In just fifteen short minutes you can increase your
sales by over 100%!
If you think that is a fantastic claim, just pay
attention for the next few moments. I am going to let
you in on a little secret that I've shared with one of
my clients that has more than doubled his sales. Very
few people have discovered this techniqueso you can
be one of the first. Best of all it will cost you
absolutely nothing to implement this powerful little
secret.
Many web site owners, some unintentionally, don't
disclose any more information about themselves than
their email address. This leaves visitors to their web
site feeling wary of buying from them. People like to
know who they're dealing with. They like the feeling
that if they have a problem they can actually pick up
the phone and speak to a real live person 24/7. Already
I hear the protests.
"Hey, I've got to get some sleep!"
"I'm not earning enough yet to get an answering
service."
There is a solution. Remember that the central idea is
not to be available around the clockbut to give your
clients the feeling that you are a real live person who
is available when needed. They will want to know that
you can be trusted. Here's how you can accomplish this
goal.
Sit down and create a short, professional looking bio
page explaining who you are. You don't have to go into
great detail. Write enough to make your visitors feel
like they know you a little better, but not so much
that they get bored out of their minds and leave.
Here's a quick list of things you should remember to
include in your bio page...
1. A picture of yourself in your working environment
(ie. if you're a gardener, put a picture of yourself
working in a garden).
2. List your credentials and past successes.
3. Don't be afraid to write a little bit about your
personal life. People will feel like they know you as a
person, and not just another guy trying to sell them
something.
4. A bio page is another great place to add a few
testimonials.
5. Tell them how to contact you. And don't just give
them an email address. List your mailing address
(preferably not a P.O. BOX) and your phone number as
well.
(If you don't feel like giving people your home phone
number, you can sign up to get a toll free number at

and call forwarding service plus some other really
great features. Best of all, it's free.)

This works, folks! One of my clients did exactly what
I'm telling you to do now and it doubled his sales.
It's that powerful.
So get to it. You can have your very own bio page up
and running in no time at all. The important thing is
that you actually do it. Too often people will read an
article, decide that they will do what it says, and
then end up never doing it. Stop just deciding to do
things, and do them! This tip alone will help you far
more then any how-to article ever could.
