So Who Else Definitely Wants To Know The Really Simple Mind Shift Your Cash Strapped Small Business And Or Service Definitely Needs To Have!

You need to systematically figure out, how to from the pursuer, to the pursued.
Or to borrow, successful MLM terms. “How to” go from the hunter, to the hunted.

No longer will you try and entice totally cold stranger prospects, the same non successful way you used to.You will learn how to apply, the basic proven principles, of direct response, problem solving marketing.
Effective Direct Response Marketing Principles Convert Your Marketing And Or Promotional Campaigns Into Problem Solving Lead Magnets!
Case in point, let’s say you’re a startup, CFP (Certified Financial Planner), and or an up and coming CPA (Certified Public Accountant.)
Instead of simply, aggressively pursuing any person with a job and a pulse, about either doing their personal and or business taxes, estate planning and or creating and or updating their wills etc. 😀
Your typical, paid direct response, problem solving type of advertisement/promotion, will offer, a free lead magnet of some kind, where your free list building information, will provide a viable solution, to one of your ideal prospects, most burning and nagging issues and or problems etc.
For ex; let’s suppose you’re an up and coming CPA, and you decide to target, the blossoming, new, first time real estate investor market.
So you may A/B split test, offering two, free seven page special reports, ebooks and or DVD’s etc.
Or maybe online, you offer a free, 90 minute, exclusive webinar recording, where your free, opt in email building info reveals the following.

You could very easily, inexpensively A/B split test, your free drawing marketing approach, versus offering some specific, market tested, free problem solving, list building, digital information product and or service.

First of all, let’s be crystal clear here. It’s very possible, neither approach will succeed, in enticing your target audience into action.Hey, not all of your pro-active marketing strategies and or tactics, will work.

This is why, you want to systematically A/B split test certain variables, as often and as intricately as you can.
Because once you discover which approach, if any, actually produces the most bang for your buck, then you roll the winner out big time.
