Permission Based Marketing: The Holy Grail Of Marketing That Ensures You Capture Your Customers Attentions Guaranteed!

Permission Based Marketing: The Holy Grail Of Marketing That Ensures You Capture Your Customers Attentions Guaranteed!

In an effort to help you in your direct sales marketing and increasing home party sales, I thought I might share with you some simple yet effective marketing techniques that every direct sales rep and home party consultant should have under her/his belt!

What Is Permission Marketing?

Permission Marketing is many things.
It is a method of marketing also known and the 2 Step Direct Sales Marketing Method.

It is also a book written, by the marketing demi-god himself, Seth Godin.

The premise of permission marketing as Mr. Godin expounds is to deliver POWERFUL ADVERTISING THAT IS ANTICIPATED, PERSONAL AND RELEVANT. You can only do so when you have been permitted to do so. In effect it is the difference between rape and consensual sex!

Now before you get offended. Let me explain.

A guy meets a girl that he is particularly interested in. He then asks for her digits and she complies. The guy calls and asks the girl out. She says yes. He wines and dines her, and after a great evening...well if he is worth his weight in gold, we all know what happens next!

Now imagine a different scenario. Guy meets girl, guy fancies girl, guy walks up to girl and tells girls that he wants to F*** her! Girls slaps guy on face and walks away. Guy left to lick his wounds. No pun intended!

The worst case scenario of this brief example is guy sees girls he fancies and helps himself, no consistent obtained. There is resultant trauma and the ill-effects cannot be quantified. Is this really the image you want your business to be associated with?

Likewise many direct sales marketers go about building their businesses much like the guy who bluntly states his objective or worse the guy who by-passes all social cues and goes for gold uninvited.

There are three basic reasons why prospects don't buy from you:

#1 They don't need what you are selling.
#2 They don't believe they have a problem that you can solve
#3 They do not believe what you tell them.

Think about T.V., what is the most annoying this about television? You guessed it, unsolicited sales pitches about products none of us are even remotely interested in purchasing. Most TV shows last all of 30 minutes, but each 7 minutes of pleasurable viewing is interrupted by 10 minutes of commercials and advertisements.

What do most people do when commercial come on? We tune out, mute the TV, text a friend, take a bathroom break. We have learned to ignore the unwelcome guests!

So how do you use permission marketing into your arsenal?

The FREE BOOKLET give away, and it’s outcrops FREE CD, FREE AUDIO, FREE HALF HOUR COACHING, FREE TRIAL RUN is a method of giving people information is called two-step direct marketing. It has been around for years. And has gained more ground with the Demi-god Seth Godin and his book Permission Marketing!

Why use the Free Giveaway?

You’ve heard it said that the money is in the list? Well the truth is that the money is in the relationship you build with your list!

With this you can give your prospective clients what they want INFORMATION. Then they can make an educated decision and more than 50% of them are going to choose YOU. Because you were the one person who took the time to educate them, now you get to be the person to cash

*You will create a landing page/opt-in page to capture name, email, phone number, physical address.
* Use a guest book system
* Sign up sheet if you are hosting a direct sales home party

Once you deliver your free gift, in essence what you have done is overcome your prospect barriers for buying and now you are in the arena of permission email marketing.

If you are currently collecting names of these type of prospects, good for you. If you're not, you must start. These prospects are qualified people by virtue of the relationship you build with them - you couldn't buy this list of names from anyone. It is very important to your company's continued growth that you collect them.

Good marketing systems are about knowing what it takes to get new clients. A proven system that always works day in and day out.

(Visit Patricia's Website) I am Party Plan Pat, the author of Home Party Plan Success Tips a blog for those in direct sales marketing. 10 Deadly Home Party Plans Business Mistakes The Little Black Book Of Home Party Plans Success Secrets I was once a struggling home based business owner, in the direct sales home party industry. When I started I had zero skills - no sales skills, no marketing skills, no confidence, no direction, no warm market, a shoestring budget that I wasted instantaneously. I had no clue, neither did my uplines. I did what most other people do, jump from company to company only to have the same results! One day I took a long hard look at the facts. The companies kept changing, I kept experiencing failure and I blamed everyone except me. It wasn't the company, it wasn't the compensation plan and people didn't suck. It was me! I realized what most home party consultants and direct sales representatives do not realize; direct selling is the business of marketing! Regrettably, many of us who pursue this industry have no idea how to market or promote our home based business. I quickly learned implement a system and Work Smarter!
