Will You Add? - Discover the Winning Marketing Strategy Secrets of Donald Trump Apprentice Wanna-bes
Moving to another state meant finding a new dentist. I tried one a neighbor recommended who seemed friendly, competent and eager to please. But, I never went back. His office was a case study on the importance of little things.The coat hook was missing a screw and falling from the wall; waiting room magazines were outdated; the posted office hours were taped over with an index card and new hours written in marker; the credenza was overflowing with mail and claim forms.

A company is powered by its people and the gas of that engine is recruiting. Staffing professionals know this, C-level executives are aware of the fact and likewise savvy investors who bet on the jockey rather than the horse they ride on.

In one of the episodes Trump challenged the two opposing teams of apprentice wannabes (Apex and Mosaic) to put together a bridal gown sale.

(For more details see the blow-by-blow outline of this episode.)
Mosaic moved very quickly. They…
1. Zeroed in on a specific strategy: give other bridal shops’ opportunity to sell their discontinued designs at drastically discounted prices.
2. Formulated a marketing plan: send 23,000 highly targeted email announcements to brides-to-be for a cost of $1,000
3. Divided and delegated the tasks and got busy implementing their plan.
As a result of a clear and attractive offer Mosaic easily attracted local bridal shops eager to get rid of their discontinued lines.
Meanwhile Apex jumped right into chasing potential vendors and – without a clear and enticing marketing message - endured one rejection after another.
Discouraged, they almost gave up before stumbling onto a helpful local bridal shop owner who managed to point them in the “right direction”.

When it comes to personality profiling, the human development industry has countless tests and assessments from which to choose.

But just as they had no plan to attract vendors to their gown sale, Apex didn’t give any thought as to who their target market was and where they could easily and quickly find large groups of prospects.
Their marketing strategy of handing out fliers at Grand Central and Penn Station (in New York) was unfocused and unnecessarily tied up team members’ most precious asset – time.
The results?
Mosaic attracted a city-block-long line or eager-to-buy prospects and generated $12,788.94 in profits in one day! Apex brought in only a handful of buyers and a measly $1,060.47.
