A Quick And Easy Tip For Turning Lookers Into Buyers

2006-02-04T14:38:00.000-08:00

Traffic.

Website traffic.

Traffic this, traffic that...

One of the most common questions I get in regards to internet marketing is usually, "How Do I Increase My Website Traffic."

Yikes!

These types of questions scare me.

And here's why.

If the number one question you have about your online business is how do you create a ton of traffic for your site, then you're missing the point of being online.

See, the trick is not getting traffic to your site...that's only part of the process...the really important thing for you to concentrate on is getting a higher conversion rate.

Yep...

It doesn't matter that you can get 150,000 hits to your site - if you're not converting those numbers into actual sales - then your wasting your time.

Here is a tip for converting traffic into cash.

1.1 Problems

Identify a problem that your market is having and give them a prescription for curing it.

Now when I say curing it, I don't mean in the future - I mean something that they can start doing now. That's what will get them from sitting on the fence and looking in - to actually becoming a paying customer.

A quick update...

2006-01-16T08:53:00.000-08:00

It's been a while since my last post.

But it's for good reason.

Because I have been trying and learning some new marketing methods. Some of which have been working rather well I might ad.

And I will be sharing exactly what I learned with you in future posts.

So stay tuned!!!!

Turning browsers into buyers before christmas

2005-12-23T13:06:00.000-08:00

Okay, so Christmas is just about here, and everybody is looking forward to spending quality time with their friends and family.

Not to mention opening up the gifts they received.

And while we're on the subject of gifts, I thought I'd give you one last gift before the holiday actually set's in.

The gift I have for you deals with your prospects...specifically how to turn browser's into buyers.

There is a simple tactic that works like a charm for getting your customers to take action and buy from you.

That tactic is called "follow up".

Yep, good ole' follow up.

Now you can't just follow up with your customers by giving them junk, because they will see right through what your doing.

The trick is to offer them quality products that fit in naturally with your product that they can begin using immediately in their business.

Your follow up offer shouldn't compete directly with your main offer, but it should be a logical compliment to it.

For example, let's say your offering a information product that promises to show anyone how to write a killer salesletter.

A natural compliment to that product would be an offer of your how to course on creating killer subjectlines.

Well, now you know how to turn browsers into buyers.

How will you use it in your business?

Why the best companies don't always win

2005-12-08T11:01:00.000-08:00

Okay, if you don't already know it, I'll say it again here.

An easy way to make your business become a screaming success, is to simply be first.

Notice that I didn't say that you should be the best. But you should be first.

Nobody ever remembers the number 2, or the number 3 in a category.

However, mostly everybody always remembers the number one.

This by the way is how a teensy tiny little ma and pa business can effectively compete with the goliaths.

So remember, that if your not first, then you need to create a category that you can be first in.

A Special Announcement!

How To Transform Your Business Into A Money Making Machine In Less Than 24 Hours

2005-11-12T13:39:00.000-08:00

A big problem that ebusiness owners face today is finding new and creative ways for customers to buy their products or services.

It's such a big problem that the success or failure of your business can come down to knowing how to effectively use this one essential skill.

However, if you've had problems in the past with coming up with new and exciting ideas for getting your customers to make purchases from you then there's good news.

Your about to learn a simple skill that all the top online guru's use when they really want to create money on demand. I'm talking about giving you the nut's and bolts to building an "ethical bribe."

Mastering this one skill will alow you to create instant money on demand. Knowing how to create ethical bribes is like having a genie in the bottle. You can literally turn any failing offer into a winner overnight.

I betcha you want to know how to structure an ethical bribe now don't you?

I thought you would.

First let me give you a quick breakdown of the ethical bribe from a man who has made a living off of creating them fortune 500 companies.

Here's what Jay Abraham, one of the masters of creating the ethical bribe had to say, " The ethical bribe offers a known dollar-value product or service - usually with a bonus package - for a dramatically low price. And you provide a believable explanation of why you are making this spectacular deal available.

You can adapt the ethical bribe to anything you do - just don't be too chintzy on the aggregated value you give your customer. Make the value real, and make the reason you're offering them such an obvious deal perfectly clear."

Folks, it doesn't get any clearer than that.

Here's an example of how to use the ethical bribe.

let's say you're selling mops from a vender who is now announced he's going out of business?

The original price was 1 mop for $14.99, but you can get each mop for an even $3.00 at wholesale.

Now you have the ingredients for an ethical bribe.

Instead of offering one mop for $14.99 you can now offer 2 mops for $19.97. And since you get each mop at the wholesale price, while selling twice as many mops - your offer will still bring you a nice hefty profit.

What you want to do next is give them your reason why.

You can find out your reason by simply asking the manufacturer what's their reason for going out of business.

Once they give you their answer, you can start assembling your ethical bribe.

Let's say their reason was they no longer are profitable and their accountants have advised them that they will have to file for bankruptcy due to the high cost of manufacturing their products.

They've now given you your opening. You can write an ad that looks something like this,

"Super mop 3000 that once sold for $14.99, is now priced to fly off store shelves.

If you've purchased the super mop 3000 before than your familiar with the quality and craftmaship that goes into every mop.

This little family owned business based in Chicago Illinois, has placed these fine mop's on store shelves for the past 45 years.

However, their time has come to an end.

Their accountants have just told them that they are no longer in the black due to the high cost of manufacturing these mops and theu don't see them getting back in the red anytime soon.

Basically, what that means is they will have to file for bankruptcy within the next 90 days.

Their problem is now an opportunity for you.

How?

Now you can get 2 super mop 3000's for $19.97

that's not a mis-print....blah, blah, blah...."

and you would finish the rest of the ad.

Again, if you can master this simple little skill, you'll dominate your market.

Exclusive 2 Part Viral Marketing Strategy

© Copyright 2005 by Keir Smith

I'm sure that you'd agree.....

That most successful online businesses revolve around a large list of hungry subscribers. In today's internet business environment if you aren't reminding people that you still exist, your business will stagnate and die.

So how do you let potential and current subscribers know that you still exist?
The quick and simple answer is....drum roll please...

Viral marketing.....

In this article I'm going to give you a couple of viral marketing strategies that you can start using today - this afternoon even - for building a huge list of ezine subscribers.
I'll start off with the easiest way to grow your ezine subscriber list, and that's using viral marketing tools.

Part 1 >>>>>>>>>>>

In other words, if you give away free ebooks, and e-Reports, they should be viral in nature.

Here's a basic viral example...

Suppose you have an opt in ezine list related to e-book marketing, your subscribers are most likely looking for ebook writing and marketing tips. You could then offer them a free ebook on "how to submit your ebook to the best ebook directories on the internet. On each page of the book add a highly visible website link to your ezine subscribe webpage.

Then offer your ebook to your existing subscribers first. I always like to give my subscribers first chance of purchasing any new product I create or offer. Also, here's a good time to let everyone know that they can give away your ebook to their website visitors, friends, family, and even their own ezine subscriber list.

After a couple of weeks of downloads your ebook will start to deliver quality, targeted subscribers to your ezine and website.

As if that strategy wasn't good enough, here's another viral marketing strategy that's sure to put your viral marketing campaign on steroids.

I see you like the sound of that already....

Part 2 >>>>>>>>>>>.

While creating your ebook, add affiliate links to your affiliate programs products or other affiliate program's products. This will create an additional incentive for people to pass the ebook around because now they can make money.

For example...

You have your ezine subscription webpage links on every page and your ebook readers will have an additional monetary incentive to offer your ebooks to others.

This was a pretty short overview of using the viral marketing strategies, but it's straight and to the point, no fluff, just exactly what you need to create a successful viral marketing campaign.
With a little elbow grease, you can easily discover even more methods for using emails to build your business online.

2005-11-07T22:50:00.000-08:00

Have you ever done this before?

Have you ever created a killer ezine article or report that was packed with useable content and....(gasp).... simply given it away for free?

Yikes....

I know, you've been told that you can get ton's of traffic by giving away your free content.

and this is true in some cases, none of which I'll talk about here, in a future post I will go in depth about exactly when you should use free content for the best results.

But back to our topic....

The worst thing you can do is simply give away your expertise....and not get something in return.

Is'nt your expertise at least worth having your customer tell you who they are?

And while they're at it, why not make it easier for them to subscribe to your newletter, or a specialized ecourse that you can deliver via email.

Okay, so what's my point

It's simply that you should get a fair exchange...their email address in return for your valuable content.

Now I can see the switch clicking over in your mind....now you get it finally....

Here's the formula again for those of you who didn't catch it the first time.

Valuable content + Email address = Subscriber

3 More Incredibly Easy Tips for Getting Your Emails Open And
Read
(c) Copyright 2005 by Keir Smith

What you are about to read... is a simple marketing strategy
for anyone who wants to improve their reponse and sales
conversions

One of the biggest challenges that ebusiness owners face is
getting their emails open and read.

That was until today of course. :-)

We're going to take a quick look at 3 simple marketing
strategies for getting your emails past the spam filters and
read...

Strategy 1. Branding Identification

Branding identification is simply letting people know who
you are and what you stand for by creating an image in their
minds. This is literally gold in the marketing arena. We pay
more for nikes not because they're always better than
competitors, but because of the image that advertisers have
created for us.

Strategy 2. Use your email to build good customer relations.

This is one of the most effective uses of emails, since if
they are used to positively build up your reputation for
service an attentiveness, you will see sales and customer
retention go up.

Customer service is a big buzzword in marketing circles for
good reason. People will simply go elsewhere if they believe
that they are receiving better service (or value) elsewhere.

Strategy 3. You need an effective email strategy

This one is the real deal breaker. If you do not have a
gameplan for what you would like to do online then your
marketing efforts will be wasted.

For example:

How do you plan on generating leads for your business?

How do you plan on converting prospects into paying
customers?

How do you plan on creating value for your customers?

If there was ever an area where you wanted to spend as much
of your time as possible, then this is it. I'm talking
about spending as much as 80% percent of your time here.

With the proper strategy, you'll win over your customers,
ultimately leading to further sales.

------------------------------------------------------------

You've made it! You can now put these 3 easy strategies to
work for you in your business. Of course these aren't the
only strategies for creating an overflow of new business,
but it's a start.

2 More Easy Tips for Getting Your Emails Opened and Read

2005-11-01T15:37:00.000-08:00

Here are two quick tips for getting your customers to open and read your emails.

Tip 1 Relevancy

If you want your customer to look forward to receiving and opening your emails than you better make sure that your content is relevant to a current problem or desire that they are currently having.

For example, if your promoting a product that shows people how to make a six figure income online. Then you'll want to make sure that's exactly what your customer wants to do. If they have no interest in making a six figure income online than they'll never read your message.

Tip 2 Personalize

With this tip you want to make sure that you use your customers name in the email message that you send them.

How do you do this you ask?

It's easy....you can use a double opt in form for them to sign up with.

Here's how you would use it.

Offer a free report, ebook, or ecourse as bait for them to take. Make sure that your report, ebook, or ecourse is top notch. It should be filled with usable content.

Next, don't just give them your product. Thats too easy. You want to tell them that they are just seconds away from getting the advertised gift, and you can also mention a few benefits, I mean really sell this baby.

Then, thats when you tell them that in order to get the advertised report or whatever, that they'll have to confirm that they are a real person and not just some auto program designed to act like a live person.

Now that's it...2 quick and simple ways to get more of your customers opening up and reading your emails.

A 2 Step Formula for Creating a Non Stop Flow of Hungry Customers to Your Site Within 48 Hours

2005-10-31T17:18:00.000-08:00

Would you like to know 2 little known secrets that emarketing gurus use for generating a non stop flow of targeted traffic to their site?

It's so simple really, when I first heard about how they used these tactics to generate tons of free traffic to their site with so little effort - I knew I just had to dig deeper and find out exactly how they used these incredible them.

So, today I going to share with you exactly what I found while doing my snooping. :o)

Are you ready?

Here we go...

Tactic 1 Write your own articles

What you can do here is pick a subject that you know that your customers will be interested in.

How do you know what your customers are interested in?

One easy way of knowing for sure what your customers want to read about is with a simple survey. Just put together 4 or 5 questions askinig about what they would like to see in a product. How much they would be willing to pay for such a product. And in what format would they like to see it in. Then bingo! You've got yourself a inside look into the mind of your customer.

Once you've got some good information on what your customers would like to read about, then you can put together a informative report that shows them best how to use the information you uncovered.

Tactic 2 Craft a well thought out resource box.

A lot of of emarketers forget or just plain don't know how to craft a resource box that sells their information product.

The key here is that you need to tell your customers who you are, exactly what it is you do, and offer them something for free. like a free report, ecourse, or how to article.

This tactic works like a charm...

Tactic 3 Tell them how to get your free item

Again in your resource box you can tell them how to get their hands on this report, ecourse or how to article.

For example, when I created my resource box I wrote, "keir smith is the creator of the 100% free 7 day ecourse email marketing explained..to get your free copy send any email to mylistprofits@getresponse.com this offer will be limited to the first 50 people who respond. after that I won't be giving away any more "free" copies do the oversaturation".

See how easy that was?

Tactic 4 Give a call to action

Did you see how I created a since of urgency? I did that by mentioning my self imposed deadline. If you don't act now you could miss out. That's the message you want to convey to your customers.

And that's it, not hard at all....

You can be up and running in no time. Generating a steady flow of traffic to your site or even your affiliate programs.

Just follow these proven tactics and let me know how they work for you.

How I get my subscribers to open up and read all my emails

2005-10-29T14:48:00.000-07:00

Do you know how to get your customers to open up and read your emails whenever you send them an important message?

A big problem that emarketers face today is simply getting their messages opened and read.

With all the spam that can be found online and all the different laws that are out there...its tougher than ever to get through to your customer.

But today I'm going to share with you a simple way to get your customers to open and read your emails.

step 1 Focus on the end result.

This without question is where most email marketers drop the ball. Instead of focusing on the benefits that their customers will receive from their products or services...they instead focus on what they think their customers will like or some wacky feature of their product or service.

This is a bad move in my opinion.

There are so many other ways that you can use to get your customers to open up your emails rather than trying to bore your customers into opening up your messages.

So the question is, how do you get your customers to click on your emails and devour your message word for word?

Here's what you do.

Just ask yourself what is the end result that your customer can expect to receive when they use your product or service. what can they expect to be, have, or do with your product or service that they normally wouldn't be able to do if they didn't have your product or service.

Once you have the answer, put this information in your headline. Tell your customer the minimum results that they can expect to see, have or do....but don't use hype here....just honest information.

step 2 Use the power of curiosity to get them to read further into your email message.

This is an easy step you can use to increase the number of customers who open up your messages, but few people know exactly how to use -yet will work wonders for you when you use it correctly. All you have to do is give your reader a small peek at what the rest of the article will be about, and then immediately switch gears.

This is exactly how news programs get you to stick around for the different stories they will be featuring.

For example....

How many times have you heard a news anchor say something like, "earlier today there was a three car pile up on highway 20, leaving 2 small kids and 2 adults klinging for their lives, we'll have more on that in a moment, but first we'll take a look at todays weather forcast."

See, the trick is to start off on a story that your audience will be interested in, and then completely switch gears. Psychologist's will tell you that our minds can't stand it when we have something that's incomplete. Your curiosity is triggered when you hear a story that's incomplete.

What your doing here is giving your customer some bait that will hook them, but not enough to get the full taste of your message. For that they'll have to read on.

So, do you see how easy it is to get your customers to open up and read your emails?

Remember the formula is:

results + curiosity = readership

It's simple and easy to do.

Why Your Website Won't Make You Money

2005-10-17T14:06:00.000-07:00

It's crazy.

I go online almost everyday, and I see the same mistakes happening over and over. Month after month, online businesses struggle to bring in a profit from their website. They focus on fancy graffics and tons of other things that don't have anything to do with making your customers want your product or service bad enough to whip out they're wallet and hand you they're hard earned cash.

What's the big mistake these businesses make you ask?

Not having an information product.

And I don't just mean some free junk you can find online. No, I'm talking about something that only you can offer your customers. This gives you an advantage over your competitors. It's got to be valuable. Something that they can use in their business right now.

But today, I have some good news.

I'm going to share 5 critical tips that will skyrocket your business in the next 72 hours. Yep, if you can write your name, then these incredible tips will put more money in your pocket in the next 72 hours than it did all of last week. I'm not kidding.

So listen up, because here they are:

1. Think multiple products/services

This is a no brainer really. Because if your not selling multiple products to your customers than your leaving a boat load of cash sitting right at their front doorsteps. Think about what your customers can use before and after they use your product or service. Next create an information product that solves a problem this market is having. Or what about doing a joint venture with someone who has a valuable information product that you can offer to this starving market. In the end, you'd split the profits.

2. Create a project plan for product deliveries

If you can't get your products or services to your customers when you say you will, then you'll lose the sale. More importantly though, you'll lose the customer for good. See, we live in a fast paced world. And your customers want their goods and services now. Not tomorrow. So you need to plan out how you will handle delays in your delivery process. How will you sooth your customers need to have what he wants, when he wants it.

3. Define low price products to generate leads

This one is a real doozy. If done right you could find yourself with hundreds of hungry leads in just 30 days. The idea here is that you will use a low priced information product that's packed with valuable information as your lead generator. The way I use it is as an exchange. They will exchange their email address for my top notch information that they can put to use today. You then can follow up with them with multiple offers. Here, what you want to do is give them valuable information, but at the same time point to your mid priced product.

4. Define your mid-price product as a stepping stone

Yep, your low priced lead generator is designed to sell your middle product. It enhances the results. Although your low priced product will work well by itself, combine it with your mid priced product, and the sky's the limit.

5. Create high-end, back-end products

Last but not least, there's your high end product. And if you've created your mid priced product correctly, and by that I mean, your mid priced product should be pointing to what else...thats right...your high end product - then your sales will soar. This is a proven system for creating an automatic sales cycle. You start a chain reaction that happens automatically when you set your information products up in this easy to follow manner.

This Business Building Tip is Almost to Easy

2005-10-16T15:15:00.000-07:00

Building an Internet business is easy. Seriously. I'm not saying that it's not complicated, because it is. I'm just saying that it's easy to accomplish if you just have a system in place.

There's very little in this world that can't be accomplished with the right set of action steps in front of you.

Today, I'm going to give you such a system for building your Internet business. There are only 4 steps...

1. Decide What You Want To Do. Do you want to run an eBay(R) business? Be an affiliate marketer? Buy and sell reprint rights? Get involved in niche marketing? While all of those things will likely find their way into your plan in time, you gotta begin with one thing at a time.

My recommendation: Choose a "broad" topic you are interested in and begin building a list of folks interested in that topic.

2. Determine A Weekly Action Plan. After you decide what you want to do, it's time to determine how to get it done. What I do is this: I create a weekly set of action steps. That is,I have a set of things I do on Monday, on Tuesday and so forth. Decide how many hours (as little as ONE) you want to work each day and schedule yourself a reasonable amount of things to get done in that time frame. Repeat this process week after week.

My recommendation: Begin writing ezine articles to promote your list ... and affiliate programs. It's the easiest way to get free traffic and build your list at the same time.

3. Devote Yourself To Staying On Schedule. The important thing here is to stick to it. The easiest way that I know of to make certain you develop discipline in your schedule is to NOT set unrealistic expectations. Give yourself ample time to do each day's action step - don't overschedule. Look for progress along the way to celebrate. Reward yourself when you've reached a milestone. And, remember, you're GROWING a business. Just like physical growth, it takes time ... it WILL happen if you remain committed.

My recommendation: Weave in simple activities related to the following categories - List building (ezine articles), product creation(conduct interviews or hire ghostwriters), site development (making your site convert more visitors into buyers)and education (continuing to learn new ways to grow your business)

4. Develop Additional Shortcuts. As you get better and better at working with your lists, creating products and tweaking your site,you'll want to continue to improve your business with new ideas,strategies, tools and resources. The key is simple: never stop learning!

My recommendation: Visit forums. Read articles. Download reports. Identify sites and resources that CONTRIBUTE to your success in educating you. You want faster results, bigger increases, automated processes,and other ways to get more accomplished and more profit, with less work involved.

Everything depends on you developing a plan and sticking to it.
And that is the REAL secret to building a high-profitInternet business!

But you must know how to milk your list before you can get these riches. In fact here's how I build my list

For Building a Large Subscriber List, This Works Like Crazy

2005-10-13T15:07:00.000-07:00

Okay, it's been a couple of days since I gave you guys some good valuable content. So today I'm going to give you not one, but 5 tips to build yourself or anyone you know for that matter, a huge customer list.

As you know, part of having a successful online business will rely more on just a good business plan. You'll need a proven way to generate a permanant cash flow month after month. And the only way to do that is with your own customer list. One that you've built from scratch and can milk for all it's worth.

So, without further ado, here are your 5 incredibly easy tips. I use these tips everyday to build an ever growing customer subscriber list.

1. Give Them Value

Are you giving discounts, critical information, special offers? No matter what you promise your recipients you need to give them the value you promised. If you stray from that you’ll lose them and spend your time patching your list instead of building it. One more thing: place a registration form prominently on your website and promote your value. It doesn’t cost you anything to put it there and you can start driving traffic to it.

2. Don’t Ask for Too Much Information

Don’t scare away prospects with prying questions. Collect the information you need for registration and basic analysis and leave it at that until you’ve developed a relationship with your members. Requesting sensitive information such as age and phone numbers can deter people from completing the sign up process.

3. Guarantee Privacy

These days, people live in fear of Internet piracy. Assure prospects that you’re not one of the predators stalking the Web and harvesting email addresses for unscrupulous purposes. Broadcasting your commitment to privacy and refusal to trade or sell information will help establish a level of trust and result in more registrations.

4. Leverage the Web

Once you’ve highlighted the newsletter on your corner of the Web, search for other places on the Internet where you can advertise your service. Identify web sites, pop-up windows after a purchase or when someone enters or leaves your site, search engines, newsletters and other online spaces where you can promote your mailings.

5. Don’t Forget the Real World

Do you have an offline business, a retail shop, a spa, salon or doctor’s office? Brainstorm on offline methods of growing your list. Place a fishbowl on the counter with a sign up form, or ask your customers as they’re checking out if they want to be included on your list. Building a mailing list is like growing a plant, it requires time and care, but the results are priceless. If you employ these techniques, you’ll be reaping the benefits for years.

What's the secret formula for creating a passive income from your kitchen table even if your bank account is empty?

2005-10-07T00:41:00.000-07:00

Ok guys, today I have a special gift for you.

If you've ever wanted to know the secret to creating a passive income that flows to your bank account month after month then today's article will surely give you the answer.

In fact, the creator of this product Michael Rasmussen, has made his entire living online using this product.

But don't take my word for it, just read what he had to say.

"Before you can jump into starting a membership site, you must have an idea that people will want to pay for regularly. Will your site offer business tips, tools and resources?Weight loss articles and tools for countingcalories? The latest updates on UFO sightings?

Once you decide on the focus of your site, it's time to start gathering content. Now, the hardpart about membership sites is that they require a great deal more upkeep than ebooks. You write an ebook once and that part of the process is over. But with a membership site, you must continually find or create more content: more articles and tips, more tools and resources, more ebooks, a constant flow of new information.

But membership sites, when they offer information worth paying for, have a higher moneymaking potential than ebooks because people pay a monthly or yearly fee again and again. When you sell an ebook, the customer only pays once forit.

Now, convincing people to pay for membership is another challenge, but one that can be easily overcome if you do one thing, give visitors a taste of what they'll get with a membership. They won't want to buy unless they get a free sample, so whether you offer a few free articles on the site or a free newsletter, you have to show people what they'll be missing if they don't join."

Is there such a thing as a no-nonsense approach to boosting your websites conversion rates? You bet, and I reveal it right here..

2005-10-05T11:44:00.000-07:00

Wouldn't it be great if there was a simple formula for you to follow that would practically guarantee you a higher conversion rate for your website?

That's what I wondered one day while talking to a friend of mine. He had a website with some very good content, but was having a hell of a time converting visitors into paying customers.

So me being the super detective that I am, I searched for a simple formula that anyone could follow and boost their websites conversion rates.

The result?

I uncovered a formula called 5 essential principles of visitor conversion.

Basically it works like this.

Since you've attracted visitors to your site, you want to turn them into friends, potential clients, and finally current clients.

But before I jump into details, let me say this...

This is just a brief overview, the whole story is told in a free report from Michael Port over at http://www.bookyourselfsolid.com/pdf/BookYourselfSolid_SpecialReport_WebConversion.pdf

Ok...here are the 5 principles:

1.Enticement
2.Consumption
3.Endowment
4.Enhancement.
5.Abandonment

You just follow each one of the steps, and you'll see increased conversion rates in no time for sure.

What should you do if you receive this kind of call from a debt collector

2005-10-05T10:25:00.000-07:00

Does this sound familiar?

"This is Mr. Gweedo calling from the firm of Smith & Jones on behalf of our client, ABC Credit Card Company. We intend to file suit today if we have not heard back from you by 5:00 p.m. If you want to avoid this legal action, please call me at 1-800-555-1212."

Sounds scary doesn't?

Well it shouldn't.

And here's why?

It's because this message is illegal.

You see, "a collection agency cannot threaten you with action they have no intention of taking"
This is according to Mr. Brogden, a former debt collector."

If they leave this kind of message on Monday. Thursday they call again, but this time the deadline is Friday. The next week they call again with the same message and a new deadline... etc. etc. etc

Then you see, they never intended to file suit in the first place.

In fact what Mr Brogden recommends is that you,

"Keep a log of every call, every conversation, every letter, every message, every communication you have with the collection agency.

Now you see why you need to screen your calls, and talk to them only when you're ready. You want to be ready to jot down notes, numbers, and facts about the call. Take note of the day, the time, the name of the caller, their telephone number, their extension, what was discussed, how the call ended, the length of the call - anything and everything to do with the communication.This is where a voice mail and Caller Id come in handy. The voice mail will give you a time and date stamp of the message so you can make sure it is at a "reasonable time of day.

The Caller Id is handy also. Not only does it screen the calls for you, but it keeps a record of every time the telephone rings and no message is left. When you get a collection agency calling you repeatedly just to annoy or harass you, it helps to be able to prove that they made ten calls in one day!"

Why it pays to double check your work
