competition

Do you respond to people that contact you in business?

BUSINESS TIP:
RESPOND to people that contact you! (this can apply to any type business)
 
The last two weeks, I contacted 5 different guys that were recommended to me for our AC unit…..
— 3 did NOT even respond!!!!
— 1 responded but said he was too busy
— 1 responded, apologized for not being able to come that day, but told me he could come the next, had me fixed super short time and coming back to finish today.
 
TIPS
— You want to be in business and stay in business, at least respond and reply to people trying to give you business. Most will understand if you are busy, that is a good thing right? But at least respond and be respectful.
— When you do respond, if you are busy, let them know when you could come, possibly, and if you can’t, maybe even offer to refer them to someone else in your network you trust….I have lots of people in my business that do what i do, if I cannot do a website, a graphic, speak at an event due to a conflict, etc — I offer a recommendation to someone in my network that does the same, to help them for someone I trust, and be a referral source for my people. (not just leave them hanging) But people in your industry are not competition, they can be great referral sources – use each other and share business w those you know, like and trust. There is abundance in the world, treat it that way, and it comes back to you 🙂
— Provide excellent service. When this guy came, he told me it would take a bit to be able to cool and fix, but gave me ideas that were free and easy to do, and a fast fix, and then he’d be back the next day to finish what he needed to do.

How to triple your word of mouth referrals

It’s difficult, rather almost impossible, to stay top of mind with your customers these days.

Your competition is nipping at your heels, your customers have your competition at their finger tips with technology.

So the question your asking yourself right now is…

How do I stay of mind?

Well I’m glad you asked…it’s imperative you…

#1. Stand out from your competition
#2 Stay top of mind

Most entrepreneurs spend countless hours exhausting time trying to find new leads thru…

networking
trade shows

It’s been said “It’s easier to keep a customer than to find a new one” and you need a “stay top of mind strategy” ASAP!

This is where Relationship Marketing comes in, and I’m not talking about email blasts.

Let’s face it emails work somewhat, but customers are tired of emails, especially advertising and marketing emails.

This week we feature Life Purpose Coach Matt Scherb from Oakville, Ontario.

He discusses how he implemented a stay top of mind strategy, using Relationship Marketing. By using this strategy he was able to generate the majority of his business through word of mouth referrals.”

Matt says “Inside of 30 days, I found that the referrals I was receiving by sending cards, basically sending a birthday card or a thank you card, tripled my referrals very rapidly.”

Click here to continue on to learn how to triple your word of mouth referrals…this could be the most valuable time spent on your business…

Who are you? Not what do you do, or what do you sell, but WHO ARE YOU? Do you know? Do you want to know?

Who are you? Not what do you do, or what do you sell, but WHO ARE YOU? Do you know? Do you want to know?

They say “people buy people, not websites” “people buy people, not products” — right? So, why do you want people to *buy you*?

What are YOU offering that others that sell the same product/service you do, don’t offer?

HOW are you different from your competition?

Or HOW can you ENHANCE the marketplace to even HELP your competition? (why help them? because what goes around comes around, and the more you help others, the more it WILL come back to you) It is a *Universal Law* and God made our Universe 🙂

What are you doing in building your *personal brand*? Internally and Externally – it is who you have become or are becoming, because of *your story* — so it is unique to you, not anyone else, because you are the only one that has lived or is living your story.

You want to be your authentic and expressive self, that when you speak, and move, it transfers to others, your belief, your value, your story, your *you*……and that is how you will *connect* with others.
