What are you really working for? If you own your own business, whether it's a small family restaurant, an automobile dealership, or anything in between...what are you doing on a daily basis to make it better than yesterday?<br /><br />Running your own business means that you are in charge. It means that you make the decisions and you are responsible for getting things done. You ARE the rain maker. You may not "do" everything yourself but you are ultimately responsible for the end result.<br /><br />You may have a secretary. You may have a sales staff. You may even have partners, but do you really have someone that you are accountable to for the success of your business? Other than your family, who do you answer to?<br /><br />If the answer is "no one", your business is suffering. You may not know it but it is.<br /><br />You need a coach. <br /><br />You need someone to push you a little further than you think you can go. You need someone who can point you in directions that you fail to recognize or give you guidance to untapped resources.<br /><br />I'm not talking about working harder and putting in more hours. I'm talking about what you focus on each day, how you delegate, and where your mind is at on a daily basis. <br /><br />A coach can help you stay on track and on target.<br /><br />Even $30,000,000 NFL quarterbacks have a coach. <br /><br />Think about that for a moment.<br /><br />Can a $30,000,000 quarterback take a team and win a game without the head coach? Yes...I think so. They are experienced. They know the game. They know the fundamentals. They are in tune with their team mates and they know all the plays.<br /><br />Essentially, the quarterback knows what he is doing. <br /><br />So why does he have a coach if he can win football games without one?<br /><br />Why would a $30,000,000 quarterback need any more coaching? I mean, he's already got the knowledge and the experience. Right?<br /><br />Post your comments and let me know why you think having a coach is critical for success. In a few days, I'll let you in on the real reason you need a coach...even if you are an expert at what you do. <br /><br />Make sure you don't miss out on this ongoing discussion.

Keep in mind that a coach doesn't necessarily need to cost you or your money...<br /><br />How?<br /><br />Well, I'll talk about that in my next post. Subscribe above so you don't miss any posts!

They may have a "sign up" page or an opt-in form on their site but...<br /><br />People simply aren't subscribing.<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />How do you entice people to sign up?<br /><br />Well, that's exactly what you need to examine. What are you offering in exchange for the name and email address? In order to receive, you must first GIVE!! You've got to give them something of true value. <br /><br />Are you offering a "free subscription" to your newsletter? BORING. Everybody offers that.<br />Are you offering a "free report"? Better...but still BORING.<br />Are you offering "coupons" to be sent directly to their email? Good...but still not very effective.<br /><br />What are you doing <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">different</span> to make it a complete "NO BRAINER" for your visitors to sign up to your list.<br /><br />The only way to do this is to give your visitor what they are looking for. They came to your site for a reason. What was that reason? Do you even know? How did they end up on your website anyway? If they are on your site, it is for a reason. It's not accidental.<br /><br />They either did a search and your results came up or you drove them there through some type of marketing campaign. Better yet, your visitor landed on your website because of word of mouth or some other type of "viral" marketing. The point is, they are on your website for a reason and it's your responsibility to capture that visitor and turn them into a customer.<br /><br />That's the big challenge.<br /><br />However, here's the good news...<br /><br />Your visitors will tell you exactly what they want if you just give them the chance. Once they tell you what they want, it's easy to sell to them.<br /><br />It's likely that you are not giving your visitors compelling reasons to give up their information. Most people are reluctant to join another mailing list if they feel that they are joining another marketing list.<br /><br />Here's a fact. People DO want to hear from you...if you are giving relevant information. They want to be informed, they want discounts, they want to feel special, they want that VIP treatment. However, they don't want to be "SOLD" to. That is the number one reason people balk at giving you their info. They are afraid of getting useless email that won't benefit them.<br /><br />Most consumers (erroneously) think of these email messages as SPAM. Even though it's technically not SPAM if they signed up to receive information from you, you need to eliminate the perception that you will be sending them this "SPAM".<br /><br />It's time to give them something unique to the niche that you are in<br /><br />Nobody likes to be "marketed" to.<br /><br />And that, my friend, is the main reason you are NOT getting as many subscribers as you would like. It's all in the perception of your visitor.<br /><br />One of the easiest ways to make sure you are offering something compelling enough to get someone to "sign up" is to evaluate the page that your visitor is on. In other words, it's <span style="font-weight: bold;">not enough</span> just to make sure there is an opt-in form on ALL your pages for "free coupons" or a "free newsletter". Sure, you need an opt-in form on all your pages but it MUST be relevant to the information on your page...not just a generic newsletter sign up, coupon offer, or free report.<br /><br />So, say you own an automotive dealership, for example. It isn't that effective to offer a "free newsletter" on your inventory page. If someone is on your site looking at vehicles online, they aren't looking for a free newsletter...they are looking for vehicles.<br /><br />So what could you offer them?<br /><br />Well, in this example, you could offer a used car buyers guide with a compelling title like "Top 10 Car Buying Secrets Revealed" or "Avoid Lemon Cars"...or a variety of many different reports that your visitor may be concerned about when shopping for a vehicle.<br /><br />Yes, you could offer a coupon here ($1500 off your next purchase) or something like that but remember, that's not relationship building...<br /><br />Plus, by doing this, you still are not relieving that perception of "SPAM" from that prospect when you send them follow-up messages in the future. They just wanted the coupon. Additionally, they probably won't sign up for the "coupon" if they aren't ready to buy or see any vehicles they're interested in while on your site.<br /><br />By offering them something of value (not just a coupon), you are opening yourself to continue to give them information. As you continue to send them valuable content and information, your messages are peppered with links calling them to take action and do business with you...that's what it's all about.<br /><br />Later, we'll talk about why you need to create multiple lists...for the same subscribers that you currently have.<br /><br />Thanks for reading my blog.<br /><br />Please visit <a href="http://www.signmeupmarketing.com">Sign Me Up Marketing</a> to see what we can do to help grow your business.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640836040001942049.post-13696670726599021412007-08-21T14:58:00.000-04:002007-08-21T15:52:51.294-04:00We're Interviewing Graphic Designers To Join Our Team<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Wow!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We're really gaining momentum now.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Over the past month, we've been creating <span style="font-weight: bold;">strategic alliances</span> with many different internet professionals who are interested in helping us launch and grow our business. It's been a full time job just interviewing different folks, chatting on Skype & Yahoo Messenger, exchanging emails, talking on the phone, etc.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We've pushed back our official launch several times just to develop the relationships we've been so fortunate establish with our new-found partners. We've even pushed back the development of our own website. Geeze!!<br /><br />But it's been worth every moment.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">We've been talking with:</span><br /></div><ul style="font-family: arial; text-align: justify;"><li>Copywriters</li><li>Graphic Designers</li><li>Ghost Writers</li><li>Webmasters<br /></li></ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:arial;">These new partners have given us so much more depth in the way that we will be able to provide services to back up our consulting to our future clients. I've been simply amazed at who is jumping on board with us....even with our website still in shambles, incomplete, and ugly! ;)<br /><br />I've even had several people go to a portion of our site that says "Coming Soon" and say "Hey, I can help with that". It's simply been amazing to me.<br /><br />I guess they see what we are putting together and recognize that it's a good concept...soon to be a reality. I've really been humbled by the support I've received as I've been putting this together.<br /><br />With some of the contacts I've made, you would never guess that these people would actually consider "freelancing"...they are already successful. We've been talking to several well known industry experts (in their field) who see the value of what we're putting together. Maybe they truly understand the big picture and where I'm headed with this company. Who knows?<br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />As a result of these conversations that we've had with our new partners, the shape and direction that Sign Me Up Marketing is going has completely changed for the better.<br /><br />I'm really excited about the relationships we've established thus far.<br /><br />There really isn't much that we WON'T be able to provide to our "brick & mortar" businesses as far as internet marketing is concerned.<br /><br />With that being said...<br /><br />I'd really like to talk with several more Graphic Designers who would enjoy steady work within the next 60 days.<br /><br />Interested?<br /><br />Just go to <a href="http://www.signmeupmarketing.com/partners/">http://www.signmeupmarketing.com/partners/ </a><br /><br />Thanks everybody.
