https://emailcopy.freeshopifytools.com/inbox
Between 2014 and 2018 the average office worker received about 90 emails a day and sent around 40 business emails daily. To take these numbers in context, if your company has 1000 employees the team will send out 40,000 business emails in just one day.
Based on a calculation of 250 business days per year, that culminates in an astonishing 10,000,000 emails annually. Turn your emails into targeted ads. Generate leads and drive prospects through your sales funnel with one-to-one branded email.
Cross-sell and up-sell to existing customers. Email is a critical part of the sales process. It’s where customers start to ask the probing questions about your products, and actively look for purchase decision validation.
This part of the sales journey falls outside of normal above-the-line, digital marketing, and CRM channels; and it really is where you need to have your very best sales processes representing your business.

“This it too expensive.” “We can’t afford this right now.”
“There’s no room in the budget for this.”
I’m assuming you’ve heard these objections before.
You get to the finish line…And instead of signing the contract, they balk at your price.
Pricing is a tough objection to get passed. Mostly business owners and sales people when they try justifying the price, they seem defensive.
Our natural gut reaction!!
If you give them a discount, you seem weak and value of your product or a service goes down.
But, that’s the wrong thing to do! And you also know that if you hold to your price, you might lose the deal.

🗣 What content do you consume routinely? 👉 Television shows are an obvious choice. What if your favorite show aired randomly and sometimes skipped a week? You’d no longer bother with it. When eating breakfast, do you go to the same webpage daily, expecting new material? Do you listen to the same podcast while commuting? What if they weren’t there for you one day? You’d find something new. “Just this once,” you’d say, but you might form a new habit. Attention doesn’t stop for anyone, it’s like age but attention does reward consistency very well. You want to be a reliable provider, source, brand, product, or whatever. You need to be there for your audience and customers. Lack of consistency also means you are losing the real estate In snapchat attention is time limited, similarly on Instagram and Facebook with the new design stories are a major part and if you don’t post every 24 hours you lose that attention from your potential clients to someone else
✅ Today’s fastest growing brands have this secret when it comes to how they design and build their services, experiences and products.
And, that is …” Consumer Compassion ”
They just show empathy, they design products and services which has taken consumer compassion into account.
Cabs and Taxis existed before, but Uber keeping consumer experience in mind which was super inconvenient and inefficient. They streamined the whole process, made it super easy and fast…..This is consumer compassion, where your products, services and experiences are designed keeping consumers in mind and they are very important.
Compassion in the time of need...

✅ Tom’s Shoes…Billion Dollar Brand
We all know many large companies that participate in cause marketing, but the one that is often at the top of people’s minds is TOMS shoes. TOMS was founded in 2006 and boasts a business model that promotes giving back. Their model is referred to as the “one-for-one concept” where they promise to deliver a pair of free, new shoes to a child in need for every sale of their retail product.

🖥DVD’s were a commodity….there were DVD stores in every nieghbourhood….in-fact there were the ones which use to sell porn.
Then Netflix broke the line, where industry was focused on creating more stores like blockbuster.
Netflix innovated an industry based on user experience where you no longer needed to store this big rack rather now you can access all these movies at a click of a button.

Emily Howard
Stowe was denied entrance into the Toronto School of Medicine in 1865 and was told by its Vice Principal, “The doors of the University are not open to women and I trust they never will be.
“Unable to study medicine in Canada, Emily Stowe earned her degree in the United States from the homeopathic New York Medical College for Women in 1867.
The same year, she returned to Canada and opened a medical practice in Toronto, on Richmond Street.
Stowe gained some local prominence through public lectures on women’s health and maintained a steady clientele through newspaper advertisements.

✨ Mitch joins me on Business Growth School to talk about things which stop any business from growing and scaling
🇨🇦 My Conversation with Mitch Cammidge from Mitch Cammidge Coaching 👩💼
Last Episode # ➡️ What if you can improve your email response rates by 558%…..and cold calls rates by 209% 🎯
55% of Companies Take 5+ Days to Respond Fifty-five is the percentage of companies of the same survey that took 5+ days to respond to leads. Worse yet, of this 55%, 12% didn’t respond at all…
The history of human communication has always been about reducing friction. Humans have always looked for better and faster ways to connect with each other. We evolved from the pony express, to snail mail, to phones, texting, emailing, instant messaging, instagamming, live tweeting….Snapchatting … the list goes on….now it’s all about instant access.
A recent HBR study analyzed 1.25 millions sales leads, and found you’re seven times more likely to win a deal if you respond to prospects in less than an hour versus responding in two hours.

These 2 phrases have just 1 word which makes a huge difference on your growth:
“Your marketing doesn’t just need to give your customers a reason to buy, your marketing needs to give your customers a reason to buy NOW!”
Grocery Store
How many times you walked down the grocery aisle and told yourself maybe later. Alot of things which you want, we tell ourselves we will get it later. Now imagine you walk down the same grocery aisle and you see a sale which has limited quantities and time offer. Only 30 pieces are remaining and offer is only valid today. Now your maybe can change to I want that!!
Supreme
Look at this example from a brand called Supreme. You won’t believe, what this brand has been able to achieve. They have a cult following and with only 11 stores worldwide they are valued at 1 Billion $.
This is crazy right….their cult following reminds people of michael jordon or nike limited release days in 1990’s, when people use to line up outside stores to buy them and then when gaming companies use to launch games on Xbox or Nintendo there use to be lineups on Best Buy and other electronic stores.
Supreme works on the principal of Exclusivity and Scarcity. They produce just limited number of products.
Crazy stuff is there are websites which re-sell Supreme merchandise for like 400 or 600% original price…if a hoodie costed $300 it’s reselling for $1600….holy!!

What I told you that you can improve your email response rates by over 558% and phone by 209%?
The solution is much more easier than you think: switch from sending emails or cold calls to sending LinkedIn messages to your prospects and potential clients.
In a recent experiment, where one social selling expert sent out 100 InMails and 100 emails and made 100 phone calls, LinkedIn responses outperformed e-mail by 558% and phone by 209%.
Here is a real world case study conducted by John Dougan that targeted 300 senior executive contacts. The database used for all outreach was comprised of known contacts and all three used similar language in the text or script.

👩💼 Let me tell you something….most of the business owners either wing their pricing strategy or take it from their competitors or local market without putting alot of thought behind it.

📊📈 Perfection is a productivity killer. As LinkedIn cofounder said if you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product then you are too late...because by the time you come up with beta version your competitor is on version 2.0 📉

Ditch The Old Way of Targeting Your Potential Clients.... 🚀Understand the Difference to Improve Your Marketing Efforts
💯 Demographics are the statistical data of a population, especially those showing average age, income, education, etc. Some of the most generally observed demographics are ethnicity, gender, age, disabilities, employment status, etc. It can be seen as a very useful insight into the culture of the people or a certain population that exists in a certain region.
📲 Psychographics, on the other hand, are the use of demographics to forecast consumer behavior, determine the personality, values, interests, opinions, attitudes and tastes of a particular segment of a population. Psychographics are very useful component of marketing and research, as well as gaining strategic insight.
📊 Psychographic information is all about your buyer's habits, hobbies, spending habits and values. Demographics explain “who” your buyer is, while psychographics explain “why” they buy.

✅ Do you know the reason behind it? ✅
Brand perceptions are shaped by the sum of all experiences customers have with your brand. In short, people buy when they believe in the value of what they are getting and their focus is drawn away, through critical factors like perceived quality, from the plethora of options available in the market to the one or two products that ‘feel like them’.
If your business is just positioning on price, you will be compared like a commodity although you provide better service then the industry...

📊 There has never been a better time to sell value-added products and services at value-added prices than today! However, there has never been a time at which there was a greater propensity to push products and services down to the commodity level.
📲 What’s a typical sale like for your company? Do your sales people struggle to peddle your product or service in a saturated market? Do you sell customers on the benefits you can deliver, only to have them make a decision based on price? Or, are your company’s products actively sought out by consumers who are willing to pay a premium price just to do business with you?
✅ The ability to achieve premium, or value-added, prices hinges on a company’s ability to develop its brand identity. To create a successful brand, you must first understand where your company is in the market
Did you know that between 70 and 96 percent percent of people who abandon your website never return?
As a marketer, your number one goal should be to convert those one-time visitors into customers. You can’t achieve this goal if visitors aren’t sticking around to read your content.
The longer your visitors stay on your site, the more engaged they'll be, and the higher the chance for them to convert.

What will help you outrank and out beat your local competition on search engines in 2019...
In the past, they've had to do all sorts of algorithms to try and get at this from obtuse angles. But now, with a lot of the work that they're doing around measuring engagement and with all of the data that's coming to them through Chrome and through Android, they're able to get much, much closer to what is truly accomplishing the searcher's task. That's because they really want results that satisfy the query and fulfill the searcher's task.
That is so different from how it used to be. It used to be that you could have that contact form. You could have that on there. You could not solve the searcher's query. You could basically be very conversion rate-focused on your page, and so long as you could get the right links and the right anchor text and use the right keywords on the page, guess what? You could rank. Those days are ending. I'm not going to say they're gone, but they are ending, and this new era of searcher task accomplishment is here.

Holiday season Shopping in Canada - Statistics & Facts
The holiday season is considered the busiest time of year for the retail sector, with a surge in trade typically commencing on Black Friday, the day following U.S. Thanksgiving. Deemed an American shopping tradition, the annual Black Friday sales have gained increasing popularity in Canada in recent years with consumers eager to find a bargain. Consumers are using various channels on Black Friday to purchase their discounted goods, with 55 percent of consumers using Canadian websites and 58 percent visiting Canadian stores. With increased marketing and awareness, the number of consumers buying items from Black Friday promotions has increased to 31 percent in 2017.
The average holiday shopping expenditure for Canadians shopping in-store in 2017 was 1,622 Canadian dollars, with children and partners being the people consumers spend the most on during the holidays. When it comes to generational holiday shopping budgeting, Millennials are the generation most likely to exceed their budget, with 55 percent of Millennial consumers stating they over-spent in 2017.
Despite the high prevalence of over-spending across all generations, price is an important factor to consumers when they are purchasing holiday gifts. This comes as no surprise when you consider that 50 percent of consumers anticipated that the prices of holiday goods would be higher in 2017 than the previous year. Department stores in Canada are the most popular location for holiday shopping , followed by mass merchants and grocery stores - Statista

🔝 3 Core Pillars of Ranking Number 1 on Google & Other Search Engines🔝
In a Q&A with Google, Andrey Lipattsev, a Search Quality Senior Strategist at Google, said the other two factors were links and content:
I can tell you what they are. It is content. And it’s links pointing to your site.
He wouldn’t say which was more important, so the top three list now looks like this:
1 & 2: Links & Content
3: RankBrain (Source)
What is Google RankBrain?
RankBrain is a machine learning (AI) algorithm that Google uses to sort the search results. It also helps Google process and understand search queries.
In short, RankBrain tweaks the algorithm on its own.
Depending on the keyword, RankBrain will increase or decrease the importance of backlinks, content freshness, content length, domain authority etc.
Then, it looks at how Google searchers interact with the new search results. If users like the new algorithm better, it stays. If not, RankBrain rolls back the old algorithm.
Here’s the craziest part:
Google asked a group of Google Engineers to identify the best page for a given search. They also asked RankBrain.
And RankBrain outperformed brainy Google engineers by 10%! (Backlinko)

Part 2: Content!!
Content in 2015: Ask many writers for a quote to research and write an article, and the response is typical:
What’s the word count and deadline?
Content today: Here’s what the question should be:
Who is the audience and what’s the goal?
It’s a sad fact that the 50% of content created goes unread.
You don't want to get lost in soo much content which is generated on daily basis.
There are app. 1440 minutes in a given day: 5.8 billion daily Google Searches in 2017.
1,209,600 new social media users each day are added.
659 million tweets per day are posted
More than 4 million hours of content uploaded to Youtube every day, with users watching 5.97 billion hours of Youtube videos each day.
68,305,600 Instagram posts uploaded each day
4.4billion Facebook messages posted daily!
5.79 billion Facebook likes every day.
23 billion texts sent every day.
EECU formula makes your content addictive = More traffic = Search engines love your content
If your content doesn't follow EECU formula, you will not be seen. Because search engines are now following user behavior to analyze which websites provide good content and where people stay the most + keep coming back.
We applied this formula to go from 10k in monthly traffic to 32k in monthly unique visitors (Without using paid advertising)
These 4 things of the puzzle make any content marketing strategy explode. Here is how we went from 10k to around 30k in monthly traffic within 4-5 months and now plan to hit 100k a month by December 2018. Be authentic and add value to the conversation by being in-depth and writing with an intention that it will help the person who is reading it to make a decision or choice.
To make your content super addictive you need to apply EECU formula:
Entertainment value / Enjoyable
Educational value
Curiosity value / Boredom kills copy. Addictive articles use ‘seeds of curiosity.’
Ultra-practical / actionable / not confusing
If your content doesn't follow EECU formula, you will not be seen.

What is different about you? And why should I work with you over dozens of other options?...
Do you struggle with this??
Whether you are a builder, accountant, realtor, or manufacture loudspeakers or baseball bats, the way you position your firm can determine your success.
Do you want prospects to seek you out?
Do you want people to pay you more?
Do you want to stand head and shoulders above your competition?
With a simple positioning strategy you can get more attention than you imagined and bring in those high-margin projects and the profits you want.
Cost of not doing it right!! It’s like going to gym for 6 months and not seeing results or following a diet plan but not seeing results. Sometimes we keep doing things and don’t improve or make adjustments over time.
In marketing it’s like spending 100,000 and not sure what you are getting or if that’s the best you can get.
Problem is that no campaign or marketing strategy is perfect, but over time through testing and trying it gets refined and becomes very effective. Just putting a strategy in place and not refining it over time has a cost.
It’s Ok!! Just start Changing 1 Thing at a Time It’s ok if things are not working out but you have to change them in order to improve. It’s like going to gym and seeing no results but going for another 6 months just with the hope that time will change it.
In marketing you have to constantly test and improve. Which can create amazing opportunities for growth and fix the leaks in your marketing program.
A podcast listener from Red Deer, Alberta emailed me 6 months ago. It’s a family owned plumbing company and they were spending $4000/month on online marketing or almost $50,000 a year. They had 4 vans running and they wanted to get a fifth van but sales were not there yet.
We chatted and I sent him some recommendations. Among those recommendations one of them was to have a exit intent or behavioural pop-up on their website. He went ahead and implemented few things, among them was also the pop-up I recommended him.

I always ask this question, can you show me your blog post? Just by scanning it in most cases we can narrow it down and point out why it’s not getting the desired results.
Problem is they don’t follow a proper process and don’t do it properly

Nudge theory has been prevalent in politics and behavioural economics for decades, and it was popularized in a 2008 book by economists Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. In the book, they describe a nudge as ‘any aspect of the choice architecture that alters people’s behaviour in a predictable way without forbidding any options or significantly changing their economic incentives.’
Nudging works most effectively when it is used for good, creating a “win-win” situation for both companies and individuals.
We’ve seen examples here that make one thing clear: nudging holds the potential to move the marketing paradigm towards a proper understanding of the subconscious drivers of consumer behavior. But it is equally clear that it works most effectively when used to create a win-win situation for both companies and individuals.
Influencing Your Potential Customers Buying Decisions
Not just Businesses but schools, marketers and even governments are now using this technique so people can take desired actions.
Simple act of getting high school kids to fill out a college application before they graduated was the nudge that changed the course of their lives. Nudges are small, almost invisible, and often controversial.
So, how do we think…

Colors & Leads: How Colors Impact # of Leads From Online Marketing Campaigns Color of a room can affect your mood. Red has been shown to raise blood pressure, increase speed of respiration and quicken heart rate. Blue, on the other hand, has the opposite effect: it reduces blood pressure, slows down respiration and reduces heart rate.
This study, published on the Web site of the journal Science, researchers at the University of British Columbia conducted tests with 600 people to determine whether cognitive performance varied when people saw red or blue. Participants performed tasks with words or images displayed against red, blue or neutral backgrounds on computer screens.

From a marketing standpoint, emojis are undeniably useful. Emojis in a tweet can increase engagement by 25.4 percent, and emojis in a Facebook post can increase the number of likes by 57 percent and the number of comments and shares by 33 percent.
Academic study proving the fact Emoji’s or Emoticons work… Link
Emojis can be powerful tools that help your messages stick with your audience: a study found that participants who were sent messages with emojis scored higher on memory than those who were sent messages without emojis, indicating that emojis can make your message more memorable.

For Valentine’s Day, the study found that using a “lips” emoji in the subject line resulted in a 24% read rate and an 89% inbox placement vs. the text-only group which only achieved a 20% read rate and an 83% inbox placement.
During ‘Biscuit Week’ in August 2016, the supermarket sent subscribers emails using the “biscuit” emoji in the subject line alongside the text ‘Crumbs, it’s biscuit week!’. These emails generated almost double the usual read rates, illustrating the impact emojis can have when used strategically – Source: 6 Ways To Use Emoji’s

👨🏼💻👨🏼💻 SEO Mistakes To Avoid in 2019 🤓
We are already in the middle of 2018, and there have been some really different trends in the field of SEO. But any good strategy has its fair share of mistakes. There are numerous SEO mistakes that businesses make without realizing them. Let us throw some light on these mistakes to help you avoid them.
But what if even after putting in efforts you do not yield the results you aimed for? What if your website is still on the fourth or fifth page of the search results? Probably, you aren’t doing something right. Therefore, to help you identify and rectify these mistakes, in this article, I will talk about the 10 critical SEO mistakes that businesses should avoid.
Lack of Keyword Research
Adding keywords to your web content is an integral part of the search engine optimization process. Keywords are the terms used to conduct online searches on the search engine. When these keywords are added to your web content, it increases your chances of ranking well on the search engine result pages. But simply adding keywords to your web content will not help you get a good SEO rank. The very first mistake people do when it comes to keywords is that they do not research enough. You can easily assume keywords, but that won’t get you results. What you need to understand is the preferences of the target audience in keywords. Conducting research will give you a clear idea of what your target audience is looking for and how your product or service can fulfill your customers need. You will be able to identify the short-tail and long-tail keywords commonly used by your target audience.

To understand the concept of social proof, you have to consider a scenario where you are in an unfamiliar city and are looking for a good restaurant where you can eat dinner. You come across two restaurants that are located across the street from each other.
One is extremely busy, while the other one is virtually empty. Which one to do you choose? Nearly every time, the busier restaurant will be selected over the empty restaurant. The answer as to why this happens can be explained through the concept of social proof.
Social proof, when used correctly, can be one of the most powerful tools of persuasion because it connects the persuasiveness of the given thought or behavior, directly to the way that others are perceived to respond to it. The brain will naturally lower the perceived risk of engaging in an activity because of the understanding that many people are participating in the idea or event.
This explains why Oprah's book club is so popular, with many of the books ending up on the bestsellers list
Recently, the Ford Motor Company gave away Ford Focus cars to a number of popular YouTube influencers under the assumption that the positive response from those influencers would drive interest in the vehicles.
The promotion worked. The following quarter, sales of Ford Focus went up by 22 percent among 18 to 35-year-old demographics.
Online Reviews
Online reviews are becoming more and more critical in converting prospects into paying customers.
In fact, 74 percent of customers say positive reviews make them trust a company even more.
In order to ensure that online reviews left by customers are positive, you need to ensure that your online presence is in tip-top shape and that your previous customers can easily leave reviews for the products and services they purchased.
You may also want to consider providing existing customers with incentives for leaving positive reviews about their experience. At the bare minimum, you need to have a profile on a variety of different social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. You also need to ensure that you have a Yelp and My Business page on Google if you have a physical location.
It is imperative that you follow up with all of your customers while their experience with your company is still fresh in their minds. Customers are more likely to respond positively to a request for a review if you strike while the iron is hot.
Most businesses fail to ask for a review giving you the perfect opportunity to take advantage of and create social proof.
Once you start receiving a steady stream of positive reviews, it is crucial that you make sure potential customers have as many opportunities to see them as possible by posting each and every one to your social media accounts.
This will not only keep you generating a steady stream of content, which will keep you in your customers' minds, but it also helps to reinforce the idea of your positive social proof.
Take More Photos
These days, photos are the currency of the Internet. By providing plenty of pictures of happy, real, individuals using your products or services you can significantly improve your social proof. When you can add photos to actual testimonials, you can get an even more significant boost.
So, you will want to either take photos of happy customers yourself, you ask your customers to send you pictures of themselves enjoying the product or service they purchased. Photos will help to visually reinforce the trustworthiness of the review and increase the odds that it will go viral.
Share Relevant Anecdotes
Sharing stories of previously satisfied customers is a simple and effective way to increase sales. In fact, studies have shown that a good story is likely to make a potential customer more empathetic, trusting, and open by literally releasing a chemical in the brain known as oxytocin.
In contrast, breaking down the same story into a series of facts about the product is shown to make the customer quicker to question what is..
No one ☝️ likes to wait .....Implications of being slow are devastating... As we all have borderline ADHD, we want everything instantly. Fifty percent wouldn’t go back again to an establishment that kept them waiting for something. Surprising as all this may be, the implications of this impatience are even more shocking. Amazon’s calculated that a page load slowdown of just one second could cost it $1.6 billion in sales each year. Google has calculated that by slowing its search results by just four tenths of a second they could lose 8 million searches per day–meaning they’d serve up many millions fewer online adverts. The State of Online Retail Performance analysis report held some startling revelations. Most notably, the best load times for peak conversions ranges from 1.8 to 2.7 seconds. Now brace yourself. The research also found out how much just a tenth of a second matters. Desktop pages that loaded in 2.7 seconds had a peak conversion rate of 12.8%. Pages that loaded one-tenth of a second slower, or 2.8 seconds, had a 2.4% decrease in conversion rate. On Prime Day, Amazon sold 6,000 items per minute. That’s 360,000 items per hour and 8,640,000 items in 24 hours. (You’re wishing you were Amazon right now, aren’t you? Me, too.). How much would Amazon lose by loading in 2.8 seconds? That one-tenth of a second would add up to a loss of 144 sales a minute, 8,640 sales per hour, and 207,360 sales in 24 hours. YIKES!

Let’s start with the facts. 80% of all Internet users use Facebook. Even 65% of adults over the age of 65 use Facebook. It has over 1.85 billion users. Most users check their Facebook page multiple times per day. Regardless of who your customers are, they are using Facebook. And, they use it daily. Therefore, one of the most important benefits of Facebook advertising is that your customers use it daily.
SME business owners now have the opportunity to reach huge audiences based on psychographics and demographics that would have been unheard of just a mere decade ago.
There are amazing targeting options. Here is one:
Lookalike Audiences uses machine learning to help find you valuable potential customers who are similar to those who visit your site or are already in your CRM. So you can upload a list of your most valued customers from your CRM and have Facebook hunt down similar users based on their rich data.

How to influence buying & purchasing decisions using emotions Using these 6 ways you can influence buying decisions of your potential customers. In the previous episode we talked about how we all make emotional decisions when it comes to purchasing products and services.
So, customers interested in letting a property were told “Lettings? Let me connect you with Sandra, who has over 15 years’ experience letting properties in this area.” Customers who wanted more information about selling properties were told “Speak to Peter, our head of sales. He has over 20 years’ experience selling properties. I’ll put you through now.”
The impact of this expert introduction led to a 20% rise in the number of appointments and a 15% increase in the number of signed contracts. * Consistency: In one famous set of studies, researchers found rather unsurprisingly that very few people would be willing to erect an unsightly wooden board on their front lawn to support a Drive Safely campaign in their neighborhood.
However in a similar neighborhood close by, four times as many homeowners indicated that they would be willing to erect this unsightly billboard. Why? Because ten days previously, they had agreed to place a small postcard in the front window of their homes that signaled their support for a Drive Safely campaign. That small card was the initial commitment that led to a 400% increase in a much bigger but still consistent change. * Liking:
Persuasion science tells us that there are three important factors. We like people who are similar to us, we like people who pay us compliments, and we like people who cooperate with us towards mutual goals.
75% of people who check into a hotel for four nights or longer will reuse their towels at some point during their stay. So what would happen if we took a lesson from the Principle of Consensus and simply included that information on the cards and said that 75% of our guests reuse their towels at some time during their stay, so please do so as well. It turns out that when we do this, towel reuse rises by 26%.
Source: 6 Principles of Persuasion
We are all emotional!! Most people believe that the choices they make result from a rational analysis of available alternatives. In reality, however, emotions greatly influence and, in many cases, even determine our decisions.
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) shows that when evaluating brands, consumers primarily use emotions (personal feelings and experiences), rather than information (brand attributes, features, and facts).
Advertising research reveals that the consumer’s emotional response to an ad has far greater influence on their reported intent to buy a product than does the ad’s content — by a factor of 3-to-1 for television commercials and 2-to-1 for print ads.
How quickly you decide to buy a pair of sneakers is entirely different from how long you take to decide to buy a house. But, some general approaches hold true across all selling that can help your team shorten the sales cycle and close more deals faster.
Remember, the longer your sales cycle, the more time for your competition to swoop in and steal your deal.

Focusing On Activities Instead Of Actual Results
Outputs of Marketing/Selling: are essentially the avenues and activities you use to reach out to customers. Print advertising and retail stores are two traditional avenues for marketing your business. Content marketing outputs have exploded over the past decade, making blogs, social media, videos, surveys, and other online tools incredibly valuable. The trouble arises when businesses try to measure their effectiveness based strictly on these outputs. Unfortunately, the amount of time and effort involved does not guarantee any degree of marketing progress. You can have infinity outputs, but if they’re ineffective, they have absolutely no value.
Outcomes of Marketing/Selling: are much more reliable area of focus. They are the resultof the hard work you expend through your outputs. So let’s say you use your website to gather email addresses. Then you send out relevant newsletters to those who opted in. The outputs are your website and your newsletters. But what matters? The outcomes: How many sales were made as a result? How has the newsletter changed public perception of your company?

In today’s time, a lot depends on the way you market your business on the digital platforms. That is because the era is about digitization and every business is benefitting the most from online marketing. Online marketing has proven to be beneficial for businesses as it not only provides a wider channel to communicate with the potential customers, but also enables entrepreneurs to market in a much cost-effective manner. This is possible when you have a well-planned marketing strategy. While you may feel that taking matters in your own hand is right, I would not recommend it. If you try to work out your online marketing strategy on your own, you may get some success. However, in the long run, you will find it difficult to keep the success consistent. Professional experience and understanding of the different concepts of online marketing is necessary to have a good online marketing strategy. Therefore, you need to hire a good experienced and knowledgeable marketing agency. So, how do you determine which agency is right for your business marketing. Well, here are some points to consider.

Why Facebook Ads….Facebook Knows More About You Then You Know Yourself!! More then half a trillion dollars of advertising revenue!! Big brands to fortune 500 companies use Facebook advertising. It’s concerning that how effective it is. Things like you can pinpoint to people.
For years now, Facebook has been reducing the visibility of the business pages in people’s news feeds. This means that the organic reach of business or company posts is pretty much limited. This may be a frustrating news for most businesses who tried to make social media marketing their powerful marketing weapon. If you too are one of them, you must know that the world of social media advertising, Facebook advertising, precisely, isn’t coming to an end so soon. You can still make the most of Facebook and advertise your business with the help of paid Facebook ads. Depending on what you expect from your advertising campaign, Facebook has numerous types of advertising. In simple words, there’s one advertising type for every business and business goal.

How To Design Your Service Pages To Convert Consider your service based business website as an interactive salesperson, where your job is to convince potential clients through summaries (rather than boring old service descriptions) why your services are the ones they should choose over other local competitors.

# 2: Your Headline (First thing people will read) & What you say before the fold.

Make The Default Choice Very Easy We are all followers and we love following. The moment we don’t know what to do we get uncomfortable. When you don’t make it easy for your customers, you tend to loose.
Yesterday we talked about why service providers waste more than 70% of online leads because of not having a solid closing system in their business and they fail to get back to their potential leads right away. There is another major problem before even traffic turns into a lead.
Service providers need to understand we living in the day and age where everyone has ADHD (Attention Deficit Disorder). You have seen how we browse our screens, you have seen how frustrated we get when website doesn’t load on time. Similarly we get frustrated when we businesses don’t make it easy for us to work with them.

In alot of companies sales and marketing efforts don't align. You ask the marketing team, yes we are getting tons of leads and traffic. You ask the sales team, they have a very different picture of this whole situation. Harvard Business Review, 71% of qualified leads are never followed up with. What’s more is, of the leads that are followed up on, they’re only touched an average of 1.3 times. What is the biggest problem you might be asking?
Companies don’t respond fast enough to leads. In fact, they take 46 hours and 53 minutes to pick up the phone and respond to a lead.
This can be changed!! Increase from 27% to 92% is an increase of 341% lift in results just by responding immediately and persistently to online leads. We worked with one of our clients and here are the results they got...By moving their average response time from 6 days to 1 day, their close rates went from 3.2% to 7.5%.
Here is another interesting data which will surprise you. It's like every additional minute is costing you money....
After 20 hours every additional dial you or your salespeople make actually hurts your ability to make contact to qualify a lead.”

Twitter Chat Twitter chats are an excellent way to get the kind of traction most local service providers only dream of on Twitter, giving you a huge boost in engagement and traffic while generating conversations that center your business.
Big brands have been using Twitter chat, but we don't see alot of local service providers taking advantage of that. Netflix’s #DVDchat, for example, is their monthly Twitter chat. Netflix’s account will post questions around a specific theme or genre, like horror movies or musicals.
Determine business goals is a critical thing. You can’t figure out how to host a successful Twitter chat, after all, if you don’t even really know what “success” means for you.
Netflix’s #DVDchat, for example, isn’t called “#NetflixChat” or “#MovieChat.” It’s called #DVDchat, and they’ll intentionally bring up movies that aren’t on the online streaming roster, because it encourages users to subscribe to their lesser-used DVD mailing service.

What is a Virtual Summit? A Virtual Summit is like an event or a conference where you have speakers, sponsors and thought leaders, but it is held entirely over the internet. It’s not a live event that is happening in a room or a hotel and then is live-streamed or broadcast via the web.
Why Service Based Businesses Should Hold Them? And it’s harder and harder for people to travel to events with family obligations, deadlines and natural weather patterns. So, virtual summits are gaining a huge popularity because of the convenience of being able to tap into the minds of thought leaders without having to travel.
Also, hosting a virtual summit is much cheaper then hosting an actual event or a conference. It can easily go into thousands to put up a good conference. Example:
Property Management Company putting a virtual conference: Become a Property Investor Summit
Pharmacy can put together a summit: Managing Your Diabetes Summit

BYD Example (Reverse Engineering Toyota) The Chinese firm, whose name stands for “Build Your Dreams,” was founded as a battery and electronics manufacturer in 1995 and in 2002 they decided to expand into the automotive sector. They are regarded as one of the biggest manufacturers in China. It has even attracted investments from Warren Buffett (who in 2008 bought a 10% stake in the firm and upped it in August 2009).
So, what does BYD do and how they have been able to grow this fast?
Reverse engineering...BYD's cars are mostly virtually-identical copies of Toyota models, but sold at half the price. BYD has become quite a success story, becoming the world’s largest supplier of Ni-Cd batteries and the second-largest supplier of Li-Ion batteries, and they is applying its reverse engineering experience to an ever-widening array of products.
Here they reduced their cost on R&D and also testing and trying. Rather they focused on what is already innovated and proven then reverse engineered it produce at mass scale beating all the competitors who are building the original version.

Overflow Model vs Production Model I was in a meeting with a big grocery chain and while talking to them I found out that they plan their marketing activities 1 year in advance. All the promotions, deals, specials etc. are planned and also what media will be used for what campaigns. But I find service based businesses like Lawyers, Dentists, Accountants etc. don't practice this religiously.
Alot of service based businesses approach marketing with Overflow Model, which means they react when they are in trouble....

After extensive market research and focus groups, Raw Media put together a media centre that echos what the consumer wants. Incredible speed, ease of use, compact size and our legendary remote control. "We dont want our clients to be restricted in use, we left the box raw and unrestricted." This means you will be able to install thousands of free apps like skype, play games, open and edit documents and spreadsheets, surf the web, send and receive emails, add external peripherals such as webcams, mics, printers, card readers, digital cameras, KODI aka XBMC and much more.
Self starter & self created entrepreneur who has been involved in 5 successful start ups, Also owned a strong position within these start ups companies. Since starting these businesses from the ground up I have sold these positions for an excellent returns and along with these investors and partners.
