You really can improve your sales process stages!
Who else wants to systematically improve your sales process stages, without hiring a big time Madison Avenue ad agency or a MBA Harvard graduate? Great. Because you are in exactly the right place.
Ladies & gents, for this particular post (let’s pretend) strictly for illustration purposes. That the dynamic Superstar country music heavyweight power couple, Faith Hill & Tim McGraw, hired yours truly on a performance based commission only basis, to help them increase both their on and offline profits, and (hopefully) create some long term passive back end residual income as well.
Introducing The Ultimate Beginners Guide To Effectively Improving Your Sales Process Stages.(Without Hiring A Fancy Harvard MBA!)
Since Faith & Tim are (already) savvy entrepreneurs, the first thing that will be pointed out to them is that anytime they can dramatically lower upfront out of pocket costs and or dramatically leverage a current asset that’s not being fully optimized, for little or no increase in upfront cost.
They can effectively increase their overall gross revenues, without actually earning more money! And they (and hopefully) you as well, should be up for that, correct?
In order to zero in on where these brain dead simple marketing strategies will take them. Let’s first focus (from a) marketing perspective on the way they (and sadly) a staggering 98% of their peers in the music business, earn money whenever they tour.
One More Powerful Reason Why You Simply Have To Proactively List Build!(On Or Offline!)
Let’s say Tim & Faith embark on an 18 month world tour.And strictly for the sake of example. Suppose they average 25,000 screaming fanatical fans at every stop (give or take).
Which means, after 18 months on the road. You can bet they’ll be exhausted and ready to get back home. They’ll basically be exposed to a grand total of (give or take) fanatics! (25K per live show x 3 shows per week x 72 months = 1,800,000 raging maniacs!
Now then, the first long term marketing hole, they’ll plug is to start offering each paid attendee, as soon as they enter the concert.The ticket booth attendants will hand them a special lead capture page business card that instructs the attendee to enter a free drawing! ( Oh goody.)
Because four incredibly lucky fans, one male, one female later on after the concert, and two people in attendance that night are going to win some incredibly cool cash prizes!
The other two winners will be drawn by Tim & Faith after the concert and from then on, each and every live show, four people as described earlier, will get the chance to win $10K each! Which means, every live, Faith & Tim are giving away at least $40k to four of the faithful!
Plus, every winner will also receive by mail a $100 dollar gas card, for the next six months! Just so, they’ll yap it up both on and offline about the free drawing!
Also,the two guaranteed winners that are chosen during each live concert . One male, one female, will win an additional $$2,000 dollars in gift cards! To be delivered to them by mail. The winners will be announced each night during the shows intermission. On the giant screen on stage.
Just think of the youtube footage and long term social media buzz this type of guerrilla marketing promotion will create.
And lets suppose that at least 85% of the total 1,800,000 decide to enter the free drawing. That means, when it’s all said and done, they’ll have a email list of paying customers that is a whopping 1,530,000 strong! (1,800,000 x .85% = 1,530,000 extremely valuable opt in subscribers.)
But of course the real benefit to Faith & Tim is, now they’ll be strategically capturing the email addresses of some of their most loyal customers. Power list building 101.
Turbo Boosting And Fully Monetizing Your Sales Process Stages And More!
Now then,here is Tim & Faiths chance to capture some serious passive back end residual income, that’s staring them in the face. They start periodically sending emails to their list offering an incredible seven hours of live concert footage that would normally retail for $39.95 per concert,
Now as a one time only “OTO” VIP members special offer. The fans on their VIP email list can purchase seven dynamic hours for just a one time only cost of just $67 dollars! That’s a real savings of 77% off the normal retail price!
Again, strictly for illustration purposes, lets say that 70% of their list of 1,530,000 take them up on this incredibly generous one time only offer.
That means that a (mere) 1,071,000 fanatics order. You can do the math yourself! ($67 each x 1,071,000 = enough!)
So Faith & Tim agree, that it’s found extra income, courtesy of yours truly! And as a result, they generously give yours truly a 25% performance based joint venture split!
(Remember, it’s the overall concept you have to grasp here, not the specific numbers!) Nor does it does it matter what your particular niche is.
