Day Fifty Two - Thursday 1st March
Today kinda ended before it started, we have been thinking of better ways to get new business, the options are endless. The directory is selling, companies are happy with it and are buying space. The only problem being, its not happening fast enough.
We are changing the way we actually sell the advertising and are taking a different approach to who we call. The idea is to get this directory working in the interest of the actual users, ensuring that in every category for every county there is a listing in there.
Initially, we need about 2000 listings alone to ensure that a result shows up for any category in any county. We really do have our work cut out and have contemplated taking someone on in sales to give that extra push it needs. Alot of letters have gone out and there are alot of call backs that need to be made but with everything else thats going off it can sometimes prove a bit difficult to be on the phone every minute of the day.
It needs hitting hard, very hard..
Do we take on a full time sales person?
Do we take on a student that would like training in sales?
Decisions, decisions…..
