Before you start to read this let me tell you up-front that it’s a mini-rant. I’m sick and tired of reading about how people are struggling to be successful working with businesses, locally, nationally or internationally.

There are more opportunities right on your doorstep than you could ever handle…if only you took the time to do 2 things (I talk about them later on). Before we get to that, let me ask you a few things…

How long on average do you spend in ‘Offline Marketing’ forums? A few hours a day? A couple of hours a day? I don’t have anything against group learning per se but I can tell you that the quality of many of the forums that I know of has gone way down that it’s a total waste of time going to them. There are still some good ones but they are few and far between.

From where I’m standing, ‘Offline Marketing’ is the new Internet Marketing for many people – Are you one of them?

You see, if you’re spending a large proportion of your time in forums looking for the best way to get clients and grow your business, you’re wasting your time and your potential. I guarantee that if you made some fundamental changes to your mindset, within 90 days, you could have the business of your dreams GUARANTEED.

If you’ve followed me for any amount of time you now that I don’t do hype of B.S. I say it like it is because I believe in ethics and I don’t have any perceived guru status to protect. I’m pi**ed off with the way people are being misled into believing that offering marketing and consulting services to businesses is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Rubbish…It takes working hard and working smart and you will never succeed without a plan backed by action. At the end of the day we’re professional service business specialists and specialists get paid a lot of money for their expertise that translates a client problem into a profitable solution.

Can you do that?

Entrepreneur or Technician?

.

What role do you play in your business? Are you the entrepreneur or the technician? i.e. the doer? Play your cards right and you’ll have people lining up to speak to you, but ‘playing your cards right’ means you have an outreach program that you aggressively implement consistently.

Do you have one or do you jump on the latest low-ticket special offering that arrives in your inbox or that you see in your favourite forum?

The whole truth…

.

In January of 2008, when I officially first started in this business (in other words, I stopped kicking around with the idea in my head and actually took action) I too used to hang out in some of the popular forums…actually one of them in particular. The reason was because that was the ‘hot seat’ at the time for information on ‘Offline Gold’ as we used to call it.

While there was lots of posturing back then by people who felt they were self-appointed ‘leaders’ in this business, the quality of the information was way better than it is today and anyone who has been around the IM forums knows this to be true.

Nowadays, even people that can’t rub two nickels together can slap something together and claim it’ll make you a fortune…

“Wake up and smell the coffee — It ain’t gonna happen anytime soon and probably never will to be quite frank with you!”

Why am I telling you this now?

I’m angry, that’s why.

I’ve been focusing on growing my niche marketing and consulting business and showing others how to do the same and so have been out of the forum circuit for some time. Coming back, I’m shocked to see all these ‘strategies’ being touted as the best thing since sliced bread. Even worse, I’m seeing a lot of the crud being endorsed by so-called experts who should know better.

Look, I know you want to be successful, but everyday that you spend hanging in the non-productive forum communities when you should be growing yourself and your niche marketing and consulting business, is another day that you will pay for dearly in the future.

You can’t escape it.

Secondly, if you’re really serious about taking your consulting business to the next level (whatever that might be for you) you’ve got to focus and follow a plan of action and you don’t get that by following CKM or ‘Common Knowledge Marketing’ as I like to call it.

So What Should You Do?

.
Decide today that you’ve had enough of the struggle. YOU are the only one who can make positive change happen in your life and your future or existing business.

The ‘average’ person can become successful at offering niche marketing and consulting services. You’re reading this now so I know that YOU ARE ABOVE AVERAGE.

If you’re not where you want to be with your efforts and desires to own a successful and thriving professional service business (you can call it an offline business if that makes you feel more comfortable) decide now that you’re going to create connections with your ideal clients.

How do you do it?

.

You need to quit jumping from one thing to another and do the following:

1. WHO are your target clients?
2. WHAT they’re looking for?
3. WHERE do they go to look for what you have to offer?
4. WHEN do they look for your type of offline services e.g. is it seasonal?
5. WHY should they choose you over your competition?
6. HOW do you want them to engage with you (You have a say in the matter and decide who you want to work with)

From being a professional service business consultant since June of 1995 and offline marketing since January 2008 AND having made probably all the mistakes anyone could make in this line of business, you can rest assured that these 6 keys will make sure that whatever you offer as an offline consultant will be bang on target.

If you’ve got a question leave it below and I will answer it for you

Being able to correctly identify the pain that drives a selling opportunity is one of the most critical elements of being able to easily and successfully sell your offline marketing and consulting services. Fortunately for you, if the business pain is acute, uncovering it isn’t that difficult at all.

If you go to a doctor because of severe pain, you readily admit your pain and tell the doctor as much as you can about the situation.

Bottom line … when in pain, you want relief.

The Challenge for Offline Marketing Consultants

.
The challenge for Offline Marketing consultants occur when offline prospects are NOT in acute pan. Business owners who are in ‘latent’ pain may not realize the severity of the situation, or may have rationalized there is nothing they can do about it. In situations such as this, getting your offline prospect to admit pain is difficult.

Getting your offline business prospect to admit pain is key if you want to eliminate the ‘usual’ barriers to selling your offline marketing and consulting services.

How To Use This Insight – Considerations To Get You Thinking

.
What undeniable evidence of their pain can I produce?

• How can I present my information in a way that’s simple and easy to understand?
• What’s the biggest impact of this pain existing right now?
• What are future impacts if the pain is not removed?
• Is the pain acute enough for my offline prospect to want to take action?
• What other solutions are offered by others that help eliminate the pain?
• Is my solution any different?

On that last point, if your solutions or your solutions are not different to that of your competition, why should anyone bother to do business with you?

Certainly not based on price!

To help your prospects admit pain there are a number of things you can and should do and one of them is identify and present undeniable proof to back up what you say or present.

When you present your case and allow your offline prospect to buy solutions they want from you, then you ‘empower‘ them.

“People buy from people who empower them” (I’ll be writing more about this secret in another post)
.
One way to get local business prospects to admit pain and to soft-sell your services is to provide them with a free site review that provides undeniable proof, uncovers and draws attention to the pain of not having enough business and the effects and impact on their local business when they are not (easily) visible in search engine results

$5,000 Chiropractor Consulting Case Study – Sunday May 30, 2010

.

I can hardly call this ‘local’ in the real sense of the term, but thanks to the internet, even though I am Chicago based, New York is just round the corner!

On Sunday May 30, 2010 I secured a project currently worth $5,000 with a New York based Chiropractor using a $50 product as a lead generator and supporting positioning tool. YOU TOO CAN DO THE SAME.

In this training tutorial video I reveal how I did it and how you can do the same too if you take action on what you discover and suspend your belief that making 6 figures as an Offline Marketing Consultant means you need thousands of ‘backlinks’ to your site, or an army of social network friends and followers or the latest and most advanced knowledge of how to ‘do’ {…whatever is the latest fad in Offline Marketing}.

This line of work is as easy or as hard as YOU make it.

Client Attracting Products

Hello – As someone involved in Offline Marketing consulting you already know how important it is to get a steady stream of local business clients paying you for your Offline Marketing consulting services.

You probably also know just how difficult that can be too.

No matter what Offline Marketing consulting service or product you provide, there are 6 basic tips that you can use to help you successfully market your Offline Marketing consulting business.

In this Pathway to Profits audio training program for Offline Marketing consultants. I’m going to reveal 2 of them.

6 Offline Marketing Consulting Secrets You Need To Know…or Else!

Here’s a tip and a question for you.

Do you want your offline prospects to trust you right from the very beginning? I bet you do right?

Most of us involved in the Offline Marketing niche use squeeze pages to capture details of our prospects and it does work to some degree…but it has its downside that could cost you the precious relationship you need to build and work against you.

How? Keep reading to discover more.

Probably the easiest way for you to capture leads is to use a squeeze page. It doesn’t need to be anything fanciful but it should send a message that says, “Give me your details, I’ll give you what you want OR click he heck off!” OK, maybe you don’t say it so blatantly but that’s the bottom line message.

The reason you do this is because of what you can do AFTER you have the offline business person’s details, i.e. follow-up and start to build relationships. But what happens when they enter some spurious and meaningless information? e.g. for first name they enter ‘k’ or some other random text character? How do you effectively follow up?

Follow-Up Fortunes

There’s a fortune in what I call ‘Follow-Up-Fortunes‘. Following up the right way can lead to big pay days for you, but not if your prospect entered some meaningless character and you’re using variable data to communicate with them.

Imagine sending a follow up email that says “Hi k…” – Looks very, very unprofessional doesn’t it?

Wealth partnerships are based on trust and if someone doesn’t trust you enough to give you just their first name alone in exchange to high-value business building information then something is wrong. That sort of person is highly unlikely to trust you enough to spend money with you using their check or credit card.

Solution?

Before I use targeted emails, direct mail and other lead generation methods I already know the details of the prospects (in many but not all cases). So I sometimes drop a ‘polite’ email to say that our recodes ‘lost some of your data somehow‘ and I offer the opportunity for the prospect to let me update their information so they can continue to receive information from us. After a few attempts if it doesn’t work I purge them.

You should do the same too because it’s not a relationship based on trust. The big question …

Do you give incomplete information too? As someone serious about your business you’ve got to talk the talk and walk the walk. Your mindset will flow across to your prospect and make your sales and marketing easier or harder than it should be.

Think about it!

P.S. In the 12 week Chiro Cash niche training and coaching you’ll discover what’s probably one of the HOTTEST lead generation methods you can use to attract clients. It works best in tightly focused niche offline marketing and the results are truly amazing!
