Lesson #4: Never Underestimate the Power of Research
| |
| Ogilvy came from a background in research; in his early years he had worked for the world-renowned George Gallup Audience Research Institute, which he later called “the luckiest break of my life.” It was at Gallup that Ogilvy learned about research and its importance in advertising. In fact, research became so central to Ogilvy’s philosophy of creating advertising that when he opened his own agency in 1952, Ogilvy billed himself as Research Director. |

Guerrilla Marketing as Sex
| |
| The whole idea of guerrilla marketing is to transform cold prospects into
consenting partners. As with superb sex, marketers shouldn't be in a

without proper wooing, without knowing exactly what turns on the prospect. |

Use Customer Testimonials to Increase Web Sales
| |
| I've got to warn you – you're about to read about the pot calling the kettle black. That's because with each and every coaching client I have, I always discuss the creation of a testimonial capturing system. And yet I am woefully inept at using testimonials myself. Because I have non-disclosure agreements with most of my clients, I'm often hesitant to ask for testimonials. But I'm leaving a huge opportunity on the table. |

RADAR: A DEEPER LOOK
| |
| Salespeople are faced with many challenges - getting in the door, overcoming objections and the prospects fear of economic uncertainty.

Be a Sales Rock Star: Something for Nothing
| |
| When was the last time you gave a client something for nothing? If such a generous thought hasn’t crossed your mind in a while, you may be missing out on an opportunity to do a good deed while staying on the person’s radar. The simple act of giving may even increase the value of your business. What’s even more amazing is that some of the most valuable gifts and services are intangible, so they won’t cost you a penny. Providing a small, added service at the right time will set you apart in your client’s mind.

Where Eagles Dare
| |
| As Rahm Emanuel said, “a crisis is a terrible thing to waste”. It forces our brains to think in ways, good times just don’t compel it to do. How do you respond in a crisis? What do swirling clouds of uncertainty and volatile markets spark in your thinking? What does pressure trigger in the way you process what is going on and what your options are? How will you handle the current storm and make the best of what is? |

Hey - Are Your Sales And Marketing Materials Fridge Worthy?
| |
| When my friends come over to my house, the first place they head to is the fridge.
And nooooo - it isn't for the food either! (although I AM a fabulous cook)
They are STARING at all the cool quotes, cards, offers and important things or people that I want to remember and have in my radar. All attached with a fabulous magnet of course.
(REALLY - it's a position of honor!)
And people LOVE looking at it!
I often advise my clients that ANY sales and marketing materials they're creating had better be FRIDGE WORTHY. (or puh-lease - DON'T show them to me)

Being authentic: How can you be who you really are?
| |
| Finding who you really are, your true identity as a person, is a key need that people are searching for now, particularly leaders in organisations. Today, if leaders are to bring people with them they need to create resonance, and this is achieved through authenticity.
