Getting It!

 
Well, do you get it now? 2008 will be a tough year to thrive or even survive in your business. If 2008 is going to be great, it will be up to you; and not on something out there, like a good economy, political certainty, and creative thinking from business leaders other than you!

To find out how to make 2008 great listen to our ten minute blogcast entitled, Make 2008 Great! Click here and you are on your way.

Now invest some money and get some help when it comes to marketing you and your business. I have three new CD's to help you.

In the future I will have a new CD each week (that's an ambitious goal) with new ideas, helpful hints, and practical suggestions for living well and building your business. We will also have new programs on marketing, coaching, and growing in grace.

Now let's start with a $50 dollar investment. We have three new business building, selling, and marketing programs. They are based on three steps you need to take to make 2008 great.

Step 1 – Escape the commodity trap. Every business is becoming a commodity. No matter what product or service you sell it is becoming a commodity where low price is the only consumer concern. There are seven ways to escape the trap; this CD tells you what the seven are. The title is - What Do Wal-Mart, The Internet and YOU Have In Common? To find more info, and to order, click here.

Step 2 – Discover that the only effective way to do modern selling is by the ancient art of selling by storytelling. Every great sales person tells stories whether they know it or not. Here you can learn how to become a great sales person by becoming a master storyteller. The CD title is - If You're Not Telling Stories, You are Not Selling at Your Best! To get the rest of the story and to order, click here.

Step 3 – Learn that branding is not enough because branding is for cows. You will also have to tear up most of your brochures because dead-tree (paper) marketing is dead. Do I have you a bit curious as to what that is all about? That is what all good marketing is all about.

You will learn that it is not branding you need, but to become a master performer and learn the art of personal performance marketing™. Again, to get the story that could save you thousands of dollars and maybe your business, order – Branding Is For Cows & Could Your Marketing Be Nothing But a Dead Tree?

Your Super Bowl Commercial

Here is another great idea. There is great power in seeking to produce a Super Bowl commercial for you and your company. I know you don't have the millions to do it, but you can gain a great deal of marketing power by going through the drill.

What would you say, picture, and offer in your 60-second Super Bowl commercial? Want to learn how to do that? Listen to my podcast on the AIDDA formula and start to become a broadcast marketer. Click here and you will hear the 12 minute podcast radio show!

The year is off to a cold and chilly start, climate-wise and market-wise, so make your marketing hot! There may be a recession this year. Decide now not to participate!
