How YOU Can Get in on the Exploding Mobile Industry
Nov 19th
Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last ten years, you know that the mobile industry is fast-growing and is responsible not just for the creation of wildly successful companies, but entirely new niche industries.
As the early settlers of California during the Gold Rush days used to say, “There’s gold in them thar hills!”
Today, the “hills” are in mobile technology, and the “gold” is money to be made, but the same basic principle applies: this is an early time for a booming industry. Those who enter the mobile industry today have an opportunity to get in on something that will in the future become increasingly saturated and difficult to break into.
For today, however, the door is still open.
And we’re issuing open invitations to entrepreneurs through our white label app reseller program!
The product
Bizness Apps is the world’s most popular platform for small businesses to build their apps on. App creation is simple, the features are robust, and the apps function smoothly and look great. We think our product is awesome and judging by the market’s response, a lot of people agree.
The opportunity
There are over 20 million small businesses in the U.S. alone, but less than a half of 1% has published their own apps! With mobile device usage exploding, the opportunity here is incalculably large. Small businesses need apps, and if you can give them those apps, you might just have a fantastically successful company.
I want in!
No prob. That’s why we created our app reseller program. It allows you to run your own app selling business your own way, but to use our platform to provide apps to your customers.
Even though our program offers as much independence as you want, we still offer unprecedented support. Need a slick website for your business? You can make it for free in minutes with Bizness Web. Need leads to get you started? You can find them, contact them, and track progress for free with Bizness CRM.

5 Ways to Boost Mobile App Sales
Aug 7th
Increasing sales as one of our white label mobile app resellers is a never-ending journey. But all too often, we can fall into habitual routines and forget to evaluate the effectiveness of our sales tactics. The usual result is that opportunities to generate revenue are not maximized.
The five strategies below will help you bring a fresh perspective to your mobile app sales efforts, and identify areas for improvement. Implement these tips, and your sales will be trending upward in no time.
1. Analyze your leads
Are you tracking where your leads come from, how well they convert, and what actions each prospect ultimately takes? If not, you’re missing out on critical information that can be extremely useful!
When you know where your leads come from (e.g. phone, SEO, banner ads) and how leads from each channel perform, you’ll know 1) which channels to work harder at, and 2) which are the most profitable.
Knowledge is power, and when it comes to sales, the more you track, the more knowledge you have.
2. Polish your presence
Your website is essentially your storefront, so it pays to put your best foot forward. Make sure the design is clean and simple, the text is error-free, and the navigation is intuitive.
No matter where your leads come from, it’s likely that they’ll take a look at your website at some point. If your site looks good – it will inspire confidence and aid your sales efforts. If not, you might lose a customer that was ready to make a purchase simply because your virtual appearance created doubt about your capabilities.
3. Talk to customers
There really is no substitute for this one. In conversations with customers (and prospective customers) you’ll learn what matters to them most, and you’ll have a chance to get honest feedback about your business. It’s easy to become convinced of incorrect ideas when the only voice you hear is your own. That’s why it’s essential to listen carefully to customers.
You might think that in an online world, actual conversations are a thing of the past, but that couldn’t be more wrong! Social media has created a perfect platform for reading up on what customers want. It also doesn’t hurt to simply reach out via phone every now and then and see how things are going with a mobile app you’ve produced for a customer.
Not only will you get good information – you might also find out that the customer needs additional apps or websites!
Talking to customers is a good thing.
4. Special promotions
Everyone loves a sale, and mobile app customers are no different. If you offer bundle deals (e.g. discounts for ordering apps on multiple platforms), limited time coupons, or trial offers, you can earn extra business.
Sometimes, you have to give a little to get a little, you know?
5. Focus on your customers’ customers
When you’re a B2B company, you have to look beyond your customers to see who it is your customers are trying to serve. That is, if you want to sell a restaurant on the idea of an app, you need to understand restaurant patrons. Or, if you want to sell a real estate agency on a mobile website, you have to understand a bit about buyers and sellers of real estate.
The point is, if you can demonstrate why your services will help customers serve their own customers, you’ll have a better shot at succeeding as a mobile app seller.

5 Sales Tips for Mobile App Resellers
Jul 20th
Being a mobile app reseller requires two things 1) mobile apps and 2) reselling. We can provide you with the foundation to deliver both of these things, but the second part can be challenging. To help you focus on the keys to selling mobile apps, we have a few tips to remember:
1. Stay top of mind
If you’ve been in touch with a small business that is interested in putting out an app, don’t fade away. Share relevant information so that the project doesn’t die. Small business owners are pressed for time, and it’s easy for them to lose sight of an item that isn’t currently “on fire.” Without being obnoxious, reach out with articles or other messages and content that relate to why it’s great to have an app. This way, you minimize the risk that you’ll be forgotten.
2. Focus on timing
Sometimes, a good project can be put off indefinitely. To give customers a little bit of a nudge, offer better terms to those that are ready to make a purchase. This can be a one-day discount, express servicing for those that purchase by the week’s end, or another desirable benefit that’s only available for a limited time. For many, this is all that’s needed to get the ball rolling.
3. Remind them of the competition
There’s no better time than the present to publish an app, because the competitive advantage of being a first mover will vanish over time. Remind prospects that the longer they wait, the more likely it becomes that a competitor will publish an app first and start soaking up market share. It’s never too late to put out an app, but the best time is now!
4. Seal the deal
Once someone is ready and positive about the possibility of creating an app, don’t delay and let a lot of time pass by. Keep things moving so that obstacles don’t come up and derail your deal. Handling things efficiently is part of providing great service, so start things off on the right foot by sealing your deal at the right time.
5. Accept failure
What? This is the ultimate, “No no” in sales literature! How could we say that?
Well, simply put: we find it to be true. The fact of the matter is, not everyone is going to buy what you’re selling, and that’s okay. You want to stay positive and help out all of those who could use your services, but not every business wants or needs an app. Don’t be crazy or desperate and try to force one on each person you meet.
Relax. It’s going to be okay. Some people will turn you down.
Take it in stride, learn from it, and come back ready to help the next person who really does need an app. That’s your target market, after all!
How Mobile App Resellers Can Use Testimonials to Grow Their Business
Mar 19th
If you’re trying to convince someone to buy from you, you can talk about the benefits of your offering until you’re blue in the face. Often enough, it works. But if you don’t have all day to spoon-feed your targets, you need a shortcut.
That’s where testimonials come in.
Testimonials use simple logic to persuade a target to buy from you. “Person X is just like you, and Person X liked my offering. Therefore, you will too!” It’s hard to argue with that, and most people won’t. The power of testimonials has been demonstrated many times. In fact, one website saw a 34% increase in conversions just by including a few bland testimonials on a particular page.
So, how do you get testimonials and use them effectively as a mobile app reseller? Here are some tips:
1. Don’t hide them
Don’t imprison your testimonials on a special “Testimonials” tab on your site. Celebrate them, and sprinkle them liberally around your site and marketing collateral. You don’t want people to have to find them, you want them to be on the fence about contacting you, and then to notice a testimonial that comforts them and seals the deal.
Testimonials should find prospects, not the other way around.
2. Ask for testimonials (timing is key)
Don’t wait for people to gather outside your door and start singing hymns of praise. Instead, incorporate testimonial or feedback requests into your regular business practices. When you complete an app, and the customer is at a peak of happiness with it, that’s the time to ask for a quick note about their experience.
This also ties into keeping in touch with your customers. You should contact them regularly to check in or deliver info. Don’t harass or irritate them, but don’t drop off the face of the Earth either.
3. Get as much personal information as you can
Let’s look at two example testimonials:
“This app developer is the greatest there is!”
–Jeff Worthington, Owner of Jeff’s Pastries (jeffspastries.com).
“This app developer is the greatest there is!”
–Some guy named Jeff
Which one looks more credible to you? The first one, of course!
The more personal information you obtain for your reviews, the better. First and last name are key, a photo is great, and a link to their business is also nice. If you can attach a link to a related case study or showcase their app in some way, that’s also good.
The more credible your testimonials are, the more amplified their power becomes.
4. Deliver great service
That’s where glowing testimonials come from – great service experiences. If you’re just adequate, the testimonial will be, too. Ensure that your clients are enthusiastically satisfied, and their testimonials will make you look like a hero.
5. Use them when selling
Reference your testimonials and past cases when selling to prospects. If someone sends an email with a question, talk about experiences with past clients in your response. You don’t have to cite them directly, but if a prospect asks about whether the app will work well with their customers for example, you can say that most clients are surprised at how fast the apps show a return on investment, and add, “One client I worked with was concerned about the same thing, but he ultimately said the investment was worth every penny,’ so you don’t have to be worried there.
Again, testimonials are a an extremely effective way to help with common obstacles when selling.
You do good work, so don’t be shy about sharing the kind words that your clients have said about your services. Testimonials are one of the most powerful tools you have – we recommend that you don’t leave them lying in the toolbox.
5 Free Apps for Mobile App Resellers
Mar 13th
Life in a mobile app company can be challenging, but helpful apps are like helpful staff – they make your life easier and take burdens off your shoulders. Here are five of our favorite apps that are trusted by many to perform critical business functions:
1. Skype
Unlimited free calls, worldwide.
If we told you, years ago, that a company would one day offer unlimited free calls, worldwide, you would have laughed at us, right? Then you would have asked us what the company’s name was, so you could short the stock when they adopted such a crazy strategy, correct?
That notwithstanding, it’s exactly what Skype offers, from your desktop. They also offer communications solutions at extremely low rates on your mobile devices, as well. If your provider is expensive, and your business has a high call volume, Skype can be an amazingly cost-effective workaround.
2. Bizness CRM
Bizness CRM features a user-friendly sales pipeline that easily tracks sales without the confusingly useless 10,000 additional features. We organize local leads by industry clearly and concisely and then narrow them down based on numerous optional criteria. Bizness CRM is simple to use, free to try, and the only CRM built for companies specifically targeting small businesses.
Also, as a Bizness Apps reseller, we include a free lifetime account to Bizness CRM which makes selling to small businesses easier than ever!
3. Evernote
Evernote’s slogan is “Remember everything.” While that sounds kind of terrifying, the point is that we all have a number of items each day that we want to remember, but that we forget for one reason or another. Evernote is designed to fix that.
With Evernote, you can, of course, take notes, but you can also keep photos and perform other functions as well. It works with nearly every device, and it also auto-synchronizes across your various platforms. If you need a single, simple place where you can jot down ideas, reminders, tasks, and more, so that you can keep yourself on target, this is the app for you.
Oh, did we mention it’s free? It doesn’t get more cost-effective than that.
4. Dropbox
Have you ever tried to email someone a file and gotten a “bounceback” notice saying the file was too big?
Dropbox is the answer.
If you’ve got large files (say, 25MB or more), you can upload them to Dropbox, send someone a link via email, and then they can download the file at their leisure. Dropbox works really well for those that regularly have to share monster-size pdfs, collections of rich images, or video files. Uploading can also be very simple, using a Dropbox folder on your computer. Just move items to the folder, and they’ll appear in your online Dropbox location.
As with the other items on this list, Dropbox is usable for free.
5. Mint
Mint? Isn’t that just for personal finances? Nope.
Mint can easily be used as a business solution. It’s quite a powerful financial planning and tracking app, automatically reading from various account sources and organizing expenses to enable easy tracking and reporting. The interface is simple, clean, and intuitive, making Mint a pleasure to use.
And guess what? Yep, it’s free!
6 Online Marketing Tips for Mobile App Resellers
Mar 12th
As case studies continue to roll out that show the undeniable importance of online marketing in the modern world, small business owners and mobile app resellers must examine their own marketing efforts to ensure that they are gaining sales in the most cost-effective way possible. The tips below will help you get started with online marketing and ensure you spend your online marketing dollars effectively:
1. If You Don’t Have a Website, Get One
This should go without saying at this point. There are very few businesses that can survive without a website in this day and age, and they are very special indeed. If your business is one of them, however, there’s no way of knowing when the day will come that this will no longer be true. And by then, it may be too late to change.
Moreover, if you’re not online, you may not know what you’re missing. In fact, customers may be submitting reviews online about your business that are having a massive negative impact on your incoming leads, and you wouldn’t even know it.
A simple website is free to create, cheap to maintain, and couldn’t be easier to get up and running with ready-made site templates like WordPress. Think of it as an online business card, at first. Then, once you’re comfortable, keep developing your site and online efforts, and find the ocean of new leads from people looking for your products and services.
2. Understand the Value of Each Social Media Channel
The U.S. Small Business Administration reports that only 24% of businesses have waded into the social media waters, stating that most owners simply don’t know where to start. They advise that, instead of trying to learn everything all at once, spend a little time getting to know each platform (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) each week. Then, once you’re familiar with them, there are a couple of simple things you can do to participate. One is to “follow” or “friend” influential people or businesses in your industry, and the other is to post or share information or content that is relevant and interesting to you.
3. Know How Customers Spend Their Time Online
There are five main ways people spend their time online, and they’re all about even in terms of time spent. The activities are:
• Social Networking
• Online Searches
• Reading
• Sending Messages
• Watching Video / Shopping
Keep this breakdown in mind when allocating your online marketing budget to various channels. This doesn’t necessarily mean that each should represent equal spending, as effectiveness of ads and content varies from each channel and depends largely on what industry you are in. That said, it’s important to be aware that a consumer is just as likely to be spending a given minute on social media as watching video or pulling up a search engine. Spend accordingly.
4. Don’t Ignore Mobile
People love their mobile devices, and usage continues to climb. Soon, mobile usage will overtake desktop usage, according to certain projections. As important as a website is, a mobile-optimized website has become a necessary companion item. Put it on your list!
5. Buying Ads Online
Pay-per-click campaigns are ad campaigns whereby you place an ad that appears in search results (on Google, for example), or on a popular website (a local newspaper’s site, for example), and pay a very small amount each time someone clicks on it. A basic ad placed in the right online location can drive a decent amount of traffic to your website, and is worth testing out. There are many popular services that can help you get started. Google AdWords is the mainstream solution, and is a great place to begin.
6. Email Campaigns
Email campaigns are the modern equivalent of sending postcards and letters to prospects in your area. There is still a place for both, but it’s worth noting that email campaigns are far cheaper to run and much easier to coordinate.
As with other solutions above, there are excellent tools and programs available to help you get started. MailChimp and Constant Contact are two popular ones. Resources like these will allow you to gather a list of email contacts, schedule message transmission, and manage/analyze responses.
Don’t be sacred to get online and start promoting – the (virtual) world awaits!

1. Android apps are included unlimited & free. You can offer them to your customers, and you don’t have to pay us a dime.
2. Mobile websites are included unlimited & free. You can give these to customers without paying us anything either.
3. Bizness CRM is free. You can use it to generate all the sales you like without even thinking about giving us a payment.
How do we make any money? Well, we have a paid iPhone app program that generates a little revenue here and there, but that’s not what we’re focused on today. Today we’re talking about free stuff.

Essentially, the Bizness Apps platform makes it extremely easy to develop beautiful, functional apps for small businesses everywhere. Our white label resellers run their own app development companies using the platform.

Leveraging free products into sales
Providing a prospect with a free Android app or mobile website can be a great way to demonstrate your capabilities and earn a sale. They prove that you can create attractive, workable products that potential clients can actually see and use. They don’t have to wonder what type of product they might get from you. It’s right there in front of their eyes.
Then, after they see how nice your products are, it becomes a lot easier to sell them on the idea of a paid iPhone app. It’s the most popular app platform, and it’s a natural fit for businesses that already have their “toes in the mobile waters.” Thus, the free products open the door for a sale later on.
Of course, as an alternate strategy, you could simply charge for the Android apps and mobile websites as you see fit. We leave it up to you.
How Bizness CRM fits into all this
Bizness CRM is a powerful tool that was designed for selling to small businesses. It’s extremely simple to use, and it can help you:

Free tools that help you generate revenue. You really can’t beat that.
