Lesson #2: Practice “restraint in regard to immediate profits”
| |
| Friends and foes alike thought Wrigley Jr. had gone mad at times, giving away free products relentlessly as he was prone to do. But what other saw as irresponsible, Wrigley Jr. saw as a concerted effort to take a long-term view with regard to his business and its success. After all, he had already put in years of hard work learning everything he could under his father, and he was not about to throw in the towel any time soon. |

| There are many web sites that can be described as ‘brochure sites’. Literally the corporate brochure transcribed into web format. So why is this wrong? Simply, because readers approach print and web communication in different ways. If I have your brochure in my hand it is because I want to read it and have allocated time to read it. Whereas on the web I am in information hunter mode; if I don’t find what I want quickly, then in two clicks I am away. The following notes may help you craft original copy to keep the reader interested and motivated to take action. |

Look After Your Clients and They Will Look After You
| |
| Why are you in business? Hopefully you enjoy what you do, however is it because you want to make money so that you can have, be and do more in your life?
Who pays you? Your clients do and never forget that. Unfortunately many business owners do. They take your money and then vanish off the face of the earth. And if you do hear from them you know they are only trying to sell something or business is not going well. The silly thing is, if you look after the hand that feeds you, they will look after you.
Keep in regular contact with your clients, particularly the top 20% (both current and past) who have provided you with the most income.
Still keep in touch with the others via newsletters etc. However the top 20% of very special clients need extra attention.

But then again, how can we expect to grow our business without becoming one? The truth is…we can’t…so let’s bite the bullet and figure this “selling” thing out. |

Develop Your Positioning Statements
| |
| Your positioning statement is used in literature, your website, and other sales materials. It should capture how you are positioned versus your competitors -- your value proposition, the core of your brand, the critical thing that you stand for. You should have three different lengths; a 25 word , a 50 word and a 100 word statement. |

Vocabulary
| |
| Learn one new word each day. In less than five minutes per day you can get amazing results. The average American learns only twenty-five new words each year and actually has a speaking vocabulary of five hundred words. One new word per day will mean that in one year you will have a distinct advantage over most people with whom you are dealing; within five years you will have a colossal advantage, not because you know the words but because those words give you a breadth and depth of understanding that will enrich your life in every way. Plus there is more good news: Every word has several buddies; when you learn one new word you’ve just expanded your vocabulary by several more.

No - Your Number 1 Tool to Succeed

| Did you know that the word NO is the most important word in the English language for people who are determined to succeed?
We did several workshops on living your natural genius for larger corporations over the past few years. Every participant was asked for his or her opinion of the words YES and NO.
The results weren’t very surprising. Most people have positive associations with the word YES and negative associations with the word NO.
This is a very common perception, but does it really represent the truth?
If you ask me, NO it does not.
The ability to say NO to discouragement, distraction and other negative influences is essential for being successful, especially for smart people. |

How Emotional Words Play a DeadSerious Role in Google Ads Blog Post Titles
| |
| A while ago I came across a Google Adwords tip that sounded too good to be true. The tip said that there are specific “power words” that will dramatically boost the results of any pay-per-click ad.
What is a power word?
A power word is a word that illicits a powerful emotional response from the browser. It is a word so irresistible that it makes a user far more likely to first notice and then click on the Google pay-per-click ad.
We all know that words are powerful. After all, saying a few words of appreciation can do wonders to how people think and feel about you. At the same time, a few mean words can hurt far more than getting slapped in the face.
But can a single word really double the click-through-rate of pay-per-click ads on Google? |
