No Socks Day: An Excuse to Prospect?
| |
| I’m always looking for a new reason to connect with a prospect that hasn’t yet responded to my emails.
Clearly triggering events are the number one message to center on, but what if they haven’t responded? After 3 or 4 emails I find myself trying to establish my personality so the contact will begin to feel as if he knows me and want to reply.
However, that’s hard if all I ever talk about are issues they might be facing and how I can help. It starts to sound repetitious and boring. If I don’t mix it up a bit, my email will hit the contact’s delete barrier before it’s ever opened!

| |
| Some sellers fail miserably when trying to gain access to a company executive.

Effective Marketing Building Block #1 - Have Something Good to Say
| |
| Before spending a dime on any form of marketing, a company first needs to be crystal clear on what makes it worthy of the customer’s business. This may sound like a “messaging” issue but it’s not. At its core, it’s an issue of business and marketing strategy.
So what does it mean to “have something good to say” and how do you get there?
Having something good to say really means that you’ve understood your customer at a very deep level, and have aligned everything about the way you do business to satisfy or exceed the needs and expectations of your customers. This goes well beyond the traditional “features, advantages, benefits” of your products or services. |

Are You a Problem Solver or a Problem Blamer?
| |
| I fly a decent amount and have had a lot of good and a lot of bad experiences with the airlines. The biggest issue I have with the airlines, especially my carrier of choice, is not that they make mistakes. I don’t expect any business to be perfect. At issue is how they deal with problems. Too often, their first reaction is to put the problem back with me. The protocol seems to be to assume first that the customer is wrong (blame), and take responsibility much later, if ever. How do you react when there is a problem with your product or service? |
