[M332]May I Take Your Hat Sir

by Pace, Dancy L, Pac

All Online Marketers desire to get the most traffic as humanly possible to their respective website. They try every technique, research method, or training out there without getting results. Granted, lots of visitors are what you want, but, the point is to get more out of them than just a visit. You want the sale along with it. Unfortunately for a lot of online marketers, they mistakenly equate traffic with sales. And, therefore, concentrate their full time and energy on bringing in masses of people to their site without thinking of how to get these so-called visitors to become interested, prospective visitors that take action. This is the key. This action has got to take place. Believe it or not, it may take up to seven trips by your visitor before they decide to ACT! I'll outline each trip from the first to the last. It starts with a total stranger and potential buyer.

Trip One:

To me, this is the most important. With this being their first visit, this will also be their first impression of your site. Therefore, you must reflect in them what I call the “WOW” factor as they look over your site. Here they instantly decide for themselves whether they like what they see or not. If they don't, they simply leave. If they do, they hover around a little longer and proceed to check things out further. They reflect on whether your site is professional, well written, compelling, and offers a relevant product. At this time, if they are impressed, they will provide you with their name and email address in exchange for a reserved spot on the call. You've done it! You've turned these total strangers into, at the very least, interested prospects.

Trip Two:

On this trip they've seen either your content-rich mini course, your special report, or your tantalizing testimonials. They are pumped and can't wait to see more. Their visit is longer this time. They ask more questions and inquire more. Unfortunately, though they are pumped, stay longer, and want to learn more, they are not yet convinced to plug into your offer, not yet, anyway.

Trip Three:

They are now impressed at what they've seen or learned from their second visit. They decide you may offer something of value to them. You were attentive, informative, and pleasant during your call. Slowly, you're building a trusting relationship by answering their questions professionally and honestly. Not only were you able to provide solutions, but you were able to invite them to purchase your affordable e-book for further guidance.

Trip Four:

This is where your prospect takes action! They become a buyer! They purchase your e-book for $19.95!

Trip Five, Six, Seven:

These are all grouped into one because during any one of these visits this usually takes place. Your visitor has now taken an initial action. Great! They loved what you shared with them in your e-book and they now want to learn more. So what do they do, you ask? They buy your month long course. You have now successfully turned your visitor into a buyer once again. However, this time, the buyer has bought into buying the “big ticket item” from you.

As you can see from each trip, you have slowly instilled trust and built that necessary relationship required to get a visitor to take action. These strangers or potential buyers have been “wowed” by you, so they buy your initial product and then proceed to buy your big ticket item. So don't be discouraged that it may take more than three trips to your site before getting them to take action. You have got to stay patient, and eventually that relationship you've committed to building with each of your visitors will pay dividends for you.

First of all, let's just take a quick look at exactly what a bridging loan actually is. It's a nightmare scenario. You've spotted the perfect new home. Right number of rooms. Good size, well looked after, not too far from work and with a great garden for the kids. The only fly in the ointment is that you've not managed to sell your own property yet.

That's the end of that then, right? Well actually, not necessarily. Enter the bridging loan. As the name suggests, it's a short term loan facility that provides a 'bridge' between one loan and another. In this case, the loan would allow you to go ahead and make the purchase of the second property. The facility would only need to be short term, typically between 4 and 12 months.

There are of course, quite a few other reasons why you could consider a bridging loan:

- you may be considering making a purchase of a property from an auction, in which case you need to raise the funds very quickly.

- you could be thinking about purchasing land or even, as all the property programmes on television are concentrating on at the moment, a property abroad.

- refurbishing an investment property with the intention of selling it on in a very short space of time.

- raising money to pay a tax bill

- covering temporary cashflow problems

- taking off on an impromptu luxury holiday

- your daughter's getting married. She wants all the trimmings and you have to do your parental duty and cover the expense!

As the property merry-go-round has been spinning at full tilt in recent times, many people have found themselves in a situation such as described above and as a result, the volumes of bridging loans have increased accordingly. Lenders have provided more choice and options and have often been innovative in their approach to help their customers.

Clearly, the key principle of a bridging loan is providing the cash very quickly to the customer who, probably more than any other type of borrower, needs the cash immediately. The whole process is very often streamlined and simple in real terms. There are many online brokers that you could make an enquiry to and having done so, they will probably be in touch with you on the phone in a matter of only a few minutes and you could have a decision in principle within an hour or so.

As part of the application, the broker, on behalf of the lender, may ask you to supply some or all of the following supplementary documentation:

- proof of residency

- proof of income

- proof of ID

- buildings insurance certificate, and

- an independent valuation figure

Once received, the loan could be completed in somewhere between 2-10 days. Wow! Now that is fast! So if you need to raise finance quickly, you now know what to do.
