Why working with a coach is so critical to your long term success!

(And Learn Specifically What You Need To Get Over The Hump!)

Have you ever wondered why you should seriously consider working with a coach ? Former President of Harvard Derek Bok, used to be fond of saying ” If you think quality education is expensive, try ignorance.”

Somehow that just flat out makes sense, don’t you agree? After all, doesn’t it make more sense on several levels, to hire someone that’s ‘been there and done that!”

As opposed to trying (in vain) to re-invent the wheel? Case in point, how many times have you tried to go somewhere for the first time, using a map? Then finally in frustration, you simply ask one of the local residents and poof, you’re on your way.

The same basic principles apply to hiring and working with a qualified coach/mentor. Because the really good ones (translated) the qualified ones will help speed up the exact results your looking for.

And they’ll shave a ton of time and frustration off your inevitable learning curve.

Why Working With A Coach Whose Qualified Saves You Both Time And Money!

Have you noticed some people (meaning) your specific target niche audience, claim they want a specific positive result, but are extremely hesitant to take the necessary steps to accomplish it.

(Like investing in a quality education and then applying what they learn asap!)

For ex; they somehow think it’s better to spend countless hours pretending to conduct do it yourself research, when in reality (depending) of course on how much retail value they place on their (irreplaceable time), their wasting tons of valuable time on trivial things, that won’t necessarily lead to more income!

For ex; if you currently value your time at $150 per hour (or more), then there is simply no justification for spending a total of  three hours per day checking your emails and interacting on Facebook.

Because that little foray into social media costs you a whopping $450 dollars ($150 PH x 3 hours = $450 dollars.)

On the other hand, suppose you hired expert SEO coach Sonny Lanorias (like) yours truly did, and as a direct result of his expert advice, my site -speed- now loads up to 800% faster than it did before implementing his timely advice!

Have you ever phoned a business and the phone went unanswered for seven rings or more? What did you do? Exactly. You quickly moved on.

And so it goes online cadets. If your site (for whatever) reasons, takes too long to load, your (totally) impatient online visitor will not stick around to find out why. Instead they’ll simply move on to one of your many online competitors.

And hopefully, you we’rent paying for that traffic, if so, you just wasted your hard earned dollars.Welcome to the real world.

How to improve retail sales for pennies on the dollar!

You’d obviously like to discover the little known and rarely secret of how to improve retail sales, correct? Because in order to safely and systematically grow your business by ,10-80% (or more) in the next six months or less, you need to  sell a whole of something, right?

Not so fast, remember, one of the major keys (and therefore) one of the major advantages you have over your typical small business entrepreneur is that you’ve come to realize that things are not always as they seem.

Especially when it comes to successfully selling retail (on or) offline.

Meaning- you don’t necessarily need to constantly add X amount of new first customers in order to watch your retail sales volume increase.

In fact, because you’ve already discovered in previous posts, that typically, a brand new first time customer (on average) will typically cost 500% more in up front expenses, you know your much better off selling more products and services to your existing customers and clients, correct?

How To Improve Retail Sales Without Breaking The Bank!

Just to build off that last (incredibly powerful) concept of selling to your existing customers, in  order to increase your  overall gross profits, while simultaneously -dramatically- decreasing your up front traditional out of pocket expenses.

Guess what? Some of your top offline local joint venture partners also have existing customers & clients, do they not?

And those retailers could really use a shot in the arm in order to help boost their sales, in any number of ways, irregardless of whether there is a recession going on are not.

Don’t you agree? Which means, why not offer your JV partners one of your best market tested (low front end) products or services to give to their best existing customers and clients that do one of the following three things.

A.) If they personally introduce you to another local business owner and or service provider, that you can approach about making this exact same JV arrangement with, you’ll allow them to 80-100% of that first sale.

Or you’ll offer some type of practical follow up service to any & all of their customer and client base for a reduced “lifetime discount.” For ex; if they sell your hardware to their customers (or) give it away  as a free upsell bonus to any of their customers that spend X amount of dollars.

Your company will provide “how to” training lessons, plus a future a “lifetime” discount of  25% ( or X%) off any and all additional products & services that they purchase from you, from now on.

Inexpensively price test so you’ll know for sure, which price point produces the most bang for your buck.

B.) If they agree to email (and or) send a snail mail postcard to their existing customer base, alerting them to one of next major sales events.

Think about how potentially powerful -and profitable- this one simple marketing concept might be.

Instead of you spending tons of cash upfront on outrageously expensive traditional advertising mediums like, local radio and or newspapers or even local TV promotions etc.

Your highly influential JV partners simply send a broadcast email to their valued subscribers and alert them to your sales events! boom!

Now a staggering 70-85% of your increase in sales, is now profit!

C.) This next concept is major, so (please) pay close attention.

Because you just might dramatically increase your bank account, with little or no increase in overhead.

You Can Dramatically Maximize Your Long Term Profits By Tapping Into The Business Relationships That You’ve Already Established!

Most of you are already familiar with the term “ad swaps” correct? If not (very simply) , here’s the way your typical “ad swaps” works.

You and another JV partner (and or) trusted business acquaintance, agree to send (either) emails and or (offline) sales letters or post cards to each others list and (mutually) share any upfront profits that are generated.

Well, what if you two decide to ‘ad swap” and or (JV) another way.

Because remember, there’s more than one way to take two numbers and add them up to get ten. Ex; 8 + 2, 9+1 etc.

So, what if you two agree to do the following or something similar. What if you agree to give them (or get) for them a link on a blog that has the exact type of highly targeted traffic that   realates to their product or service.

And in exchange they agree to put your display for a “free drawing” in their offline retail store(s) once every 90 days.

Or in another retailers store that they currently have an established relationship with.

You’ll list build like crazy (for peanuts) and create potential long term customers & clients for practically nothing.

Not to mention the fact that you can JV your list (ad swap) with other non competitive local entrepreneurs.

But you’ll also be inexpensively tapping (long term) into this brand new customers and clients personal networks. Because they can refer new customers & clients, correct?

They can also give you bank account filling testimonials, right?

And they can also upsell (upgrade) to much more expensive products & services.

Whether they be your products or services, and or your affiliate sales  etc. All in all, once you put a pencil to the long term numbers. Meaning- calculating your customers long term “lifetime customer value.”

Hopefully, you can see, this (my friend), is how to improve retail sales. No matter what your particular niche market is.

Introducing the Google search engine optimization blueprint.

  (Or Else Your Pages Have Virtually No Chance Of Ever Ranking

High In The Search Engines!)

Haven’t you ever wondered about,how the entire Google search engine optimization thing really works? Who hasn’t, right?

Not to mention the fact that their (so called) secret 200 separate algorithms (don’t ask), constantly change as well. This way (whenever) former Google insiders,decide to move on, they can’t take all of their insider secrets with them.

Because Google constantly keeps updating their secret criteria for evaluating and ranking web pages.

What The Google Search Engine Optimization Process And Your Local Employers Have In Common…

If your not currently an employer, then you probably work for someone else, correct? have you ever recommended a friend or relative for a job?

And depending on how strong your particular relationship is, the employer knows about how much weight to use to evaluate your recommendation.

Case in point, has one of your referrals ever been a complete bust for the employer? You can imagine what the employer will think of your next recommendation, correct?

Believe it or not, the same basic principles apply to Google and their search engine optimization (SEO) process.

For ex; when your site (for whatever) reasons, loads extremely slow, that’s like a really bad referral.

Because those eyeball get disgusted really quickly and if they leave the site before it loads, Google just lost a major opportunity to make money from their Pay Per Click (PPC) ads.

And that’s just one revenue killer.

Seven Little Known Rarely Revealed Secrets To Help Your Pages Rank High In The Search Engines!

1.) The thing you need to know is, how fast or slow is your site loading? A slow loading web page, is like a phone that goes unanswered for fifteen rings or more, in a place of business.Do yourself a major favor; got  gtmetrix.com and check your sites speed.

2.) Since 91% of all Internet users rely on one of the major search engines like Google, Yahoo & Bing etc.

But 83% of the users rely on Google first; to find whatever their looking for.

Which means, you had better focus on trying to gets Googles approval first and all the others second.

3.) Believe it or not, a staggering 94% of all the searchers, only view the first page of Googles listings.

Introducing the Google search engine optimization blueprint.

Which means, if your page (and or) site is not currently listed on the first page, you won’t receive any meaningful targeted traffic at all.

4.) The first three listing (per page) on Googles listings, receive 50% of all the targeted traffic! Those first three listings are often referred to as the platinum  triangle.

5.) If your page loads too slowly, Google (literally)  has no choice but to lower your pages rank. Because otherwise they lose eyeballs.

And those lost eyeballs (not only) cost Google (and the other) major search engines potential Pay Per Click (PPC) ad revenue, but it also hurts  Googles cred, because that online visitor not only holds that slow loading site against the webmaster, but (more importantly) they hold against Google as well.

6.) If you make the amateurish mistake of hiring some inexpensive source (like someone) you might be tempted to hire from an (otherwise) reputable source like fiverr.com.

And you pay them to create a ton of unnatural (meaning) really fast (low page) rank back links to your pages and or websites (blogs) etc.

And Google (as do) all the other major search engines frown on this type of practice. Google is very guarded about where they direct their traffic to.

Because each time a visitor searches online, they are drawing some conclusions about the search engine(s) that direct them there.

7.) Think of Google (and the) other major search engines, as information retailers, the same as an offline franchised burger place like McDonald s.

If McDonald s doesn’t pay attention to it’s ever changing customer base, then guess what, they won’t support them. And so it goes to with Google.

If Google or any other search engine fails  to deliver with a quality search experience a majority of the time. Ultimately over time they (snd you) will lose.

And that’s the seven things you gotta know about Google search engine optimization. No  matter what your particular niche is.

You can put the advantages of strategic alliances to work for you now!

As you previously discovered in Part one of this series about how to put the advantages of strategic alliances to work for you.

This type of low cost, high powered – secret underground marketing strategy, can and will help you systematically grow your business for (literally) pennies on the dollar.

And help you out promote your big buck major competitors, even if your just starting out and money is extremely scarce. No matter what your particular niche market happens to be.

Introducing Three More Incredibly Powerful Ways To Put The Advantages Of Strategic Alliances To Work For You! (And Make A Ton Of Money Doing It)

Here you will explore three more  incredibly powerful ways to systematically out promote your major competitors.

Because remember, more than likely your major competitors are simply spending tons of available cash, trying to create that very expensive, first time customer.

You on the other hand, are dramatically slashing your traditional ad cost by as much as 40-80%. Because your using these low cost, non techie (new) customer generating strategies.

1.) As you recall in strategy # two, in the Part one of this powerful series about putting the advantagers of strategic alliances to work for you. You partnered (joint ventured) with a local offline phone answering service.

You allowed them to strategically offer your three special reports that typically retail for $67 dollars, and give them away to any of their customers that sign for the special 30 day trial service.

And even if they (for) whatever reasons, decide to cancel the service, they still get to  keep the the three special reports valued at $67 dollars.

Here’s what you need to take away from this seemingly simple example.

That particular (mega proven) strategy is often referred to as “Risk Reversal,” because it allows you to remove all or most of the risk off any potential new customers shoulders and encorages them to proceed with a purchase.

Inexpensively test this proven strategy and watch your overall long term profits soar! Your takeaway here is, start using inexpensive (bank account) filling Risk Reversal” marketing strategies, just a majority of the six & seven figure earners do and watch your bottom line improve significantly.

And of course (it goes without saying), you can and should be systematically implementing this “RR” marketing strrategy not only in your business, but with as many non competing local businesses as possible.

As long as the two of you need the exact same customer base

2.) The next way you can inexpensively drill even deeper with this strategic alliance marketing strategy, is by a couple of local Real  Estate Investment (and or) small business clubs that meet once a month.

And let them do one of two things with your three special reports.

A.) Let them give your special reports away to any members that refer new members, maybe encourage a monthly contest and the member that refers the most new members that particular month, wins your three free special reports valued at $67 dollars.

B.) The other strategy you could inexpensively test, is to let the Investment club sell your reports (to help offset) their monthly expenses and keep 100% of the upfront profits.

They’ll systematically lower their monthly expenses and you’ll develop new potential long term customers and clients for pennies on the dollar.

3.) The next way you strategically out promote your big buck major competitors is by allowing local businesses that have outside sales reps, that do local telemarketing.

Let their sales reps strategically give away your three special reports to any local business owner (and or) local organization that sets an appointment.

They get to keep the reports, whether they do business with reps or not.

You combine these three incredibly powerful strategies along with the first you discovered in part one of these series about how to put the advantages of strategic alliances to work for you.

And your gross profits will improve (without) a doubt, by a bare bones minimum of 25%, in the next six months or less.
