How To Use Tip Sheets To Promote Your Business
How To Use Tip Sheets To Promote Your Business
Use tips to gain that trust. Don't be stingy. Show them you know what you're talking about. Go ahead and give them a freebie. And don't worry that once they have this information in hand, they won't need you. It doesn't work that way. Information is abundant ... it's help that we need.
How To Use Tip Sheet
1. Tip Sheet Press Release. Editors are on the lookout for information that will be useful to their readers. And like everyone else, they're looking to save time. Turn your press release into a tip sheet and they'll reprint directly from it, often with a blurb about you. Follow this format and chances are, you'll get some publicity. And you'll look like the expert
2. Tip Sheet Promotional Newsletter. Promotional newsletters are perfect vehicles for tips. However, most newsletters give nothing but news about a company, its products and services. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but fluff is less interesting to your prospects than practical ideas and solutions to their problems. A balance of the two can satisfy everyone's needs. So turn your newsletter into a tip sheet and your clients won't be able to throw it away.
3. Tip Sheet Brochure. Besides using this newsletter as a press release, I also use it as my brochure. It clearly conveys my perspective, as well as a sampling of the kinds of marketing recommendations I make. By reading it, my prospects can usually tell if they want to work with me. The only thing missing that a brochure might have are the details of how I work, such as fees and specific services offered, which can easily be taken care of either on the phone and in a personal letter.

The goal of marketing is to make your prospect comfortable enough to say yes to working with you. But while one prospect may need a fancy brochure, another may not be comfortable unless he meets with you. Underneath it all, your prospects just want to trust you.

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
