4 Why get online? Really simple… Generates more passive income Save marketing dollars Totally measurable Reach more markets Reduce your overheads The internet is the biggest and best marketing opportunity that you have!!

5 Step 1 Does your company have the potential to market online and generate internet sales?

6 Some questions to consider… Can you market online? Will your prospects buy online? Do you have a good relationship with them? Can you deliver your products? Do your prospects have access to the internet? Are prospects comfortable paying online? How much personalised attention do they need? But you will need to distinguish between old habits and entrenched behaviour. I haven’t seen a business yet that can’t get online in some way.
