If you own a small business there is no doubt you have been approached by advertising salesmen and women peddling ads in their media outlets. And it is amazing to me how many tell us that we should not expect results right away? Why not, that is what we are paying you for you dummy. What in the World are you selling; you show me charts, graphs and supposedly empirical proof of why your medium is where I should spend my money then ask for the check and tell me not to expect results right away? Go die scum!
The truth is that if their venue is truly that great then in fact you should see results right away. Look before I get into an argument with Marketing Consultants who write books and sell seminars and maybe even make kick backs from advertising referrals or before I am condemned by advertising “good looking” sales folks, let me pull rank. I am the founder of a franchise company, which set up units in 23-states, 450 cities and 110 major markets. And we always got noticeable results from our marketing and advertising immediately.

After working with thousands of salespeople, I have found that there are mistakes many of us commonly make. Once eliminated, we can boost our sales and earning power dramatically. Hypnotic Auctions: Just Tell Me About It So you're attempting to write your Hypnotic Auction listing and you don't know where to start. It is really not that difficult. In fact you do it probably every day. You do know how to talk, right? I mean if you had a pencil in your hand, I'm sure you could describe it to someone. Well for the most part that what you want to do with an auction listing as well. |
Now this is not to say that the longer you stay in one medium the better it works, that is a known fact, but at what cost? If you do not see immediate noticeable results there had better be a darn good reason or you need to ditch it and do something that does work. I ought to know, as we had royalty reductions and co-op advertising budgets for our franchisees and we did not grow our business by flushing good money after bad down the toilet of no returns. Consider all this in 2006.

Well consider if you will a franchising company where the founder built from a small company and set up franchises in 30 or more states. Next consider how they developed these markets and increased market share thru understand buying behaviors, customer desires, competition, regional demographics and trends. Such knowledge is not so available to political analysts and few of them have been to every state, much less every city in every DMA. Vending Machines Won't Make You Money! I know some of you running a vending business are thinking is this guy off his rocker? Vending machines do make money, they're a 24-hour employee that never sleeps, eats or asks for a raise. And to an extent you're all correct but has it ever occurred to you that the vending machine is only your tool of choice to earn your living? Construction workers use a hammer, truck drivers use their truck, and venders use their machines. So what's the point? The point is the type of machine your using isn't the be all end all of your business. The first vending machine sales person I ever encountered was selling a new design of Bulk candy machines. The kind you'd see in a department store or mall. He preached about the increase in sales his clients were seeing, but the cost of the machines was astronomical. I asked him a simple question about how a machine could increase sales, and voila I had found the hole in his pitch. It can't, if a machine has M&M's in it and accepts quarters either an older style or newer type of machine has the potential to close the deal. |
