David Coneglan - Waikato Region
www.webmarketingwaikato.co.nz
David joined Web Genius in 2009 after witnessing first hand the power of 'getting it right online'. As a small business owner David was experiencing the woes of pouring hard earned money into advertising 'black holes'.
"After spending large amounts of money on developing websites that produced no results at all, because they couldn't be found on any search engine - eventually I attended a Web Genius seminar on 'how to drive traffic to your website'," David says.
"What I heard at the seminar was totally enlightening - totally different from anything I had heard previously and what's more it all made total sense!
"Points like research before you start, give the search engines what they are looking for, make the content relevant to your customers, answer the questions of your customers from their perspective and in their language, build in a system that allows you to stay in touch with your customers etc, etc.
"As a result of what we learned I took the plunge and had a new site built using the Web Genius methodologies. The results were amazing and in the first week the site went live we sold more products online than we had in the previous six months. Online sales continued to grow at a fast rate and within a short time outstripped sales from our retail store."
Because of his own experience with the success of the Web Genius system David began working part-time as a Web Genius Sales Consultant before moving into a full time position - a role he finds immensely satisfying.
"Having the ability to consistently exceed clients' expectations is a great achievement. Through my involvement with Web Genius I have learned so much - I never cease to be amazed at the marketing results of 'getting it right online'."
