		<description>Hello Yaro,

Thanks for getting back to me.  I am actually playing around with SugarCRM and created my first LAMP to host it on my desktop.  I am thinking of trying out Aweber myself... i&#039;ve read the good things you have to say about it so i figure its worth a shot... i am not expecting dramatic results overnight... like anything there is a learning curve.  

I am looking to develop my own content off of CommerceCubes for people looking to do specific things... how-to guides and articles for Commerce-based technologies.  Using a little adwords to get people to the site but at the same time focus on building value to the site as i figure that will keep it sticky... I need to learn more about landing pages... but i&#039;ve been reading a lot of MarketingExperiments.com articles which also has articles on split-testing and other topics... PPC... comparision engines, etc.

Thanks for the feedback and tips Yaro... still coming to Toronto in July?  Talk soon,

		<description>Hey Lucas - for my businesses, I really only use autoresponder emails via AWeber to automate my sales process. Most of my customers come either converted already or are heavy prospects so only need a few short answers before they decide to buy. 

I know some people use CRM systems to control the whole client relationship process creating some pretty good data for mining purposes. 

Then of course there is software for split testing, but I haven&#039;t used any as yet.

Google AdWords conversion tracking tool is something I use which is handy. 

Basically there are many little programs that automate and make my businesses more efficient, which all combine over time to improve things, but I don&#039;t have any more specific software recommendations beyond that. 

My online income sources are really very simple.</description>

		<description>Hello Yaro,

It partially answers my question... The second half of this would be is what to suggest/recommend to automate things on my end, software-wise.  I know you are a fan of Aweber are there any other tools that would be useful that you can think of?  

Talk soon Yaro,

		<description>Yes Dave, quite true. You can definitely be proactive in encouraging customers to become evangelists - a few automatic mechanisms encouraging word of mouth and referrals is a good start.</description>

		<description>Lucas - I know there is software to handle things like split testing which can optimize your sales copy, of course you have to conduct the tests.

You can use email autoresponders to capture prospects and sell to them automatically over time - that&#039;s a key automation function you should have.

Does that answer your question or were you after something else?</description>

		<description>Good one Yaro.  My only thought would be that I think there is a fourth step:  turning converted customers into sales people.  That is, meeting their needs so well they spread the word to their friends who also become converted customers.

		<description>Hi Yaro,

I&#039;ve been meaning to ask you if you have any recommendations for online software that deals in these 3 areas, more specifically the latter 2.  I only ask because since i&#039;ve been running CommerceCubes the past few months i&#039;ve been spending a good chunk of time converting prospects to clients the old fashioned way and while i do have results to show for it i am wondering about a more automated sales system to handle/offload some of this and improve my results (after coming up to speed with the learning curve of said system)... any thoughts on this Yaro?  Look forward to your response.
