Doing what you do best - and only what you do best

Doing what you do best - and only what you do best - is the ideal situation for everyone. For example, if you make an excellent widget, then you want to keep perfecting those widgets, not deal with the online sales and shipping of your widgets. Or, if you are a writer of children's   MBT Sport 2,, you want to focus on the illustration - not on the distribution and marketing of your books.

Obviously, sales and marketing are still very serious needs that must be met in order for you to even have a company. Thus, other people have found these needs and are willing to fill them - if you let them do so. Makers of widgets can hire companies to process all of their orders, ship the widgets, MBT Tunisha Shoes,and even handle the widget company's customer service in its totality. Children's book authors work with agents who create marketing campaigns for publication. These types of partnerships are joint ventures in which both companies win.

Focus on your expertise

The first step in forming this type of joint venture is determining what you do best. If it is a product you provide or an excellent service, you need to pin down how your time is best spent.

Then figure out what part of your company you would like someone else to handle. It could be as small as having an outside company do your payroll, or as large as forming a joint venture for your future advertising campaigns. Forming a joint venture for a small or large part of what you are MBT Karani Shoes,doing now will allow you to focus on creating and improving upon what you already do.

Getting customers on your side is vital

Getting customers on your side is vital. As you never know when you're going to need to ask them for... money, shelter, food or anything   MBT Karani,else. Stick close to them and they'll never ever desert you.

Can you now see the value of communicating with people who spend money with you, regularly, on a timely basis?

Of course you do.

Especially when you understand that at least 65% of customers in a business simply walks away to another competitor due to MBT Sawa,BUSINESS OWNER NEGLECT.

This lack of indifference, uncaring attitude and taking customers for granted, is a disease that's rarely likely to stop. Do you know what happened to the hundreds of stockbrokers who lost a lifetime's fortune with the stock market crash of 1929? They threw all their client records out of the high-rise buildings and they followed suit by jumping out of the building to their deaths. Obviously, their losses were too much to take.

But, do you know what the other stockbrokers were doing? They were snatching the client records out of the sky and stuffing them MBT Tembea Coffee,into their pockets.

Why?

So they could then find out the value of a client's monetary worth and accordingly adjust their approach to them. They were sitting on a ready-made goldmine, just waiting to be tapped!

The client list, the regular communicating and contact, the high net worth. All of it took careful and systematic nurturing,

Back to the twin towers.

When you think of it, no-one can really send a plane crashing into the side of your sales letters and marketing communications, can they?

Sales letters, emails, adverts, promotional literature in print, they ARE your biggest asset... BAR NONE!

When will you start creating compelling communications to your client base? When will you realise the inherent and immense value that a satisfied client can give you?

A little hint: Find out sooner, rather than later.

When the 911 terrorist attacks occurred in September 2001

When the 911 terrorist attacks occurred in September 2001, many buildings circling the TWIN TOWERS also collapsed.

In the blink of an eye, a fortune in fixed  MBT Shoes Cheap,assets, crumbled into the dust.

Many business people lost their livelihoods... instantly.

Although the above is graphically troubling for some, the analogy exists just the same.

And that is, "if your business was to lose every fixed asset you own - either due to flooding, fire, bankruptcy or any other 'MBT Tembea Shoes,disaster' how would you cope?

Could you replicate the success that you've built up over a good period of time, almost instantly?

For many, they'd have a hard time reconciling the two.

But, if one owned the most prized key in the business world (and knows how to use it) a business owner would be back in business faster than it takes to clear up the rubble.

So, what is that PRIZED KEY ?

Effective, salesmanship-in-print advertising writing. The type that gets people to purchase products, capture emails, request a free report, respond by some sort of simple action.

But, here's the real key: The better you are at delivering your effective communication EARLY ON IN THE CUSTOMER BUYING  MBT Chapa Shoes,RELATIONSHIP you'll have them probably hooked for life.

And that means... EVEN WHEN THE CHIPS ARE REALLY REALLY DOWN, customers, clients, prospects whom you've interacted with over a period of time, will support you even in times of despair.

If you tell a child the story of Red Riding Hood

If you tell a child the story of Red Riding Hood, they will at first be horrified that the wolf ate Grandma, and then wonder why in the world Red Riding Hood didn't recognize that the wolf wasn't Grandma before she even entered the room. The story of Red Riding Hood teaches children there are bad  MBT Sawa Shoes,things and people out there, and they need to be cautious and watch out for the hidden wolf.

If you tell the same story to an adult, they will think to themselves, "Oh, what a sad story, and how terrible for Little Red!" Their attention will immediately transfer to what they will be having for dinner, MBT Changa Shoes,which child needs to be picked up next, or the bill payment they need to get in the mail before tomorrow.

Adults are bombarded with so much information they learn to filter out everything but the most urgent and important.

Back to email. If you know that the average adult will only spend a few seconds on your message, why in the world would you send them a page full of data? Since most of us access email at work, we simply do not have the leisure time to process your information!

If you want my full attention, give me snippets via email. Don't try to sell me, or send me a book. Mentally, I have too much to process. If your message takes me more than 30 seconds to read, I will probably ignore it. Instead, send me the highlights, and a link to a PDF I can print and read at my  MBT Tataga,leisure. I keep reading material with me at all times, while I am waiting for an appointment, or one of my children.

When you put together your next promotional message, keep this in mind. Thirty seconds, max. Anything more and your message will go right in the trash.

How's your inbox? Stuffed and overflowing with unread mail?

How's your inbox? Stuffed and overflowing with unread mail?

If you are like me, you probably receive at least five to ten valuable newsletters daily. Most of these are great, and full of useful information.

But, I just can't read them all. If I read all the "useful" information I received from newsletters each day, I would spend at  MBT Tembea, least half of each day reading!

If I'm reading, I'm not doing.

Doing creates profit for my business. I simply cannot afford to spend half my productive time reading all the wonderful information you send me!

I think the concept of the newsletter has gotten out of hand.

If it takes me more than 30 seconds to read your MBT Sini,message, you are wasting my time.

When I send you a newsletter, you will never get the whole issue via email. I will send you a list of the titles of the relevant articles, and a link to the PDF for you to print and peruse at your leisure. I want you to read my newsletter when you are relaxing in your easy chair after work, or spending a few quiet minutes with your morning cup of coffee.

I heard something interesting the other day about the difference between how children and adults listen. When you tell a child a story, they will give you 100% of their attention. That's why fairy tales are so useful in teaching values to children. Instead of telling them what to do (which all of us hate), you tell them about actions and consequences. Children listen to stories, and MBT Ema Sandals,then go out and play. They have the leisure time to process the information behind the story.
