5 simple actions that will affect your bottom line immediately….

…but first….

Marketing communication should make your target KNOW, LIKE and TRUST you.

1. Know the

colour of

THEIR socks

Analyse current customers: demographics, behaviour, values, needs, fears, lifestyle, how to communicate etc

Make sure you have 1 or 2 narrow, well defined niches: specialise your language, your message, service, offers and supply tailored offers

Put an exit survey in place.

A short survey to capture details, testimonials and begin a relationship with your customers:

• name• email• birthday (if appropriate)• how they found you• comments• agree to use comments

2. Get Your

Messaging Right

What are you trying to do better than anyone else? How are you trying to better the world?

Verb + Target + Problem:“I show service professionals how to

triple sales”“ I make weight loss easy”

*Tell what you do in a manner that the listener cares about* All communications should shout this out

You sell a SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM, not a service.

State this a clearly and bluntly as possible and you are on your way to great messaging.

*Think ‘What Keeps you Up at Night?”*Questions or resistance are clues to how you are not meeting people’s needs*BENEFITS not features
