I used to start marketing initiatives with great enthusiasm, only to have them sputter out due to lack of follow through. The Gentle Rain process, coupled with Mark's advice, has ensured that I focus on the most important activities and that the initial enthusiasm doesn't turn into ![]()

How To Turn Your Current Website Into A Business Building Machine
Is Your Website Actively Helping You Get More Clients Or... Is It Just An On-Line Brochure?
Dear Friend,
If you're similar to many of our clients, you're not thoroughly satisfied with your website.
To the first time visitor it may appear to be a jumble of information. Difficult to navigate with no clear "call to action" that you want visitors to take.
We believe that the key to successfully selling your services is to focus first on building a relationship with your prospective client. Not surprisingly, this requires that we communicate with our prospective clients regularly and consistently over an extended period of time.
Which leads us to the role that your website should play...
One of the main problems with most website is at visitors can arrive and depart, leaving no record that they were ever there. Naturally it's extremely difficult to stay in touch if we don't know who to stay in touch with.
That is why we created the Gentle Rain Website development system. This is a unique approach that's specifically designed to meet the needs of consultants, business owners and entrepreneurs who want their website to work 24/7 as a powerful tool for generating new clients. Our system enables you to know precisely who is visiting your site and captures vital information on those most likely to buy from you.
Unfortunately, most websites are little more than online brochures that float in cyberspace and fail in their primary purpose... to advance the sales and relationship building process.

If you have an existing website you need to ask yourself...

- Is your message clear and compelling?

- Does it stimulate visitors to begin a relationship with you?

- Does the copy draw the reader in and make them want to do business with you.

- Is it focused on the needs of your prospects and clients or is it all about Who You Are?

- Is it actively helping you grow your business?
If you answered "No" to any of these questions, you need to talk with us about Gentle Rain Marketing Websites. A completely different approach that will enable your website to work as a Relationship Building Machine That Never Sleeps.
Websites have changed the playing field of business. When done correctly they enable smaller businesses to compete at the same level of image and sophistication as their largest competitors. Unfortunately most websites fail to take advantage of the opportunity that is right in front of them. That's such a shame since websites don't need to be complicated and they certainly don't need to be expensive.
Why not contact us today for a free no-obligation, no-hard-sell consultation?
If you have an existing website we'll review it together during your free consultation. We guarantee that you'll put down the phone with a wealth of good ideas you can begin to implement immediately!

And again, there's never any pressure or hard-sell when you invest your time in speaking with us. Why not send us an email right now with some times that are convenient to you for us to talk? I look forward to speaking with you soon.
