Ready to create an effective sales bonus plan?

Have you ever based a buying decision based on the sales bonus that was being offered at the time? In fact, have you ever taken a serious look at any  particular sales proposition (on or) offline, and thought to yourself, these bonuses really look good?

And as a direct result, you purchased the main product or service, strictly based on one or more of the totally excellent free bonuses. That my friend, is your sales bonus plan at work.

Practically every bodies done it right?

Or what about this; how many times over the years have you taken advantage of one of your favorite local pizza shops (famous) lunch time specials?

You know, the offer where you get a discounted price on both the pizza and a small or medium size soda.

Is that not one a proven form of sales bonus? Used by practically successful every business person at some point.

Of course it is. So hopefully, you realize that strategically using bonuses, is without a doubt, a proven way to systematically increase your sales.

How To Use A Simple Sales Bonus Plan To Increase Your Profits By At Least 25% Right Now!

Has this ever personally happened to you; or have you ever heard of it happening to someone you know. You go look at two houses for sales.

Both are in excellent neighborhoods, but the owners of house (A), will reduce your closing cost by 75%, provided you can make a quality decision within the next seven days or less!

And this 75% off, actually represents, $4,300 dollars in traditional closing costs! That might prove to be a sales bonus plan you simply cannot resist.

Would you not agree? Of course (even though)  you don’t traditionally think of a sales  bonus being applied as a discount.

When you get right down to it, who really cares, how you save, as long as you save! Correct?

Or what about this pretty regular occurrence; you go to look at two particular apartments (and or) condo’s that your interested in leasing.

And one of the apartment owners is offering free (or) an extremely reduced price on cable TV for the next six – twelve months!

Provided you sign a years lease within the next five business days ( or X amount of  business days) or less! Again, would that not proven to be an offer some prospective tenant (s) will simply be unable to resist?

So without a doubt, a powerful sales bonus plan is a simply a must, no matter what your particular niche is, don’t you agree?

Now then; let’s now turn your attention to one of the most powerful, yet little known ways for the typical cash starved small business owner (and or) service provider, to quickly increase their bottom line profits by at least 25% or more.

In the next 90 days or less! Especially if your just starting out and your working on a shoestring budget!

How To Use Low Cost High Powered Risk Reversal Marketing To Explode Your Sales In The Next 90 Days Or Less!

This next proven form of sales bonus plan works extremely well for struggling cash starved service providers, especially if your just starting out.

And you really need a mega proven way to separate yourself from your major competitors! Especially when you don’t have extremely deep pockets yet! And there’s a nagging recession lingering!

See if this next sample offer (that by the way) is being used, strictly for illustration purposes.(But it’s done all the time!)

How many times have you seen an offer like this (on or) offline. A paid membership site offers you a free or (extremely limited) time ‘risk free’ trial offer of some kind.

And it basically goes something like this; for just $14 dollars (or less!) You get unlimited access to the entire membership  site, and after 14-30 days, then you automatically get upgraded to a full fledged paying member.

And you typically pay anywhere from $27-$97 dollars per month (or more!)  But here’s the real marketing kicker. So pay close attention here!

Typically, the really good paid membership sites, will also offer (anywhere) from $297 -$1,877 dollars worth of their best market tested powerful  free  (fast action)digital information bonus products, if you decide to join anytime before your trial period ends!

Sound familiar? Here’s where the savvy (on or) offline information (and or) service providers, often separate themselves from their clueless competitors.

This Is How You Tip The Scales In Your Favor!

They will inform you that, if whatever reasons , you decide to cancel your paid membership! You automatically get a rebate on all unused balanced time!

Plus, all of the $297 -$1,8,77 dollars worth of powerful  (market tested) free information bonus products, are yours to keep! And that’s why this powerful (mega proven), little known and rarely used marketing strategy, is often referred to as “Risk Reversal!”

Because it takes all of the usual perceived risk and places it squarely on the shoulders of the business owner(s!)

Think about how potentially powerful this one little known marketing (and rarely used) concept might be! And the potential long term positive effect it could have on your business right now!

You placed this type of offer in front of the typical (already skeptical) consumer and you major competitor, doesn’t have any type of competitive ( “Risk Reversal”) offer.

Which one do you think the majority of the consumers will take advantage of? Which one would you take advantage of?

Of course your asking, where are you supposed to get these powerful free market tested bonuses from?

Why none other than your top joint venture partners of course!  Who else? They’ll love the chance to get major free exposure for pennies on the dollar!

Wouldn’t you? So they’ll be more than happy to strategically donate some of their best lower end products or services, in exchange for the chance  of inexpensively getting in front of a semi qualified audience!

Doesn’t this sound like the type of long term sales bonus plan that should be a part of current marketing mix?

Are you systematically using proven systems of asking for referrals?

Let’s be honest here; do you have a problem  consistently asking for referrals?  It can be awkward at times, can it not?

All the more reasons why you should be using systems, as opposed to constantly trying to do it by personally approaching your best customers and clients.

Most cash starved struggling small  business owners and service providers, often personally drop the ball, when it comes to consistently asking for referrals.

It can be slightly uncomfortable, especially when your not really the sales pro type of personality.

Which means whenever you can, try to put a proven referral generating system in place, that puts most (if not) all of the heavy lifting on the system.

With that in mine, here are three incredibly simple ways to start systematically generating referrals, for pennies on the dollar.

Introducing Three Incredibly Simple Ways Of Asking For Referrals!(Without You Having To Ask Personally!)

By strategically using systems (and not) strictly relying on your personality to generate referrals, you’ll discover to your surprise, that by  properly implementing a proven referral system, most of the awkwardness goes away.

1.) One of the first low cost non techie marketing strategies you might seriously consider trying to set up, in order to consistently generate referrals.

Wherever you currently get your hair done (meaning) either your barbershop and or hair salon, they can potentially be an incredible (ongoing) source for consistently generating referrals for your business, product or service.

Of course, this particular strategy only applies if  your particular industry doesn’t prohibit such a practice.

Your personal barber and or hair dresser has already established an ongoing relationship with their particular customer base.  And since those paying customers already trust them, you can and should be leveraging their relationship with their  customer base.

There are a couple of simple ways you might strategically work their customer base.

Asking  For Referrals Doesn’t Have To Mean You Personally Do It!

For ex: suppose you sell upscale women-s clothes and rather expensive hand bags etc. What if you arrange to showcase one of your hand bags in your hairstylists salon. Where other women, (potential first time customers) will most certainly take notice!

And that’s when your hair stylist can pass out your special-direct response- type business cards, which refers the first time visitor (lead) to your opt in lead capture page, where they can enter your free monthly drawing!

The other thing you can do (of course) is give your hairstylist one of your best selling, most expensive hand bags, that they can and certainly will take everywhere they go! Right?

And whenever someone wants to know where they got it from, your stylist simply hands them one of your 20% (or X%) off “new customer only” VIP discount cards. And you give the hair stylist a 5% -10% credit off, towards any future purchases.

This type of proven way of asking for referrals, really doesn’t involve you asking anyone for anything personally, don’t you agree?

(Yet you still reap the enormous benefits of a personal endorsement from somebody that has the actual respect of target niche market!)

2.) The next (unconventional way) that you go about systematically asking for referrals, is by finding yourself a rather popular female fixture (or two) somewhere in one of the many local offices of fun loving state workers!

Her (or their) job is to prominently display (either) one of your best selling hand bags or by frequently showcasing one of your best selling women’s perfumes and or earrings!

They’ll get lots of compliments, and more importantly, inquiring minds will definitely want to know where they can get their goodies too?

That’s why you tell the office worker to simply pass out one of your “tell a friend” new customer only VIP discount cards!

Somewhere on the bottom, you leave a space where the office worker can hand write their name, that way they get a 5%-10% credit, each month.

3.) And finally… Find a local company that consistently sponsors fashion shows. Have the sponsors (test) by giving away (either) one of your “Bring a friend” VIP discount coupons, or a small 16 oz. mini sample of  some of your best selling perfumes, for paying by cash or credit card!

In other words, have the sponsors ethically bribe their best customers for paying by either credit cards or cash!

These are three incredibly simple ways of you asking for referrals,  because remember, using these particular strategies, you won’t actually be personally asking for referrals at all.

Are really serious about creating customer loyalty?

   (Especially When Your Competition is Fierce And There’s A Nagging Recession Going On!)

As you previously discovered in part one of this series about effectively creating customer loyalty.

You can actually incrementally boost your bottom line for literally pennies on the dollar.

And the main reason being; instead of you copying your major competitors and constantly chasing after new first time customers or clients, that are outrageously expensive.

Because of the traditional large upfront expenditure, this process normally entails.

Instead, like any serious, (savvy) entrepreneur you can concentrate on getting your best customers and clients to consistently do one of three things: Continue reading
