Attraction marketing is something that lots of marketers don’t realize. Sales or selling is a bad word to lots of folks. They forget that to be able to buy anything you first must make a sale to get the money to buy. People tend to associate a salesperson with the classic stereotypical used car salesman. Lots of folks have had the unlucky experience of walking on a car lot and then being swarm by salespeople looking to “help you!”
God help you if you do decide to buy an automobile from one of these salespeople because you’ll have to do the negotiating dance. This is when you name your price and then the salesman takes it to his sales manager who makes a counter offer. This goes on for a short time until you walk away or buy. This process sucks.
Now if one of these salespeople started handing out his business car offering a free report on how to buy an automobile with insider secrets then this would be a great report with thorough insider information. He turns into an expert and obtains your trust.
So who do you think you would buy an automobile from - one of the scavengers waiting on new prey or the salesman who has your trust? You would definitely buy from the salesman who gave you the free report.
Here is the reason why - you purchased from this guy because he did not sell you. The one thing that he did was to give you the information that you needed to make your decision. He led you through the process without making you feel unlucky.
This is a great example of attraction marketing.
Imagine your success if you started using attraction marketing in your stay at home business.
How could you do this in your business? Well here are a couple of pretty simple thing that you can do to get started.
Start to focus on how you can serve your prospect, client, or customer.
Start thinking about the needs of your dream prospect. Network marketers have been chasing folks in all sorts of ways and in all sorts of places. The conversation usually begins with, “I want you to look at my new business” or “I want you to check out my new health drink.” This is terrible because it begins with selfish intent that lots of folks can recognize and are resistant to those methods. The reality is that most folks don’t care about what you want.
Now attraction marketers know that the best way to get anybody to work with you or check out what you are offering is to know how your product or opportunity will benefit the prospect. You do this by genuinely being interested in that person and asking good pertinent questions. The you can tell then how your offer/product will solve some of their problems. Talk to them from their point of view and not yours.
Start promoting you as an expert and offering information that folks want.
This sounds a little whacked particularly if you don’t feel like an expert. You must remember that this is a relative term. You can be an expert as long as you know and do more than the next person in your field.
The best way for you to look like an expert is to give out some information pertaining to your chosen business field. This could be a tips publication or describing an effective method that you have used to grow your business. This does not have to be something outrageous; it just has to be good solid information.
You don’t have to worry if you feel like you don’t have anything to give. Look for someone else’s report and give it out. You can do a review on a product or program which will get the ball rolling. One of the best reports used is the 7 lies of network marketing. Good network marketers have used this free report to promote their business and produce leads.
Once you start to get the feel for this awesome marketing method you will start getting all sorts of ideas. You can always check out an attraction marketing blog or site to get more ideas. Also join a network marketing coop to fully take advantage of all your marketing efforts.
