Do you find yourself regularly speaking to Fire and Security colleagues or leads who complain that they are extremely unhappy with their current situation… but when anyone suggests a solution, they always make the same excuses?<\/p>\n

One moan I hear a lot is:<\/p>\n

“Our Fire and Security website doesn’t get us any work.”<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

My response is always:<\/p>\n

“But why do you think that is?”<\/p>\n

4 reasons why your website might not be generating customers:<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. buyers are searching for fire safety or security services\u00a0but are not finding your website;<\/li>\n
  2. your website’s visitors don’t relate to\u00a0<\/span>the copy on your website<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. your leads don’t get the answers they need because\u00a0your contact form isn’t working properly\u00a0<\/span>; or<\/li>\n
  4. the leads that make enquiries are not the right type of buyers<\/a>, leaving everyone disappointed.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Yet the answer I get is: “Oh, the internet doesn’t work for our type of business…”<\/strong><\/p>\n

    “But you told me previously that it is<\/em><\/strong> working for your competitor…?”<\/p>\n

    “Ah yes, but they… [are the market leader, have a better name in the industry… or some other excuse about why the competition has an advantage]”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    End of discussion… until the next time they feel antsy enough to start complaining about their website… again!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

    Serial complainers…<\/h3>\n

    There was a meme on Facebook on New Year’s Day that talked about the phenomenon of complaining – apparently there are 3 types:<\/p>\n

    Venters<\/strong> –\u00a0 are not interested in hearing a solution that will help them<\/p>\n

    Sympathy seekers<\/strong> –\u00a0 believe they have it worse than everyone else and look for others to comfort them<\/p>\n

    Chronic complainers<\/strong>\u00a0– are in a constant state of complaint about the same thing over and over<\/p>\n

    The problem with negativity is that it drags you down, building neural pathways that leave your whole outlook saturated with doom and gloom.<\/p>\n

    As a business owner, that can have a catastrophic effect on your future growth… just like not getting enough enquiries!<\/p>\n

    You’ve heard of you can’t win them all<\/em>. How about you can’t lose them all<\/em>…?<\/span><\/p>\n
