Take a moment, if you would, to remember high school. While some remember that time period fondly, others are still saddled with therapy bills from time spent trying to cope with their high school experiences. For those who went to college, take a moment and reflect on that time period. How do you remember it? Those who have succeeded in life without a college education may take this moment to mock all of us college graduates.

Our memory often reflects upon the past as a series of time periods. High school, college, and the honeymoon years are just a few examples of time periods in which we look back, judge how wefelt, and categorize the entire time period with a generalized statement. Typically these experiences are personalized;occasionally there are larger events that create the same effect on a larger scale. World War II and the Great Depression are examples of this.

While the longevity of the current economic crisis will determine whether or not this time period will serve as a collective recall point, there can be no doubt that for some individuals, its impact already has created events of such magnitude that they will never forget the event. With mass unemployment, scandals, and dwindling retirement accounts, the effect has been severe for many. Yet some will look on this time period, no matter how severe the current economic crisis becomes, with something akin to fondness, as they achieved high levels of prosperity through the opportunities afforded them by the crisis. As Robert Kiyosaki said, far more eloquently, "The difference between those that find these to be the best of times and those that find these to be the worst of times is simply knowledge and financial IQ."

The Biggest Mistake Most Companies Make With Their Website

We have reviewed hundreds of business websites and more than 90% of them make one huge mistake. I even spoke with one company recently that does more than $30,000,000 a year in sales and they were making this mistake.

The Big Mistake is:
NOT having your phone number prominently displayed as a call to action on each and every page!

On most websites you have to hunt for a phone number by clicking on a “Contact Us” page or it’s hidden at the bottom of the home page in small font.

Let us give you a tip: If your prospect has to work at finding a way to contact you, they’ll leave your site faster than you can believe.

You wouldn’t think of hiding your phone number on a newspaper ad, a piece of direct mail or in the yellow pages - so why do it on your website? Make it really easy for prospects to call you and watch your leads increase with no more effort or expense.

Here’s what to do…
Have your 800 or local number prominently displayed on EVERY page in the header section with a call to action. (i.e. Call Us Today: 800-xxx-xxxx)

This may sound obvious but let me assure you, if you took a look at 20 local websites today you’d see that 90% of them do not use the above simple but proven strategy. This small distinction creates a significant advantage for you.

So while most companies are trying to drive more traffic with search engine optimization or paid search, if they miss the basic purpose of their website - lead generation and conversion – then they’re wasting their marketing dollars.

Take this simple step and let us know how it positively impacts your bottom line.
