True to its motto, “we live to deliver” FedEx shipping makes a great deal of business in reaching even the most difficult and farthest destinations. FedEx shipping might as well use the song “Get Here” as its theme song.No other company in the world finds all possible measures just to get that pouch, envelope or box to its destination on time all the time. No heavy downpour, typhoon, hurricane, and flood can stop FedEx shipping from doing the extra miles of delivering quality shipping service.Be it on a railway or trailwayFe

<Tis the season when we are wracked with indecision on who to buy for and what to buy. We don’t want to insult anyone, but neither do we want to bust our budgets. Here are some of my thoughts on this dilemma.First of all, this is not a competition or at least it should not be one. The largest or most expensive gift is not always the one most appreciated.Make a list – a short list. Your gift giving list should include your immediate boss and perhaps those co-workers you think of as friends. If this gets uncomfortable because of y
Here are some quick tips of how to design your site to ensure that it is the best it can be:
A Good Looking Site Is Not Good Enough
It is all well and good having a flashy website but your main aim of the site is to convert browsers into clients.
Keep gizmos to the bare minimum and when designing your site put yourself in your ideal clients shoes and ask yourself:
"What would I want to see on this site?
"What colours?"
"Pictures? personal pictures or business?"
Get this type of thing wrong and it will cost you dearly as you only get 5 seconds to grab the visitors attention
Attention Grabbing Headline
What is the main benefit of your service?
What can you offer that other coaches do not?
What problems can you solve for the client?
A headline based upon some of these factors will make sure that the visitors attention is grabbed and that they will be curious to find out more.
Capture The Visitors Email Address
Do this by setting up an auto-responder and offering a newsletter, report or ecourse that the visitor can download right away.
Then follow up with the prospect on a continual basis
Enquiry Forms
Make sure you have got enquiry forms on EVERY PAGE of your website.
Here is an example of what I mean: http://www.lifecoachwebsolutions.com/help.htm
On this form anyone can enter their email address and their name and what they want.
Getting clients is a contact sport. When they are looking at your page content they may have questions on their mind or they may be ready to buy - make it easy for them to contact you without having to go and hunt for your contact details.

<FIRST IMPRESSIONS CAN KEEP YOU FROM OPPORTUNITIESMost people can identify situations in which they dismissed an opportunity that someone else capitalized on later. Often these opportunities were overlooked or rejected because they were perceived as dull, boring, or unpleasant. You may recall the fairy tale of "The Ugly Duckling." It is the story of a cast-off baby bird that is mistreated because it is unattractive to the young ducklings raised with it. Much to everyone's surprise the ugly duckling develops into a beautiful swan. Thus, wha

<From a business perspective, rejection is the best of teachers. Look over your documents. Do you see flaws in your r?sum? you failed to see earlier? If so, fix them. The great thing about the electronic age is that r?sum?s can be cranked out, and out, and out. Tailor the next r?sum? you send out to fit the position to a T. Did your cover letter fail to sell you? Did your follow-up letter do its job?Remember my little buddy, the soon-to-be college graduate? I wrote his r?sum?. After a couple of interviews without offers, he called me, whin

<Safety signs describe a specific object, activity, or situation to be avoided. They usually provide information or instructions about safety at work by means of a signboard. They may be expressed in various ways. Colors, illumination, and sound may be used. These safety signs depend on placement. Prohibition sign generally means a sign, which does not allow a peculiar type of behavior, which is likely to cause damage, or is dangerous.Safety signs are also referred to as warnings of hazards, whether temporary or permanent, at the places wh

<I have talked about how to get donations and doing volunteer work. You are probably wondering what they have to do with gaining business relationships and giving you more business. Through service organizations you will gain recognition and stature, especially if you get really involved. These organizations also give you opportunities to meet people that you would not normally meet through your regular business channels. Even though most non-profits do not promote doing business with each other, it is certainly an off-shoot of membership. When I

Benefits Not Features Please
The visitor comes to your site with one thing on their mind -
"What's in it for them?"
Make sure you keep your sales copy relevant to them and how you can help them solve their problems and what this will mean.
In your content count the number of times you use the word "I" and how many times you use the word "YOU" - "YOU" should be used many more times than "I"
A Picture Is A Must
Visitors are skeptical creatures!!!
You need to build up their trust and they need to get to know you well before they send you the money!!
Therefore, having a picture of yourself on your site is an absolute MUST.
Contact Details
On this page you should have the following:
- Your full name
- Your full address
- Telephone number
- Email address
- Enquiry form
Try to avoid PO BOX numbers if you can as these are synomonous with scams on the internet.
In Summary:
With a lot of thought and planning you too can produce a winning website that will make a real difference to your business.
Having a poorly designed website is actually worse than not having one at all - so be careful when designing your site because your credibility and your reputation is at stake.
My advice to you is to get someone who knows what they are talking about to complete it for you. It will pay off believe me and this will free you up to do what you like doing the most - coaching!
