  • Hello, Eric here with a quick thought about your website Authenticliving

    Cool website!

    My name’s Eric, and I just found your site – Authenticliving – while surfing the net. You showed up at the top of the search results, so I checked you out. Looks like what you’re doing is pretty cool.

    But if you don’t mind me asking – after someone like me stumbles across Authenticliving, what usually happens?

    Is your site generating leads for your business?

    I’m guessing some, but I also bet you’d like more… studies show that 7 out of 10 who land on a site wind up leaving without a trace.

    Not good.

    Here’s a thought…

    How about making it really EASY for every visitor who shows up to get a personal phone call from you as soon as they hit your site…

    You can –

    Web Visitor is a software widget that works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address, and Phone Number. It lets you know IMMEDIATELY – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re literally looking over your site.

    https://resultleadgeneration.com to try out a Live Demo with Web Visitor now to see exactly how it works.

    You’ll be amazed—the difference between contacting someone within 5 minutes versus a half-hour or more later could increase your results 100-fold.

    It gets even better… once you’ve captured their phone number, with our new SMS Text With Lead feature, you can automatically start a text (SMS) conversation – immediately… and contacting someone in that 5-minute window is 100 times more powerful than reaching out 30 minutes or more later.

    Plus, with text messaging you can follow up later with new offers, content links, even just follow-up notes to keep the conversation going.

    Everything I’ve just described is simple, easy, and effective.

    https://resultleadgeneration.com to discover what Web Visitor can do for your business, potentially converting up to 100X more eyeballs into leads today!

    PS: Web Visitor offers a complimentary 14-day trial – and it even includes International Long Distance Calling.
    You have customers waiting to talk with you right now… don’t keep them waiting.

  • Hi Authenticliving,

    Most business owners pour money into marketing that doesn’t work. They run ads, post on social media, and hope for the best—only to be disappointed by the results.

    The problem? They’re relying on vague branding tactics instead of proven strategies.

    Dan Kennedy calls this the “ADHD approach to marketing”—jumping from one shiny tactic to another without a clear, measurable plan.

    But there’s a better way: Direct-Response Marketing.

    This approach focuses on generating real, measurable results, like leads, sales, and conversions. Here’s how you can start applying it today:

    Step 1: Speak Directly to Your Audience

    One of Dan’s key teachings is this: “If you’re speaking to everyone, you’re speaking to no one.” Direct-response marketing works because it’s personal.

    For example:

    A company selling weight loss supplements doesn’t just target “everyone who wants to lose weight.” Instead, they target busy moms who want to shed pounds quickly after having kids.

    A financial advisor doesn’t market to “everyone interested in saving money.” They craft campaigns for high-income professionals nearing retirement.

    Your Action Step: Write down your audience’s specific demographics, challenges, and goals.

    Step 2: Use an Irresistible Call-to-Action

    Every piece of marketing must tell the audience what to do next. Whether it’s “Download this guide,” “Sign up for a webinar,” or “Call now,” your call-to-action (CTA) should be clear and compelling.

    Example 1:
    A dental clinic offered a free teeth-whitening session for new patients. The clear CTA—“Call to schedule your free session today!”—resulted in a 200% increase in appointments.

    Example 2:
    A SaaS company ran ads with the CTA: “Get a 30-day free trial today.” The campaign boosted signups by 35%.

    Step 3: Track and Test Everything

    One of Dan’s most famous quotes is: “You can’t improve what you don’t measure.” Direct-response marketing relies on tracking every aspect of your campaign.

    What’s your click-through rate?
    How many leads did you generate?
    What’s your cost per acquisition?

    Example:
    A real estate agent ran Facebook ads targeting first-time homebuyers. By testing different headlines and images, they reduced their cost per lead by 50%.

    Tomorrow, we’ll dive into the art of crafting offers your customers can’t refuse.

    To your success,
    Kevin

  • Hello Authenticliving Owner

    My name’s Eric and I’m betting you’d like your website Authenticliving to generate more leads.

    Here’s how:

    Web Visitors Into Leads is a software widget that works on your site, ready to capture any visitor’s Name, Email address, and Phone Number. It signals you as soon as they say they’re interested – so that you can talk to that lead while they’re still there at Authenticliving.

    https://resultleadgeneration.com for a live demo now.

    And now that you’ve got their phone number, our new SMS Text With Lead feature enables you to start a text (SMS) conversation – answer questions, provide more info, and close a deal that way.

    If they don’t take you up on your offer then, just follow up with text messages for new offers, content links, even just “how are you doing?” notes to build a relationship.
