Working Less and Making More is very doable
especially in the Internet Marketing business.
By using technologies like autoresponders, you can
really duplicate your efforts many times over without
increasing your overhead expense while at the same
time working a lot less...
Answering Emails on a daily basis is one of those
necessary but tedious and time consuming tasks
which can overwhelm you.
If you've reached the point of exhaustion trying to
keep up with answering the mountain of emails that
threatens to bury you alive every single day, you're
ready to learn about autoresponders.
The bad news is that people expect prompt replies to
their email inquiries. However, unless you can figure
out how to work continual twenty-four hour shifts, or
hire enough people to constantly monitor incoming emails
(while they're eating up your revenue), you have a problem.
The good news is an autoresponder is an inexpensive method
of quickly responding to emails. What these programs do is
automatically respond to incoming emails as soon as they
are received.
Emails are essential to your business for many reasons.
Most importantly, these invisible email voices give you
their feedback about your website. However, if you spend
all your working hours answering these emails, how are
you supposed to run your business?
The answer is simple: use autoresponders.
Autoresponders are programs that automatically respond to your
emails without you so much as having to click on your mouse.
There are a number of good reasons why you need an
autoresponder besides just answering your email.
For example, autoresponders can be used if you need a way
to send information about your services or products, price
lists, or if there are repeated questions asked across large
numbers of emails.
Maybe you want to offer your site visitors a special bonus
of some kind, such as advice or relevant articles. All of
this can be handled by an autoresponder.
Additionally, you can advertise your business and then build
stable relationships with your customers thru autoresponders.
Autoresponder programs vary from software that runs with
your email program to a specialized script that runs on
your web hosting company's server or a third party software
running on the company's servers.
This kind of script may use a web page form or simply operate
with your email account. This kind of script is programmed to
send out a standardized message whenever an email is received.
The message is sent to a particular script or email address.
Some autoresponders can do more than simply send out
standardized messages. They can send out an unlimited
number of follow-up messages sent at predetermined
interval of time.
For example, you can set your autoresponder to send out a
new message every day for as long a period as you desire.
Your website hosting company often provides autoresponders
as a free service. If this is not the case with your web
hosting company, there are numerous companies who offer
this service for a small fee.
To personalize your autoresponder messages, you can attach
a signature. Signatures in this case are much like business
cards. You can include your name, company, all your contact
numbers and addresses, and a brief message.
It's a good idea to attach a signature to every email that
is sent out. This works as a repeated reminder of your
business identity every time a customer sees it. The more
they look at your signature, the more likely your company
will spring to mind when your particular service or product
is needed.
You can create a standardized signature that every person
in your business uses, or you can go wild, and let every
staff member create their own personal signature.
Of course, like everything in life, there are some rules
and guidelines to creating a personal signature.
Keep the length of your signature between 5-10 lines
of text, with no more than 70 characters in a single line.
Make sure that your email program does not cut off your text!
You may include your name, your company name, your email
address, fax number, and any other contact details, such
as 800 numbers.
Lastly, always include a short personal message about your
company. It should be a subtle sell of your services or
your products, and possibly your company's reliability
and longevity.
