HOWTO: Increase your results with your ISell Software " Power Sales: Email lead list management 101 " ====================================================================== @data[1] - did you know email is the most effective means to still make sales online? Your Isell Classifieds service is literally an email/leads/sales generation machine. It works tirelessly as a classifieds service and keeps track of all the leads in databases for you. These leads are GOLD if you use them properly. Does not matter what you are selling, list management is king. Today that is what we will cover in the HOW TO section on using your Isell Classifieds. All versions have emailing functions. Log into the admin section, see Email Section... choose a category. You will then get a list of all people in that category in various formats. You can copy and paste these to notepad or wordpad and save them for emailing. If you want to email directly from your desktop [and not using your isp] see this product: http://www.mail-loop.com/ It will save you a lot of time and make the job easy. For Silver, Gold and Platinum ISell Classifieds Services software users you have a number of additional options. a] Permanent database - this is a list of all people that have posted ads in all categories. This list DOES NOT change, unlike the categories databases which are current and change as ads expire and are deleted from the database. b] You can email right online. All upgraded versions of ISell Software allow you to copy and paste your message in, and click a button. The system send the mail for you - bypassing your isp. c] All users can still copy and paste the database[s] of leads from each category and mail them separately. d] All users can also download the "raw" databases for use in emailing programs such as Mailloop and other programs. These databases are real gold as they include all info about the person posting ads. Now I have all these leads... what do I do with them? Or better - put who will buy what from me? Information is power. If you choose option D above [downloading the databases] you can see what each person is trying to sell. Put yourself in their shoes... what does this person need? 1. Paid Classified - they posted an ad at your site. One of the easiest sells is to upgrade them to a paid ad. [note: see "paid module" for doing this automatically 24/7/365]. 2. IF they are promoting a business opportunity - introduce them to another one AND/OR products/services to help them market online better. 3. If you are feeling really aggressive, call the person - do not be surprised if the number is no good - this is for all you go getters out there! You have a lot of options with your Isell Classifieds and usage of the leads and services it provides. Email list management and emailing regularly is the key to increased sales.
