Is Hiring Another Sales Person Really the Answer?
ATXWebmasters.com just posted a good article on search engine optimization and how it can increase your website sales. The article outlines reasons why getting your website optimized is like adding another sales person or two to your staff. I can honestly say that, this is VERY TRUE. Our website generates roughly 50% of our leads because our website is optimized and currently has over 700 first page listings in Google. Not to mention Yahoo, Live, and Ask. The best part about having your website generate new leads and sales is, there are no additional employee expenses to deduct. Which, in turn, produces a higher profit margin for your company.
Now, lets dig a little deeper and think about how much new employees cost your company:
- Recruiting Expenses
- Drug screening
- Background checks
- Employee Salary
- Employee Commissions
- Employee Benefits - Healthcare, Vacations, etc.
- Employment Taxes - S.S., Medicare, Worker’s Comp, etc.
- Office Space
- Office Equipment
I could probably go on forever outlining the costs associated with employees, and so could you. So back to the point of the article on ATXWebmasters.com, which was: Why hire another EXPENSIVE and unproductive employee, when you can have your website generate new leads and sales for you?
The SEO service that ATXWebmasters’ provides is very cost effective, and highly profitable for your company. The cost’s associated with the seo service depends on the size of the website, plus the competition in your market. However, ATX does provide a “Basic” SEO service for $999, that will provide great results for most small - medium sized businesses with a website under 20 pages. With that in mind, how much did you spend hiring your last employee? …. that much huh? LOL..
