The Human Approach Is It Missing From Your Marketing?

The video below speaks volumes about the way we live our lives. Years gone by it was so easy to have real friends, reach out and make contact. Today, virtually our world has changed. Just have the patience to listen to this mere 2:48 seconds (it says 3:12 or so, but it stops short). Remember that your best bet, no matter what you are doing even online, is to be there. Be the human willing to reach out and make contact.

Again, listen carefully. “Poetry” may not be “your thing,” but this goes beyond a person reciting his “poem.” It strikes at the heart of what may be missing from all our lives. I, too, am guilty of seeing much of the world through my keyboard and monitor. Let’s see if we can’t rethink and reconnect.

Here goes – turn on your speakers:

Yes, internet marketing means hanging out in all the right virtual places. It is a necessity. But adding yourself into the equation when choosing programs that allow you to avoid others… Well, there’s a huge difference. The human approach works miracles. People buy from people they feel they know.

Guest Post | 5 Tips For Closing Clients

Yesterday I received an email from Ryan, and asked him if I could share it with you as assistance in helping you close your sales. Short, to the point, and hopefully you find the information useful and informative.

I wanted to quickly share some tips that have helped me to seal the deal with potential leads.

1. Be Yourself… Not The Biz

Now is YOUR time to shine. Let your lead know why working with you will the be the right choice and how you plan to devote your energy toward their needs. A business is great and all, but when’s the last time a business shook your hand and said hello? Be personable!

2. Remove All Obstacles

I hear all too often that a lead would take me up on my offer if only they had x and y…or they had a little more knowledge on the subject. Take the time to put your lead at ease and gain the trust needed to close the sale.

3. Follow Up

Leads will politely tell me that they need to discuss matters with their team first, or get some distance owner on the line and then I never hear from them again. Do yourself a favor and follow up with all legit leads.

4. Remove The Risk

Everyone is so protective of their investment and time and why shouldn’t they be? With so many people being taken advantage of there’s good reason to be skeptical. Remove the risk by creating creative solutions for those wanting a more secure feel before working with you.

5. Know How You’re Different

Being the “best” just isn’t good enough anymore. Be different and share with others why your different and why it’s a good thing. Position yourself differently from your competition and watch your closing rate soar!

Hope you enjoyed these 5 tips. Have yourself a marvelous [week] Monday!

Plan Ahead to Make Money Soon

make moneyThis past month in particular, I’ve received a lot of phone calls and emails from individuals who need to make money in a hurry. The problem about such a situation is that the internet is not like your typical job. You don’t have the benefit of securing a position, working for a set amount of days, and collecting that first paycheck. The other problem is that unless you’re willing to head to the Dakota’s in the middle of winter (where there are jobs abundant btw!), you may live in an area that is not enjoying the (supposed) rebound those on the Hill could like you to believe is taking place.

Make Money Idea

An idea did come to me the other day, and I was happy to have thought, “Oh here’s something useful to say to you!” It IS a valid idea, but like anything on the internet where you’d like to make money, planning ahead is your only option. So here’s an idea for you to consider:
