Jody Colvard shared with us the secrets of marketing in this new digital revolution. She really knew her stuff. People like Quincy Jones and Hillary Duff work with her on the network she created.

I got invited to James Cameron’s house as a result of Jody.

He is one of the best marketers and entrepreneurs I know.

He will be at my Connection Mastery Event September 12-14th in LA.
http://www.secretstowealthandpower.com

Come and spend some time with him, you will be glad you did.

Here are some of his thoughts about getting more clients,referrals, and increasing the overall profits within your company. He acquired over 8 million customers during his career and started 35 different companies.

He focused on wowing his customers. Little things, like calling his customers and prospects the day before their birthday to be the first one to wish them a happy birthday. Ken had the people who worked for him in the financial services make a list of the 1000 people they wanted as a client.

He would then make sure those people received something in the mail from him every single month. One month it might have been an article he read, another month a free report, another month could have been a holiday card he would send to his clients and the potential prospects. Constant communication was his key.

Make your customers an advocate to help them do the selling for you. When he used to sell insurance to nurses, every time they referred his company business he entered them into a contest for a free trip.

Always be giving…

  • Give a book
  • Give a free report
  • Give great value.

The law of reciprocity will kick in and play to your advantage.

Listen to my interview with Ken Varga here:

Ideas are a dime a dozen, the people that implement them are priceless. Ken is great at taking action on many of these excellent ideas. How are you doing at taking action on the things that will make a difference in getting you more clients, more sales, and more profits? Please let me know by commenting here on my blog.

Are you doing the things you know?

Most people aren’t. Knowledge is not enough to succeed, otherwise most college professors would be multi millionaires.

Tough times call for tough measures. Will you be one of the entrepreneurs or sales professionals who refuse to participate in the recession? In order for that to happen you need to be a thought leader in your field.

  • You need to have rock solid marketing systems that generate continuous leads.
  • You need to provide more value to your clients and prospects than your competition.
  • You need to be the first one your prospects and clients think of when they have a need for your product and service.
  • You need to have relationships with centers of influence in your industry who can refer you business.

Odds are you might need to step out of your comfort zone and take your strategies up a notch.

  • Are you ready to develop relationships with the centers of influence in your industry?
  • Do you want to recession proof your business?
  • Are you ready to make more money in less time and to start enjoying more time away from the office?

If you answered yes to any of these questions download the Coaching Application now, complete it right away and email it to ConnectWithLarry@gmail.com Subject: Coaching Application.

After reviewing your completed application, you will be contacted by one of my staff. Only 9 people will be selected to participate in my one on one coaching program, so don’t wait…complete your application and email it to me today.

I am looking to forward to helping you take your business to the next level and achieve more success than you ever thought possible.

If you don’t get coaching from me or someone else go out and get yourself an accountability partner. Having an accountability partner will help you stay focused on the immediate tasks you need to complete to reach your goals. Stay focused, be consistent, and communicate with your partner to keep your business moving forward.

This person who is putting on the event is a very high profile individual and has many of the most famous names in the world of marketing and entrepreneurship speaking at his event.

So today I pulled out some heavy artillery.

I sent a coconut with my letter on why they should have me present at the event.

The Coconut Mailer that I sent today:

Coconut Mailer

I then put a little sticky note on top of the coconut that said “YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE NUTS NOT TO HAVE LARRY BENET SPEAK AT YOUR EVENT.”

I figured if they are thinking about having me speak at the event, well I want to give them as much to think about as possible, and get their attention.

I put the benefits of what his customers would get from having me speak, the benefits the promoter would get in having me speak, and I put a bunch of testimonials all inside the coconut.

What is the most outside the Box mailer you have sent someone that worked.

Post your comments and the person who has the best idea will receive my CD on How to Connect With Anyone and Build Relationships at The Speed of Light, as well as be entered as a finalist to win a ticket to my $3000 Connection Mastery event on June 6-8th http://www.larrybenet.com/seminar

I was deeply moved that so many many people had breakthrus at the event and created the powerful connections that can help them excel in their individual businesses.

All The Speakers from Ann Convery, Joel Block, Ann Devere, Gene McNaughton, Sarano Kelley, Charlie Gay, Theresa Tran, Spar Street and Gary Goldstein, Orrin Hudson, Manny Goldman were amazing and all gave valuable tips on how you can connect, win the hearts of your customers and prospects and get more business and more referrals.

Here is the Winning Formula:

The Power of Connection-really connecting is so critically important…

- The Power of Giving
- The Power of Adding value
- The Power of helping others with, What is important to them
- The Power of following up on an ongoing basis

Remember ideas are a dime a dozen, but the people that implement them are priceless.

What is the one idea you have implemented?

If you have not yet implemented this idea, then do it today, take one small action today on something you have learned.

1) Call someone and tell them how much you appreciate them.
2) Call one of the 20 most influential people in your business community and tell them you want 15 minutes of their time so you can have the opportunity to refer them business in the future.
3) Send one thank you note or one card surprising someone so it makes their day when they read it.
4) Send a testimonial to someone who has helped you or who you really value their product or service.
5) Call one of your strategic partners to see how you can help them more.
6) Call on a non profit and tell them how you would like to help them raise some money by contributing your time, money, or ideas.

You can change your life in 90 days. I really believe that!

- How fast will you put together your power of 6.
- How much better will your life be if you had 6 other people equal or  better to you focused
on helping you get to the next level?

What if you had your Power of 6 at our next Connection Mastery event in late May(Date to come soon)?

How powerful would it be if all your perfect partners and perfect clients were all focused on giving first and adding value throughout the process?

There were several people at the event that offered ways to help me with my business-with things that I really need help with, and I am very thankful for that, I hope you do the same to people you can make the biggest impact on.

I would like to make you more famous and send leads your way. Due to the many things we have planned this year-we will be driving lots of traffic to our website, and I want to direct some of this towards your business.

If you didn’t have a chance to provide a testimonial at the event here is another chance.

Take a second to share the value you received from attending our Connection Mastery Event. Things you learned, people you met and what the impact will be on your business.

How has the Connection Mastery event helped you?

Last but not least I wanted to let you know that I appreciate you, and look forward to  connecting with you in the very near future.

This new Web 2.0 World is happening right now. If you don’t get involved immediately then your business will fall quickly behind that of your competitors.

If you have not already done so previously, then go ahead and view the SMARTS Social Marketing Video. In 2008 I will be focusing many of my resources towards strategically implementing many of these new strategies.

Don Crowther is a member of the StomperNet faculty and created this video to show you some of the many ways to showcase your expertise, attract more leads, and get more referrals.

It is like the early days of the Internet.

You need to be able to fully understand the dynamics of blogging, MySpace, Facebook, YouTube, Digg, and all of the other thousands of social media websites. If you don’t have a complete understanding of these new techniques, then you might actually do more harm then good to your business endeavors.

This video by Don Crowther, whom I met recently at the Blog World Expo, should open up your eyes. It does an amazing job of explaining some of the ways that you can leverage this Web 2.0 Social Marketing trend for your competitive advantage.
