We are all leaders; in our families, churches, temples, lodges, clubs, businesses and fraternal organizations.Have you ever heard of a Cult Manager? Yet where have we ever seen more loyalty, commitment and blind obedience? No such thing as a Religious Manager. There’s a huge difference between management and leadership. “Semantics”, you say. When I went to Hotel School I was taught how to be a Hotel Manager. I found that I had to become a Leader in order to gain the loyalty and commitment of my staff.When I first ar

Whether you're buying a new car, a new computer or l.egal or financial services, you want to know that when you make your purchase you'll be satisfied with the products or services you buy. Your prospects are the same. So how do you help them trust you and your products and services?

How do your define marketing? What is the basic idea that works in your mind when you go for marketing your product? Is the idea just selling and so, increasing your profits?If yes, then you may be wrong in your approach to marketing your product. the nature of today's consumers has become most volatile. At any given time, he can switch to another product that offers him a bit more comfort than yours. That's because all your past efforts that led him purchase your product last time around haven't been successful in long run. So w
Each week 100 or 1000 people visit your web site or read your small business marketing materials but only a handful of those are contacting you. You can double the number of people who buy your products and services and double your profits.
The biggest mistake made by small business owners is that they treat marketing as if it didn't need to follow basic rules of human nature. It's like trying to force feed broccoli to someone who hates vegetables or trying to get a vegetarian to eat roast beef. Similarly, it just doesn't make sense to try and force your prospects to do something they don't want to do.
I'm amazed at how many people throw away huge sums of money on a marketing strategy that continually frustrates them and doesn't bring in the sales they need to grow their business.
Here's the simple truth about small business marketing. If you want to sell to people you need to take into account basic characteristics of human nature. You can't just get your name out there or get the name of your product out there and expect clients to flock to your door. This marketing strategy doesn't work for small business owners and it won't work for you.
The good news is that it's not complicated or confusing to market your business successfully and close twice as many sales. All you need to do is understand a couple of obvious things about human nature and apply them to marketing your business.
Effective Marketing Is Based On These 3 Rules of Human Nature
----------------------------------------------------
> First Rule Of Human Nature:
People are attracted by solutions to their problems
Your prospects want to know what your product or service will do for them. They want to know if it will help them solve a particular problem.
Your marketing should lead with the product benefit and then go on to explain more about how your products or services help them and you’ll capture their interest. Lead with pricing, obscure product names or too much technical detail and you'll l0se your prospects. Their overriding concern is how your products or services will help them.
> The Second Rule Of Human Nature:
People forget
Think about your own purchasing behavior. What do you do when you’re looking for a new computer, a new lawyer, a new investment, or a new graphic designer? You may have seen an ad that attracted you or visited a web site that looked helpful, but can you remember where?
Most people take some time to make their decision, often weeks or even months. Even if they've read your marketing materials and even if you've got the perfect product or service for them, your prospects are most likely going to forget you exist.
80% of potential new business is lost because small business owners don't have a marketing strategy for following up with prospects. Each time your prospects hear or read about another similar service or product your information gets pushed further down into the recesses of their brain.
Eventually it just gets forgotten and you've lost the sale unless you have a strategy that helps them remember your products and services.
