Below is our Marketing Machine Sales Model:
1) Generate – Your Brand Assets must be transformed into professional and creative sales tools — your logo, business card, your SuperWeb site and your “Ice Breaker”. These are the four essentials every sales person needs. To generate leads you must first identify individuals in “your crowd” that you need to connect with. It is best if you can saturate that crowd beforehand with your messaging and image. You want them to have heard of you before you contact them directly. Then you need to “break the ice”. Sometimes it’s best to start with giving; a promotion, a free gift, a white paper on a helpful subject, a survey, an invitation to a local or internet event. All these items should be branded and dialed in to the customer. Random ice breakers bring random results. Invite people into your system — your database of prospects and customers.
2) The Incubator — The rule is that low touch precedes high touch. In other words, saturate your crowd with buzz — speaking, an event, a published article etc. Then offer ice breakers to individuals most likely to buy from you. The bad news is that you will not be at the top of the list for most people. The good news is that you can get them into your drip marketing system like a bank account. Then drip market them with support and inspiration/ interesting offers / relevant news. The advertising “rule of seven” goes into effect: You cannot get on most prospects’ radar screens until they hear about you seven times. It is also essential to drip market to your client base otherwise they will think you have disappeared. Most experts feel you should low touch your base at the least twelve times per year.
3) The Converter – High touch follow up is key. Follow that ice breaker, that marketing event, that speech, that request for more information. Affirm the buzz going around about your Brand and generate even more buzz if you can. Third party buzz, that is people besides yourself talking to your prospects about your business, is 10 times more powerful than direct advertising. High touch branded sales, floating in on a wave of positive 3rd party buzz is like selling on steroids (only it doesn’t give you cancer or get you fired). In most cases, high touch branded selling is the most important component of your marketing machine, your replicable sales process.
4) The Sustainer – After conversion, it is important to feed your customers back into drip marketing for your ongoing residual sales and for referrals. It is important to identify your “singers” and influencers and take special care of them. They are the keepers of your buzz. Referral and customer rewards programs are essential to sustaining sales.
These are the four moving parts of your marketing machine. Each part will be a little different for each brand, each business. Sales is such an art with so many variables that you can rarely take a basic cookie cutter approach. Forming a core replicable process however, is the path to substantial growth.
