New Free Book Offer Free 1-800 Voice Mail Service Only $39.00 per Guaranteed Lead, We call a guaranteed lead a client that actually engages your service. We have clients who need your services, guaranteed! One of the greatest challenges of competing in the marketplace today is simply getting your audience's attention. Finally, a 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 & Tıs recent announcement offering FREE INTERNET SERVICES to their MILLIONS of customers. There are millions of businesses in the World that donıt 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 thatıs working. We recently placed a classified advertising in local small newspapers starting out ³An Entrepreneurs Dream². 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 youıre good at what you do, these leads can become your customers. Presenting The Pinnacle Internet Company Network-A Network of Design Professionals!
