SHOCK Your Business to Create Growth!

I made a really bold claim right from the start that everything you have ever learned... everything you have ever been taught... and everything you have ever been told about marketing is WRONG!

I asked you to watch a 73 minute video (click here to watch) that I hoped would prove this to you beyond any reasonable doubt, and teach you the proper steps to take to make marketing work for your business.

I then pointed out some of the main points made in that video, such as the purpose of marketing is to help facilitate your prospects' decision-making process. I said there were two additional ways to look at marketing's purpose... to enter the conversation taking place in the head of your prospect... or to answer the number one question on your prospect's mind at just the right time.

All of these do an excellent job of defining the real purpose when it comes to marketing your business.

Unfortunately, most marketing doesn't do this at all, and explains why so many businesses struggle to generate leads and close sales.

We then began a lengthy discussion about the three fundamentals of marketing...

• have something good to say
• say it well
• say it often

To have something good to say means that your business MUST be unique when compared to all the others who sell what you sell.

You must be different... there must be something that separates your business from all of your competition.

Then once you have something good to say about your business, now you have to say it well.

Unfortunately, most businesses DON'T!

They saturate their marketing with platitudes such as highest quality, lowest prices, family owned and operated... and these platitudes are absolutely meaningless to most prospective buyers.

I then gave you a "magic formula" that would bestow upon you the unprecedented ability to "say it well" for your remaining days as a business owner... the Conversion Equation.

Interrupt, Engage, Educate and Offer is the way to format every piece of marketing you create... from ads, letters and emails to brochures, flyers and especially your website.

The Interrupt refers to an attention-grabbing headline - it MUST be problem-based and focused on a major hot button for the prospects you're targeting.

The Engage is a subheadline that promises a solution to the problem referenced in the headline.

The Educate part of your marketing provides the solution and backs it up with evidence and proof.

And the Offer must be compelling and provide VALUE to the prospects you target.

To help you write powerful and compelling headlines and subheadlines yourself, I passed on my "insider tip" to help you.

Prospects basically have just two things on their mind...

a problem they have and don't want

a solution they want and don't have

Your headline should highlight the MAJOR problem they have and don't want, and your subheadline should promise them the solution they want but don't have.

I also offered you my Marketing Message Starter Kit to help you with your future marketing (Click here to download).

I showed you before and after website examples where the "before" represented a typical business website... and then the "after" where we applied the Conversion Equation (Click here to review the two websites again).

In the psychologist's "before" site, he attempts to target ALL of the prospects who may have a need for one or more of his services.

But in the "after" site, he addresses only the parents with kids suffering with emotional and behavioral problems, and therefore gains the ability to speak to them directly and target their hot button, problem-based issues.

But then I said that the real key to the success of the "after" site is the Informational Offer!

This has to do with the Buyer's Journey... the single, most important visual you need as a business owner in order to dominate your market (Click here to review).

This is a visual representation of your prospect's decision-making process, and it's the way most prospects decide whether or not they will buy what you sell.

They typically start on the left side and slowly progress to the right side.

But look what 99% of prospects are really searching for - INFORMATION!

Information is actually referring to "evidence"... the prospect is looking for evidence or proof that you truly offer them the best deal (aka - the most value for the money they will pay you).

This is called "strategic marketing," and if you will learn how to execute a strategic marketing campaign, you will see anywhere from a doubling to a ten to fifty fold increase in your leads and sales... and here's why.

Most prospects DON'T buy the first time they see an ad (or the second, third, fourth or fifth).

It often takes multiple marketing messages before someone decides to buy what you sell.

But most businesses these days don't have multimillion dollar ad budgets like the big companies do... and yet they keep trying to market the same way they do.

Small business owners have to get smart about their marketing.

They need to adopt what we call "direct response marketing," where you offer something of tremendous interest or of a highly compelling nature that entices qualified and interested prospects to request your offer in exchange for their contact information such as their first name, email address, home address, phone number or whatever is appropriate for your type of business.

Now the business owner can start marketing to this smaller, select group of prospects more often and at a lower cost.

This process will dramatically increase leads and produce far more sales than standard marketing ever will.

Finally, after you "say it well," fundamental #3 says you have to "say it often."

This is simply referring to the power of "repetition."

Fortunately, when you follow the Conversion Equation of Interrupt, Engage, Educate and Offer, you don't have to use as much repetition to get your message across when compared to most advertising that relies strictly on branding.

But here's the problem... how can a small business owner afford to do that?

The answer - implement what we refer to as a "drip campaign."

A drip campaign involves staying in touch with your interested prospects... the ones that requested your informational offer.

That's why you want to offer information to your prospects when it's appropriate, so you can capture their contact information and then convert them into customers by staying in touch with them... reminding them of the benefits of your product or service... and helping them down their Buyer's Journey until they finally arrive at the point where they're ready to buy.

But what type of information do you send your prospects through a drip campaign?

Simple, you use the information in the informational offer you sent them originally.

You simply take individual components from that offer and remind and reinforce them to your prospects.

This is hard to explain, so I showed you an actual example of this.

Remember the Sunroom Guide...

Click here to review it again.

Look at the various sections again in this Guide.

Then click here to see a postcard drip campaign that highlights and reminds the prospect about the benefits in the Guide...continues to overcomes their objections... and even reinforces WHY the prospect should use this sunroom contractor over their competition.

Notice also how EACH postcard follows the Conversion Equation of Interrupt, Engage, Educate and Offer.

If I owned a sunroom company, I would invest in a Facebook pay-per-click campaign where I would place an ad on Facebook... send prospects that clicked on that ad to my website where I would offer them my FREE Sunroom Idea Guide.

They would have to enter their first name and email address to download the guide, and I would capture their information and immediately begin my drip campaign to them.

Sure, I truly hope my Idea Guide will convince them to buy one of my sunrooms, but the reality is that sunroom prospects often take months and possibly years before they're ready to buy a sunroom.

Well, during that interim period, I plan to stay in touch with them... nurture them by reminding them of all the fabulous benefits my sunrooms offer... overcoming their objections along the way... and emphasizing to them why they should buy their sunroom from me and not my competition when the time does come for them to buy.

And by following this strategic marketing campaign, I will ABSOLUTELY dominate the entire sunroom industry... guaranteed!

Now do you agree with me that everything you have ever learned... everything you have ever been taught... and everything you have ever been told about marketing is WRONG!

But now you know the RIGHT way to market, and if you will follow my process outlined here, you too will position your business as the dominant force in your industry.

Previously, I offered to jump on the phone with you and perform a complete evaluation on your marketing and your website. It is still available!

It's 100% free and I promise it doesn't come with any type of sales pitch.

Using the Conversion Equation, I can show you exactly what to do with your website and marketing collateral that could double or triple the number of prospects who respond to your marketing.

How Did Starbucks Build A Multimillion Dollar Empire Using A Basic Commodity?

You can buy a cup of coffee at 7-11, Quik-Trip, Dunkin Donuts and even McDonalds… and buy it for $3.50 less than you can at Starbucks. So WHY are so many people Starbuck junkies?

Why is every airline bankrupt or nearing bankruptcy, and yet Southwest has made a profit every quarter but one since it started flying its planes in 1971? How did Apple come back from the dead and resurrect itself so it now sits at the top of the communications world?

What you need to know…

Starbuck's didn't just happen to get "lucky." This was a very carefully planned and crafted assault that was years in the making. In most cases, when you sell a basic commodity such as coffee, you're forcing yourself into a market that competes on nothing but price.

Well, that's what everyone else was indeed doing. 7-11, Quik-Trip, Dunkin Donuts and McDonalds were locked in battle to see who could offer the cheapest cup of coffee. In fact, most of them were providing it at cost as a way to entice customers to come in more frequently. They figured they could make up the lost profit with additional sales.

Starbucks looked at this and said "these guys are all fighting over who can offer a 50 cent cup of coffee. I wonder how we can get these same people to buy our coffee… and pay us $4 a cup in the process?"

Why you need to know this…

Obviously, they were successful. So how did they do it? In a word… "INNOVATION!"

If you want your business to grow and flourish, then you must stop competing on price. You have to find out specifically what your customers "want" from your business, and then innovate your business to not only give them what they want, but do so in a way that can only be described as "extraordinary."

Customers don't go to Starbucks to pay $4 for a cup of coffee. They pay $4 for the "experience" they enjoy at Starbucks. Starbucks innovated their stores to give their customers what they "wanted." Customers don't want to buy their coffee from a clerk. They want to buy it from a "barista." They don't want to buy coffee from a convenience store or a fast food restaurant. They want to buy their coffee from a specialty coffee establishment where the barista knows them by name and knows what they want to drink without them having to ask for it.

In short… they want an "experience," and they're willing to pay $4 a cup to get it.

The cost to you if you fail to act…

• Do you know exactly how to find that "sweet spot" that your competition knows nothing about?
• Do you know how to use that "sweet spot" to instantly attract new clients whenever you want?
• Would you like to finally understand how to separate your business from all of your competition?
• Would you be interested in positioning your business for market dominance?

You can learn to do this for your business… IF you can discover specifically what your customers want… and create an experience that compliments what they want.

Big Picture Summary

For the past few weeks I have been discussing the fundamentals of marketing in depth.
Let me pull all of the information together into a big picture summary for you so it all makes sense.

Do Just This One Thing And Your Sales Will Explode

Over the past several weeks, I have been writing about the fundamentals of marketing...

• have something good to say
• say it well
• say it often

Last week, I posted an article on the second fundamental... say it well.

Now let's discuss fundamental #3... say it often.

This is simply referring to the power of "repetition."

Let's face it, all of us are bombarded every day with marketing messages.

Experts claim we're exposed to approximately 3,000 ads every day.

That's why most of us completely ignore and simply tune out most if not all marketing messages.

There's just too much clutter, so you have to use repetition to break through it all.

Why do you think you see the exact same ad on TV day after day?

Prospects have to see an ad more than 20 times before it even begins to sink in.

Have you ever had a favorite ad that you found funny or heartwarming, but then discovered you couldn't name the product or service it was promoting?

Repetition is CRITICAL if you want your marketing to be successful.

Fortunately, when you follow the Conversion Equation of Interrupt, Engage, Educate and Offer, you don't have to use as much repetition to get your message across when compared to most advertising that relies strictly on branding.

But you still have to place your marketing in front of your prospects 3 to 6 times to insure you break through all of the marketing clutter.

But here's the problem... how can a small business owner afford to do that?

These days, marketing isn't cheap, and it's getting more expensive every year.

The answer - implement what we refer to as a "drip campaign."

A drip campaign involves staying in touch with your interested prospects.

OK... but who are your interested prospects?

They're the ones that requested your informational offer we discussed previously.

That's why you want to offer information to your prospects when it's appropriate, so you can capture their contact information and then convert them into customers by staying in touch with them... reminding them of the benefits of your product or service... and helping them down their Buyer's Journey until they finally arrive at the point where they're ready to buy.

Remember the Sunroom Contractor from my previous posts?

Think about this... how many people are ready to plunk down $30,000 for a sunroom on any given day?

Obviously not many, which is why that contractor offered a Sunroom Idea Guide in order to entice prospective sunroom purchasers to identify themselves by requesting that guide.

The contractor had them go to a specific landing page and enter their first name and email address so they could instantly download that guide.

Then after capturing that contact information, the contractor could begin a dedicated and continuous drip campaign whereby each prospect would receive additional information targeting specific details about purchasing a sunroom while highlighting and reminding the prospects about the benefits of owning a sunroom.

But what type of information do you send your prospects through a drip campaign?

Simple, you already have ALL of the information you need... it's all in the informational offer you sent them originally.

You simply take individual components from that offer and remind and reinforce them to your prospects.

Let me show you an actual example of this.

Remember the Sunroom Guide I showed you previously...

Click here to review it again.

Look at the various sections again in this Guide.

Then click here to see a postcard drip campaign that highlights and reminds the prospect about the benefits in the Guide...continues to overcomes their objections... and even reinforces WHY the prospect should use this sunroom contractor over their competition.

Notice also how EACH postcard follows the Conversion Equation of Interrupt, Engage, Educate and Offer.

By the way, postcards would be just one type of drip campaign this sunroom contractor could employ.

This EXACT same information could just as easily be sent out in the form of a flyer, a brochure, email or direct mail... or even as a radio or TV advertisement.

The information would remain the same... only the medium with which the messaging is delivered would change.

Next time, I will provide you with a full and complete summary of all the marketing information I've provided to you so far and give you the "big picture overview" that will bring all of this together.

P.S. -  I am close to publishing my 2nd marketing book?

I still need 2 final case studies for my publisher.

If you're interested, I'll find you more than $10,000 in less than 45minutes... over the phone... and I won't charge you anything for the service.

I only ask that you let me use your results in my upcoming book.

The Secret To Great Marketing

The purpose of marketing... to help facilitate your prospects' decision-making process.

There are two additional ways to view marketing's purpose in simpler terms...
1. Enter the conversation taking place in the head of your prospect
  2.  Answer the number one question on your prospect's mind... at just the right time

Evaluate your marketing and website based on that critical criteria.
How did your marketing stack up?

If you need help I will give you a hand with that evaluation using my proprietary Conversion Equation Evaluation form that has the power to predict the future success of your marketing... both from a results and a financial standpoint.

Today, let's discuss the three critical fundamentals of marketing that were highlighted in the video I asked you to watch.

Click here if you haven't watched it yet http://e-coachingsystem.com/

The three fundamentals of marketing are...
have something good to say
say it well
say it often

Let's explore that first fundamental today... have something good to say.
This fundamental is neglected by virtually EVERY business owner on the planet.

To have something good to say means that your business MUST be unique when compared to all the others who sell what you sell.

You must be different... there must be something that separates your business from all of your competition.

Remember several emails ago I mentioned that most businesses all look and say the EXACT same things?

When businesses copy each other, that forces those businesses into price competition, because price then becomes the ONLY differentiator for prospects to consider.

It becomes the ONLY value proposition left to the prospects.
Any business that determines it isn't unique MUST innovate so it does become unique.

Domino's Pizza did this back in 1971.
Domino's became a billion dollar behemoth in an overcrowded market back then.

Did Domino's make the best pizza? Not even close!
Did they offer comfortable in-house dining like ALL pizza places did back in those days? No way!

Did they offer the largest selection on their menu? NO... they offered the exact same pizza as ALL of their competitors!

They dominated by having something good to say that was radically different back then when compared to ALL the other pizza franchises... fresh hot pizza delivered to you in 30 minutes or less!

But then Domino's had to innovate in order to make good on that promise.
They specifically targeted hungry college kids living in crowded dorms (densely populated where few had transportation).

Domino's went to small shopping centers located nearby the various college campuses and rented small storefronts just big enough to accommodate a pizza oven and a preparation counter.

One kid made the pizza's while another delivered them.
The result - Domino's became a billion dollar behemoth in an overcrowded market.

You can do the EXACT same thing with your business.
And if you do, you will be well on your way to dominating your market, just like Domino's did.
