Robert's
Primary Presentation
Robert's
primary presentation is on "The Seven Principles of
Attracting More Clients." He can do anywhere
from a one hour talk to a full day. Often he will
present on just one or two of the Seven Areas
below. This proven marketing methodology has been
used successful with thousands of self-employed
professionals and professional service businesses
to attract clients more consistently.
1.
Marketing Ball -
The Game of Marketing
The
first thing you need to understand is how the
game of marketing is played - and won.
Successful marketing is not a random set of
activities; it has an underlying structure and
set of rules you must follow to be successful.
When you understand the game you can finally
start to play it with some confidence.
2.
Marketing Mindset -
The Inner Game of Marketing
How
you think about marketing your business is a big
key to success. If you are avoiding
marketing, afraid to implement marketing plans
or just plain confused about what to do next,
you need to change your current marketing
mindset to be successful. The good news is that
it's easier than you think.
3.
Marketing Syntax
- The Language of Marketing
Most
people don't realize that marketing has a
language. If you use the right language, you
generate attention and interest. If you use the
wrong language, your prospects won't pay
attention to you. It's absolutely necessary that
all your marketing messages and communications
adhere to the language of marketing.
4.
Core Marketing
Message
- The Value of Marketing
Your
first important step in marketing is to create a
marketing message that speaks to the needs and
desires of your clients. When you have such
a message, you have created a foundation that
will be utilized in all your marketing. A great
marketing message tells the prospect what's in
it for them to do business with you.
5.
Marketing
Information
- The Currency of Marketing
Once
you have the attention and interest of a
prospect, the next thing they want is more
information. We call marketing information
"currency," because it actually buys you
attention, time, credibility and trust.
Marketing information includes everything from
your business card to your web site.
6.
Marketing
Strategies
- The How-To of Marketing
Once
you have the foundation of your marketing
message and information, it's time to implement
some marketing strategies. Strategies
include everything from networking to speaking
to mailings to publishing. You need to develop
and implement the most appropriate and effective
marketing strategies for your business.
7.
Marketing Action
Plans
- The Structure of Marketing
Your
final marketing step is developing a very
detailed marketing action plan or plans.
It's not enough to know the strategies you are
going to use, you need to map them out like a
blueprint with very specific objectives and
action steps. Once you have a solid plan, you
are well on your way to attracting all the
business you need.
Robert
can give an overall presentation on the Seven
Marketing Principles, but most often will
present on one or two aspects of this approach to
marketing. His most popular talk is "How to Win
at the Game of Marketing" which incorporates
the Game of Marketing Ball and developing a
powerful Marketing Message.
