Marketing Minute.... How to find 2 more hours.

Imagine finding two extra hours a day. How much is that worth? It may sound difficult, but it's easier than you think. List your priorities and projects for the next day. If you can organize your daily tasks into hours, and minutes, you'll be surprised to find out who much more time, and how much more productive you'll be.

Try it. If it doesn't work for you, don't do it. However, we bet you'll realize there are ways to do things in a more productive manner. Avoid the "Time Vampires". Organization and discipline will make a huge difference in your day.

In today's Marketing Minute Profit Tip, we're going to give you a birds-eye view how top marketers and salespeople work their magic…

The best salespeople don't "sell" their products and services -- they let their prospects "buy" them.

Truth is, your prospects want you to tactfully, professionally, and ethically, take them by the hand, and help them make a wise purchase decision.

Welcome to the art of "influence and persuasion."

Plan your work.... and work your plan. Easy enough to say, isn't it? But are you getting to it. A plan is a vital portion of the success, or failure of your business.

Having a strong business plan is your key to success. But remember, never write your plan in stone. You need the same flexability in your business plan, as you have in our business. Allow room for change, and how to embrace it.

Work your plan. Without "IMPLEMENTATION", the best business plan in the world, does you absolutely not good at all.

Be careful. Work-a-holics can burn out quickly. Know when it's time to sit back and get away for a bit. Don't allow yourself to "burn out". We've said it in earlier podcasts. It's the old "good news.... bad news" joke.

Here's the good news.... You own your own business.

Here's the bad news.... You own your own business.

Take a few minutes, and catch your breath.

Discription: Take a minute, and bring this proven logic into your business plan.

The 80/20 rule.

A great tool to have in your "Marketing Toolbox".

It will show you where the majority of your revenue is coming from, and which direction to focus your marketing and advertising. It's also a great measuring tool for your sales force. And it doesn't stop there. You can infinitely boil down the 20% and find it's 20%. Then, boil down its 20%, and so on, and so on.

Discription: Have you ever heard the phrase, "the money is in the list"? How about the ability to build your own "mailing list". Better yet, how about a mailing list of fully qualified leads.

Offering prospects a valuable report, or something of value for free, is an immediate "grabber". You can do this via an "Opt-In Box". It's a great website tool that allows you obtain an email address from a prospect. If you're not doing this now, you should be.

Discription: You can be the smartest business person in your field. You can know your business or product, better than anyone else in the world. However, without putting that knowledge into action, doesn't do anyone any good, except you.

The most successful marketers in the world use this basic strategy.

"Implementation".

Having all the information does you no good, unless you put it to work for you. The quicker, the better.

Discription: "Easy for you to say". Here's a show that picks out a few of the more popular quotes that have been used in marketing and advertising.

Don't expect to hear… "The early bird gets the worm". No, no, no… these are all, true to life, day to day quotes and sayings that are used in the super competitive world of marketing and advertising.

Rod & Vinny give you a brief explanation and overview of each one. Before it went to air Vinny was quoted as saying, "Rod, I think this is our best show yet". We think you'll agree.

We'll see you.... at the top.

We here it all the time… "I tried, didn't get the response I wanted, and stopped."

That's not the answer. You never TRY to market and advertise. You ALWAYS should market and advertise.

You must look at your advertising and marketing the same way you look at paying your employees. It has to be done.

For many, the answer is "word of mouth." That works if you live in Mayberry or have 20 years.

If you don't let people who good your product or service is, how are they going to know? You don't have to spend a ton of money., just a small portion of your budget. Start at 5% of your total sales, 10% if you can afford it.

Think of advertising and marketing as a "salary" for your business. Every financial planner will tell you, pay yourself first...

Think of it as something that "HAS" to be paid. Your business' salary is your marketing and advertising budget. It's an investment. Not an expense.

A marketing budget is your company's food and water.

If it sounds like we're emphatic about this… we are. It's essential to your long-term success.

Today there are more than 20 million non-employer (solo-preneaurs) in the US, and growing in leaps and bounds.

Without a marketing plan, you're at the mercy of the market.
