Pre-Launch Webinar Minutes – 25 Feb 10

Agenda Items:

1.  Getting Clients

2.  WP Page Templates

3.  Client Postcards

4.  What’s Next, Phil’s Rant, Thanks

1.  Getting Clients - Phil went over the steps we’ve been working on to get clients.  They are:

a. Identify clients via PPC ads
b. Enter them into the ALG system
c. Setup your client blog
d. Generate trial leads for clients
e. Follow-up with clients

He explained his recommended process and included screenshots of some of the PPC ads and one of the sites they lead to.

2.  WP Page Templates - Showed screenshots of updated and improved dental page templates.

He also showed the various menu configurations/displays now possible within Wordpress, as well as how the personalization function looks on an actual page.

Phil said he’s going to help each of us to get everything set-up properly and working.

3.  Client Postcards - Postcards should be used to introduce ourselves, not to try and sell.

Phil is working to get the ALG system configured to allow us to download a CSV file with all the mailing info that we can upload to a postcard site.  He’s currently researching mailing
services.

4.  What’s Next, Phil’s Rant, Thanks -

a.  What’s Next - Phil asked attendees to have two domains for their lead Gen business.  One for the lead capture site and the other for the client access to the leads.

All are asked to meet with Phil ASAP and he’ll help us get the final pieces in place.

If you haven’t already, research and enter into ALG a list of potential clients info who you’ll mail your postcards to.

After you’ve done that, you can generate the CSV list to be used with an online printing & mailing service, so that you can start contacting your prospective clients.

b.  Phil’s Rant - Your mission: get your domains prepared, install Wordpress on both domains, install the ALG WP-API plugin in each blog, schedule a 1 on 1 with Phil.

c.  Thanks - as always, thanks for sticking with ALG!  Lesser beings would have bailed by now! We’re definitely on the home stretch now…

Phil used the last few minutes of the meeting to do a live screen-sharing demo of a few things he had previously spoken about.

Pre-Launch Webinar Minutes – 4 Feb 10

Agenda Items:

1.  Live Demo

1.  Live Demo - After some technical difficulties, Phil managed to get everyone on both Skype and YuuGuu, for a live walk through and demo of new ALG screen views and functions.

Due to the size difference between the recording screen and the display screen, some portions of the presentation are not fully visible during playback of the webinar.

Since we were all live on Skype, it was also an excellent Q and A session.
