Added for You - What Can Be Said About Business Formulas, And Should We Use Them?
What Are You Missing? Start-up executives can become too close to the project, to busy managing the minutia, and stretched too thin due to lack of staff, time and financial resources to notice the flaws in their plans. In most cases, the work is extremely hard and requires numerous, long hours that turn into days and then turn into months. It becomes difficult for the Founders, and executives to stay focused on the critical tactics and strategies necessary to lift their company to the next phase in growth.Meetings with trouble-shooting Consultants or venture Coaches can help Founders navigate through the challenging times and rough waters of launching a startup. Experienced Consultants know how to walk the fine line between enthusiastic
You will need 472 visitors per day, not hits.
Now, let’s suppose you’re somewhat hungrier for what’s green and you want to reach a gross income of $100,000 per year and you want to sell a product for $250.00. That’s certainly not unreasonable, especially after you have done your market test. Let’s do the math.
Divide $100,000 by 365 days=$274 needed daily
Multiply $250.00 by .01=2.5
Divide 274 by 2.5=110 visitors per day.
Of course, you can enter your own figures into this formula, but be faithful in doing so in order to ascertain
1. The amount of money you want to earn annually (gross)
2. Establish the selling price of your product
3. Determine the number of visitors you must have daily
4. Capture the e-mail addresses to build your mailing list
No
The last time I spoke and went into a bit of detail on business automation. Today I would like to give you some details of how I actually used it personally so you get to see first-hand what I wanted, how I went about doing it and finally executing it.Last month was Christmas. Of course, having a lot of customers, friends, family and associates I wanted to send Christmas greetings and/or Holiday wishes. So I thought about this and came up with the following criteria.1. I wanted to send greetings to approximately 130 people. These people are in my email list. 2. The greetings had to be personalized wherever possible. 3. The greetings had to have my corporate logo with a link to my web site. 4. The greetings had to divi
Secondly, business formulas give you a way to think about marketing. One horrible mistake made by the uninitiated forager in Internet marketing is not committing to forward planning, or to think of marketing as simply selling something. It would be easy to go to a product source like Surplus Warehouse, pick out a product or two and arrange to add a subject page, a link to your website, or buy banner advertising.
Better you take some time to identify your target market and determine what that market wants to buy, not what you want to sell. Put on your buyer’s pants and shoes and walk around in them for awhile until you are clear what it is the buyer wants and what he will pay for it. You will be led into defining your specific market, maybe taking a survey via e-mail among your representative market prospects. You can prepare a product questionnaire to solicit opinions about product viability, features, benefits, price, etc.
Define your market, your buyer’s profile, and then do some testing of the product or service you wish to sell. You might test a market by using your website and a pay-per-click service. Opt for a plan with a minimum per-click cost. You might not want to spend more than $100 for your test, so tell your pay-per-click provider what your limits are or he might set the parameters for you.
You can collect from your click provider the e-mail addresses of those who took the time to preview your website. Email a questionnaire to those addresses requesting their opinion of the site and the offering, including product details and price. If you have 100 respondents, you may have a significant number who will take the time to answer a 10-question survey and e-mail it back to you. No doubt, you will get some intelligent responses and opinions that may influence you to make some significant changes in your message or product that will benefit you when preparing your next Internet offering.
As a highly successful Internet marketer opined, “Target, survey, create, test, promote, monetize and repeat cycle products.” That pretty much says it all. If you choose to ignore any of the enumerated steps to success, you can virtually erase the word “success” from the equation.
Didn’t I open this missive with some reference to formulas or business formulas? Yep, right there in the headline!
Well, then, I want to throw at you a great formula I’m going to borrow from some top guy in Internet marketing. I wish he were my neighbor, so I could bother him with my profound questions. I like what he wrote:
Traffic Required=(Desired Annual Income/365)/ (gross profit per sale x visitors-to-sales conversion rate)
Let’s see how that works out. You sell a $29.00 product, maybe an information packet. You make $20.00 profit per sale. You want to make $50,000 pre-tax in 12 months and 1 out of 100 visitors buy from you (.01).
Divide $50,000 by 365 days (buyers don’t rest on the weekends)=$137 you need to earn per day.
Multiple $29.00 x .01=.29. Divide 137 by .29=472
You will need 472 visitors per day, not hits.

Do you often find yourself attending to other businesses so much that you forget to look after your own? Maybe it’s time to make time for you!Think of your own small business. In this day and age, you probably have a website, but have you updated the content recently? Are there any quirks on the site that need fixing, that you haven’t got around to? Remember, this website is the world’s shopping window into your business. Is the first thing they see a badly written page? Are there design glitches that ruin the overall impression of your website? And what about your filing system? Do clients and customers call you up and you struggle to find their details? Do you feel embarrassed when you can’t remember their names? Do you

Background searches may become necessary on many occasions. Individuals and companies may request a background check as part of pre-employment screening, pre-business screening, bad debt situations, divorce situations, or several other personal affairs.Background searches, though done discretely, cannot be one sided. Amendments in existing law stipulate that the person who is subjected to the search be notified about it. Thus, the employer investigating an employee, a landlord querying about a tenant, or a parent trying to find out about a prospective nanny are all expected to inform the person about the investigation. The person under investigation has the right to dispute the findings in the consumer report.Identity checks, person

I can’t tell you how many times I have seen an ad offering Free information, a free CD / DVD, or some other similar promotion. There are dozens of products out there that are simply named The Web Design DVD, or The Success Library, or Joe’s Carpet Cleaning Service. And nine times out of ten that is all they will say about their particular free widget, product, or service. These people are squandering a great opportunity to boost their profits – and they don’t even know it.You see the titles of your products, services, and free widgets are very important because they can be a selling tool all to themselves. In the case of free widgets, we know that bonuses drive response and that simply adding a well-thought out bonus can turn a losing

Candy appeals to all age groups, but most especially to children. This is because the countless varieties of candy that are available in the market cater to almost all tastes and preferences. Given this popularity and mass appeal, selling candy has become a popular choice for a fundraising activity, as those who sell them are assured that people would buy their candy. In organizing these fund raisers, one of the most important things to consider is the source of the candy that would be sold because finding a reliable source of candy can lead to the success of the activity.Where to get candyThere are a number of sources that you can tap if you wish to buy a large quantity of candy, which includes manufacturers, wholesalers, retail st

Now you need to establish a profit, don’t you? You can’t spend all of your money on advertising. Maybe you can take out $50.00 per product unit for advertising (in your early stages) and fixed overhead. You want to try to double your money with every campaign. The question will be can you get 100 visitors by investing $50.00 per unit in advertising, including banner ads?
On the conservative side, for example, if you have only $15 per thousand to spend for impressions, you can try sending e-mail messages to opt-in lists. It is common to pay .10 to .15 per name for opt-in mailings.
Always look for free publicity services, ezine ads, associate programs, and other options. Whatever you use, track the results of each according to your criteria: Can I get a sale for $.10, $15 $50.00 or $100.00?
One of the most important statistics relating to your business is your Conversion Ratio. What percent of visitors buy from you? Of course, you need to get the number of your visitors. Some programs will give them to you. You can always add a hit counter to your web site.
Add up your visitors for 4 months. Total the number of sales you had for the same four months.
Your Conversion Ratio=Sales/Visitors. Example, if you had 100 sales and 5,000 visitors, divide 100 by 5,000 and you have a .02 or 2% conversion ration. That is a very good conversion ratio. I hope you do that well.
The formula and ratio I have provided you in this missive are basic and fundamental, and should be employed in your business to give you an effective measurement of how you are progressing in your Internet sales. So much more can be said about the subject of formulas and ratios, but a little math can provide a mountain of benefit when you are trying to steer the ship of commerce.
Best wishes to you and your Internet sales adventure.
