In the day-to-day operation of an online business we can sometimes lose sight of what we want to achieve as opposed to how we actually go about achieving it. For us to achieve our goals of financial independence and time freedom we need to have customers. Most peoples understanding of customer acquistion stops at this point.
One of the key factors in getting a customer to buy (literally) into what you’re selling is engagement. You must engage their minds, engage their desires, engage their dreams and their hearts. That being said the next and most obvious question is “How?”
| MoneyMoz recommended article: Exhibit Displays An exhibit is a form of entertainment, recreation, or competition in which items are showcased to reveal their best features. Exhibits are attended by a large audience and other exhibitors. Exhibits are the things, skills, or services presented and demonstrated. They may be paintings, computers, crafts, foods, products, services, amusement rides and games, and tests of strength and skills. It all depends on the type of exhibit. Exhibit types include art exhibitions, computer expos, film exhibitions, marketing exhibits, museum exhibits, science fairs, state fairs, trade fairs or shows, world exhibitions, traveling exhibits, and sport exhibits. A tradeshow is an exhibit where sellers and buyers meet together for commercial and marketing purposes. Tradeshow exhibits are the products and services showcased and demonstrated by vendors to current or potential customers. Each selling company rents a particular area in the exhibition hall where it establishes its tradeshow exhibit booth. Inside the booth are the displays, the company names and brands advertised, the product and/or service demonstrations, and sales transactions. Change Your Life Tax time always makes us reflect how what we have done. If that reflection leaves you with questions, then it is time to consider working for yourself. People who work for themselves look forward to tax time. Why? Because we plan all year to be rewarded come tax time. We have changed our lives from waiting to see what is going to happen to us, to pursuing accomplishments. During times of transition, it is not “business as usual”. If your company is being downsized or merged, your responsibilities take on a new dimension. That change moves you to a survival mentality. |
Part of any sales process is how the potential customer learns about your product and how valuable it can be to them. People learn in a variety of ways and approaching the wrong person with the wrong delivery method = zero results. Think back to a time when you dealt with a good sales person. Do you remember their body language? Their facial expressions? The volume and tone of their voice? A good sales person understands that to keep you focused on what they’re selling they also need to use visual expressions, hand gestures, positive tone and maintain eye contact. Any distraction can mean the end of the sales process.
For a customer to get the most out of your website, ebook or software you need to deliver the information to them in the most engaging possible way. Multiple forms of information delivery gives you the best possible chance of appealing to the widest audience.
So how do people learn and how can this benefit you and your business?
The three different types of learning:
Auditory - people with an auditory learning style have a strong appreciation of words and remember details easily. Emotive language and words that paint pictures and bring out the passion in your product will be most effective with this type of person. Both audio and video are very effective for auditory learners as is reading the material aloud.
| MoneyMoz recommended article: Generational Managing Within the corporate world we now see three different generation cultures working side-by-side. Progressive mangers are expected to understand these differences and make peace with the different mindsets and traits that come along each age group. In order to retain top talent and build solid working teams rewards and assignments should take into consideration the personal likes and dislikes of each of the groups. Culture plays an important part of successful management. For example, older executive managers have a different culture than their younger subordinates. Today there is four different cultures co-existing at once; traditionalists who were born before 1945, boomers who were born between 1946 and 1964, generation x born between 1965 and 1977, and finally generation Y born after 1977 (Sachs, 2006). |
Visual - presentation is critical to visual learners. Shabbily presented text, typos, bad grammar, bad graphics or anything moderately confusing to look at will cause the visual learner to lose interest almost immediately. Charts and diagrams will be remembered before reams of plain text. Watching somebody actually perform the steps involved can be very beneficial. Words can be used to paint a picture in the minds of a visual learner quite easily. If a visual learner were to read the words “pink elephant” they’d instantly picture a pink elephant in their minds. Some of you reading this have just experienced this.
Tactile/Kinesthetic - learn by doing or by by praticing what they’ve just been shown. You can spot a kinesthetic learner from their tendency to tap their feet or exhibit similar rapid leg movement whilst thinking or in learning mode. A kinesthetic learner is a hands-on learner so spreading practical demonstrations or exercises around your ebook or software product will really grab this type of learner. Kinesthetic or tactile learers need to be involved in the process for it to have any meaning to them.
What does this all mean? It means that online businesses are missing 66.6% of their potential market every time they produce a product that only targets one learning style. Auditory learners cannot wade through 300 pages of an ebook but would gladly listen to a 6 hour audio transcription of the same ebook. Visual learners need colourful charts, diagrams and pictures properly displayed to benefit from the experience. Kinesthetic learners need to be engaged quickly with practical exercises - the “put the ebook down and go and do this” type of activity. If not they’ll grow bored and move onto something else.
Is it possible to combine all these learning styles into one single product? Of course. You don’t need to develop an entirely different product for each learning style. Combining your ebook or software with some audio and video instruction modules or beginners guides would cover all the learning style bases. Variety of information delivery is the key.
In finishing ask yourself one question: What would a 66.6% increase in customer response do for your business?

| MoneyMoz recommended article: Conducting Human Resource Audits Every organization, whether it has one employee or 500 employees, should have an annual Human Resources Audit. An HR audit is similar to an annual health check. It is a means by which an organization can measure where it currently stands and determine what it has to accomplish to improve its HR functions. An audit involves systematically reviewing all aspects of the human resources functions. It also ensures that government regulations and company policies are being adhered to and your organization is not at risk for fines and penalties. An audit is not only a "check up" - you should be prepared to make the necessary changes identified by the audit. A Human Resource audit can help prevent costly lawsuits and fines by identifying weaknesses and correcting them. Who Should Conduct the Audit? 9 Copywriting Strategies for Network Marketers Have you ever struggled to write an ad to promote your products or recruit new distributors?
