Most Retailers Miss This Huge Black Friday Opportunity

The ads are prolific for the biggest retail sales day (not profit) of the year…Black Friday. However, most businesses including physical retail store never go the extra step of developing a relationship with their customer.

Black Friday Sales are Brisk and Largely Unprofitable – Should Be Viewed As Lead Generation

Shopping Savvy customers are more often than ever making their list of deals, buying the deals and leaving. Cross over selling is declining. This means that most of the sales on Black Friday are unprofitable or just slightly profitable. Attention: take advantage of Black Friday’s increased traffic and look at it as a great lead generation opportunity.

Why Do Retailers Continue Black Friday Promotion If They Are Not Profitable?

If retailers do not compete on Black Friday someone else will grab that customer and there will be a loss of customer loyalty. Several years ago WalMart moderated their Black Friday and holiday promotion strategy and it was costly. Following that season they vowed never to be out of that game again. Since you are in the game capitalize on the the traffic at a minimum with a name and email capture campaign include text messaging lead capture if it is appropriate for your business.

Most Retailers Continue To Ignore A Great Opportunity When A Customer or Prospect Walks In The Door.

Customer Relationship Marketing is a huge opportunity. People want information and want to know “their store cares”. It is insane to focus on recruiting the store staffing with the right image and customer service attitude then not go the extra step to capture name and email address for a follow-up thank you.

For an increasing number of businesses adding text messaging marketing makes sense. However, it will not replace email marketing anytime soon. Email marketing and text message marketing will not replace the positive feeling someone gets when they receive a physical card. There are many businesses that should Send Out Cards.

I advise every one of my clients to implement a relationship marketing campaign. There are numerous success stories. A recent very notable one is a company just beginning to implement a relationship marketing strategy and the results are very positive in less than 60 days. The winter season is the slowest time for their business. There have been cash flow problems in the past. This season is shaping up to be very different in a positive way.

Action Steps:

Develop a customer relationship marketing strategy. Part of the relationship is educating your customer on products, services. Focus on the value you deliver rather than the latest deal.

The Five Best Principles For Economic Prosperity

These are the 5 best principles for economic prosperity ever ( I do not know the source…if you do let me know and I will give credit)

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Can you think of a reason for not sharing this? Neither could I and that is why I am …with you

Self Confidence Formula

Self-confidence formula by Napoleon Hill as presented in Think and Grow Rich

First I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my definitive definite purpose in life therefore I demand of myself persistent continuous action towards it’s attainment and I here and now promise to render such action.

Second I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward physical action and gradually transform themselves into physical reality. Therefore I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture.

Third I know through the principle of autosuggestion any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it. Therefore I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.

Forth I have clearly written down a description of my Definite Chief Aim in life and I will never stop trying until I have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

Fifth I fully realize that no wealth position can long indoor unless it is built upon truth and justice therefore I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy selfishness and cynicism by developing love for all humanity because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me because I will believe in them and in myself

I will sign my name to this formula commit it to memory and repeat aloud once a day with full faith it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become self-reliant and successful person

Now you know the formula. Will you follow it or continue to bemoan the lack of success in your life?

The Number One Question I Ask All The People I Coach To Answer

The Number One Question I Ask All The People I Coach To Answer Is:

Have you decided how much money you are intending to make in the next year?

A definitive financial goal measurable in amount and time is essential. For most businesses we use an annual horizon. Many advise a longer term strategic view. Devoting time and energy to a strategic picture is part of it. However, I consistently find that a shorter time period that is easier to to clearly see developing is the most productive for most business owners and managers.

There is a lot more to achieving the financial goal which includes the business process, systems, leverage, marketing and working on the A items that make the most difference in business performance. At this point…most people who read this article do not have a defined financial goal in place and related action plans designed to achieve that plan. If you do this, you will begin to see a transformation in your business performance.

How To Achieve Abundant Financial Goals

The following was developed from the book Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder. Quotes are from the book unless otherwise noted. In the past I have written spiritual based guidance on my Manifest Masterming Blog. Today more than ever spiritual based practical guidance is needed and I am sharing this with a wider audience and including references to success of coaching students as well as my own experiences.

——————————–

1. Dissatisfaction: until we firmly decide that the our current situation is unacceptable, they will remain largely the same. It is also important to firmly know just because “things always have been that way” doesn’t mean they cannot change.

2. Build your pictures of financial abundance on paper and in your mind. Decide how your new state will best serve others.

…. Catherine Ponder writes in Dynamic Laws of Prosperity that ancients believed the number 10 has magical powers of increase. Start thinking 10×10 is coming to you. Ex look at $2000 in your account and focus on $200,000 coming to you (10×10)

She further writes …”Conservation of thought, energy and emotional drive are all greatly needed for financial prosperity. Scattered thnking, emotions and actions lead to a scattering of mind power which depletes your brain energy that is needed for intellectual and physical course of action.

I just spent the entire day with a new client and the main principle we worked on was identify the hours he could commit to his business and the focus of what he would achieve in that available time. In a very short periond of time he realized a seven figure income goal for him in the next 12 months was achieveable. “What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Napoleon Hill

3.Think Big …dare to be different. “the time for daring is the moment when the stakes are high. We must be willing to risk much to win much.”

Personally I have taken substantial risks in my life and some of them have been huge disasters. I have never felt my purpose was to accept the status quo. My personal focus is on further improving my health, energy level and skill as I know with those three in place there are no limitations for me. I believe the same is true for you.

4. Quietly and Boldly hold onto an image of success. “I was never successful until I went in a partnership with God. God’s guidance never leads me anywhere but to greater prosperity. Begin and conduct each day asking your partner for guidance. God opens the ways where to human sense there seems to be no way. Grasp this truth and hold onto it. Then steady your faith and your courage.

5. Through the power of prosperous thinking all things are possible. It is necessary to discard negative attitudes and discard negative obstacles.

I have a friend who demonstrates this better than anyone I have ever met. She consistently focuses on fun and positive people. She immediately dismisses anyone or anything negative. As a result you would never know she has experienced the death of her first husband, another long term love and other major events that would have stopped others in their tracks. She is a successful entrepreneur, energitic, a devoted mom and great demonstraton of what is possible by focusing on the fun and positive.

6. “Success lies in being one pointed and rejecting all that distracts from ones victorious objective.”

7. “Cease needless activities, associations…cease being bothered with needless chatter with scatter minded people.

8. “Discipline yourself more, conserve your time and your energy. Please the still small voice of progress within your own heart.”

9. Concentrate Concentrate Concentrate on prosperity to the exclusion of everyhting else. Discard negative failure minded people and week out all undesireable relatonships. Be careful with whem and how you spend your time including your leisure time.”

10. Assume your prosperity now for the day, for the week, for the month. Begin affirming lavish abundance for the day even before you rise.

Affirm ” I expect lavish abundance every day in every way in my life and in my affairs. I specifically give thanksfor lavish abundance today.”

————————————–

The Economic Problem Explained by Heidi’s Bar

Heidi is the proprietor of a bar in Detroit ..She realizes that virtually all of her customers are unemployed alcoholics and, as such, can no longer afford to patronize her bar.

To solve this problem, she comes up with a new marketing plan that allows her customers to drink now, but pay later.

Heidi keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the
customers loans).

Word gets around about Heidi’s “drink now, pay later” marketing strategy and, as a result, increasing numbers of customers flood into Heidi’s bar. Soon she has the largest sales volume for any bar in Detroit .

By providing her customers freedom from immediate payment demands, Heidi gets no resistance when, at regular intervals, she substantially increases her prices for wine and beer, the most consumed beverages.

Consequently, Heidi’s gross sales volume increases massively.

A young and dynamic vice-president at the local bank recognizes that these customer debts constitute valuable future assets and increases Heidi’s borrowing limit.

He sees no reason for any undue concern because he has the debts of the unemployed alcoholics as collateral!

At the bank’s corporate headquarters, expert traders figure a way to make huge commissions, and transform these customer loans into DRINKBONDS.

These “securities” then are bundled and traded on international
securities markets.

Naive investors don’t really understand that the securities being sold to them as “AAA Secured Bonds” really are debts of unemployed alcoholics.

Nevertheless, the bond prices continuously climb – and the securities soon become the hottest-selling items for some of the nation’s leading brokerage houses.

One day, even though the bond prices still are climbing, a risk manager at the original local bank decides that the time has come to demand payment on the debts incurred by the drinkers at Heidi’s bar. He so informs Heidi.

Heidi then demands payment from her alcoholic patrons. But, being unemployed alcoholics — they cannot pay back their drinking debts.

Since Heidi cannot fulfill her loan obligations she is forced into bankruptcy. The bar closes and Heidi’s 11 employees lose their jobs.

Overnight, DRINKBOND prices drop by 90%.

The collapsed bond asset value destroys the bank’s liquidity and prevents it from issuing new loans, thus freezing credit and economic activity in the community.

The suppliers of Heidi’s bar had granted her generous payment extensions and had invested their firms’ pension funds in the BOND securities.

They find they are now faced with having to write off her bad debt and with losing over 90% of the presumed value of the bonds.

Her wine supplier also claims bankruptcy, closing the doors on a family business that had endured for three generations, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor, who immediately closes the local plant and lays off 150 workers.

Fortunately though, the bank, the brokerage houses and their respective executives are saved and bailed out by a multibillion dollar no-strings cash infusion from the government.

The funds required for this bailout are obtained by new taxes levied on employed, middle-class, nondrinkers who have never been in Heidi’s bar.

Now do you understand?

George Ross Says Put This On Your Wall: 20% of What We Do Results In 80% of Our Success

Each month I host or co-host an hour call for a private group with George Ross, Donald Trump’s right hand man. This is a unique opportunity to directly connect with one of the sharpest, most experienced businessman in the world. In this brief article I am sharing a key point that George made just last night on the formula he attributes to his success.

The 80:20 Rule

You probably heard it and know it but do you live it? George does and explains it this way: If you list 10 things you feel you must get done, look at them close and pick the 2 or 3 things that will make the most difference in your business and get them done. The rest either don’t matter or can be delegated to someone else. With incoming tasks think of three piles an A pile and a C Pile. The A pile contains the top 20% and the C pile contains the obviously least important items. The B pile holds all else. Now knock off the A pile.

Simple right? You can understand it and you can implement this system right now. But will you? Most will not long term because it requires discipline. That is your choice.

Every Choice We Make Has Consequences

Following the disciplined steps known to result in success is a choice. Choosing not to follow them or not to be disciplined to follow them is also a choice. Both have predictable outcomes.

What Does Clearly Defining Your Goals Mean? …Not A Trick Question

Every business owner and entrepreneur I coach finalizes a financial performance plan for their business during Phase 1 of the coaching program. This plan is for at least a year and may extend 18 months or so. While that has been a foundation of the success experienced by the many people I have worked with, I have arrived at an enhanced formula for even greater success.

While the entire picture is reserved for my clients, this will give you insight as to the expanded formula for success. Here are some questions that will give you an idea:

1. Knowing what you know now, would you be in this business if you were to start fresh today?

2. What is the visualization of your life three years from now with this business and what behavior and action steps do we need to implement now for that picture to become reality. With this questions I am focusing on lifestyle goals including the material things that the client is dreaming about. So this is a stretch the imagination exercise.

From these questions and more we develop action steps that are implemented to achieve the desired outcome and measure actual performance against plan. Plan Actual Variance is the Gold Formula which will be the topic of a future article.

In summary, defining your goals really means defining how you want to experience your life. I look forward to your comments.

Six Ways To Turn Desires Into Gold – From Think and Grow Rich

If you have read it, it is worth reading again and making notes. If you have not read it, you will be well served by reading it. The book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill is readily available on line. It is priceless.

I am writing formula “Six Ways To Turn Desires Into Gold” as a reminder for myself. I hope you benefit from this formula.

“Every human being who reaches the age of understanding of the purpose of money wishes for it. Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure will bring riches.

The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definitive, practical steps:

First: fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say “I want plenty of money.” Be definitive as to the amount.

Second: determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. There is no such thing as something for nothing.

Third: establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

Fourth: create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth: write out a clear concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for it’s acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan though which you intend to accumulate it.

Sixth: read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read – see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.
