW View PostI know how to identify time wasters - you.

By the way I did a Google search on "backlinks" and "SEO" I now know what they do/stand for (I also found some porn
)
