You can call whatever you want but my method(s) of closing deals are obviously much better and more effective than those practiced by you and your team. I can't tell that you have good marketing experience if you're closing 1 deal out of every 10,000 sent emails. Thanks for your input though. I've always had much higher conversions than others over the years and I've had many people ask how I close deals so well and I never devuldged
Thanks for your input though.

Appreciate your response.
Keep in mind- 10k emails sent are emails going out to small business owners (SBO's) who have not solicited or asked for anything- outbound marketing in essence.
These are Ice cold leads..,people who can USE our services, but have not requested or contacted us. So out of those, a fraction of a % will respond naturally. Sure..you could buy leads
from others who have already been prequalified and purchased similar services, but we opted to create our own leads.
Now out of the 10 responses from people who ASKED for more information (those moderately interested and essentially IN bound leads) we closed 10%.
Now like I said, I don't know what magic fairy dust you are sprinkling on your leads, and I would suggest this is the missing piece to the success of your 'Method'..and it appears
that you are not going to share it- which further fuels my doubt about the validity of this post.
1) Local.com I know their top salesperson and he does not close anywhere near this rate, on IN BOUND LEADS. Hotter by far than your leads..naturally. And with a recognized brand.
2) reachlocal.com Same thing- they do not close anywhere near this rate and are a leader in the SBO ppc/seo market, funded by public monies.
And countless others whom which I network with.
Like I said, I am no newb in this market, and have tested mailers and emailing to SBO's and these #'s just don't add up.
Do the math people: "I was able to create a whole site in about 2 hours and gathered a list of 50+ Dentists within 30 miles from me and had a total of 19 (
$3,800)"
Assume all 50 dentists opened those emails. A) How many emails went to the decision maker? Not all of them, I assure you. Some will be the dentist, some will be a marketing manager
of the dentist operation etc. And to even get ACCESS to the right contact email is difficult (no, whois will rarely get you the proper decision maker contact)
But you had 19 sales out of 50 emails. Most emailers will tell you that their open rate is rarely above 20%. But assume you got 100% open rate..which is absurd BTW..
Then you closed 38% of those people that opened the emails. No phone calls. No follow ups. No in person meetings for legitimacy or validation of your offer and business.
Just signed up, just like that.
Seriously Veyron...gain some cred here on BHW and spill some legitimate details and #'s..because any marketer who knows the market as I do knows reality. These #'s are literally impossible to achieve.
