“What the heck,” the frustrated business owner proclaimed. ” I can’t believe that my program didn’t work. I did EVERYTHING right. I had great copy, offered some cool benefits, and solved a problem for my market. And price was super low.”
“But mostly, I thought I used consciousness in this one. I prayed about it, connected to the soul of my prospective clients, and felt all the feelings of how amazing it would be to work with these people. “
She was near tears with this as she went on..
“Why? Did I do something wrong? How could people not buy? Maybe it’s an integrity issue with me, or maybe I have some hidden beliefs that made me screw this up.”
The wise marketing mentor listened patiently, and let her go on.
“I thought I knew how to work with the Law of Attraction, but clearly I missed something here.”
At this point, it was too much for the marketing mentor. She had to jump.
“Stop!” I hear that you are going down that road, and that stuff may be part of the problem, but do you want to know what the real issue is?”
Startled, the business owner was ready to hear what the problem was because she was so desperate for solutions.
“The real problem is that you had a marketing failure!”
“What?” Marketing failure? What do you mean” asked the business owner.
The mentor went on – “Think about it…you have not been connecting with your list regularly. You absolutely cannot expect your audience to buy from you without first establishing a relationship with them.”
“Really, it’s that simple? Can you tell me what to do to start establishing those connections?”
“Sure! Here is what you do:”
1. Consistently get in front of your list. Weekly is ideal. Send a newsletter or tip.
2. Share content that solves their problems.
3. Be personable and let them know personal details about you so they can connect.
4. Gradually begin offering them ways to partake of your services.
5. Start by offering small things – even free teleclasses/articles are fine at first.
6. Next move into offering low cost ways to have them sample and experience what you do.
7. Invite other people to promote you to their lists, and repeat the cycle with the new names.
“I can’t tell you how much better I feel! I will still do the LOA stuff because that’s who I am, but this gives me something I can work on. Now I have a plan! Thanks so much.”
The mentor smiled – feeling so happy that she could pass this information on, knowing that it will make all the difference in the world.
