QUARRYVILLE
--
Don Fisher, Business teacher at Solanco High School, recently
invited local business owners to share their stories of successes and pitfalls with his senior high business students. As a result of the call, Dave Conklin of Quarryville, Steve Young of Lampeter and Rory Wilfong of Hempfield, visited Solanco High School to share their story and secrets for building a successful business on-line. The three are co-founders of ProspectMX, a worldwide internet lead generation business located in Lancaster as well as, GetMyHomesValue.com the highly successful lead generation website for realtors nationwide.
“If your ideas are great, but you can’t implement them, then you will have a tough time succeeding,” stressed Conklin.
During the two classes, the
gentlemen introduced students to the concepts of technology marketing, motivation, sales, customer support, legal issues and calculated risk taking. Young, Chief Financial Officer for ProspectMX, spoke to students about the importance of paying close attention to measuring risks by focusing on their business’s ROI, return on investment.
“Several of the students created and launched businesses, for the class project, that experienced successful outcomes,” said Fisher.
With the expertise of the ProspectMX team the students learned even more about how to continue to build their businesses and even how to launch businesses on the internet using tools and resources available on-line (many of which are free). Conklin asked the students to engage in a brainstorming exercise to illustrate how the activities they participate in on a regular basis could be enhanced and improved through their business ideas. The exercise suggested to the students that new business opportunities are just a few clicks away with the power of the internet.
“In our experience, many people find it necessary to have a website today just because it’s an expected business tool,” commented Wilfong. He added, “However, if your site is simply a poster on the internet that no one can find and interact with then it is money wasted. At ProspectMX we have the knowledge and tools to help business owners make money with their sites.”
