Above the Sea of Competition
What makes
you different than everyone else who is your competition? Why would someone
want to do business with you rather than the next person offering the same
services?
This is
a time when everyone you talk to believes that there is very little or
no business to be had . . . that can't be further from the truth.
We might
have to work a little harder for the business, but there truly is just
as much money out there as there has ever been.
Entrepreneurs
strive to stand out in the sea of competition. We are able to do this by
looking at all the areas that we can help others:
•
Share information with each other when we hear about companies that are
potential prospects.
• Show
up on time and consistently at all functions.
• Create
Power Partner relationships.
• Promise
less and deliver more than is expected.
• Leave
every place and every relationship better than when we arrived.
So,
now that we acknowledge we work within a framework of integrity, how do
we get our prospects attention, when they are ready to do business and
have the funds to work with us?
One of
the most innovative methods I've seen in a long time is the electronic
newsletter. Hands down, if your prospects don't stop to look at your message
when it comes to them in a flash through their email, then they probably
aren't prospects after all.
A few of
the fundamental characteristics of a good newsletter are:
•
They are an information tool, not a selling device.
• Newsletters
should be designed to gain attention for you.
• They
are best received when they offer helpful tips.
Now
combine these concepts with an electronic version that has music video
and new techniques and you will soar above your competition!
