Make them a oneconditional guarantee

Guarantees have long served marketing organizations as a way to shift the risk from buyer to seller. By assuring that a prospect can get a 100%, no questions asked, no hassle full refund if not thrilled guarantee, the thinking is that the buyer has nothing to fear if the product doesn’t live up to expectations.

I believe that every company can explore some form of a guarantee as part of their marketing offering. If you think about it you probably offer an implied guarantee of satisfaction to your customers whether you advertise it or not.

There are many examples of simple, straightforward, unconditional guarantees but I think there is one very important condition that you must add to your offer of guarantee to make it a powerful marketing tool.

When you offer a money back guarantee also clearly spell out that the only condition the buyer must meet in order to receive a full refund is that they suggest to you ways that you could make the product or service better or more in line with what they wanted or expected.

I believe that this simple condition does several beneficial things:

It helps you get valuable feedback that may indeed allow you build a better service
It sends the message right upfront that you care about the experience in the future as much as you do about the sale in the present
There are lots of marketers that offer guarantees simply to get the sale. They figure that they can handle the few who bother to ask for a return.

With a “oneconditional guarantee” you invite participation and conversation - you and your products continually improve - and you will likely win back clients who otherwise would simply move on to another product and silence, or at least muffle, potential detractors.

Re: Quote of the Day - "The only people witho - Thanks for sharing this Evan, there are some very powerful quotes in there, I particularly like this one:- You are now at a crossroads. This is your opportunity to make the most important decision you will ever make. Forget your past. Who are you now? Who have you decided you really are now? Don't think about who you have been. Who are you now? Who have you decided to become? Make this decision consciously. Make it carefully. Make it powerfully. regards, Mal.
Money Back Guarantee - That's a good point Louis - if people don't offer a money back guarantee it shows that they don't believe in their product. Most people never ask for their money back anyway but you have to have confidence in what you're selling. If it delivers value you shouldn't have a problem with the guarantee and it reduces the barrier customers have to buy what you're selling.

Re: We Have Another One... - Right after posting my last message I went to the online businesses section and noticed he had posted again since earlier. There are now 2 posts of his in there. At the time of writing this they are the top 2 posts in that section so they should be easy to find. I have also reported them both. I checked one of them and found many copies of it on different forums. One of them was the warrior forum and someone replied to it saying this... [quote:12zan0h6]This has been copied/pasted from Ideas To Make Money Online This guy also tried spamming my forum this way too, was banned quick - strongly advised to check his other 9 threads/posts I can almost guarantee if you google the first sentence you'll find more [EDIT: confirmed - all except his first are pasted from other sources - spamzer]. You'd think randomizing usernames would cross their minds...[/quote:12zan0h6] By the way, the ones on other forums are from journeyoflife7 (without the extra 7 that the new poster here as) which is the same as the one who was banned here. So it is definitely the same person, which means journeyoflife77 should also be banned. I already knew it had to be the same person but this confirms it.
