Hey guys,
Did you still remember myprevious post about my wife's virgin online business? Yes, the
wife started her very own online business doing service arbitrage. It
has been almost 2 weeks since she started her online business. So
far, she has successfully closed three sales. I would like to share
with you how she made her very first three sales.
After the wife placed advertisements on
the free classified ads websites, she got an email from an interested
client the very next day. I still vividly remember the look on her
face when she opened her email box and saw an email reply to her
advertisement. She was totally thrilled and couldn't stop smiling the
whole morning.
The prospective client asked a lot of
questions about the services she advertised, such as costs, estimated
time for completion and etc. She patiently answered all the
potential client's questions, hoping that she would score her first
sale very soon. Unfortunately, there was some misunderstanding
between the wife and the prospective client. The prospective client
just stopped replying to my wife's message and disappeared off the
face of the earth. The wife seemed a bit upset and discouraged by the
fact that she just unintentionally pissed her very first client off.
She said to me: “ I think I really
suck at customer service.”
I said to her: “ Ya, I think so too.
But I think your prospective client suck worse. You cannot possibly
please every client coming your way. What is important is that you
learn from this experience. Be prepared that you will be dealing with
all sorts of prospective clients. You will get better with time.”
The wife felt a bit relieved
afterwards. She continued to focus on getting more people to see her
advertisements. Her efforts paid off when she got a young lady
emailing her about the services. The young lady got a very good deal
from the wife as the wife was too afraid of losing the client again.
Within a few hours of email corresponse, she decided to purchase the
service.
Now comes the payment part. The young
lady decided to make payment through Paypal. As the wife had no clue
as to how to set up Paypal payment link, I offered to show her how to
do it step by step. Now she is an expert at this.
“Payment received from xxx.” My
wife shouted to me, grinning ear from ear.
The wife literally just made money from
thin air with very low or no risk at all.
Well done, my lovely wife!
Dave
