Three proven tips on sales and marketing strategies that ultimately lead to money! part three
Doesn’t it (flat out) make perfect sense that you emulate (and or model) as closely as you can the exact same proven tips on sales and marketing strategies, that enable the top six, seven and eight figure earners, to enjoy the type of consistent success that they do?
And speaking of modeling (as it applies) to emulating the best of the best. How did you arrive at your current prospecting, sales (and long term) strategic follow up strategy? And how did you arrive at doing those (vitally important three things?)
In other words, what exact process have you followed to this point, to arrive at exactly where you are now? And how’s it working for you? Does it need to be improved? Or is your process (in your humble opinion) as good as it’s ever going to get?
How Did You Conclude That Your Current Tips On Sales And Marketing Strategies…
(Were And Are The Right Course Of Action For You?)
Just to be crystal clear here: Are you saying?
A.) That your current advertising/marketing and or promotional tactics and strategies, don’t need any type of constructive marketing overall? Even though (whether) you’ll admit it or not, you probably haven’t systematically tested and tracked any of it!
B.) Your current initial front end sales funnel (whether) you currently break even or not, couldn’t use any type of proven money making tweaking! (Because it’s currently based on a proven blueprint put forth by a perpetual six, seven or eight figure earner!
C.) And you current back end sales funnel systematically adds an additional 25% to your long term profits, for pennies on the dollar! Plus, it has all the necessary (long term) money making bells & whistles it will ever need. Really?
If not, then perhaps it might be in your best interest to have closer look.
Perhaps It’s Your Thinking Regarding Applying Proven Tips On Sales And Marketing Strategies That Might Need To Be Adjusted!
Case in point: suppose your run a fairly successful (offline) local retail outlet that specializes in outdoor living family activities, such as archery, hunting, fishing and mountain climbing etc.
And one of your top local offline joint venture partners is a mid sized appliance retailer.Here’s an incredibly “brain dead” simple marketing strategy you can use, that will benefit both of you for years and years to come.
You approach your retail appliance JV partner about (creatively) purchasing (at least two) of their best selling top of the line outdoor barbecue grills. (Like maybe the “American Outdoor Grill 36 NC Stainless Steel 62″ Portable Gas Grill”, that currently retails for a mere $2,817.90. (Google it!)
And here’s (just) one incredibly powerful way that you might creatively finance it, in order to purchase it. Create an outrageously huge in store sign and place it (smack dab) in the middle of your store!
And hold a raffle (that begins) at the beginning of the traditional outdoor grilling season, and have it conclude as you approach the early fall.
Ask for ten percent of the total (current) retail price, as your raffle entry fee. So in this particular case, that means $281.79 (or $282 dollars) a practical matter.($2,817.90 x.10% = $281.79, rounded up to $282 dollars.)
So you only need ten people to pay the raffle entrance fee of just $282 dollars just to creatively finance your entire marketing campaign! Because remember, more than likely, your retail appliance JV partner will be more than willing to actually sell you the grill for it’s actual cost, which might only be $700 dollars give or take.
In which case, you’d only need three people to enter your raffle (with it’s “guaranteed” winner, to be announced at the end of the outdoor barbecue grilling season. With just three entrants paying $282 apiece, you actually gross a net profit! ($282 x 3 = $846 – the $700 dollars (or X) to buy the grill at cost outright, equals a $146 dollar gross profit!
(Note; the following marketing example is strictly for conceptual marketing illustration purposes only!) Fast forward, and let’s say that 47 of the faithful (that would be your valued customer base) took the plunge and paid the $282 dollar raffle entry fee.
That means (unless) you know a different type of math! Your creative raffle marketing concept raised an additional $13,254 dollars! ($282 x 47 raffle participants = $13,254 dollars.)
The first thing you do is purchase at least two of the state of the art grills at your JV partners actual cost. Which means, you’ll deduct $1,400 dollars out of your gross profits. Because each grill actually cost your JV partner $700 dollars each, remember?
And that still leaves you with $11,854 big ones to market with! ($13,254 – $1,400 = $11,854.) Watch how you parlay this into some extremely large profit margins in part four! Stay tuned! And see you in part four! Until then!
