Having the Conversation

Confidential and Sensitive 48

Conversation Starters

What is your website address? I don’t have a website? Let me tell you about how a website

can be a real benefit to your business…. Yes? Are you happy with your website? Would you like to do

more online?

Consider how much time and money you spend on brochures or other marketing materials.

A website can be as simple as an online brochure. Web-based brochures can be updated quickly and more cost effective than traditionally printed brochures – and they have a wider reach!

Confidential and Sensitive 49

Handling Objections

You already have a website and you are happy with your current hosting provider.

Customers get a mini-campaign of custom emails that can be sent to 10 customers every month.

You are a small business that does not use email or computers, you don’t need a website.

Everyone is on the internet now and so are your competitors. People expect you to be online. Instead of searching the Yellow Pages, people go to search engines i.e. Google .

Handling Objections

I’m a local company in business for 30 years, I don’t need a website!

Websites offer credibility Do you have a directory ad? Consumers are researching

online – they expect to find you, can they find you? Update your website at

anytime with easy-to-use, do-it-yourself tools.

You can be online for as little as $ 14.99 / month.

Handling Objections

You already have a website but you don’t use it. With our easy-to-use website building and marketing tools,

updating your website is quick and easy. Creating and maintaining a website wont feel like a task. Out of date information could lead to lost customers.

I already have a website, but how do I switch over? A welcome letter will be provided (by Hostopia) upon sign up,

that will walk the customer through on transferring their website. The customer will have to call their current hosting provider to cancel after signing up with Knology.

Confidential and Sensitive 52
