Customers would rather not lose something than save something. If offered the choice to not lose $100, or to save $100, the customer will choose the not lose option. This is an important marketing understanding. Always communicate the consequences to the customer of going without your product. The fear of loss is a much stronger buying motive than the potential to save.

For example, take the storm window manufacturer who claims its double-paned windows “Will save you $2.00 a day in reduced energy consumption.” It is more effective, more memorable, and more compelling to say, “You are losing $720 a year with your old single-pane windows. Try ABC Double-panes.” The gauge and controls company that says, “New Spillex Controller prevents overfilling, saving you hundreds of dollars in cleanup costs,” would generate more inquiries and more sales using, “Overspilling spills your dollar bills on the ground. New Spillex Controller stops your loss.”

Every benefit for every product can be dollarized. Every benefit for every product can be expressed in the dollars and cents and delivers to the customer. Every benefit can be calculated to show the economic value to the customer. The benefit can be presented as a saving for the customer, or as the cost of going without the solution.

It is always more effective to influence the customer by showing the cost of going without, along with any other consequences of not buying your product. Few customers knowingly ignore consequences and then deliberately buy an alternatative product just for a lower price.

The super marketer dollarizes the product benefits and then shows the customer what it is costing him per year, per week, per hour to go without the product.

Fewer than 5 percent of all marketers ground their product claims on benefits to the customer. Fewer than 1 percent of all marketers dollarize the value of their product and sell with numbers. Only the super marketer dollarizes and sells on the consequences of not buying.

Customers don’t want to lose. Do customers a favor: Warn them what they will lose if they don’t buy your product. When they buy, everybody wins !

The term “internet marketing” was virtually non-existent a short 8 years ago, now it is a growing phenomenon that is raking millions every year. Because of this expanding industry, the internet landscape it changing. Where are the changes going to be? I fully expect a growth in interactive end-user experiences – an online environment catering to the individual preferences of a singular visitor. I also foresee a massive change in the way we market online. A change could include “personalized” advertisements embedded so deeply into the product that the user does not realize it as an ad.

Where is this marketing going? Where will it be in 2010? Here are some ideas:

Personal Ads:

Not “Single white male seeks.”. Advertisements displaying personalized data to the end user. This trend has started with products like Google’s AdWords, where visitors are greeted with ads specific to the content on the page. With the free flow of personal information on the internet, it is feasible that in a few years, the advertisements could be as specific as, “Bob, the Buick is over due for an oil change, here are the 3 closest Quick Lubes”

Advertisement Channels:

Cable channels are expanding so quickly it is hard to keep up, soon, we could be surfing over to channel 1430 for the “2010 Chevrolet Series”, where we actually sit down and watch a one hour special on Chevy’s – this mode of advertisement would work for a couple of reasons:

- It is highly targeted

Current television advertising (commercials) often get the MUTE button treatment or we get up to get more popcorn, leaving an unknown number of viewers watching the 30 second ad.

- Accepting market

When viewer tune in specifically for a product, your message effectiveness grows exponentially. For example, if you the viewer are not interested in the “Home Depot Shed Products” advertisement channel, don’t watch. For those of you who are interested in home and garden and Do It Yourself, this channel would serve as your personal how-to expert. Home Depot reaches only those interested in their product while maintaining their orange apron image.

Customized Webpages:

On some webpages now, a visitor can change the color and theme of the webpage. This makes for a more enjoyable destination – leading to more recurring visitors. Once a user has spent the time to build their own portal, they will return and use that as their primary resource of information (think MSN).

Webpages of the future must be able to support a “no two alike” mentality. End users must have the option of customizing their content, color, theme, and functionality.

The changes are on the horizon, prepare your business to capture visitors and give them the “one-on-one” feeling.

“A powerful agent is the right word” –Mark Twain

And what true words those are! Your marketing efforts have the ability to succeedor to failbased on the words you choose to represent your products, services, and yourself in your ads.

You have the ability to choose any words you desire. The problem is, sometimes, we draw a blank. Our minds seem amiss of anything creative to say. This is when a diverse collection of pre-written phrases, designed to bring miraculous changes to your ads, comes in handy.

A collection of pre-written phrases, which you can drop right into your ad text, offers a lot of magic, a good deal of choices, and an incredible journey through words which develop warmth, color, and add texture to your ads. With pre-written buzz-word phrases, you can bring your ad to life – immediately.

So how do you come up with these phrases and buzz words?

Step one is to become aware of every advertisement you’re exposed to, whether it be on television, in a newspaper, in email, or in a magazine. Just pay attention and study those ads.

Step two involves gathering your pre-written phrases. Write down words which make an impact on you. Make a notebook, or a computer document, and as you are exposed to the ads around you, jot down those phrases and buzz words. Here’s some phrases and words I jotted down recently:

Accept nothing but the best
Because you’re worth it
Consider it a gift from youto you

The third step is to take these phrases and integrate them into your ads. The best way to do this is work with an ad which you’ve already written. How much impact does it have? How much sparkle and pizzaz does it possess? Does your already-written ad grab your attention? If the answer is NO, then it’s time to input some marketing miracle phrases – sprinkle them about your ad, pick some from your list which fit with your product or service – and revise.

Let’s take a look at an ad I found written by someone who is not using marketing miracle phrases:

“New ladies brown leather coat. Size XL.”

The ad for this item really didn’t capture my attention. The photo of the item did – it’s a nice product! Let’s see how the actual ad can be spruced up with the use of some marketing miracle phrases:

“Give radiance to everything when you wear this exquisite, full-length, chocolate brown leather coat. For lovers of fine quality everywhere, you’ll experience comfort and luxury, for just a fraction of the retail price. Handsomely crafted, it will make a chic addition to your winter wardrobe. Ladies size XL.”

See the difference? Using marketing miracle words gives you a new way of impacting your buyers with words and phrases designed to bypass the mind, get your product deep into their heart and soul, and reach the core of their deepest desires.

So why not try it with your own ads? Just follow the three steps in this article to add warmth, color and texture to your ads. See the change in your ads, and the change in your bottom line sales figures. Good luck!

Shortly after the hurricanes tore up the Gulf Coast, I had opportunity to drive Interstate 10 through southern Texas. As I approached the Louisiana/Texas state line the devastation became more and more evident. Trees had been broken or uprooted, signs torn apart, and homes and business buildings invariably showed indications of damage ranging from superficial exterior damage up to complete destruction.

As I drove along, I got the feeling that nothing had escaped damage by the storm. Then, on the south side of the highway, I saw several very nice homes which showed no visible signs of damage. This was in distinct counterpoint to everything around them. At first, I thought to myself, “Those people sure were lucky.” As I kept looking at the homes, however, I became aware that I was looking at the sales models of a company that built homes on people’s lots.

There was plainly evident storm damage, right up to the edge of the buildings, but the buildings themselves appeared to be completely unscathed. With almost every home and business in the area showing damage by the storms, these three or four homes stood as excellent representatives of their company’s products.

My wife and I were making plans to retire to Florida. We were considering buying a piece of land and having a house built on it. As we looked at the homes on the sales lot, I said, “Write down that company’s name. We may want them to build our house.”

It’s a shame that it took a hurricane and caused so much devastation and disruption, but doesn’t that company have one of the best advertisements they could ever hope for? Their product proved itself to be a quality product, probably worth the investment.

When we buy a car, we either go on our own experiences or the experiences of others…or we are lead by advertisements which show the car performing improbable acts in improbable places. When we buy our favorite candy or beer or go to the same doctor over and over, it is because we are satisfied that it will do what we need and expect it to do.

Wouldn’t it be great if every product lived up to our expectations?

I have been in network marketing since the early 90’s, and on the internet since the late 90’s. I have bought my share of products relying on the claims and pitches designed to induce me to buy, often with subsequent disappointment. With time, I have learned to be a little more discriminating and knowledgeable, but it is still often difficult to separate the hype from fact, and reality from expectations.

You can imagine how interested and predisposed to buy I would be if the product I was looking at could PROVE that it lived up to the claims made for it! You can imagine how disappointed I am when that product fails to meet my expectations.

Again and again, I come in contact with people who are wary of becoming involved with network marketing or internet marketing because they, or someone they know (that’s called network marketing and it works both ways) has been burned in the past. It is so hard, and often simply impossible, to convert these people to a position of trust after the damage has been done.

Here’s network marketing (and it’s young cousin, internet marketing) in a nutshell. Make a real promise and deliver. Your customer will be satisfied, return for further purchases, and may tell their family, friends, and neighbors about how great your goods, services, or business opportunities are. Make false promises, or fail to deliver what is expected by the customer, and, not only will they NOT return to make future purchases, they WILL STILL tell family, friends, and neighbors about you and your business, and it will not be in flattering terms.

It is in the best interests of marketers, recruiters, and companies to provide factual, not fanciful, advertising together with products that deliver on the promise. This can help not only stop the loss of sales and downline members who leave due to unfulfilled expectations, but can also help upgrade the image of network marketers and internet marketers in the eyes of the general public as well.

Have you ever met with, or talked to a prospect that wasn’t ready to buy what you had to offer? What did you do with that prospects? Most sales gurus of the 1980’s and 90’s wrote books that told you to move on to the next prospect who is ready to buy now, and not waste your time on those that aren’t ready yet.

Here’s the wrong assumption to make in that situation. You took the time and educated the prospect; they walked out, and you automatically think that they either bought from someone else, or they were just tire kicking. Wrong!!!

Why Prospect Shop Price Alone

Did you know that your prospects were conditioned by your industry to make price the overriding issue when looking for products and services? Whose fault is this? In my opinion, I would have to say that in most cases, it’s the fault of the vendors that are selling your product or service.

Why do I say this? Think about it…most prospects that call you have done most of their research regarding the type of product or service that you offer and are now ready to buy. The typical prospect makes 3 to 5 phone calls asking who can provide the best price, because they’ve already done the research and know what their needs are. What might you tell them? You might jump at the opportunity to gain a new client and say, “I’ll give you the best price, what did the other guy offer you?”

Have you ever wondered how to sell your products and services more on value than simply on the price?

Understanding The Educational Spectrum

Think of the Educational Spectrum as a horizontal line from left to right, with the letter “A” representing the far left hand side
of the spectrum and “Z” being the far right. Prospects jump on
the educational spectrum somewhere from A to Z. A is when the prospect first gets the idea that they have a need for what you have to offer. We call these “Future Buyers”. Z is when money changes hands and they acquire the goods. We call these “Now Buyers”.

Here’s a simple illustration of the Educational Spectrum. The key is to determine where your prospects are on this spectrum and help them move comfortably and consistently towards the right of the spectrum where they then become the “Now Buyers”.

“The Educational Spectrum”

A====D=========G=====J=======M=======P========S=======V======Z

A- Prospect firsts gets the idea to buy what you sell

Z- Money changes hands

A====D=========G=====J=======M=======P========S=======V======Z

Just like we know that having a baby takes 9 months, you have a good idea what the selling cycle is for your products. Whatever it is, you know it is fairly constant. So why rush the future buyers to buy when they are not ready? Why not use the selling cycle to your advantage?

Become The Logical Choice To Do Business With

Understanding the job of effective marketing will allow you to assist your prospects when you know that they are not ready to buy what you have to offer by providing marketing materials that are hit their hot-buttons and educate them in a systematic way until they are ready to buy.

This process should be systematic and automated, so that they receive industry significant information that helps them to make a quality decision. In other words, you can become the advocate for your industry that prospects look to for advice. When they become “Now Buyers”, where do you think they will go for their purchase? Good chance, it will be you!

Think of yourself as the fountain from whence all information flows when it comes to buying what you have sell.

It should not be important who your prospect buys from as long as you are committed to providing the best information and knowledge so they can make the best buying decision for themselves and their situation.

In the end, no one wants to feel like they made a bad decision to purchase your product or service, so it is important that you assist your prospects every step of the way as they are gaining confidence in doing business with you.

If you get an email with a title like ‘Don’t Ever Trust Me Again!’ and continues along the lines of ‘… then you don’t have to take my advice ever again!’

My advice is – Don’t *

Perhaps it’s because I’m skeptical of the number of “miracle” products, “great deals”, ‘limited time offers’ or ‘incredible packages’ that are advertised online every day. Perhaps it’s because I have bought more products than I can possibly use for now. Perhaps it’s because there are probably more people trying to sell this particular package than the number of packages that are available. Or, perhaps it’s because I received an email with almost identical content from too many different sources. Whatever the reason, don’t make the same mistakes as I have in the past.

* It may be a good deal. It may be exactly what you are looking for. But if you receive emails with exactly the same content from different sources, think carefully before you buy.

There are some good internet marketers that I have every respect for. However, there are an increasing number of ‘marketers’ that show little thought or consideration for others. They will take from you but offer nothing in return. You may disagree with the last statement. If you buy a product from them and you are happy with that product and they are happy with the money earned from selling you that product it’s a win-win situation.

That’s all well and good until you look more closely at the process. To do this, other factors must be taken into account. These include cost, value, convenience, time, and most importantly trust. You’ve probably heard of the phrase. “The money is in the list”. I wouldn’t disagree with that and it’s easy to see why many of the “big list” hitters are successful in the percentage game. But unless they offer you something more than somebody else’s ’sales pitch’ ignore them. Many of these people come and go. Make sure they don’t go with your money.

With regard to the email in question, here is a quote from a ‘trusted’ ezine that I subscribe to “This is only of interest to you, Bryan, if you really need some brand new products to sell. If not, don’t bother.” At least, this is honest and straight to the point. I know who I’d buy from. On occasion, time may be more important than trust. If this is the case, then make sure you have a use for the product before you buy it. We are all guilty of impulse buying. It can be all too easy to buy something that will seldom, if ever, be used.

If you subscribe to an ezine or newsletter, it’s often useful to keep tabs on the sender. By doing this you will learn to recognize if the content is original or simply a copy of someone else’s work. You’ll also quickly discover if the sender is only interested in using you as a means of earning a ‘fast buck’. This is obvious if there is little or no content, excessive affiliate URLs, or emails that are repetitive or delivered more often than necessary.

If you like the newsletter or email subscription, that’s great. If you don’t, you can usually ‘unsubscribe’. If this fails, then try ‘whitelist’ filtering to weed it out. If you think the email is from a spammer, then be careful. Don’t click on any URL or ‘unsubscribe’ option, and unless you are absolutely sure of the originator, never open an attachment.

If you use eBay or PayPal, you will no doubt be aware of the fake or spoof emails that are periodically blasted out. Well, the spin cycle has begun again. A good tutorial on spoof emails and how to recognize them can be found at http://pages.ebay.com/education/spooftutorial/index.html

Tip – If you have your own website, don’t use your default address for your PayPal or eBay account. Use a different address and you will quickly spot the spoof email in the ‘To’ line of the email.

1. Free directories: directories are perfect for customers that are searching for a particular topic. What’s great about them is that you only have to post once and they are good for long periods of time. It saves a lot of your time when you don’t have to resubmit your information every week or every month. The bad news is most of your traffic won’t come from here. I still feel it is worth it to get your link out there. Just take one day and set it aside for posting to free directories. You won’t need to do it again for at least 6 months.

2. Classified Ads: These are great for work from home businesses. Think about it. Where do people go when they are looking for a job? That’s right-the classifieds. The only downside to classified ads is that you have to resubmit them quite frequently. Once you find which classifieds bring you the most traffic you can concentrate on them and weed the others out. So it is really more time consuming in the beginning, and doesn’t have to be later on when you get the hang of things.

3. Free article submissions/ezines: The best way to inform others about your product or service is to write an article about it. In your authors resource box, you can tell readers about yourself and where they can go to check out your product or service. This is also an excellent way to get free links to your site if you have one. There are a lot of webmasters out there who are looking for good articles they can post on their site. If they post yours, that is another site that is doing the advertising for you. All for free.

4. URL Submissions: Probably the quickest and easiest thing to do to advertise your site. Just type “Free URL submission” in your search engine. When you get a list just enter the URL you are promoting and click submit. That’s it. It only takes a few seconds and your done. Just set a day aside once every 3 months and do this.

5. Forum Posts: Put your product or service website in your signature file when you sign up on some forums. It will be displayed every time you make a post. Try to look for topics that you have some knowledge on, and can give a relevant answer too. Do not spam anyone, you will get kicked off the forum and you will get a bad reputation. Get involved asking and answering questions that pertain to your area of business. Forums are great because once you make a post it stays there forever. It will get moved to the archives eventually, but someone could still find it if they were searching the archives. Yes, there are many people who do.

6. Traffic Exchanges: Probably the most time consuming way to advertise for free, but definately the most effective. Most forums I have visited have said in many posts that they received a lot of their profit from traffic exchanges. If you don’t want to spend the time surfing for credits, you do have the option of buying them. I would look into a program that lets you surf multiple websites at once like crazy browser. There are others and they are free to download. That way you can just spend one hour a day and get all your surfing in at once.

7. News-groups: Become involved in a group that has to do with your kind of business. You can usually mail the group once per day, but I would encourage you to find something fresh to talk about each day. People will tune you out if they see the same message all the time. Remember to never Spam anyone. Only join groups with the same interests as yours. In other words, don’t sign up for a recipe swapping group when you are advertising shaving cream.

Commit this to memory, please: To get in the media, being good is good enough.

You don’t need to be perfect, or even the best in your profession. There’s no elaborate entrance exam or competition to determine who gets media coverage.

The prize goes to those professionals who are competent or better, and who understand how to play the publicity game.

I have absolutely nothing against advertising as a means of getting exposure and a wider audience. In many cases, it’s just what you need, and deserves a spot in your marketing mix.

But (have you noticed?) it is expensive, isn’t it? And, in the end, it’s still you saying you’re great, which isn’t as good as them saying it. I just think of it this way:

Advertising – buys you visibility
Publicity – earns you credibility

Sure, you’re good. But, let’s face it. So are many of your financial planning peers and competitors. But you can be the one who gets into the media. Because you knew how to get a reporter’s attention.

You understand that getting in the media doesn’t require you to be the best financial planner on Earth.

I am also a big believer in direct mail marketing. It’s a superb tactic to build ongoing relationships with clients, customers, and prospects.

But, unless you’re ready to cough up big bucks to buy mailing lists, it limits you. You can only reach the people you already know – the ones in your database. All those people will get to know you better, and that’s good – but you won’t be meeting any new prospects. To do that, it’s either spend on lists or advertising, or learn how to get yourself some free publicity.

“Did you see that game last night?”

“How about all this rain we’ve been getting?”

“That’s a nice bowling trophy. I love bowling!”

Ever use one of those questions? Thought so. Who are you kidding with that crap? In the words of Jeffrey Gitomer, “All things being equal, people buy from friends. All things NOT being equal, people buy from friends.”

If people buy from people they like, one of your first goals should be to get your prospects to like you.

For a salesperson, this can be tough. People have a hard time trusting salespeople with their time, money and business. Most people don’t even want to talk to you.

Welcome to reality: your prospects are busy and may feel that speaking with you is a complete waste of time. Many of your prospects may not even see a need for your product, or may be content with the version they already have.

Point being, if you want to successfully establish rapport with your prospects, you’ll have to do it quickly, before they get the chance to assume you’re just like every other salesperson. Fortunately, there are 5 keys to help you get this friendship off to a quick start!

1. RelaxHave Fun!

It is your job to create an environment that is conducive to buying. Pointless, scripted, ice-breaking questions only create a cold selling environment. So relax and have a little bit of fun!

As soon as you meet your prospective customer, you will be evaluated. That evaluation will be determined not just by how you feel, but also how you make your prospect feel. The only way to put your prospect at ease is to be at ease yourself. If you’re uptight and contrived, your prospect will remain guarded and cold. If you are having fun, chances are your prospect will, too!

After all, people buy from people, and your job as a professional communicator (a.k.a. salesperson) is to make your customer comfortable enough to grab a Coke from your refrigerator.

2. Lighten Up, Laugh It Up

Nothing is more powerful than humor when it comes to building rapport quickly with your customer. Laughter is the spark that ignites interest and cordiality between you and your prospect; it’s hard to laugh with a person and not feel comfortable around them.

Some salespeople take their job too seriously, and are so focused on the sale that they forget to think about the customer. So, lighten up! If you make them laugh, they may buy from you!

3. Get to the Point

You got them on the phone, you secured an appointment, and you got them in your store now get to the point! State your objective and why they should care. Be careful not to use clich

Harvesting Leads from Yahoo Groups

If you own an internet business or you’re involved in an
affliate program and you’re having trouble getting traffic
to your website or gateway, consider Yahoo Groups as an
option to expand your visibility. You can sign up for
dozens of these groups tonight–some which have subscriber
bases of over 10,000 people–and then submit your ad to
them immediately.

Before you begin, you’ll need to determine what approach
you’re going to take for this. There are two ways to
generate traffic through Yahoo Groups: 1) by submitting
your ad to groups that are specifically looking for ADS;
or 2) by providing a free service, such as a business
advice article, a free ebook, or anything else you can
think of that might help someone in you shoes – and then
adding your resource box at the bottom, giving a link to
your website or product. I personally would suggest doing
both if you want to get the best results. There aren’t that
many groups that allow shameless promotions – and the ones
that do are generally saturated with them.

Your next step is to get a text-editor/writing program
that allows you to format your documents by characters-per-line
(I would suggest getting the free trial version of textpad- http://www.textpad.com).
Once you have this text-editor setup, type or copy-and-
paste your ad, article, or whatever else you’re going to
use into the text-editor and then format it for 55
characters-per-line (most submission forms require you
to use 55-60 characters-per-line; if you do not, they’ll
reject your submission out-right).

Once you have done this, you’ll want to sign up for a
Yahoo email account if you do not have one already. This
is free and you can do it easily by going to Yahoo.com
and filling in your information.

Next you’ll want to head to http://groups.yahoo.com ,
where you’ll find a directory of Yahoo Groups. You will
want to find groups that coincide with whatever product
or service you are selling. For instance, I sell marketing
and business-building tools. When I go to Yahoo Groups, I
go to Business & Finance and then to Marketing.

You should have a pretty good selection for whatever you
plan to market. There are hundreds of groups and–as I
mentioned earlier–some of them have over 10,000 members
currently. Sign up for as many of these groups as possible.

Just click on the group. Click to sign up – and then fill
in your information. Make sure you have all of the boxes
filled in and then submit the form. For most of the groups,
you will receive an email in your inbox immediately. Others
will take a few days.

Your next step is to read all of the new emails in your
inbox. Check out the rules list for all of the new groups
you just signed up for. Make sure your article, service,
or whatever you’re posting conforms to all of the rules.
Now go back to your groups. You should see a list of
groups you’re in with “Post” next to the group name.
Begin posting it to each individual group, making sure
you follow the rules. Also make sure it includes your
resource box.

Now you wait. The submission process can take a while.
Most posts have to be manually reviewed by group
editors/moderators, while others will go up immediately.
Sometimes you’ll receive a letter from the editor, saying
whether it was posted or rejected and sometimes you wont.
Once you start receving the submission responses, that
means people can now read your article or ad.

Congratulations – you just advertised to an ENORMOUS
group of targeted potential leads for no cost whatsoever.

Now sit back, relax, and watch the hits accumulate on
your website.
