  • UMP 38 | Customer, Clients, or Heroes?

    Let's talk about the Hero's journey. Remember the movie Ratatouille? It's the perfect example of the classic Hero's journey.  The rat Remy dreams of becoming a great chef, Despite being a rat. He follows his dream with the help of the garbage boy Linguini and he puts his culinary skills to test. Despite all the obstacles, he becomes this major chief who wins over the food critics and proves his culinary abilities with this simple dish. Long story short is anyone can do anything they set their minds to. We are all wired to respond to stories. The story structure begins with the context where you set the stage. Your Hero is in a world and there is a conflict that sets them on a journey. The hero is in their world and figures out there is a wrong within the world. An example is they don't like the flavor or maybe the color of something. Now, you have to find that resolution. Stop thinking of them as customers, start thinking of them as Heroes and you're helping them complete their journey.  You serve as many heroes as possible and then they can't resist coming to you. Find out what they want and get it for them.  Remember they are the Hero, not the Customer, and not the Client.

  • UMP 36 | Get More Leads

    Today I wanted to share with you about the "In process" work that I did yesterday. I put a survey out to my followers asking what the ONE thing that you need to boost up your marketing education. I received some awesome responses. The reason I asked this question is my clients have been asking me to use my brain of knowledge to teach their teams. So many times I see backwards thinking and backwards marketing.

    I want to challenge you today to get to know your customers on a ridiculous level. Go look at your competitors and see what they are offering. Take your offer to the market and get to know your customers. If you want to know what your customers want, go look at your competitors and see what they are offering and how does your product/service stand out from them. Learn why the customer is going to them. Find out what is driving the customer their direction.

  • UMP 33 | A change agent can only effect change with change makers.

    Firstly, I credit Dan Kennedy with that quote. It's from a book of his about using presentations to sell.

    Breaking down the quote:

    Change Agents
    - This implies someone who is tasked or called to create change. If you are responsible for selling (or marketing ) in any way, this is likely you. It implies recommending a different set of actions, behaviors, or processes. If you're making an offer to a client or customer, you are trying to affect a change.

    Change Makers

    - This is the tricky part. In order to bring about the change, your 'audience' or potential buyer must be ready, open, willing, able and ideally pre-dispositioned to bring about that change as well. This is why targeting and QUALIFYING your customers is so important.

    And finally, there's Effecting Change

    - This is the result of both forces being in play. The change agent, in effect, needs to find a suitable change maker.

    “If you cast the finest seeds onto hard, infertile ground, nothing will grow. But even the most ordinary seeds cast upon rich, soft, open, fertile ground can grow bountiful crops.”

    So my advice -

    If you WANT change, make yourself ready.
    If you want to EFFECT CHANGE, make sure there's a change maker ready to receive your gifts.
