One of the greatest challenges of competing in the marketplace today =

lead-generating network has emerged for Web Page Designers to bring =
you clients in need of the very services you have to offer. You =
might say we specialize in making introductions.
Look at the Market Potential.
A recent Wall Street Journal Report has predicted there will be 3 =
Billion Web Pages in 3 years. Just Three years. Just look at A T & =
T=B9s recent announcement offering FREE INTERNET SERVICES to their =
MILLIONS of customers. There are millions of businesses in the =
World that don=B9t have Web Pages. Fortune 1000 companies are =
creating new departments just for creating Interactive Web Pages.
Over 500,000 new businesses open each year just in The United States =
and remember the Internet means the World has just opened up to =
you,which includes a virtually untapped market of Home-Based =
Businesses-This year alone an expected 63 Million are predicted to =
be working from home.
And every one of them to wants to be on The Internet! It is cheaper =
and more effective, to name a few advantages for businesses. =
Take a look at just one successful campaign that=B9s working.
We recently placed a classified advertising in local small =
newspapers starting out =B3An Entrepreneurs Dream=B2. We offered web =
page, 1-800- Voice Mail and Fax on Demand services for one year for =
only $295.00. We received thousands of inquiries. =
None of the customers purchased solely the initial services we were =
offering, because they wanted additional services. =
The average customer will spend $1,000.00 or more. These same ads =
will begin to appear this month in major national magazines such as =
Home Office Computing, Inc. Magazine, Nations Business, =
Entrepreneur, Success and many others. =
These ads will appear continually. We have many customers that have =
inquired about services and we have been unable to fulfill their =
request. These are solid leads. If you=B9re good at what you do, =
these leads can become your customers. =
