List And Relationship Building

Ah YES! One of the most controversial statements in the internet marketing world revolves around this “THE MONEY IS IN THE LIST”. However did you know that the money is only in the list if that list is RESPONSIVE!

It’s what we call relationship building my friends. Building or establishing an online base of customers/consumers is no different than building a customer base of people offline.

Let me put it this way. If you own a shop and have about 10 customers that always come in and you always ask them how they are, find out how you can help, give an honest opinion about the merchandise and products that you are selling, send them email or text messages when new stock or special offers arise, and so on and so forth.

Will not those 10 customers be inclined to keep buying from you? They become basically your friends and begin to open up to you more and even give you feedback on your services and products without you even asking because it reaches a point and time where they feel that the shop is almost like theirs. You get where am going with this?

On the other hand you could  have a situation where you have about 2000 customers and when each and every single one of them come into the shop you look at them with the attitude of “You buy or you get out, it’s that simple!”. Tell me. How many of those customers would keep coming back to the shop? They know the shop, at present they are customers BUT for how long?

You probably are thinking what I’m thinking. They will go first chance that they get, because honestly we are all people and human beings and want to be treated with courtesy and respect.

Now when it comes to building an online list it’s the same thing you have to build a relationship with them. 1st of all you have to have a list of course.

Now list building can be a lot of stress and hassle but imagine….what if you could get people to build your list for you at the same time get paid for doing it??

Would this not be something that would be of interest to you? There are many many ways to building a list and one way that I have found that builds me a list the fastest is by getting others to build a list for me.

Do not have time to write all about it now as that is another topic on its own and could get me writing a whole journal but if you want to find out more on the most powerful and most effective way that people are using to build their list in the world of internet marketing today I suggest you visit the link below.

What are your top ten FAQs

What are your top ten FAQs?

As you know, I work with small business owners all over the world to help them build their best business, to help them live a more inspired life by working in something that they are passionate about.  And helping them become more visible so that they can share, their gifts and talents and skills and experiences with the people that need and want their help.

I’m glad you’re here.

What I have for you today is what I guess I would call a “Build A Better Business” tip for you.

Keep a list.

Start creating a list of questions and answers - your most frequently asked questions -the ones that you get all the time about the basics, kind of the 101 of your business.

What are some of the most frequently asked questions that people have when they are starting to think about using you and your services?

For example, if you were an attorney, what are some of the most frequently asked questions that people ask when they are looking to hire an attorney?

What you have to remember is that what you are doing is your everyday life but for people that haven’t experienced that before, this may be a once in a lifetime experience. And so what are those frequently asked questions?

What are the basics, the entry-level 101, the general concept that people need to know?

What is it that they need to “get” about working with you in your business?

What are things that they may have misconceptions about, that they may not understand?

What are the top 5 things they need to know about working with someone in your field?

Or what do they need to know about hiring someone in your field?

Just think about that, and start keeping a list of what are the most frequently asked questions for people that are looking to hire you?

You know what they are going to be asking you?

How can you help them?

And then just work on creating some really good benefit-oriented answers to these questions.

Make it a great week,

Build your better business!

Personal and Business Development: They Go Hand in Hand!

As I’ve mentioned before, a lot of business coaches adhere to the philosophy that “your business is your life”. It may surprise you, me being a business success coach and all, but to be frank – I couldn’t disagree more. My personal philosophy is this – Yes, your business is important, but your life is your life.

If you truly want your business to be your whole life – and you can’t help but live, eat, sleep and breathe your passion at every moment – that’s fine and obviously that is a valid choice. I respect that we all have our priorities, and it’s perfectly valid if someone’s priority is their business. However, my philosophy is that for most people, your business needs to be a functioning piece of a bigger whole. All the other pieces that make up your life such as health, wellness, family, education, spiritual, other relationships, giving back, recreation and hobbies, etc. don’t have to be sacrificed in order to have a successful business.

I truly believe that through balance you can achieve a fulfilling and energizing business, with out having to neglect the other aspects of your life. Your day to day business needs to respect and honor your core values and mesh with the rest of the pieces as a PART of your whole life.

I can’t stress enough how important personal improvement is to starting, growing or improving your business. To some of you, I know this may seem daunting or time consuming. You may be thinking “Great, I have to not only work to improve my business, but now I have to add self-improvement to the list as well?”  Personal development is not something that will take away from focusing on your business, and it doesn’t have to be time consuming at all. Like I said – they go hand in hand! It’s about putting yourself first, realizing that your business needs to function as a PART of your life, and finding the BEST YOU for YOUR BEST BUSINESS.
