As a follow up to this discussion on Google's free sites for business... This week I had a prospect call in - after a few minutes discussion it was clear that he had much greater wishes than budget. I suggested he take a look at Google's free website option.
He said something like he had heard the radio ads and had already checked it out. He was not impressed with their offering. I believe he said, "they have a ways to go". At the end of the conversation he decided he needed to find a high school student to help him out. :) So for this random call-in lead, an unknown high school student was a better sounding solution that Google's free business sites. chris On Fri, Jul 29, 2011 at 7:13 AM, Jon Lebkowsky <[email protected]>wrote: > Second that.
