Hi {FIRSTNAME Friend},

It's been over a month since my last newsletter.

I am slacking!

Actually, I have been too busy. Lotsa stuff going on these
days. Remember a few issues back I took a poll regarding
a new name for this newsletter and site? Well, I decided
to build the new site and keep this one. After all, it
has a slightly different focus. It is more about personal
success, professional success, etc. then about marketing
or sales. Check it out:

http://www.succeedatwill.com

The index page takes from the index page of GPN, but with
some changes. But two addtitions recently are the blog
and the audio interviews.

Blog: http://www.succeedatwill.com/blog

Feel free to post.

Audios:
http://www.succeedatwill.com/audios/audiointerviews1.html

You will love these audios. There are interviews with some
VERY successful people. You can also download the audio
files AND the pdf transcripts.

My newest venture is an extention of my web hosting service.
My business partner and I are starting a new reseller
hosting service. We are in the process of setting up the
data center now and will launch in the near future. It will
be totally branded reseller hosting, full 24 hour support
services and even domain name reselling.

You know {FIRSTNAME Friend}, you can help us out. In two
ways, in fact. We are trying to decide between two names,
AND come up with a logo based on that name. The names are:

PrivateLabelInternet.com

OR

MyInternetTeam.com

(Neither name has a site set up yet, so no need to try to
find it)

Vote on a site name and I will send you a copy of my
Laser Backup program for nothing. Come up with a logo we
like and we'll set you up with a free reseller account for
a whole year. Fair enough? Cutoff is September 30th.

Thanks! I knew I could count on you.

4 Alternative Ways To Gain Lifetime Customers
--------------------------------------------
by Michael Ambrosio

There's an old saying if you're in ANY kind of
business: It's easier to GET a customer than it is
to KEEP a customer. And in all my years in the
service business, no truer words have ever been
spoken.

But at times, it can even be difficult getting new
customers too. There is so much competition on the
internet - so many sites offering so many products
or services.

You will always have more people that turn down
your offer than actually buy. They might not have
bought because of your price, payment options,
or any other possible reason. You will just end up
loosing all these potential lifetime customers.
However, there are many ways you can minimize
the loss of these prospects.

1-One way is to accept barter offers for your product.
Maybe the person can't afford to buy your product.
They may have something you could use in your
business or personal life. If the barter deal isn't fair
enough, either of you could add in some cash. You
may not make money but, they might buy other
products you offer.

2-Another way is to include a negotiation offer at the
end of your ad copy. Tell your reader if there is
something they don't like about your offer, they
could contact you and negotiate a different buying
offer. They may not like your price, guarantee,
shipping methods, payment options, etc. You can
gain a potential lifetime customer by being flexible
with your offer and negotiating instead of loosing
them.

3-A simple way to attract lifetime customers would
be to give people a freebie. The freebie should be
related to the other products or services you sell.
You may not be getting paid for the freebie, but
you will get a lot more people using one of your
products because it is free. If they are impressed
by your free product there is a high chance they'll
buy your other products in the future.

4-The last way is to sell your product at the price it
costs you to produce or buy it. You will usually
sell more products at a lower price than your
competition which equals more potential lifetime
customers. You will break even in cost but you'll
make your profit from the upsell and backend
products your sell your lifetime customers.

I have used all four of these methods with great
success. Both as a seller AND as a buyer. If you see
a product you really want, and you have something of
equal or greater value, contact them and ask if they
will trade.

Bottom line is to be flexible and creative. Do what
your competition is not doing. Those new customers you
will gain will surely remain a loyal customer if they
have an incentive to be.
