Why a Multi-step Plan is Best

Very few people buy on impulse. Getting people to buy on impulse is called cold calling. It’s very difficult to do, and extremely cost ineffective. Also, people do not like to being sold things. Hard sell ads are not much fun to read, and even less fun to write, even though they can make a great deal of money. A softer approach is much more tasteful to the vast majority of buyers and sellers alike. Therefore, it is much more efficient to create a multi-step program for prospects to voluntarily opt in.

I did not invent the approach I am about to share with you. It is how the old direct mailers made their millions. It is proven and effective. As the saying goes, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Continue reading ‘The 3 Step Marketing Plan That Pros Use to Earn Millions’ »

1. Choosing the wrong market. Naturally, marketing programs are made to please its market. As a business man, you need to consider your product’s positioning. You need to ask yourself if it’s the right market you are trying to please otherwise you are definitely on the wrong track.

How loud can you yell? How outrageous can you be? These are questions marketers have been asking for nearly a century. This paradigm shifted when Doyle Dane Bernbach injected intelligence into advertising in the 1960s with their revolutionary “Lemon” print ad for Volkswagen. For them, it wasn’t about how loud you can yell, it was about how interesting you are. Since the 1960s, there has been a blend of intelligent campaigns, but far outweighed by yelling matches (think Times Square).

With the inception of the web, the thinking that drove real-world advertising shifted to the online space. There was a mix of flashy and intelligent banner ads. But just as Doyle Dane Bernbach shifted attitudes in advertising in the 1960s, we are in a transitional stage in marketing. A new evolution in thinking is emerging in online marketing. It’s not about how flashy your banner ad can be. It’s not about how loud you can yell. It’s about how interesting and remarkable you are. It’s not about saying you’re remarkable. With the influx of peer-to-peer networks, it’s not about you anymore. It’s the value consumers place on your product or brand.

So, if you want to build your business fast, you’re going to have to learn to love cold calling – and to make it a little easier, I’ve listed the top ten mistakes people make when dealing with cold calling.

1. Not making, and sticking to a schedule. The very first thing you should do is to commit to making a specific number of calls per day, or per week. That should be a part of your overall marketing plan, and you should aim to meet, or better, that number.

2. Calling at the wrong time of the day. Most people are tired, busy, or just plain grumpy as the day wears on. Catch them early in the morning, to avoid this, and to get in before their day gets started.

3. Not being friendly to the person who answers the phone. You never know who it is who answers – a senior exec may be standing in for the receptionist – if you are not courteous and polite, you could be killing any sales chances you had!
