Building Blocks For Success

Like any child from my generation, when growing up I loved to play with classic toys like “Lincoln Logs” and “Erector Sets” – this of course was before everything had to include a USB port and an always-on WIFI connection to the interweb but still they were great for early Building Blocks For Success.

One thing I learned from playing with objects that existed only in the “REAL” world was the fact that if you wanted something to work and remain intact it had to be assembled in a careful, thoughtful manner.

Well, that lesson has stuck with me and it absolutely applies to the way in which I craft my  Marketing campaigns.

Every successful Marketing Campaign has three (3) key Building Blocks For Success

It must provide a truly compelling, preferably irresistable,
MARKETING MESSAGE.

This is REALLY important, so allow me to dive into this deep for just a moment.

The problem with most marketing messages is that they’re… well, weak.  They basically say the same boring things as you see on most boring business cards. Worse, they say exactly the same things everybody else is saying.

“Dedicated to service!”
“The Best at …”
“Number One in NNN County for XXX Years…”
“In Business since 19XX…”

Who cares?  Even worse, they end without any kind of clear

“CALL-TO-ACTION!”

Which means the prospect – after processing the message – has no clear idea what it is they should do next.

Here are the key elements of an effective Marketing Message and Building Blocks For Success.

* Meaningful specifics, not vague generalities
* A real Promise
* An Offer or Offers
* Precise Commands – “What I want you to do now”
* An Extra Reason to Act Immediately

Whenever I teach these principles – and the other Magnetic Marketing  elements of “direct response” – people who “get it” change the way they communicate with their prospects and customers dramatically… which brings powerful positive results instantly and forever.

And Then….

It requires knowledge, access to information, and the skills to choose, define, and target the very BEST possible markets.
This means delivering your Marketing Message to ONLY those most likely to respond… which requires on your part a little more thought and analysis than just carpet bombing a Zip Code with letters and expecting to get insanely great results.

(As you’re probably already realizing, I’m a big fan of using that grey go between the ears as effectively as possible.)

And, it’s all about choosing the right media to use.

And honestly, I meant to go into this subject, but it’s critical information and frankly more than I can take on in this post,
I’m out of space…

Indeed, I could prattle on for days on each of those topics – I’ve studied them for years and there’s so much involved. As I told you earlier, if you were looking for the shiny “magic button” from me, that’s not who I am. I shoot straight and want to give you information that WORKS rather than is TRENDY.

I want to set you up for the Building Blocks For Success , not FAILURE.
