The internet is open for business 24 hours a day, but the day and time of day you send out an email (or even a tweet) will massively impact your feedback / sales!

An excellent post, which couldn't have been written by one of the new wave of internet marketing gurus, as they haven't got a clue about real-world selling. Props to Jim!

As a customer, I probably think to myself several times a week "if they asked me I would tell them..." But they don't ask, and I don't go back. I too would love to hear some strategies for internet sales that don't involve spamming clients with unwanted emails. You made a very relevant point about asking the customer.

I often lost clients and didn't understood why. Many of them left and said : ok, I like it and I'll be back to close the deal. Some returned and some don't. Now I have a starting point to research why that happened. Hi,

When speaking of timing, I have noticed that regardless of how mundane the question is... buyers are testing for responsiveness. If I answer right away, there is a greater chance of a purchase if the buyer is using the response as a measure of a purchase. This is why older e-mails are answered last since the milk has "boiled over" already. It may seem like an odd strategy, but I actually answer all my e-mails from fresh to old.
