I’m putting together a few web products for newbies. Such as turn key website solution that includes starter SEO as well as website text writing. I’m convinced (did some polls too) that it will be popular among off-line professionals (DRs, lawers) and off-line businesses (contractors, cleaning service, restaurants). The idea is good starter kit at good price . Sites are not template, but nothing boutique either. Now the question how to sell it. Online competition is crazy and who said that off-line business owner will rush online to buy website. Best I came up with is to hire a sales rep on nice commission and let them sell. Is it a right approach? How do you guys sell (beside referrals)?
I don't think description of the site really makes deference Just a nicer basic web presence: custom design, few pages, couple scripts, basic hosting, and writing of the content, plus SEO: press release and it's web-distribution, submission to catalogs, etc. So what do you think?
It’s difficult to say how much. You can create site and explain then DP members decide approximately how much it cost. Then you can create one more and price will be approximately that first one
As you stated, an in-house sales person is the way to go. You are right in that busines won't come to you. Especially the busy folk. They care about their $300+ an hour jobs. And though they want a website, they don't have time and you will therefore have to call on them. It will work wonders for you, trust me. You'll be the only guy in front of them pitching your product while everyone else is waiting on SEO to majically get them in front of people who don't spend a lot of time online to begin with... ... just my 2 cents.

Yes. Telemarketing actually works well for this. I know-ive seen some web companies EXPLODE using STRONG TM...
