Follow Up With A Call – Telephone Marketing WORKS
By · Comments
How many of us HATE cold calling? – I know my hand is up in the air!
But how about warm calling? That’s a little easier, isn’t it.
The truth is, no one likes the rejection that comes with cold calling, so the question is, how can we make our telephone follow up a welcome part of someone’s day?
Let’s turn that question around… who would YOU like to hear from when you pick up the telephone?
Personally, I would say this is my list of people I want to hear from on the phone (in that order)…
- Friends and Family
- People who are going to help me accomplish a goal I am aware of, and ideally have asked for help on.
- People who are calling to discuss or warn me of important information. Face it – no one likes bad news, but what if you got a call that the stock market was going to crash tomorrow or your loved one was in the hospital and needed help… you’d rather know than not know, wouldn’t you?
You can accomplish all three of these objectives in a good telephone conversation to prospects.
Sample Marketing Campaign For Real Estate Agent
For example, as a commercial real estate broker, our marketing campaign was something like this:
- Develop a "FOCUSED" list of prospects who all owned a certain type of property in a certain neighborhood. Work on becoming an "expert" in this area. (Easier said than done, but there was plenty of "fake it til you make it" going on…)
- Send out an informative newsletter to people highlighting topics of interest to them. My goal was always to make these as niche-focused as possible. Instead of sending a generic newsletter to everyone on my list called "What’s going on with Seattle Apartment Buildings," I would send a mailing about, "What Every 5-20 Unit Apartment Owner in Queen Anne Needs To Know About Increasing Vacancy Rates." That’s much more specific and since everyone I’m sending it to could recognize himself as a member of this category, and is likely concerned about rising vacancy, it’s something he’s more inclined to read.
- Follow up with a phone call. Note – we do some research and "warm up" our list before we start calling them, don’t we…
Once on the phone call – We introduce ourselves and build credibility with a short statement of our specialization in the marketplace and a reference to the mail we sent out.
- Follow up with a thank you card for everyone we’ve talked to, whether or not a meeting was scheduled. This will help the prospect remember us and like us MORE the next time we call. For those we are not able to have a conversation with, call and leave a voicemail at least 3 times.
- Repeat the sequence quarterly. Mailing and contacting each prospect 4 times a year.
We quickly engage the prospect by giving him an exciting, scary, or relevant news item that might effect his strategy and ask him for HIS opinions. Notice we are not launching into a long spiel, but rather we are asking for HIS opinions – who do YOU like to hear talk – yourself or a salesman.
Our goal is to get the prospect thinking about his investment strategy, build rapport and credibility as an expert in our corner of the marketplace and propose a reason to get together to further discuss any concerns he has raised during the course of the conversation.
Altogether, the conversation should only last 4-5 minutes. If it goes longer, it may be that you’re giving too much information on the phone and not asking the prospect for a sit-down meeting to go into further depth.
This is just one example of a relationship-building telephone marketing routine. In real estate sales, the "deal" often gets done after the prospect and agent have known each other for months, if not years. You can not antagonize your clients or be too pushy. This is very different than a sales call in which products or services are purchased over the phone.
The thing I want to point out is that it meets my criteria of who I would like to hear from on the telephone. Someone I know – like friends or family. You WILL get to know someone if they call you four times a year. That’s more than my Grandma calls me and she LOVES us. Also, as my prospect gets to "know" me through voicemails and mailings, he will feel more comfortable taking my calls even if I haven’t spoken to him yet.
Second, if the salesperson is doing a good job in delivering value – such as news about the marketplace – that helps the client form his investment strategy, it won’t matter if the client is not looking to sell his property right away, he can still benefit from the conversations, even if he doesn’t plan to sell or buy property soon.
This is the type of relationship that you can develop with your clients over the phone. It can be hard at first, but it only gets better. Keep your focus on the client and providing value for him each time you talk. Ultimately, the client wants to feel like you are a valued expert who will advise them in their best interest, not a salesman who’s always thinking about wringing money out of them and working in his own best interest.
I was talking to an attorney the other day who shared an important marketing strategy that she had been teaching to the junior associates in her office.
It was a simple strategy, but extremely effective. It’s something you can do, too, to make more money and build more credibility in the eyes of your clients.
The question essentially boils down to, "What else can we help you with?" Or, in the words of McDonalds – "Would you like fries with that?"
Have You Simply Been Focused On Providing Excellent Service?
You Need To Identify What Other Needs Your Clients Have That You Can Help Them With.
So many service providers get caught up in providing their own excellent product or service, that they don’t focus on being a RESOURCE for their clients and helping them meet their other needs.
The attorney I spoke to had a NICHE focusing in estate planning (writing wills, doing tax planning) for high net worth individuals. She did not do things like creating LLC’s, helping people buy and sell property, or handle litigation, divorce, bankruptcy, adoption, or any of the myriad other things that attorneys help people with.
However, she did realize that she had captured the mind share (attention) of her clients and they respected her opinion and appreciated her help.
She was in a unique opportunity to extract information from them and advise them on other strategies to meet their needs.
In this case, she limited herself to recommending other attorneys in her law firm who could also serve her clients. If they had other legal needs, she could immediately put them in touch with an expert she knew, and the fees from the additional legal work would go to benefit her firm. She didn’t get anything out of it, like a referral fee, but she did benefit the client by putting them in touch with excellent service providers, benefit the law firm, by helping them develop new business, and enhance and reinforce her credibility in the eyes of her clients as someone who was committed to helping them and was well positioned to do so.
Is this a strategy that you could implement within your business?
What if you are more of a one-man or -woman show, rather than a partner in a large law firm?
There are still lots of ways you could implement this strategy.
How Can YOU Implement This Up-Sell/Cross-Sell Strategy?
For example, realtors can refer people to mortgage brokers, home warranty programs, attorneys and title companies they work with. They can even make a 25% referral fee by sending clients to other agents, if they’re not in position to help that agent themselves.
Dave Ramsey is a radio personality who talks about getting out of debt and personal finance. He has a national audience, and he says to them, "If you need help with financial planning, real estate, taxes, etc. Go to my website and look at my endorsed local providers." Then people can do business with the people he recommends, and he gets a kick back for sending over the business. Brilliant, simple, you can do it, too.
This is rampant in the world of online marketing. If you have a list or sell a product, you know what your list members are interested in based on how they found you or what product they bought. (For example – give me your email, and I’ll give you a report on how to improve your credit score or I’ll sell you my book on how to not get burned by mortgage brokers). If you had a list of people like this, you’d know they were probably interested in improving their credit and/or obtaining financing. You could sell these leads to a mortgage broker, or let the mortgage broker play to email an ad to your list. You could call up the prospects and see if they were interested in getting a loan, you could email them an affiliate offer and earn a commission or a referral fee if they signed up to buy the product you recommended.
There are lots of different ways to go if you have people’s attention as a credible advisor and know what they’re interested in… their concerns and dreams.
Make it a point to ASK them, so you can find out. Then find a worthwhile way to help them with the most common and pressing concerns.
Making your own cheap postcards is a great way to save money and get your message out.
When I was just getting started as a real estate investor, I made $10 an hour at my day job. I new I wanted to do mailings to targeted lists like foreclosure leads, bankruptcy filings, probate sales, etc. but it had to be CHEAP because I didn’t have a lot of money to spend.
I found that I could make my own very cheap postcards with the following approach.
Steps for Creating Your Own Cheap Postcards
- On your computer, or by hand if you want a different look, divide an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper into four quadrants. Create two sheets like this – one will be the front side of the cards, and one will be the back side of the cards.
- Write your sales copy on each side of the card. One side will be mostly blank and you will put the mailing address label there. The other side is where you have the opportunity to put your sales copy. You can put a black-and-white photo or drawing if you want, but I have found that with limited space, long copy on postcards pulls very well.
- Make sure you include a call to action and your contact information (phone, fax, website, email, etc.) so people can get in touch with you in the way that is most comfortable for them.
- Print out and bring your two "sides" of the postcard to a local copy center. Get the postcards printed on light card stock (tagboard) on a color that is easy to read. (I like light yellow. But different colors may pull well with different audiences – for example – lime green is great for teenagers, but adults don’t like to read things printed on this color.) Make a two-sided copy so you have four "front of the postcard" images on one side of the tagboard, and four "back of the postcard" images on the back. You should be able to have this printed for about ten cents per sheet. If you are printing a lot of post cards, find out if you can get a price break if you order a certain quantity (e.g. over 1,000).
- Have the copy center do two cuts (one vertical, one horizontal) to cut each sheet into four quadrants. This should be about $1 "per cut" which is just $2 for the whole print run.
- Now you have cute little postcards that you can stick address labels on and stamps on and they are ready to go.
Special Note About Making Your Postcards
These days, you can also have postcards made for you in 4-colors for pretty cheap. The nice thing about printing your own is:
- You can do small print runs (you don’t have to order a huge number).
- You can do them fast (don’t have to wait for print company to make them and ship them to you.
- You can make them at home, and print them out on your computer with a "mail merge" so you don’t have to use address labels, you can just print right onto the postcard.
- Sometimes things that look "home made" or "less professional" actually get MORE interest from the people you mail to. You look like a mom-and-pop business rather than a big corporation sending junk mail. Consider who your target audience is and whether this approach might be more effective.
Postcard Template To Make Your Own Postcards – Cheap – Using Microsoft Word
If you want to use this strategy, the only hard thing about it is setting up the template for Microsoft Word.
I hope this is helpful!
Good luck with making your own cheap postcards!

P.S. If you prefer to have your postcards printed, I have had really good luck getting unbelievably cheap 4-color postcards printed here.
How To Find a Good Postcard Printer
By · CommentsFinding a good postcard printer is a necessity whether you want to make business postcards, or just stock up on some customized personal postcards that you can use for routine correspondence at home.
Here are a few things to look for when you’re selecting the postcard printer you want to work with:
- Quality of the end product – The age and type of equipment that a printer uses can affect the quality of his output, whether it is color postcards, glossy or matte finish, or even whether he is able to use embellishments like foil. Sometimes your options are more limited when you use the mom-and-pop shop around the corner, if they have not been able to invest in the latest and greatest equipment to do the printing.
- Production Time – How long will it take to create the print job? If you go to a place where they don’t have a ton of business, or you decide to make your own postcards, you can have your postcards printed on the same day you decide to get them. If you need a larger print run, or order your postcards from an online postcard printer, you may find that it will take longer to have them in your hands. If you can, it’s good to plan ahead so you can order your postcards several weeks in advance of when you’ll need them.
- Price – Although it’s nice when price isn’t your primary concern, it’s ALWAYS a factor on my list when I make a business decision. Ask your postcard printer if there are any price breaks if you order a certain quantity of the postcards. Compare the cost of various features – for example – full color on one side and a black and white or 2-color printing on the other side. Also if you work with an online printer, be sure to factor in the cost of shipping and any "rush" on your order, to understand the true cost of having your postcards printed.
- Layout Support – One of the biggest impediments to many small business owners coming away from their print shop with postcards they are happy with, is having a good graphical design layout. It can be expensive to hire someone to design your postcards. Unless you are using a text-only postcard, or have a photo that you’re going to use for one side, chances are you’ll need some graphic design done for the elements of your post card. If you’re working on a budget, having a good template to work from can save you a lot of time and money. Even if you’re proficient at Photoshop or Publisher, consider starting with a template that will work for your postcard, and then adding embellishments like your photo or logo. My postcard printer, for example, has thousands of templates that you can use, you can also make your own in their postcard designer online, or upload images or graphics that you’ve created on your own software.
I have had thousands of postcards made… some I’ve printed myself on my computer, some I’ve printed at the local copy shop (Staples) and some I’ve outsourced to an online printer. If you have time to order through an online company, I would highly recommend it.
I found that they offered the best quality product at an unbelievable price. The slow turn around time was the only disadvantage.

WHAT IS PARTICIPATIVE MANAGEMENT?
Participative management is a method, which gives employees responsibility, accountability, and appropriate authority over their work. The method provides simple tools for employees to improve their work performance and positively impact the bottom line. The process provides an environment to make employee needs known and creates a vehicle for improved communication between all areas of the organization. What sets this strategic method apart is that subordinate’s suggestions are, in fact, employed. People solve their own issues and feel empowered within the process of doing so.
BE PATIENT, THIS IS THEORETICAL TO BEGIN WITH
Executives and employees learn to redesign their workplace to be participative and self-managing. This process is not about tearing down administration or organizing functions. People are not asked to do things that they are not capable of accomplishing. There may be training involved to improve skill sets. This does not resemble laissez-faire management in any way. Executives and subordinates study a section of work and pose the relevant questions relative to roles and responsibilities and their need to be located within work limitations essential to achieving individual and organization goals? The idea is to allow as much responsibility, accountability, and reasonable authority to people actually doing the work. Participative management addresses the criteria for superior performance. These proven points have been extensively studied, in the plant tested in every country with surprising results in many types of work environments. Participative management creates a workforce that is committed to obtaining positive results for the organization such as increased productivity and improved quality. People are enthusiastic, inspired and are prepared to give additional energy to advance job performance. Participative management works best when the organization has a clear and compelling mission and vision. Employees can then align their personal mission and vision to support the organization.
Participative management has clear goals and does not turn over the organization to employees. There is still a hierarchy but it is not a dominant hierarchy, which dictates everything to employees. A non-dominant hierarchy has as many levels as are necessary to do the work of the organization. People have clear roles and responsibilities and manage themselves as much as possible. Management tells people what the strategy is and what is expected in terms of results and then allows people to figure out the how to deliver on management expectations. It is essential for top levels of an organization remain in control regarding strategy while employees close to the work zero in on their chief duties.
Leadership, in a majority of organizations, is frequently endeavoring to motivate people to be more occupied with organizational improvement. People run up against a brick wall because of the bureaucratic structures that still exist in their organizations. This occurs even after many attempts at improvement. Management has not made it to people’s advantage to participate, communicate, and share what they know with teammates.
HERE THE THEORETICAL BECOMES PRACTICAL – PROFIT & SUCCESS!
Examples of participative management…
Results working with Participative management consultant-business at a Manufacturing Plant were dramatic.

Top Ten of the Most Common SEO Mistakes
By · CommentsMy name is Chris Diprose and I’m the Manager of Search Engine Optimization Australia firm Kanga Internet. As part of this organization my main goals are the development of SEO for Joomla websites and dynamic content management systems. This text is targeted at broad SEO advice for website homeowners, web designers or webmasters of web sites. SEO is not to be feared however embraced.
Firstly it ought to be noted that Search Engine Optimization isn’t one thing performed with a blanket approach it is an individual set of actions performed page by page to suit that page’s explicit goals. Here at Kanga Web we chop up a clients web site into specific and necessary pages based on the keyword terms we have identified through analysis and then write the primary few pages to suit those terms. We have a tendency to associate page titles, page file names (obtain-blue-widgets.html), H1 tags, description and keyword Meta tags and in page content to inform the story that match those identified keywords. It is conjointly necessary to confirm your pages are W3 compliant and don’t have any errors.
The subsequent are the top 10 mistakes that I’ve got seen created time and again again by individuals trying to self-optimize their websites.
1. Bad Titles. Titles are the foremost necessary thing about a webpage. Search engines spiders see the title on your page first and they make a general assessment about it based mostly upon this. They scan the page and create positive the content of the page matches the title and then assign rankings primarily based upon these matches and how they best fit. The title tag is the most effective means to tell the search engine what your page is concerning, and they play an vital half in ranking if used properly. Putting your main identified keywords in the title and making certain to obey the rule of leftward and stemming is vital – leftward rule, the closer the word to the left of the sentence the additional vital it’s, stemming is where words can be associated but with words in-between i.e.: Nice Blue Widgets when stemmed would permit Nice Widgets. It’s necessary to confirm your title matches your page content, description and Meta keywords and in distinctive for your website. Every page title and content should be unique otherwise is will be ranked supplemental.
2. Filename of the page. It is important if you are using dynamic websites like Joomla or other content management systems {that a} search engine friendly URL translator is installed. As a result of I take advantage of Joomla each day I will describe what I mean relating to Joomla. In Joomla (and most alternative dynamic websites) URL’s like the normal Joomla URL “index.php?option=com_mtree&task=listcats&cat_id=1766&Itemid=35″ drive the website. The matter with these URL’s is that they’re unintelligible by humans and conjointly by search engines. Installing a quest engine friendly URL element can amendment these pages to something more meaningful and additionally as well as your keywords in these page names will facilitate with SEO. The newly remodeled search engine friendly URL would look like this “buy-blue-widgets.html”. If you do not have a dynamic website then making certain your page name is short, to the point and contains your main keywords for that page perhaps with a decision to action like “obtain” and “blue widgets”.
3. Duplicate or Unhealthy Content. Making certain your content is distinctive and relevant is very important in SEO success. Often websites just duplicate content or usher in plagiarized content from alternative websites. It is my expertise that these websites fail dismally in search engine rankings. Write some good and distinctive content or maybe search online and realize someone who can really write you decent distinctive content for a fee. Make it sensible, friendly and unique content that individuals will want to link to. If you are listed in the supplemental index of Google then making certain you titles, descriptions, Meta keywords and on page content is distinctive is the sole way to tug them out of the supplemental index.
4. No Links. Having covered off a few of the on page most important SEO tips we have a tendency to currently look at links, which are an off page SEO concept. For every person or web site that links to your website it’s a vote for your site. If the website that links to yours features a high pagerank itself then it carries more weight. Simply having good keywords, titles and text on your page is solely half of SEO. Simply as a result of you created a distinctive and perfectly optimized webpage will not mean you’ll automatically gain a decent pagerank for that page. In order to make sure SEO success you have got to form incoming links – this is in all probability the hardest part of search engine optimization as a result of you are effectively selling your pages all over the Internet. One manner to gain instant (among a few weeks) links is to get text advertising – A research on Google can uncover some of the most effective text linking services. Link exchanges are dangerous as a result of for every vote you get you’re giving one away and if you happen to link to a “black listed” web site then Google can penalize you significantly. One approach links are the ultimate in SEO link campaigns therefore ask for out directories (either paid or free, you would like to evaluate), post in forums, write articles and submit them and ask alternative friendly webmasters if they can help you out with a link. The simplest method to gain links is to have distinctive content that different people really need to link to.
5. Incoming link anchor text. Having detected how important it is to achieve incoming links it is currently important to also point out {that the} text those links are anchored to is vital also. The text should be targeted at your main keywords and the page they purpose to ought to have those keywords as relevant and prominent also. The web site you link from should be relevant to your website. Therefore, for instance I own a web design company in Melbourne, Australia therefore I gain links from web hosting suppliers and/or open supply Joomla sites in or around my region. Getting 1000 links from a casino connected website can serve no profit to my website and will not create it rank higher for “net design” keyword search terms. Use professional sense when gaining links.
6. Bad Internal Page Links. We tend to return to on page factors that you’ll work on at intervals your website. It is important to make positive {that the} anchor text linking to pages inside your own website is relevant to the target page. Make positive the title tag is filled in conjointly for every link. You’ve got the greatest management over links from among your own web website thus create certain they’re relevant and that link title and the on page copy match the most keywords of the target page.
7. Live links. Using some external tools like the link checker that W3 Org supply is good. I suggest harnessing as many tools as you can to confirm all of the links on your website are live, operating and not sending folks to 404 error pages. It’s additionally important to test and build sure your page markup, or html, xhtml, is valid thus W3 conjointly offer a tool to check this. Build use of both of those freely out there tools.
8. Impatience. Search Engine Optimization is not a brief term task. It’s one amongst an ongoing refinement once refinement and hour when hour of working on your website. Producing distinctive content, checking it, validating, listing and checking the search engines and creating positive they have it listed correctly. Do not think for one second that you can optimize your site thoroughly ever and don’t ever assume that simply as a result of you’re number one for a look term that it can indefinitely keep that way. Search Engine Firms are continuously changing their ranking and rating systems and matched with this there are forever alternative people out there gunning for your top spot. Keep wanting to improve and learn more and do not sit back and watch for others to take your top spot, be proactive, ask for out new content, links and keep earlier than the curve.
9. Keyword selection. This is proving to be a very common mistake among beginners to SEO. Typically people base their own keyword selection on what they *suppose* is correct however is that this what individuals truly seek for when they are wanting for your product or service? Often the answer to this questions is no. It is an important step to try to to the correct keyword analysis and guarantee you have got the correct keyword list before you optimize any pages with them. Using Overture, Google Adwords and some other paid keyword tools like WordTracker (the default commonplace in Keyword Finding) are very important to success find good keywords. It’s necessary to localize your target market and work out what they’re really looking out on once they are wanting for product or services that you offer. Do the research and be as specific as attainable while still being broad enough to capture some high keyword traffic.
10. Keyword Spamming and Stuffing. If you sell “Blue Widgets” then every page of your site will not need to possess “Blue Widgets” in the title, description and Meta tags. Strive and be objective and analyze you website. Focus pages on a specific group of keywords you’ve got identified from the keyword list. Generally finding niche markets regionally initial can be best. Therefore, for instance, “Obtain Blue Widgets Australia” or “Get Blue Widgets Melbourne”. These would be examples of excellent second or perhaps third tier search keyword phrases but you’ll make some good sales with these niche terms as a result of the searcher is targeting buying these items.
These aren’t the be-all and end-all of Search Engine Optimization mistakes however I have found these to be the main mistakes made by my shoppers previous to Kanga Net being involved. Sensible luck and I want you all the best with your SEO efforts.
