DDT: Do, Don''t Think. Just market
Copyright (c) 2002 by Angela Booth
«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»
You see funny things when you''re
walking your dog. A couple of
summers ago, late every Sunday afternoon, I''d be out walking my
dog and I''d look up to see a sky-writer.
Puffs and streaks of white smoke against
a blue sky spelled out
the name of a local telecommunications company. Every Sunday, for
months.
I wondered what it was costing them, and
whether they were
getting results.
Guess not. That winter, the telecom went
bust in spectacular
fashion.
Sky-writing''s one way to market
your business, but what''s the
best way? The short answer is that there''s no best way. Nothing
works all the time. Some things work sometimes. Many things work
most times. Constant marketing works all the time.
So here are my two rules of marketing:
* it doesn''t matter what you do, just
do some marketing every
day; and
* watch your mental images, because your
images control your
emotions, and your emotions determine how much energy you''ll put
into marketing.
=> It doesn''t matter how you market
That''s a lie. It does matter. If your marketing
efforts consist
of expensive advertising and gimmicks like sky-writing, you''d
better have deep pockets.
Ideally, you''ll use a mix of paid and free
(except for your time,
which is in no way free) marketing tools.
I''m not going to give you a long list of
marketing tools. You can
use everything from sky-writing to sticking magnetic letters onto
your car.
What''s important is that you put major time into marketing each
day. This is because the results of your marketing take time to
kick in.
Let''s say that you start by sending out a couple
of hundred
direct mail letters each week. You combine that with making 30
telemarketing calls to businesses each day.
You''re dogged about this. You don''t think about
it too much, you
just go ahead and do it, because you want your business to be a
success, and it is a business, it''s not a hobby.
You plod on. Your business builds. You add more
marketing tools. A small ad in the classifieds section of your daily
paper. You write a talk, full of information for other business
owners. You
call local business groups and give your free talk. You network
at these gatherings: you make friends, and hand out business
cards.
What''s the result? Hey --- before you know it---
your business is
whizzing along. What did it? Constant, easy-does-it, don''t-think-
about-it-just-do-it marketing.
=> Watch your mental images
Who''s in your head? Two of you. Your brain has
two halves, so
you''re two people. Truly. There''s the left brain analytical you,
and the right brain creative you.
Your right brain has charge of your subconscious
mind. And if you sabotage yourself, your subconscious is what''s
doing it.
I found writing exhausting for years. Even
thinking about writing
made me tired. I dieted, started new exercise programs, gulped
vitamin pills, got more sleep. Didn''t work. I''d finish a few
hours of writing completely worn out.
Then an image formed in my mind. The image of a
mountain climber, toiling up the rocky slope of a steep, ice-covered
mountain.
Numb fingers. Aching legs. Deep crevasses on
either side of me.
That explained the exhaustion. My subconscious
equated writing
with mountain climbing.
So I changed my image of my writer-self. My new
image is of a
seed-sower, walking along the rows of a tilled field. The field
has black, rich soil. I scatter handfuls of seeds from a bag as I
stroll along in the warm sun.
This new image makes me feel pleasantly relaxed.
It works. Writing no longer makes me tired. I''m
just ambling
along, scattering seeds.
If you find marketing difficult, ask yourself
what image you''re
holding of marketing.
We all form images via our right brain. The left
brain suppresses
them (this takes energy) or puts them into words.
If you ask yourself, you will get an image. If
the image is
unproductive, like my mountaineer, change it.
So there you have it. Marketing in a nutshell.
Only two things to
monitor: how often you market, and whether you''re sabotaging
yourself.
Now stop reading and go market your business!

HOT BIZ TIP
_____________________
Pointers On Email
Don't be rude:
When we were young, most of us were taught the basics of
good manners, like saying 'please' and 'thank you'. So why
should an email message be any different?
And make sure you sign it with your
name. Remaining
anonymous does not gain respect.
Be Professional:
Don't use lots of emoticoms when writing to someone you
don't know. LOL and IMHO may be meaningless to many
people.
Use a spell checker:
Most email software has a built in spell checker. The odd
spelling error may be overlooked by most people, but an email
filled with typos creates a bad impression. So use it. Even
though it may mean spending a few seconds longer before
sending it off.
Check your Tone of Voice:
It is very easy to come across as rude and demanding in an
email. Even if that's not your intention. So read your message
before sending it off, and try to read it as your recipient
would. Remember, she may not know you.
Be Precise:
Keep your message short and to the point by all means. But
ensure you have given all the information your recipient needs
to act on your query. Especially when writing to a support
desk.
Ask before sending an attachment:
Many people - especially those in business, will *never* open
an attachment because of the risk of a virus infection. If it's
important to send an attachment, write first for permission to
do so. Even then, some will refuse to accept it - unless they
know you extremely well.
********************
Those techies sure are clever. Of course they don't always
make it clear how you use all their techie stuff. Which is just
as well, or The Newbie Club wouldn't exist:-)
