The most powerful sales and marketing strategy ever!
the most powerful sales and marketing strategy ever!
As co-founder of Family Business Strategies, a consortium of professionals serving family businesses, their coaches and advisors, I have spent my entire career researching family business, he helps them develop their company’s future.
By chance I came upon a process that I’ve used for more than a dozen years, which result in virtually all of our most profitable customers.
As any pro was to connect I always looking for the best way, with my ideal client types.
It had to cost, no ads in the Wall Street Journal, and it had to be by myself in front of the right people at the same time more effective.
accidents happen, which, in some cases a good thing. I ran into a group of entrepreneurs in a hotel cafe.
I only had a short workshop given to their association meeting, I knew some of them in front of a few minutes.
We sat around the table for a while, the continuation of the previous discussion and the ensuing, for the benefit of the people who did not have in the previous session.
When it became clear that I leave for the airport, one of them had suggested that we hold this strategic conversation going on some conference calls. So for the next few months we have only that for an hour or so a few times a month.
I had accidentally out how to showcase my ability, my ideal audience expected. Over time they became more comfortable with me knowing that I am sincerely interested in this because my observations made sense, and they were more confident in my skills and abilities to help them.
I had time to know, as stated, to develop trust and respect formula.
was in the years to each of these entrepreneurial customers and numerous charges are based on our way – by pointing people to us on their prestige and credibility.
had after the third or fourth call I the crucial next step, without which this valuable opportunity to have a single event would have reduced, I called a couple of the existing customers.
I asked her if she would like it if we created a peer group that put together a panel of advocates and support for them and their business. I said we could meet over the phone, so that would be no travel time, I would help them figure out who to invite and to explain to them the process if we asked them.
Knowing me as she had her first question, how much will it cost – and I said I would do it as volunteers for free. I told them that I learn how they wanted to be a better meeting facilitator, I am ready, my time was voluntary.
I did not know that it’s time, but this was an important element. Since I was not charged and I was just learning, their expectations were to meet simple, and it answered the “what’s in it for Wayne ‘question that was in their minds.
After these two groups came next in course, I repeated the process over again. Always free, but a limited number of groups each year – creates scarcity. And if any group is populated with ideal prospects, it has always been more than enough for the economy and follow links to make this the single most profitable, what I do.
If you have a single customer that you have to consider an ideal client type person, that’s all you need to get started. In fact, if you know anyone who does not know your client but who, loves, trusts and respects them – that will work.
(Do not create groups, where people are not all of your ideal client types. It is your time and waste and you will be in the wrong direction)
With your ideal client groups, you are your own best model in front of people who either purchase or your services will refer you to the other, which is
Where The only remaining question is whether to facilitate the voluntary or not.
My guess is, you do fine. You know, you are so they get help. you do not know the “right way” to do it anyway, and you are not presented are available.
If they sense your commitment to them and the process if you really try to help will they be convinced that you are worthy of their trust and respect.
Remember, people do not care how much you know until those how much you care – know about it.
