Create Your Top Ten List for Marketing

Guest post by: George Torok

Article Overview: Create a top ten list to answer this question. Print this list on a postcard or flyer. Publish it on your website or blog. Memorize the list but never say all ten at one time. Tell people one or two then give them the printed list to read on their own. Reading the printed list will be more believable and convincing than you droning on. And very few people can deliver a top ten list as entertaining as Dave Letterman.

Create Your Top Ten List for Marketing

Why should prospects buy from you?

Create a top ten list to answer this question.

Print this list on a postcard or flyer. Publish it on your website or blog. Memorize the list but never say all ten at one time. Tell people one or two then give them the printed list to read on their own. Reading the printed list will be more believable and convincing than you droning on. And very few people can deliver a top ten list as entertaining as Dave Letterman.

For the purpose of credibility, order your list from 1 to 10. If you count down from 10 to 1 like Letterman people will expect the list to be funny but not believable. Number 1 should be your strongest point. Number 10 should be your second strongest.
