Here’s a quick little post just to remind you about what you’re focusing on with your business website.
“Can my business model support more customers or would it just be adding fuel to the fire?”
If you’re business model isn’t adjusted well enough to accept an influx of customers you might want to take a look at it quick smart.
A website often brings a pretty consistent amount of customers per year – however – if you’re lucky and one of your business articles gets picked up by a news source, another more popular website, or is spreading virally on websites like facebook or twitter you can potentially experience a massive influx of customers.
To cope with that influx, you need to be flexible and able to adapt to a large amount of queries for your products/services.
So what would you do if you had 500 new customers at your door tomorrow?
I would screen them very carefully, select 3, send the rest away.
Unfortunately.

A completely appropriate thing to do for a service based business. You touched on the screening part and I think that’s really important, I’ll talk more about profiling customers using your website in a later post
Thanks for the comment Dave!
