Hi Guys, this is (Designer), and (SEO person) *Introduce yourselves mention experience and position at astonish assure client they are in safe experienced hands* We just wanted to do a quick agenda of this meeting so we can stay on track. Designer: The goal today's meeting is to set a foundation. No final decisions will be made today, but we want to get a good start so we can “jump off the deep end” into the Astonish process.We are going to go through a quick VIO overview for you. Then we will go through a design overview, ask you a few questions to capture some information, and make sure that we have a focused direction for the new VIO. Ultimately, we want to gain all the insight we can so we can make it easy for the user who visits the website to use it and get a quote or contact you. Once we finish that up I am going to hand the meeting over to (SEO person)SEO person: I am going to briefly go over what SEO is with you, how we can tailor SEO for you, and what your expectations for Astonish SEO should be.
Ok, VIO It’s more than just a website. Let’s be honest most websites out there are plain stagnant pages that house information. That’s NOT what the VIO is! The VIO is more than a website because it’s main goal is to drive traffic and convert traffic into sales opportunities. We do this by using a blended strategy that includes Search Engine Optimization, a simple high converting contact form, and a recorded #800 that you can use for further sales training, as well as high end multimedia presentations that are unique to the industry. This blended strategy allows us to build you a customized VIO that functions as a high converting multiple reach vehicle, that funnels traffic to you and then converts that traffic into sales opportunities.
Why VIO?RESULTS that is why VIO. We have over 15 years of experience building customized results generating digital marketing solutions. We started in the automotive space and dominated it, we moved into the insurance space with an arsenal of information on best practices and we’ve constructed the VIO to be a HIGH converting multiple reach vehicle. We can do this because we design and build our VIOs with the modern consumer in mind. Let me stop here DID YOU KNOW that 85% of modern consumers start online? People don’t go to the yellow pages, or the newspaper any more, they start with Google and go from there. You have to focus your marketing and sales efforts online. The Astonish System is here to help you do that. How do we know what works? Lets look at the next slide.
Testing, we have tested and tested and tested our VIOs to make sure that they function supremely well. An effective VIO accomplishes two things. First, it makes your agency easily found by prospects. Second it converts the prospects into sales opportunities, by making it easy for them to contact you!
What are your best selling products? By establishing which products are your bread and butter we can create a VIO that funnels traffic appropriately and ultimately drives conversion rates up. We recommend choosing 3 to 4 products for two reasons. Firstly because your home page is prime real estate and we want to use it to effectively promote what you do best. Secondly, it keeps the site clean and easy to navigate. In preparation for speaking with you it seems like you focus on (x,y & z) Is that correct? OK great, are there any other potential prospects that we haven’t discussed yet? Ok Great, Do you have any niche focuses that we haven’t covered?While doing my research I noticed that it seems like you are trying to attract people who: (insert here). Is this correct? Ok the information I have gathered is great and really going to help me develop a VIO that reflects your agency and also simplifies the shopping and buying process for your customers! Ok let’s move on to talking about your current website!
Alright well I am getting excited to get started on your new look and feel I want to go over the next steps with you to so you know what to expect.I will design your new VIO in the next 5-7 business days. When I am finished I will send it off to your RFM so you can view it. On the first pass, nothing moves, nothing links, nothing clicks, all we are looking to do here is to establish a base look and feel. When you receive the first design I want you to do two things, first be excited! Second gather your thoughts about it, and let us know if you have any necessary changes. We will make the changes and then ask you for approval. We only need approval on the baseline foundation of the look and feel. The look and feel of your VIO can be fluid, it can continue to evolve to reflect you as an agency. We just need approval so we can push your VIO into the build phase because our goal is to have it live in 45 days. We want to have it done in 45 days so the Astonish System can start generating results for you, and so we can start benchmarking your success and initiating your long term SEO strategy as soon as possible! While all of this is going on we also need you to Start Gathering DNS Information- We have found that a delay in gathering DNS info delays the Go Live process. We want to begin gathering your DNS information right away so when your new VIO is ready, we can go live. If you need help in this process, we can help. Your RFM can set up a call with our Production manager. Ok awesome guys, it was great discussing your new VIO with you, are there any questions you have for me?
