RE: Why tech geeks can’t sell

I used to be a computer consultant. In fact, I’m still a computer geek at heart. And it isn’t too hard for me to tinker away an entire afternoon (or more) with some piece of technology or something. I think it’s something genetic that I’m powerless to change 🙂

Back during my tech consulting days in Chicago, I was pretty bad at selling. That was just at the point where I was slowly starting to figure out how the sales game worked. Thinking back through some of those deals I made makes me cringe, but it was the best I could do at the time.

And luckily, even my feeble sales attempts were WAY better than your average tech geek could do. A lot of tech people hate to sell, and very few of them (in my experience) are good at it. I actually have no idea why this is. And it really doesn’t matter.

There’s surely a downside to selling. And that is that you get to feel rejection a lot. So if you’re not prepared for it, expecting it, indifferent to it, it can make you miserable. Ouch.

But there IS a way around that rejection. That’s why I sell online, through the internet, with a website. It happens to be that I like selling this way, but for a recovering tech geek it works out well.

You just never even encounter the rejection because you aren’t there when it happens!

It really is a beautiful thing. You can focus on generating leads and then running them through your systems. Every now and again, a client pops out!

But you can’t do it without a system. And that’s what you need. A basic “website” just isn’t going to cut it. A website that actually sells (a sales system) is the only thing that gets the job done.

That’s why I created Service Websites That Sell. Because if your website isn’t strategically designed to sell you, then you might as well not even have one.

If you’ve been looking for a way to get a website that generates leads and positions you as an expert, then here’s the deal:

For the next 7 days only, you can get the PREMIUM “Service Websites That Sell” package for the price of the BASIC package.

That means I actually put on my super human copywriting hat and write a lead generation magnet FOR you. There’s no coupon and you won’t find this publicized on the sales page. Just order the BASIC package and you get a complimentary upgrade to the PREMIUM one on the house.

Here’s where to reserve your spot.
