As a small business owner you may already -
- have the lead generation system in place
- be building your list of potential clients / customers
- Communicating regularly through an ezine (newsletter)
- Posting valuable content on your blog
and Connecting through social media (Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin etc)
If you’re doing all this and still struggling to convert prospects into customer, what now? What is the next step? How do I move my potential client from just being curious to a paying client?
