The two last meetings were very productive generating a few hard leads to some of us, and creating the momentum we need to take this org off the ground: in 2007 we will fly!
But, without a doubt, the last few posted messages tell us how great the potential impact that Just Trade Leads Network will have in generating new business for all of us.
As Jim put it so well, "... I was told the key ingredient was numbers. This meant you make X cold calls a week; from this effort X prospects are defined; and with a couple more steps, a certain amount turn into actual sales, yielding your "closing ratio". I now believe this process to be obsolete and the concept of this blog and people to people meetings can generate real, qualified prospects at a greater rate."
Rick, who just became officially part of
JTL (way to go Rick!!), posted that "...I believe just like Leroy that this has a huge upside. I also believe that once we get more participation in the group it will grow beyond our imagination." It is exactly what we expect will happen with leads trading through
JTL.
Leroy's posting today was not less enthusiastic when he projects our success for 2007 and anticipates another positive impact for us as we meet and interact: "...I will be inviting 2 new people to come to the next meeting. The more momentum we can muster the better. Let's think of ideas to help the group grow, prosper and benefit from our meetings and interactions and we can still have fun."
All this enthusiasm that we see mushroom in only few weeks is just the tip of the huge iceberg that will emerge from the deep sea of leads and information
JTL will help to generate!
We anticipate that another aspect that is going to expose our businesses to an ever increasing number of people, buyers or sellers, is the production of important content and free advice: as Jim put it also in his posting last week, "...Unfortunately, the process today for purchase of many building products is selection by ... cost as a selection factor, the homeowner is taken out of the picture. It would be my desire to educate the homeowner, so that he or she can make an intelligent trade off between cost and quality." That tells us clearly that with messages such as this,
JTL will attract people looking for KNOWLEDGE AND SOLUTION PROVIDERS who genuinely see business from the customer's perspective and will "spread the word" to the four winds.
Happy Holidays and a spiritually and materially fulfilling 2007!

PS.:
JTL is built over Google technology and so far it has been sitting over a "Beta" version platform. A regular first version has been released, and we should be upgrading in the next few weeks. Hopefully, we will be able to accomplish that with no interruptions. I will keep everyone posted.
