Passionate Marketing: Tips for Creating Success

Take a moment to think about the word “marketing”. What thoughts come up for you? Do you wish it would go away? Do you start to think of yourself like a salesperson? Do you have self-limiting beliefs, like “ I can't market myself”? What feelings come up for you, do you get tense, do you get a knot in your stomach, or do your jaws clench? Old beliefs about marketing:



A "Closing Sript" Is A Sales Myth

Many of the closing techniques that are taught in today's selling workshops, audio and videotapes, training manuals or in books on the subject of selling are often ethically questionable. Methods like the “forced choice close” or the “misstated higher quantity close” even sound unethical. And, what about the “puppy dog” close, the “pity” close or the “alternate choice” close? There are literally hundreds of them. Not only is it difficult to remember a specific closing technique in the heat of a sales transaction, most of these closing levers actually fail to produce the desired result with today's sophisticated decision-makers. For the most part, these questionable methods were designed for an earlier age when “sales pitches” and “verbal persuasion” were the selling preference chosen by most sales or service industry professionals.

2-Survey your potential market beforehand so that you can establish what your clients are missing in their current needs as consumers. You will want to know what they want and give it to them.( may be they need special cleaning product or prefer more special services)

3-Learn what types of advertisements work best in your business’ locale. Sometimes commercials are best whereas other area get a better response by utilizing the local newspaper or pennysaver.( how about direct response marketing? )

4-Begin your promotion before you plan to start your cleaning business so that you can garner an interest in your services before you even start. Building up some interest ahead of time can help to ensure good contract. If some consumers are not satisfied with their current cleaning service they could be waiting for any opportunity to switch to a different cleaning company.

5-Promotions and discounts are a necessity to running a successful residential or commercial cleaning business. You must make sure that you are in a position to compete in this manner. Your business start-up will run a lot better if you begin with a special promotion.

6-The key to successful marketing will be your ability to meet the basic supply and demand of your community. Be sure to stay on top of this because these things are always changing. You can offer extra services that are not supplied by most of your competitors.
