The conversation in your prospect’s mind
There is a famous saying in the marketing world that suggests you should “Enter the conversation in your prospect’s mind…” The problem is that most marketing seems to be coming from the conversation in the seller’s or marketer’s mind. Ie. “..you need this so do business with us.” But most people are reluctant to respond to offers where they have to talk to a real person, especially when they’re still very early in the decision process. That reluctance leads to poor response rates from aggressive…

Start charging what you are worth
The vast majority of businesses I meet with just aren’t charging enough for their services. Even though they know they’re worth it, they fear the potential fallout from implementing a price increase. So they continue to undercharge for their services and survive on lower margins, or try to win more clients to make up for it. Then they run out of time in the week to service their clients. It’s a classic business treadmill. I believe the main reason is that they don’t have a…

Know, Like, Trust
The number one marketing challenge for most business owners is to try to convince a lot of people who don’t even know they exist to start doing business with them. Advertising is based on this challenge. Blast your message to a wide audience so they know you exist then ask them to do business with you, hoping a small percentage respond. It can work to a certain extent because it’s based on pure volume. But it’s expensive and highly inefficient. Why? Because, generally, that isn’t…

Your biggest business asset
Every business needs an audience if it wants to thrive. And that audience needs to know you, like you and trust you before they decide to buy anything from you. So your biggest asset isn’t your advertising, or your website, or your big shiny office. Your biggest asset is your “opted-in” list. This is the list of people who have chosen to follow you, to learn more from you, to stay in touch with you. It is usually an email database of people who have…

Four steps for more clients
Many of the hundreds of business owners I talk to every year tell me that their business is different. That their challenge is unique. But they rarely are. What I love about business is that there are really only a few challenges we all face when going from unknown to thriving. Sure, there are thousands of different types of businesses, and even if you’re in the same industry as somebody else, you may be offering a different type of service, or selling a different type…

Don’t sell on price alone
I have been working with a business owner who offers an excellent service, is reliable and gets very good results for his clients. He generates plenty of enquiries for his business and converts them at a very respectable rate. Despite all this, his revenue isn’t where he needs it to be. The main reason for this is that he doesn’t charge enough. He competes on price and therefore believes he can’t charge much more than he does currently. I disagree. I have been encouraging him…
