5 Marketing Hacks That Will Help You More Than a $200k Marketing Degree

1. Visual Depiction Effect

People buy products that they can see themselves using. Make your products look ready to use.

 

2. Exclude people with your marketing, rather than attract.

  1. Zone in one message, one goal, one mission.
  2. Filter out people that are not a good fit.
  3. Only speak to your true ideal customers.

 

3. You don't have to be everywhere. Show up in one place and be exceptional.

Many marketers will have you believe you need be everywhere, this leads to stress and burnout.

  2. Hone your craft and master the platform.
  3. You'll attract more than enough customers to make a 6+ figure business.

 

4. Rather than market to your ideal customers. Market to who they want to be.

5 Unique Tips to Close More Sales Fast

1.Use the assumptive close

Whenever asking for a payment at the end of your sales calls, do NOT do this:

•   Wanna start work? Do you like it?

• Instead, assume that they will work with you, and give them 2 options. Both options favourable to you.

"Which package would you like to invest in? A or B?"

 

2. Use the, no-risk, full benefit close

Lay out all the benefits of your programme, and add a guarantee on top.

Only then, reveal the price and ask:

How would you like to pay, paypal or card? 

 

3. Same boat, row ahead close

Present someone who was in the exact same situation as them. Then showcase their transformation, and say:

"Rob was in the exact same situation as you, he was looking for X, Y and Z. Fast forward 3 months after, those are his results. If you are looking for similar results, let's start Monday" 

 

4. You are privileged close

Make them see that the sole reason of them being able to afford your service, is a...

The One Single Business Lesson I Wish I Learned Sooner

  • Giving discounts to every customer creates a bad reputation.

 

  • You create your brand around being a "discount giver"...

 

  • This gives your customers power over your price, which they shouldn't have.

Only you get to decide your price.

 

  • When your price is always discounted it creates a habit with your customers to only buy from you when it's cheap...

    Thus, never buying from you at full price.

 

  • When you do offer your product at full price, they go to another cheaper option. You end up stuck in an endless price war in a bid to win customers on price...

Rather than winning customers over on loyalty to you, your brand, and the experience you work hard to deliver.

 

  • Discounts are a double-edged sword.

Reserve them for the right occasions:

 New product launch (introductory price point)

 To reward existing loyal customers

 Bulk orders

 Long term retainers (ie signing a 6 month service)

5 Habits That Will Make Your Brand More Successful Than Jeff Bezos

1. Be direct with what you want

When building your business it's important to state exactly what you want.

This means:

  1. Asking customers to buy
  2. Asking what you could do better
  3. Asking why your customers didn't buy.

 

2. Focus on the results

Most businesses are vague about exactly what results they bring their customers.

Ask yourself how you quantitatively impact the bottom line of your customers.

Then communicate it to customers to build your reputation around bringing results.

 

3. Take action more than planning.

When creating a new product or service its easy to get stuck in planning stages.

Planning a million theories will not bring your brand success.

Put an idea to work and learn from the outcome

 

4. Focus on the journey.

We live in a time of instant gratification, as a result, this has led us to expecting instant success.

 Create a piece of content = brand will go viral

 Launch a product = sales are going to roll in on the first try

This leads to...

6 Lessons from Luxury Brands to Make Your Brand 95% More Profitable

 

1. Luxury brands command premium pricing.

When your customers see higher price points subconsciously they feel it must be of greater value. That price commands a very specific experience, one that your customers deserves to receive... after all, they paid for it.  Equally, when you know you provide an exceptional product/service, the price MUST reflect the value to prevent undervaluing your service. 

 

2. Luxury brands focus on extreme levels of differentiation.

Luxury brands invest a lot of money to make their brand different. The slightest similarity to a cheaper option will cause customers to choose the cheapest option. Cheap is not an option for luxury brands, it would harm your positioning and cause customers to go elsewhere. 

This why luxury brands focus on extreme differentiation through the customers they serve, their brand identity, and the overall experience delivered. 

 

3. Luxury brands are passionate about their...

5 Phrases You Should Never Say in Sales

These phrases will damage your sales!
To grow your business and make more money, do not use them.

 

1. 'I am sorry that I am late' 

This lowers your status and puts emphasis on the fact you were late.

Instead, simply say:
Thank you for your patience.

 

2. 'Do you make the decisions'?

This can appear disrespectful to the person you are talking with and break the deal.

Instead, simply ask this:
Who else will be involved in the process of making the decision? 

 

3. Would you like us to work together?

Cmon, this sounds like a kid in school asking another one 'wanna be my friend'...

Instead, use the assumptive close and say:
Would you be paying with your debit or should we do a paypal?

 

4. We only work with the best

Many people do not want to be the best or strive to be the best. It sounds gimmicky and elitist without need.

It sounds cool to say this, but it will cost you a lot of sales... 

 

5. My competitors are worse than me
