    Thanks Torrey!!! I've never seen anything like this before. Excellent and very helpful. Wow! I had no idea there were so many different reasons to make a purchase. I'm definitely going to use this list to improve my marketing. :)

    I really liked the list too.  I am happy to share! 

    There are MANY reasons why someone would secure cleaning services based on that list.  If you address those reasons, you can bring in more clients by selling that value to them.  ;)

    Re: 50 Reasons people "buy"

    I have an idea! How about we all visit each other's websites and see how many reasons for buying we can find in the website's content. My website is totally out of date though, but I'm planning on updating it soon. When I do the update, I'm going to see how many of these 50 reasons I can plug into my site without it looking too obvious, lol! I think it would be fun to visit each other's sites and come back here to post the buying reasons that we're able to find and give the text/content that supports it. It would also be interesting to get some baseline data before making any changes to the websites, because it would be interesting to see if adding additional reasons for buying would result in more online quote requests. What do you think? Yay? Nay?

    Let's do that.  When are you going to have time, may I ask?  LOL 

    I'd love to integrate more of those reasons into my site.  It sounds like a fun way to do it.  Let me know when you are ready and I am game!
