So what kinds of proven marketing strategies and or “battlefield tested” tactics, are you constantly using these days to grow your business and or service?
BTW, just between you and me, (I personally) happen to really adore that phrase “battlefield tested.”(Why you ask?)
Because, it subconsciously sends, (and or) flat out implies your process or processes, or system(s) if you prefer, have not only withered the proverbial storm or two, and come out on the other end, not only intact, but flourished as well!
And the exact same thing can be said for the phrase “power networking!” Don’t you agree?
Because, it’s one thing to do a little, (semi effective) networking here and there, but it’s altogether different, to be consistently engaged in some type of (bank account) filling power networking!
Wouldn’t you say? In fact, given the choice, would you rather invest your time and other extremely valuable, (albeit) somewhat limited resources, in someone that occasionally networks or individuals that specialized in some good ole fashion power networking!(Me too! 😎 )
So How Does This So Called Power Networking Process Vault You To the Front Of The Line And Beyond?
Well, before we officially go there. Ladies & gentlemen, (and fellow) profit seeking entrepreneurs, can we please briefly talk about the not so often spoken about side of successful online marketing strategies and or tactics etc!
Because this is critically important, for you to grasp right out of the gate!Otherwise your clouded, misjudgment of reality will eventually lead to some major frustration and eventual burnt out!
So here’s the thing.You constantly hear an awful lot about consistently using various forms of marketing leverage to one degree or another, correct?
Case in point: how many times, has it been suggested, you (and I) actively seek out major guest blogging opportunities, with some highly influential bloggers,right?
And you know the names. Influencer-s like Enstine Muki and or Ryan Biddulph etc.
Successful Entrepreneurs Know How To Face And Eventually Overcome Ongoing Obstacles!
In order to leverage their current audience, and their relationship with their constantly expanding audience as well.But in order for that to consistently start happening, you and I have to first, get the approval of these highly influential bloggers,correct?
And there in lies your(our) first major, potential road block!Huh? (And if you don’t successfully clear that very first hurdle, the rest is moot anyway!)
You see, that decision, rests entirely in the hands of the highly influential blogger owner. In fact, think about it from this perspective for just a second.
Savvy Entrepreneurs And Power Networking Go Together Like Peanut Butter And Jelly!
Case in point:Briefly put yourself in the shoes of your typical, influential blogger. They’ve got their very own opt in email list, of somewhere over 10,000 or more VIP subscribers!
(And of course, it’s far more important,you and I have a highly responsive opt in email/mobile list, not just a numerically large one! Correct?)
They routinely average, (at least) 10,00-50,000 unique visitors to their blog a month or more! And one particular, (highly influential) blogger, I’m thinking of, she routinely averages, in excess of 200,000 unique visitors a month! (Yea, she’s definitely all that and a bag of chips! 😎 )
And they’ve got more than their fair share of enthusiastic strategic alliance partners, to aggressively promote their product launches and paid membership sites etc.
Extremely Successful Entrepreneurs Learn How To Make Quality Decisions As Well!
Now contrast that, to an inexperienced newbie blogger, with (currently) less than 100 unique visitors a month, to their mobile responsive WordPress blog!
And a current opt in email/text message subscriber base, of less than 20 subscribers!(Five have already unsubscribed! 😀 )
And virtually no comments and very little social sharing of their weekly and or periodic blog post! And lately, you’ve only been publishing, fresh new problem solving content, once every other month!
If you were a major blogger of influence, (looking to actively grow your reach and influence even further),would you risk your extremely hard earned reputation,and risk temporarily alienating your extremely loyal audience, by allowing an inexperienced newbie blogger like that, to guest post on any of your primary blogs?
I didn’t think so!(And for the record, neither would I!)
In Order To Become A Really Successful Entrepreneur Requires You To Become Exceptional At Power Networking!
Hopefully, you get the main point, which is, guest blogging requires someone else’s ultimate approval, before you can get the ball rolling in a major way!
But my friend, watch “how” that’s so not the case, with regards to some consistent, strategic power networking!
Let’s say your single location, jeweler store outlet, which isn’t currently located in one of the city’s most popular (and therefore) most expensive, prime retail locations!
You Definitely Don’t Need A Huge Budget In Order To Consistently Generate Some Bankable Lead Generation Results!
And (truth told), suggesting your store is currently in fourth place, in your local market, behind the three major players in town, might even be a stretch! 😎
After all, they routinely invest upwards of $60,000 dollars plus a month, on practically all of the outrageously expensive, traditional advertising mediums!
So it’s not like your current (traditional) advertising budget of a mere $25,000 dollars a month, can allow you to successfully go head to head with them, right? No way!
Ever Notice How Some Of Your Best Power Networking Tips Are Pretty Simple And Basic!
However, watch “how” an incredibly simple and straight forward power networking strategy, can literally vault your (semi) cash strapped small business (and or) service,and take it from virtual unknown, to top of mind and beyond in a mere heartbeat!
Let’s say you initially allocate $7,500 dollars a month, (or X) and you systematically go about, generating some positive, viral word of mouth & mouse buzz!
Here’s “how” you might initially go about it.As quickly as you can, go find at least three incredibly popular, upscale local bars, that have at least a few, (popular) female bartenders and or waitresses. 😎
You’d Be Pleasantly Surprised What The Right Type Of Power Networking Tips Can and Will Do For Your Bottom Line!
And here’s how you strategically create an incredibly powerful, perpetual daisy chain of events, that constantly lead to more & more business, for literally pennies on the dollar!
You give them one of your most popular $400 dollar, diamond studded earrings!Then hand them a (super time sensitive) VIP, “new customer only” discount card.
And hand write an expiration date on the back. Say, (at least) ten business days out.And as long as they come to your store, before the expiration date, with a potential first time new customer, whose at least 18, they automatically get the other $400 dollar diamond studded earring free!
You Wanna Rely On Some Bank Account Filling Power Networking Or Some Influential Bloggers Approval?
And for the guests of your VIP “goodwill ambassadors”, you’ll gladly offer them a free bracelet worth at least $100 dollars (or X), with any purchase they make that day!
Plus, when either of them enter your monthly free drawing, by using your in house laptop, to go directly to your mobile responsive, WordPress blogs, lead capture page, you’ll send them a (time sensitive) discount coupon, where they save 30% (or X%) off their next three purchases!
