8 Ways to Make Your TV Advertisers Mad!



You wouldn't believe the number of calls I get from vendors! Some days it is astounding. Here is a list of a few things that turn me off which probably means they also turn your advertisers off:

1. AEs who don't know how to clearly state their value - why they need me to listen, take appointment, etc. You have about 5 seconds to get my attention.

2. AEs who ramble on and on when leaving a voicemail or say they are calling to "check in" or "touch base." Business owners don't have time for that.

3. AEs who either arrive late for their scheduled appointment or are not respectful of my time in some way

4. AEs who misrepresent themselves in some way to get to the decision-maker or to get the appointment (I threw that one in ‘cause I'll bet it's true!)

5. AEs who insist on saying "Tell me about your business" or any other basic question that could be answered by browsing my website or "googleing" me or what I do.

6. AEs who give the same speech or proposal to every client (I can spot those a mile away)

7. AEs who make claims they can't fulfill to get the order

8. AEs who waste time trying to become friends rather than solution providers. Build rapport but remember, most advertisers have their own circle of friends and look to you to help them grow their business.

Bet you can think of a few more - please add them to the list!

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.
Re: Need A Review Of My Internet Marketing Blog - Hi Jay, I tend to agree with the others. You have obviously put a great deal of effort into your site which you can be proud of and the content is great but there is just too much of it. As soon as I landed on your home page I was immediately distracted by a pop up message followed by another banner at the bottom-not good. I want to see your site and what you have to offer. A lot of visitors will just exit out at this point when what you want them to do is stick around and ‘take action’ by signing up to one of your offers. Try to streamline your site into your banker offers and a few others and if you want to lead people away from your front page to specific niche offers all about perhaps ’surveys’ or ‘data entry’ then just include a side widget for something like ‘Other Ways To Make Money On The Interent’ and take them away to another page with different banners etc but not all on your front page as they will be totally confused by all the offers and leave. My site below is very new with limited content to very specific offers and over the coming months I will be developing it to cover other linked pages to other areas of interest for the visitors, best wishes, Mal.

Re: 10 Tips to Start an Online Business - [quote="Anya101":1y6il6zm] 5. Make it very easy for people to order your products. The easier the order process, the more orders you will get. Make sure your payment pages are secured. If you accept payment online, it is [/quote:1y6il6zm] *This* is very good advice. I went to a site a couple of weeks ago to order a DVD, an independent movie, and instead of having Paypal, I had to jump through hoops to sign up for their payment system. It would have taken me more minutes than I cared to spend, so I just didn't bother!
