    Need some help getting clients for my B2B business

    Hey fellow entrepreneurs!
    I'm helping a friend out with his jingle business and was wondering if you guys had any ideas that will lead us to get some clients. At the moment we are using adwords but are only receiving a couple of clicks per day or two. We are prepared to offer 50% for direct referals that lead to sales (which can ad up to $565AUD) just to get the business off the ground.

    The company is calledDMR Media. Check out the website: www.dmrmedia.com.au

    Let us know what you think, any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Cheers,
    Sweepy

    hmm might have to look elsewhere. seems as though most people in here are mainly into making money from internet ventures

    what do you mean? the website should load do you mean there is a problem with the frames? or is the website just not loading at all. Can anyone else view the site: www.dmrmedia.com.au

    The site is good, easy to navigate etc.

    Have you listed yourself in the yellow pages, etc?

    a good way to get people is to goto the radio advertising people and say who you are and what you do...

    You PM'ed me the other day, I think for this. I have some ideas that I think can help your search engine placement.

    you're having your sales problem because you launched the business without doing market research surveys

    to solve your problem, pick up the phone, get out of your rut and go survey your prospects on collins street

    Cold Call, Cold Call, Cold Call.. no one likes doing it, but it works.

    Try not to create a script, the people on the other line can detect it and they will automatically turn their ears off.

    Just explain what your business does and offers and how it can benefit them. No cheesy shit, this isn't a commercial.

    If they are interested set up an appointment.

    thanks for the replies guys, i think i get the picture now. i may have hooked up a deal with commercialradio.com.au aswell, which sounds promising. ill get myself in the yellowpages (i cant believe im not already) and start cold calling. might save that and do it at my desk job at NAB instead of browsing this forum and using facebook HEAPS. Just wanna try ang get heaps done whilst im on uni holidays.

    that's the spirit

    get rid of everything that's not a priority (i.e. life), and build your business by directly contacting your target market

    thanks again.
    hey Akula, i dont know if you've ever noticed but when you (or some other established member of YE) post a reply it generally brings up the views to the thread by a ridiculous amount. I had like 20 views before for two days and noone bothered viewing until they saw your name.

    hope you enjoyed the useless point i just made

    Akula is equivalent to Jesus around here, he can make forum views jump like that.

    Hope everything goes well.
