Will You Add? - Stop and Go Marketing
Starting a new business is one thing, actually getting paying clients is another. Clients won't know you're starting a new business unless you tell them. So you have to start telling people right away.Here are some tips for getting the word out:You should have at least 50 people on your contact list. These are the people you are going to let know that you are starting a new business.Start with family members outside of your immediate family - brothers, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, parents, grandpare
There are many other reasons we stop our marketing. Here are a few from entrepreneurs like yourself.
* I don't know how.
We can actually stop marketing for a while and then we think we don't know how. This reaction can stem from the next bullet point.
* Fear.
If it's been a while since we have marketed that 'freezing up' syndrome can creep back in. TRUST yourself -- you DO know how!
Years ago I read an article by a renowned psychologist wherein he wrote his studies found one percent of all human beings would never lie, cheat or steal. One percent would always lie, cheat or steal and given the right set of circumstances, the rest of us would likely lie, cheat and/or steal.I mention this to highlight the fact that, if we can buyoff on this one principle – sobering though it may be – we have then, a benchmark from which to begin to at least try to understand the denigration of ethics that lead to outc
Are you familiar with the word and concept of retention? It means keeping your current clients rather than losing them and having to find new ones. It costs a company quite a bit less to keep a customer than it does to go get a new one. With marketing your business, it takes quite a bit less energy to keep the flow of contacts and clients coming through the funnel than it does to have the funnel empty only to begin again.
Here is a great example of a metaphor that we experience everyday. I was on the way to my hair appt this month. I chose to take the side roads rather than the freeway. I noticed with each block I had to either take my foot off the gas and slow down to yield or I had to come to a complete stop. In any case, I was using more gas to get moving again. At each stop I noticed two types of moving forward. I could either push on the gas slowly to continue or I had to peel out to beat the traffic. Either way I had to start again from a stop. Had I taken the freeway (after rush hour) my drive would have been consistent and I would have used less gas. Or, in marketing terms, less energy.

Consistency will keep your marketing funnel filled and you will have more energy to put into your business.
There is a perspective and a truth to a statement I heard from a successful business owner. Marketing is your job. What you "do" is the cherry on top. What he's saying is this. When you are not out "doing" your business, you should be marketing. Keeping that focus, your funnel will be filled and you will not experience Stop and Go Marketing.

It’s a norm for British top universities to conduct interviews with their candidates prior to admission. For most of the universities the interview merely becomes a formality because the admission decision would be based on your college tutor’s report and your result prediction. But for some high profile universities such as Oxford and Cambridge, the interview can become the determining factor that would decide your entry there.If you are successful, then you’ll be offered a place, provided you achieve the required resu

I hear it in business everyday, though couched in different terms and expressions, the essence is the same, “We need to do more.” That “more” may be in the form of more sales, more profit, more growth, more stores, but the common denominator is the ever-present, ever-nagging need for “more.” The inference is that the “more” will bring some sort of relief, some respite from the present miseries being afflicted upon us by uncontrollable outside influences. The great fix that’s missing is right there, right in front of our noses,

* Frustration.
It's not working. Have you tried something for a while and it doesn't seem to be working. That's what marketing can be -- a trial and error with our services and products. After a while you will learn what works and what doesn't with each piece that you offer. Once you find what works, STICK TO IT!
* No Time.
We're working so hard and such long hours, there is no time to get out and meet new contacts. Suggestion: Create a short block of time to address envelopes to previous clients. Put stamps on them with your return address label. Have your note cards next to your envelopes. Take a break and jot a quick handwritten note to say hello and send it off. You have continued your marketing and keeping your funnel filled.
* I don't have a plan.
Part of planning is having a plan that fits your style. Not everyone works well from Structured Plan A. You might need a more creative plan. Something fun that will keep you motivated and focused. That is the key, motivation and focus along with a plan that fits your style.
Let's summarize.
Stop and Go Marketing...
* Drains our funnel of contacts as well as our energy.
* Creates reactions of: I don't know, Fear, Frustration, No time, No plan
Consistent Marketing...
* Keeps our contact funnel filled which gives us a nice flow of customers and income
* Keeps the negative reactions away and promotes energy
Remember, we all need to market in order to have a financially success business. It's your choice on how you want to market and what type of approach and plan will help you succeed with ease, energy and excitement.
