Groupon ain't goin anywhere.
People are freakin stupid. Always have been, always will be. Getting top notch salesmen on the streets is the only way to get the unwashed masses involved.
I have one site that is top of it's niche, complete category killer. Tons of traffic, trusted name, the whole ballgame. Getting advertisers and selling leads is damn near impossible online and on the phone. The leads alone, are a no-brainer, spend $5 make $100, but people will not buy them. Everyone knows the brand, visits the site for industry news and information, but like I said people are fuckin stupid.
Going out knocking on doors and making personal relationships is the only way to sell this shit. It's quite easy actually, especially when you offer an obvious increase in profits.
Sure a handful are smart enough to see and act on the obvious online, but like I said, the great unwashed masses are completely fuckin stupid and need to have their hand held. Hold their hands, make personal relationships, hand them the pen and they will sign.
This is how the deals war will be won. I highly highly doubt the 'fuck everyone we're google', or 'fuck everyone we're facebook' attitude is going to get them far in this battle.
Boots on the streets.
