      To acquire new customers and grow your business, follow the five essential steps: researching your buyer, testing assumptions, lead generation, sales offer, and performance measures. These steps, based on the prospect-present-close sales methodology, are crucial for identifying potential buyers, understanding their needs, generating leads, making effective sales offers, and measuring success. Researching your buyer goes beyond finding an audience; it's about discovering those who are already interested in what you offer. Testing assumptions helps gain permission from prospects and learn more about their preferences. Lead generation is the process of attracting potential customers through various channels. A strong sales offer clearly communicates the value of your product or service. Lastly, performance measures help assess the success of your marketing efforts and make data-driven decisions for future campaigns. By focusing on these five steps, you can create targeted, effective marketing campaigns and attract new customers to your business.

    • Identify potential leads and generate them through targeted campaignsResearch competitors, generate leads through topic testing and campaigns, prepare a complete sales offer, and engage leads with outlines or webinars to maximize chances of success

      Effective lead generation involves extensive research, testing assumptions, and a well-prepared sales offer. To begin, identify potential leads by studying competitors' marketing materials and subscribing to their newsletters. Next, generate leads through topic testing and lead generation campaigns, ensuring you have a complete sales offer before reaching out. Use outlines or webinars to engage leads and guide them towards a discovery call. The call may not be a sales pitch, but rather an opportunity to understand their unique challenges and tailor your approach. Ultimately, aim for 100-200 leads to maximize your chances of success.

    • Five key steps to building a successful sales funnelA copywriter or marketing consultant can help research the buyer, test assumptions, generate leads, create sales presentations, and measure performance to build a successful sales funnel.

      Building a successful sales funnel involves five key steps: researching the buyer, testing assumptions, generating leads, creating a sales presentation, and measuring performance. At the research stage, a copywriter or marketing consultant can help compile audience profiles and gather competitor information. In the testing assumptions stage, they can set up campaigns to test different topics and identify which ones resonate best with the audience. Once leads are generated, a copywriter can create effective sales presentations and control tests to optimize conversions. Throughout this process, it's crucial to measure performance metrics to ensure ad targeting and analytics software are working effectively, and to track the cost per lead, cost per sale, and customer lifetime value. By delivering value at each stage, a copywriter or marketing consultant can significantly contribute to a successful sales funnel.

    • Five Steps to Improve Customer AcquisitionBy focusing on identifying customer base, validating info, optimizing lead gen, testing campaigns, and analyzing performance, businesses can streamline their customer acquisition process and bring in more profitable customers.

      The process of acquiring new customers for a business can be broken down into five manageable steps. These steps include identifying the customer base, validating customer information, optimizing lead generation, testing campaigns, and analyzing performance measures. As a consultant, you can use these steps as a guide during a discovery call to determine which area a business needs the most help in. By focusing on these five areas, businesses can improve their customer acquisition strategies and ultimately bring in more profitable customers. These steps are applicable to various industries and can simplify the complex process of gaining new business. Remember, the goal is to make the process as straightforward as possible and not unnecessarily complicate it.

    • Measuring marketing performance and ROIMarketers should hire specialists for analytics and testing, use decision matrices to compare mediums, and follow a structured approach with core steps like researching buyers and testing assumptions to improve marketing efforts and attract new clients.

    A sure fire way to lose subscribers (and clients)
    Don't do this if you want more clients. I make this mistake all the time. It makes my life more difficult as a copywriter or marketer.

    The biggest takeaway is that "monthly regular, better than weekly irregular." When it comes to prospect communications, regular is better.

    Listen carefully if you use podcasting or periodic content to build your client list. My last episode was in December for one of my channels; now it is February.

    I wasn't slacking. I had billable client work, published in other channels, and been engaged elsewhere. Fortunately, I have so many channels, but I could see the drop in analytics.

    This is for freelance copywriters or marketers who feel overwhelmed by content creation. Remember, you aren't in the content business. You are in the business of marketing copywriting services.

    Everyone's scrambling for trends in the content creation gold rush. They seek the next big algorithm hack. But amidst the noise, a question whispers: What content helps create new customers?

    I'm not about about chasing clickbait or fleeting virality. You know something isn't right about content creation "best practices," the gurus proclaim.

    A $20k a Month Podcast, Is It Possible?

    A $20k a Month Podcast, Is It Possible?
    Do you have a high-traffic website but no revenue to show for it? That's typical for podcasts, YouTube channels, and content websites.

    You must do something different to earn $20,000 a year or more. That's what this episode is about. How to add additional streams of income to any periodic audio or video podcast.

    The office is so busy lately that I cannot get through a podcast without an inbound call. That's a great place to be. But not the kind of distraction I need.

    Start with understanding current earnings. Use a measure called CPM. This is "cost per mille" or "cost per thousand." The number doesn't matter; improve it each month.

    But advertising alone won't get you to $20,000 a month. That's where so many podcasters, influencers, and publishers make a huge mistake. As a copywriter or marketer, you can help.

    Triple Conversion Cleaning Up Content The Right Way

    Triple Conversion Cleaning Up Content The Right Way
    Stop wasting time chasing Google Search updates. Most websites can't convert traffic even if search engines send you traffic.

    Stop deleting content on a hunch chasing rankings. Instead, use a scientific approach that triples conversion.

    You're in the right place if you want double digital conversion rates and more cash flow from your business website.

    This approach looks at extracting best practices for lead and sales conversion. Then turns those best practices into better evergreen content.

    Evergreen content helps you draw consistent visitors and conversion. You'll have more predictable results for your business website.

    Unfortunately, many marketing managers choose to delete content rather than improve it. They look for quick wins without understanding how conversion rate optimization works.

    Copywriters and marketers can provide a valuable service in rewriting poor-performing content. This is value-added because you understand targeting.

    More importantly, as conversion rates increase, so can cash flow. Documenting best practices makes new content creation more predictable.

    I'm looking forward to your questions in the comments.

Totally not expected and way beyond great customer service. Thank YOU - you guys rock!
