Tip #1-2 - Online Surveys Made Easy!
My bank in Tampa, Florida asked me to complete their survey as one of their online business users. Because I bank in two countries entirely by web banking, I was motivated to tell my USA bank what I thought. After experiencing their survey, I was interested to learn more about how this site—independent of the bank—worked. You may enjoy learning about it as well.
The Internet provides interesting new methods for beginning and sustaining a dialogue with your clients and prospects. Client and marketing surveys are important examples. Just go to Zoomerang at http://www.zoomerang.com and see what I mean. Take their test drive and experience the ease with which you can survey clients and others. See the instant compilation of data you can receive as a surveyor. Check out the extraordinarily low cost (far less than mailing out, receiving, tabulating and handling all those details.
If you have begun to communicate with some or all of your clients by email, you can further your use of this relatively new and very inexpensive media (the Internet and World Wide Web) without having to have your own website or do any special programming. What a boon!
The importance of “web presence” (having your own website) is bloated hype. There are already emerging web services like Zoomerang, and certainly there will be more. To check for the ease, look and feel of online surveys, you may take the Financial Advisors Survey I prepared.
