Use your "hidden" mind reading power to easily attract more clients

In marketing, knowing your prospect's needs, wants, challenges and problems are important keys to selling them.

Now suppose you had a way to know almost exactly what your prospect wants when he or she lands on your web site or reads your email marketing message ? Think that would be give you a better chance to make a sale?

OK. Well, the first two things your prospect is looking for are universal and if you aren't taking them into consideration with all your marketing, start today and watch your sales jump.

Thing 1: People want useful information when they are looking to solve a problem or fulfill a need. Drop the welcome to your site stuff and the here's a list of all the services and products we offer.

Thing 2: They want information quickly.

So, useful and quick. Understanding and acting upon that alone and will put you so far down the track ahead of most of your competitors.

However, you can leave them in the dust by supercharging your marketing with an understanding of what your prospect is experiencing or thinking at the time they are presented with your marketing message.

While you can't know exactly what's on your prospect's mind, you can make some pretty good guesses based on information you already have. What it comes down to is having a clear understanding of who your ideal client is and why they bought from you.

Something tipped the scales in your favour that made your current clients pick you when it came down to making a buying decision. After all, they probably had many options.

If you aren't quite sure, start asking. When you have an understanding of why they chose you over your competitors, you're in a position to develop marketing messages that tap into your prospect's brain.

And your road in is your prospect's Reticular Activating System.

The Reticular Activating System (RAS) is the "attention center" of the brain. It works 24/7 and determines what we pay attention to by acting like a filter. It's impossible for the brain to focus on everything it is exposed to during a day so the RAS keeps your brain on track by allowing it to focus on what's important to you.

Here's a common example of your Reticular Activating System in action.

You decide to buy a new car. Let's say it's a CHEVY TrailBlazer. From the minute you start looking for a place to buy it, you will see CHEVY TrailBlazers everywhere you look. That's your Reticular Activating System allowing you to see them.

Now, think of how that can impact your marketing.

Your prospect has needs and wants. And he or she frames up many of those needs and wants in the form of problems that need solutions. By presenting your offering in the form of a solution to a problem, your marketing will tap into what your prospect is thinking -giving them EXACTLY what they want.

If your prospect is looking a service and visits a number of websites which are presenting the same pick-me sales message - here are all the products and services we offer blah blah - think about how you can cobble together a marketing message that immediately shows up on your prospect's RAS radar because it matches up to what he or she is really searching for - a solution to a problem.

Think that will increase your chances of attracting attention?

You can bet it will! Which is why it's so important for you to establish your main marketing message - your USP - and make sure you promote it on your website and in all your other marketing as a solution to a need or want your prospect is searching for.

That way, instead of surfing past your message because it looks like so many others, your prospect's Reticular Activating System will send a message that says, "Hey, stop, that's what you're looking for!"

Happy selling.

Psychics & horoscopes! - I have never sought the help of a psychic and I deffinately do not believe in horoscopes. Although I do believe "some" psychics could hold a special gift (like the ones that help police) occassionaly, but horoscopes are not believable in my book. I I believe the power of suggestion (reading a horoscope) is the real power there. You read or hear how things should go for you and the power of that suggestion could make it happen. Your mind believes it will happen, so it does. It's Sort of like how if you fully believe you are sick (when you are not), your body reacts as if it really is, therefore developing symptoms.
Re: Business Women Peer Mentoring Spotlight - That is a great idea, David. This is what I had in mind for the Women's section, but it makes sense to post in on the main site. Of course, I'm waiting for some women to step up to the plate and share how they could use some support on taking the next step with their business! If you are a Business Woman reading this, I invite you to consider that this is not displaying weakness in any form. Peer mentoring and Coaching is incredibly valuable. You get to bounce your ideas off others, hear perspectives from outside your own box, and feel the power of others cheering you on. To me, it's wisdom to use all of our available resources to move towards business success. That's why I have my own Coach and my own Mentor Coaching Group. I also offer that to my clients. These are services one usually has to pay for and you could enjoy some of it free right here! So who wants to start? Can you tell I'm excited about the possibilities for you even before you begin? Warmly, Tami
Re: 20 Reasons why you must be a reader - 3. Your mind needs stimulation in order to continue its expansion. You dont read...you dont grow! 4. Your mind can sort and remember tons and tons of information. Reading builds your own internal mind library that you can reference at any time. 5. The subconscious mind solves problems while you sleep. this only works if you read, study and read so that your subconscious has information and resources from which to pull from 6. it promotes bonding and healthier relationships between parents and children. there are few things better that cuddling up with your child and a good story or two. 7. it fosters your imagination and helps you see things in different perspectives which helps you navigate through life better and with more confidence 8. reading is a great conversation starter and networking tool. when was the last time someone asked you what you've finished reading lately....great discussions unfold! 9. having an extensive library at home or at the office increases your credibility (for some). my friends and clients are always in awe of how many books i have read and own. its one of my passions but the amazement on their faces is fun! 10. its a great stress reliever. what is better than immersing yourself in another persons story or drama when things are hectic in your own life. i've been known to stay up all night with the latest Minette Walters.....so gripping I couldnt put it down....and my own stresses extremely far away those are mine for now....

Re: Credit Tips: Dos, Don'ts & a Quiz! - [quote="Ryann":9eqb56r1]You can easily review your score online at Equifax or TransUnion Canada.[/quote:9eqb56r1] Hi Ryann, Are there any costs or hidden catches (e.g. giving out private data to those companies and their affiliates)?
assessing hidden franchise costs - That's a good question Kevin. I've heard some disgruntled comments elsewhere concerning additional fees and hidden costs inherent in [i:3fajtcj7]some[/i:3fajtcj7] franchise opps. It may take awhile to come to some conclusions on those stats. I[i:3fajtcj7] can [/i:3fajtcj7]tell you that there is always that risk and it would be a good bet to add a percentage for those hidden costs.
