“Ignoring People”

iStock_000005631616Medium

Never use “Ignoring People” as a way to say no to their request or offer. This will build you a reputation of being low class, non professional and a flake.  Now none of these may be true of you but those labels will stick on you like super glue to ceramic if you “Ignore” peoples calls texts, and or emails because you don’t know how to tactfully say “No Thank”.  You have every right to say yes or no to whatever anyone asks of you but in the world of business and life you must learn the “Art and Skill” of knowing when and how to say no.

The easiest way and most used way to say no by non professionals is too “Ignore” the follow up from people.  But professionals use the skill of saying no thank you that not only strengthens the relationship but takes it to the next level of increase for both parties.  This is just one skill we teach all our Mentorship Students.  Once you get the reputation that you respond to every follow up request you will never have to worry about customers or clients, business or income because you will have more than you can use for the rest of your life.

Professionals always say “Yes” even when their response or reply is “No Thank You”.

If you are ever going to “Ignore People” the professional way to do it is contact that person and thank them for being part of your network but due to current conditions you are now deleting them from your circle.  The good news is, if you are a Professional before you ever have to come to that state they will have already dropped you, deleted you and took you off of their Facebook page.  We get lots of people who we know de-friend us off their facebook due to our posts. 100% of them are broke, bitter, and angry and can’t deal with all this success talk.

Never get so low in life that it makes you bitter toward people.  We all struggle with the issues of life, we all have challenges but we can choose to be “Bitter” or choose to get “Better”.

As much as I would like to personally sit down with you and chat about your goals and dreams over a fresh Latte I know that is impossible due to time and distance. However, let me do the next best thing, I will ship you a gourmet Latte along with a questionnaire about your business goals and dreams and you can send that back to me and I will respond with some ideas.  Just send me your shipping address and I will get you the gourmet coffee and questionnaire right out to you.

Raise Your “Personal Standards”

people

Raise your “Personal Standards” if you want to excel in life, business, income and in your chosen profession.  Professionals do not work unprofessionally, sloppy, off the cuff, shoot from the hip or haphazardly. Professionals have a higher standard of integrity, protocol and humbleness (self control).  There is nothing more pathetic than seeing a professional athletic that is paid millions of dollars a year act “unprofessional on the field”.  Professionals constantly work towards the 8 point professional standard.

Professionals work to…

  1. Improve themselves
  2. Improve their mission
  3. Improve their values
  4. Improve their service
  5. Improve their performance
  6. Improve their contribution
  7. Improve their thinking
  8. Improve their relationships

This is why professionals earn professional incomes.  Go Pro, it will give you everything you need and most of what you want.

Your Business Solution

As you well know I am a big fan of lead generating marketing and lead generating products.  That is giving away value driven products to attract customers and clients to you instead of you trying to track them down.  Most know my personal story how I built a financial empire by simply giving books away and attracted more customers in a month than most business attract in a year.

In this economy business professionals around the world are asking me what kind of value product they could build to give away to attract customers that was low cost.  For many years I never thought high quality value could be equated with low cost production and for many years it was not.

Until I found a $99.00 solution!  Value is what attracts future clients to you, and value is what makes people do business with you.

Value is when you can bring inspiration, solutions, motivation and ideas
into the life of people and when you do it as a gift that becomes an
Attraction Magnet.

Right now you can be featured on our Power of Mentorship Interview Show along with Brian Tracy, Bob Proctor, Les Brown, Marie Diamond, Vic Johnson and many others where we do an audio interview with you and your business, we add the featured International Leaders into the show and create a Master CD for you that now becomes your Value Driven Lead Generating Product you give away in the marketplace.

Here is an Interview we just did for Bestselling Author John Milton Fogg,
whose book The Greatest Networker in the World has sold more than 2 million copies.

The Latte Master…

When it comes to staying ahead of our sinking economy and becoming one of the top income earners in your industry I have always shared that your top ingredient is that you have to set yourself apart from your lattecompetition.  If you want a technical name for this it is called your Unique Selling Proposition (USP) or Unique Selling Position.  You have to ask yourself continually “What am I doing to make myself unique and different in the marketplace?” “What makes me stand out, get noticed but most importantly get remembered?”

If you want to have the competitive slight edge that is a must requirement to win in business and qualify you for high income earnings, your ability to make yourself different is the secret ingredient.  Many professionals use gifts as a way of customer or prospect leverage and although this method is effective it can be very risky and hard to get it just right.  Get it wrong and the outcome can be disastrous, get it extremely wrong and you could end up in the “Poky” having the gift being termed an illegal bribe.

What do I recommend as a nice appropriate gift for a customer or a prospect that is both classy and appropriate? If it is a prospect that I am dealing with I will send over a cup of the world’s richest and highest quality latte.  One that is rich in aroma and taste and I use one that is extremely healthy as well with the healing herb called “Ganoderma”.  I include a nice letter explaining that there is no better way to build relationships than to do The Power of Mentorship Booksit over a delicious Latte!

If I am dealing with a high dollar customer I will send them an entire box of this gourmet coffee.  It is important to use a gift that is not only appropriate but one that will blow the socks (and shorts) off the receiver.  Therefore, I find out if they prefer a Latte, a Gourmet Hot Chocolate or Organic Tea.

Using this type of gift or what I call being a “Latte Master” is one of the most appropriate, well received and classy acts of appreciation you could give and the bonus side of this is that it’s safe as a gift for any person, business, or industry.  It will speak “Class” on your part and set you apart from everyone else in your field.  To give you a live demonstration and actual experience, I would love to buy you a cup of the worlds best Latte (or gourmet hot chocolate or tea) and send it to you as my gift for being our reader and of course I will send it over postpaid on my end.

Just shoot me an email at don@donboyer.org and your shipping address and I will ship you out a Coffee Latte that will make you think you died and went to heaven!  Okay, maybe that is a bit of a stretch, but I guarantee you will love it!

When you send a unique gift it gives you the slight edge of standing out, getting noticed and being remembered, all which are necessary ingredients to win in this new economy.  Do you know how many people drink coffee? I don’t know either but I know it is ton of folks.  They drink it morning, noon and at night.  In fact I am told that coffee is the number two commodity in the world.  The little coffee bean is a popular little booger and everyone seems to love it and drink it, and drink it and drink it.  So stand up, stand out and stand to be remembered by being a “Latte Master”.  I look forward to hearing from you and sending you the world’s best latte.   Let me buy you a Latte, you will love it.

Until tomorrow, thanks for taking time to be with us today and continue you to share us with your network.

Just Give It A Try…

As a child (and somewhat as an adult) to say I was (am) a picky eater would be a massive understatement. No matter how hard my mom would try, or how fierce her warnings were, she had one heck of a time trying to get me to eat anything new.  Her famous words were “Just Give It A Try”.  My famous reply was “I don’t like it”.  “How do you know you don’t like it?” she would ask me, in which I would say, “It looks funny and smells bad”.

Age 10 running from my moms new dish.

Age 10 running from my moms new dish.

Every time she came after me with a new dish I would take off running like a rabbit that just got shot in the ass with a pellet! 

The entire goal of all marketing is just to get your target market to “Taste” your product or service.  As human beings in the 21st Century our internal anti-purchasing systems are so well honed due to the over extensive offers and selling propositions that flood us everyday.  Without thinking, whenever we are exposed to a product or service everything in our brain begins to fire off signals to reject, refuse, ignore, stay away from and run that it automatically overrides our conscience decision and power of choice.

Most do not realize this process is happening to them, but as it happens it blinds us many times to the very thing we need and even desperately desire.  This is the reason many salespeople, professionals and business owners are failing to make more sales and acquire more customers.

Your marketing goal is just to get people to “Try” you on for size, take a test run, and experience a sample.  No obligation, no strings attached, no commitment, no pressure just a simple experience to see if What We Have is What You Want. 

In fact, if you took just that one phase and thought and used it as a marketing tool you could double and triple your selling rate.  And as my gift to you today here is a copy of a marketing letter/email that I wrote that you can use free of charge.  I am paid thousands of dollars to write ad copy like this but this one is on me.  This marketing tool can be used for prospects to both a warm and cold market and used in any media format.

“Our Goal Is Simple…just to see if what we have is what you Want!”

Dear Jim,

In today’s competitive market it seems everyone has the answer to your problems, but the fact of the matter is there is no one magic bullet that fits and solves every problem, not even our product line and service.  That’s why our method of operation is simple, just allow you to test drive and experience our product line with no strings attached, no commitments, no selling pressure, no fake promises and no cost.

The bottom line lets just see if what we have is “What you Want” it’s just that simple.  If it is, we both win, if is not, we still both win because we found out what you did not want and laid the foundation of building a future business resource relationship where I refer anyone I meet in your field to you as I trust you do the same for me.  My company as well as I personally looks to build relationships, solve problems and make friends, not sell products!

Give us a test drive, try a sample, try it on, either way I promise you in the end you will be glad you did.  Call me today at….

Ok, that is a very short but powerful marketing piece you can adapt and tweak to fit any kind of business or service.  Using this format allows you to do these 5 powerful things:

  1. It gets your foot in the door in a non intrusive manner
  2. It starts the relationship cycle
  3. It sets you apart from your competition
  4. It cuts through the chase to identify if this is your ideal customer
  5. It puts you in control of the sale 

Take a look at your marketing plan and system and then look at your bank account, I promise you they are both the result of each other.  If you want a better bank account you need a better marketing plan!

The Monkey And The Nut That Killed Him…

Every business has 3 cycles; a time to get in, a time to stay in and a time to get out!  For many professionals and business owners not understanding these business concepts gets them into big financial trouble and has bankrupt many.  The timing of these cycles is extremely precise and offer little room for error.  It’s kind of like those big revolving glass doors, if you jump on it to fast your face is going to slam into a plate of glass and you will pick yourself up with fewer teeth than you started with in the morning.  If you exit too late, you are going to catch a foot or a hand in the door jam and you will yell like Hell!

It takes just the right timing to enter and exit on those revolving doors.  I do not know who the genius that invented them was but they should require a fearmedial doctor installed at each door.  Far too many people go into business thinking it is a lifetime ordeal.  The business may have a long life span but it is rare that it stays with one owner or one family.  On the other hand, many people have got into the right business at the wrong time and lost everything they had including their mind.

The other culprit is getting out too soon.  People jump ship because of rough waters, challenging times and slow growth periods.  Most everyone is familiar with the true story of 3 Feet from Gold recorded in the famous success book “Think and Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill.  It is the story of a man who was digging for oil and after much time, money and work was invested with no results, he decided to quite and sold all his oil drilling equipment to the junk yard.  An engineer started studying his map and realized that the oil seeker was just three feet from black gold!  The engineer purchased the oil equipment for a few dollars, moved it three feet over from where the last man left off and became a wealthy oil tycoon.

BusinessQuitting and getting out of a business too soon is most likely the number one mistake made by both armature and professional entrepreneurs.  The reason being, business is no place for the faint in heart, the weak, the complainer, the excuse maker, the bull shit expert, or the fearful.  If you cannot make a decision or make up your mind, don’t go into business or it will drive you out of your mind.  For these reasons, many people get into business only to get out way to soon. If you are going to succeed in business you have to be as tough as King Kong and at times it will not hurt to look like him too.

But out of all the three cycles of business, the most deadly culprit and death trap of all is staying in a business too long.  Thus my headline, “The Monkey and the Nut that Killed Him”.  They tell me one of the main ways that monkey hunters in the Amazon Jungle hunt moneys is by taking a coconut that has been hollowed out and drilling a small hole at both ends and slipping in a small nut.  Then they take that coconut and tie it to a tree.  Before long, a monkey comes by and sticks his hand inside the coconut to grab the nut.  When he does the hunters come walking up comely and easily captures him because when the monkey grabs the nut and makes a fist he cannot remove his hand.

Now the money knows what is coming, he is yelling and jumping up and down and trying to yank his hand loose (with the nut) but finds it impossible to do.  All that monkey has to do is let go of the nut and he could easily slip his hand out of the coconut and go free, escaping capture.  But for whatever reason, that monkey will not let go of that nut and thus gets captured.

That is a perfect illustration of entrepreneurs staying in a business too long even though they can see the end coming.  They refuse to let go and get out.  Many times they do not know how to get out, sometimes the emotional bond is too strong, for some they have been beaten down so bad they do not have the strength to let go.  But for too many, they are like that money and choose sheer stupidity and refuse to let go of the nut that is about to kill them.

The three cycles apply not only to business ownership but also to working careers.  Your income, lifestyle, health and peace of mind are determined by your ability to maneuver your way successfully through these three business and career cycles.  One of the most important things you can do before you enter any business venture is have a plan of action for all three cycles.  Know when to get in, know how long to stay in, and most important know when its time to save your ass and get out!

Take a look at where you are right now and ask yourself what cycle are you in? Because the understanding and timing of business cycles are so important, it is critical that you find an experienced Mentor to help you with this process.  You cannot put a price tag on Mentorship, it is priceless and the value is beyond measure.  Cycles are inevitable finding a Mentor to help you is optional (on your part).

Special Note: Relax…When you see my offers they are designed to give you the essential tools and resources you need to help you achieve everything you desire.  Here is where the “Relax” part comes in.  You will only respond to our offers when the “Timing” is perfect for you and not a moment sooner…I Guarantee It!

So relax and feel safe reading our resource offers, it’s not about selling its all about timing and you are in control of that not me.

Hard Times Are Not Necessary…

As Melinda and I drive around our city, the number of empty business buildings seems to be at record highs.  I am sure that empty buildings are also saturating your town and city.  One of the saddest things is to drive by a business and peer into the windows and see that there are no customers in there. The business seems like a dying ghost town.

Embrace the JourneyAs a business owner myself, I know how painful it is to be in a situation where you see your heart, blood, hard work and total investment dying and going down the tubes. Unless you been there, words cannot express the pain and heartache.  Driving to get a big Cheese Burger from Tommy’s the other night, waiting the for the light to turn green I was looking into a little mom and pop Mexican restaurant where there was not a single person in there, my stomach got a knot of compassion for them.

The thing that disturbs me more than seeing these dying businesses and empty buildings is realizing that all this shortage and hard times is Completely Unnecessary!  The reason these buildings are empty and business owners are failing is because they never took the time to develop an economy sustaining Marketing Plan and System to Attract New Customers and Sustain Current Customers.  If they had a Proven Marketing Plan they would prosper like an Oasis in the middle of a hot desert.

Although our economy is harsh, it does not cause professionals to suffer lack.  What a bad economy does however is demand us to take 100 percent Responsibility for the results that are happening in our business and life.

In a good economy, it allows us to coast and ride the wave of global prosperity without taking much responsibility for our business and therefore can thrive with a poor marketing plan or no marketing plan at all.

But all that changes when the economy goes south and now you are in the middle of a battle with no experience, no weapons, no way to defend yourself and the enemy comes in like a flood and turns you every way but loose and does you butt wrong!

If you are a business owner or professional, unless you make a strong change of direction in your marketing plan and put that plan at the very top of your priority list, it will be just a matter of time until you will become the next victim of these vicious economic times we are facing today.

Hear me well, things are not going to get better any time soon, we are a long, long way off before the financial pressure is going to let up, and only those who are Marketing Prepared and Strong are going to survive.  For those of you that are currently employed and do not have some kind of side business in the works, that’s like walking on a tight rope without a net on a very windy day.

The Good News is, you do not have to be a victim of this economy, Hard Times Are Not Necessary.  Wake up and realize the reason for your business lack is the lack of a Marketing Plan.  Your Marketing Plan and Plan of Massive Activity is going to be your Ark that will save you in this storm!

To all our readers, we come here everyday to share with you proven ideas and tips that not only keeps us afloat in this economy but allows us to prosper and thrive.  This is why I invite all of you, no matter what industry you are in to join our Free Exclusive Inner Circle Membership where we help you reach your dreams.  Here is what one member wrote…

What’s Marketing?

When my oldest son Eric (now 34 years old) was about 15 years old when he called an ad offering a job.  Since this was his first experience at seeking work he called the phone number on the ad.  When the receptionist gave him a brief description of the job she then asked him to send in his resume, in which he shouted out to her, “What’s A Resume?” 

Once she explained what a resume was, he asked for directions how to get to the place of business to drop it off.  She asked him, “Where are you coming from?” he said, “My Home”.  I kid you not, that is a true story!

I often think back to that event when I talk with clients about the importance of having a proven marketing plan and they sit across me with glassy eyes, and I know in their mind they are thinking…”What’s Marketing”.  Now, the blame doesn’t really lay one hundred percent on them because the normal set of training out there about marketing is so boring and confusing no one but the Author’s mother is interested in reading it.

Top that off, most professionals feel they are way to busy working on other aspects of business to really make marketing their number one priority.  What most professionals and business owners do which is a financial and business profit disaster is give the marketing over to someone else.

While they are supposed to be aggressively marketing your company, which they have no clue how to do it effectively, they instead are aggressively surfing e-bay for something to buy.  Therefore today’s blog is dedicated to…

Millionaire Speakers MarketingThose Who Desperately Need Marketing

But Don’t Know How To Do It 

I created and use a marketing plan that is so easy to do, so effective, painless and profitable that it blows the minds of our share holders how people all over the world throws outrages amounts of money at me everyday via our product line.  Rest assure, this is no late night, get rich quick, blow blue smoke up your butt instant system to wealth.  My proven marketing system is the result of a lifetime of study and mentoring from wealthy millionaires who created their wealth from marketing.  Over the past 30 years I have invested well over a million dollars in myself learning these systems and years of hard dedicated study.   I have paid my dues for my success and I paid the price.

If you ever learn one thing about life and success it’s this; “It demands full payment up front and it gives no bargains, no deals, and no short cuts and does not negotiate”  

Yet millions of people everyday try to alter these concrete laws to no avail and bitter disappointment.  It’s like when Zig Ziglar asked his dentist “Do I have to floss All My Teeth?”  His dentist said, “Heavens No…Just the ones you want to keep”. 

When people tell me, “Are you saying as a professional business owner I have to be an expert in Marketing?”  I reply “Heavens No, Expert Marketing is only for those who want to stay in business”. 

Here in a very easy to understand, once again is my Proven, Painless, Have Customers Throw Outrages Amounts of Money at You Marketing System.  This system will give you more customers per month than most companies get in a year!

  1. You create an Audience by giving away an e-book that you co-authored with Recognized Best Selling authors and leaders.  (My company puts you in that kind of book)  This is called a “Lead Generator”. 
  1. You develop a Following by solving the problems of those who contacted you from your Lead Generator (free e-book you sent). 
  1. You provide your following with your Product.  Once you create an audience, turn that into a following, providing (selling) them products is the most natural organic thing in the world to do.  Your following will purchase as many products as you can offer them and throw outrages money at you. 

Although my system is very easy and simplistic, it has very core reasons why it works that are not visible to the naked eye and that is why many have tried to copy my system and failed miserably.  You can’t cheat or shortcut your way to Success…period.

Here is the crazy thing, I will help and teach anyone for 12 Months for Free, No Cost to put my system into their place of business, yet people want to side step this Free Offer and try and do it on their own…and fail miserably.

They lose more money trying to succeed and failing then they would have of just coming into our Mentorship program and learn how to do it the correct way.

My closing statement to you is, “If you want to lean my system of proven, painless and profitable marketing and start having people throw you outrages amounts of money at you everyday, contact me at don@donboyer.org and I will show you step by step how to put this system into place in less than 24 hours!

All you Buck-A-Roo’s  have an outstanding day, we will see you when the Sun comes up in the morning.  Thanks for your faithful reading and sharing our daily blog!  Be sure to sign up for our Free Monthly Exclusive Inner Circle Membership at www.DonBoyerAuthor.com
