The power of the "Me Pages"

Success Invention #14

When we were looking at the inside of the classified advertisements you saw there were links from the username and graphics for the "Me Page."

This "Me Page" allows you to connect more personally with your prospective buyers. In addition to being a local person, this really helps you to cut thru the skepticism many people have buying thru the internet. Lets look at the components of the "Me Page."

Success Invention #15

Username: The upper left is a Username of your choice. This can be your real name, or it can be anything you like if you want to remain a little more anonymous, or if you just wanted to be known as something else, such as "Mr. Santa" if you are a professional actor that hires him/herself out on holidays as Santa Claus.

Success Invention #16

Unique Visits: This tells everyone visiting your "Me Page" how many actual people have looked at it. This counts only people, not visits. If 100 people visit your "Me Page" 30 times each, the counter will be 100 not 3000. This lets people know how active you are in the local classifieds, and the interest level among other local residents.

Success Invention #17

Total Ads: This tells how many ads you have posted on this portal since the beginning of time, or that is to say, how many the particular user of this "Me Page" has. This lets prospective buyers know if you have been around for a while and active, or just getting started.

Success Invention #18

Referred: This number is how many people have recommended this particular user's advertisements to friends. On the bottom of every advertisement is a form that someone can notify a friend of that advertisement. When a person does this it advances the "Referred" number by 1.

If the same person refers the same advertisement 10 times, it only will advance the "Referred" number by 1. This keeps the count more honest, people will know it is a more real number.

Success Invention #19

Tabs - Hobbies, Education, Philosophy, Family, Contact Me: These are areas you can expand on about yourself on your "Me Page" that helps to let people know more about you. The more people understand you the more they will trust you, and do business with you.

Success Invention #20

Member Since: This tells people when you signed up as a member of the classifieds. Many prospective buyers consider your length of time as a member when adding up their personal trust profile of you.

Success Invention #21

Verified Local Business Members: You as the Portal Director, from your Portal Director Administration area, can decide which members can have this badge of honor on their "Me Page." If you click on that badge it takes you to a website that says: "When you see the verified member logo on a "Me Page" that means that our local portal director or one of the staff has visited the business personally and verified they are legitimate and indeed a local brick and mortar business.

If you are a local business and would like to have the verification added to your "Me Page" you can do so by contacting the local portal director, information is below."

As the Portal Director you need to have either met with the business owner at their place of business, or one of your staff, before deciding to add this badge to the member's "About Me" page.

You can also choose to only give it to business owners that purchase a premium business listing or power page or P.B.C. as a sign they are serious about supporting the local portal and community.

Success Invention #22

Member IICC: You as the Portal Director, from your Portal Director Administration area, can decide which members can have the International Internet Chamber of Commerce log added to the member's "Me Page." If you click on that logo it takes you to the International Internet Chamber of Commerce (IICC) at InternationalInternetChamberofCommerce.org

Any business can join the IICC, which is a free membership, and is governed by it's members.

You can also choose to only give the logo to business owners that purchase a premium business listing or power page or P.B.C. as a sign they are serious about supporting the local portal and community.

Success Invention #23

Your Picture: You can add a picture of yourself on the main page, and one picture for each of the additional pages under the Hobbies, Education, Philosophy, Family, and Contact Me Tabs. This really helps you to connect more with your prospective customers.

On the next pages we will look at the graphics that link to the "Friends and Private Email" sections.

Sales is a numbers game! Pick Your Numbers!

Please note that some of our portal directors with experience in sales get 25% of the business owners they give a presentation to purchase a premium listing. If you are new to sales the industry standard is normally 10%. This in no way guarantees you will have these percentages, but some of our directors report 25% closing ratio once a business owner has been given a full presentation.
