Do sales, client retention or customer satisfaction, keep you awake at night? You’re not alone, these issues are among the main things business owners worry about. But some businesses owners say things like:

• ‘We have more leads than we can cope with.’
• ‘Our customers are delighted, we get loads of referrals.’
• ‘Recession what recession, we’re struggling to keep up with demand!’

Far too many business owners miss out while others enjoy boom times. What are these successful doing companies doing differently? To share the secrets of how to grow business sales and profits, Ian Thomas joined internet marketing specialists, IRUN, at the end of 2008. Ian is a highly experienced business development specialist, with more than 30 years experience with companies from start-ups to huge multinational blue chip organisations, such as BP.

Smart online marketing techniques cost next to nothing and can deliver outstanding results very quickly; IRUN’s clients typically enjoy great results:

“I had my website developed by IRUN and in the first 9 months after it went live my business increased significantly. Enquiries increased by 60% and the conversion has doubled (from quotations to paying work has risen from 50% to 95%). IRUN also managed to secure a grant to cover the cost of my new website which led to at least one sizable job in the first month. All in all I can thoroughly recommend IRUN Business Intelligence”, says Richard Yelland of Picasso Painting & Decorating.

Ian Thomas comments, “I get a real buzz helping business owners grow their sales and profits using my experience in marketing and management and IRUN’s superb tools and strategies.”

Steve Darnell, Managing Director of IRUN Business Intelligence says, “local business owners are really fortunate, Ian’s extensive marketing knowledge, coupled with IRUN’s extensive portfolio of marketing tools and strategies, will be a great boost for a large number of companies, particularly in these difficult economic times.”
