Cleaning supplies and cleaning services can eat a big chunk out of your bottom line but there are things you can do to save up to 50% on these types of expenses. Having your facilities cleaned and having to stock your bathrooms with toilet paper and soap are a necessity but there are ways to save hundreds if not thousands of dollars each year on commercial cleaning and cleaning supplies.If you use a cleaning company and your facility is under the size of a football field then you are wasting money.

every bit of it to get your message across.

John E. Kennedy, one of the most famous figures in early advertising history once said "Advertising is simply salesmanship in print." This holds true today. Your advertising is selling your services, it is like your sales force working to bring you qualified leads and clients.

You wouldn't limit a flesh and blood salesperson to just a few sentences and expect them to convince anyone to buy, so why would you put a limit on what you can say in your ads? Imagine if you were o

Problem-Solving Success Tip: Keep Your Promises
Meet your commitments. Do what you promise and don’t promise what you can’t deliver. Meeting commitments strengthens relationships and builds trust. You need both to solve messy problems. If the situation changes and you have to change a commitment you made in good faith, let everyone know right away so they can make appropriate changes to their own plans. It seems obvious, but many people don’t manage to do this.Managing your commitments successfully means you must be organized yourself, which brings us back to project management—with you being the overall project. That means you’ll need to write down all your specific projects, identify tasks, set

Here are 5 critical concepts of writing advertising that sells. In fact, it's rare to find this in most small business advertising. This means if you use these in your Hypnotherapy ads, you will have an advantage if for no other reason than you stand out.

1. Translate features into benefits

Do not just give information and assume that the reader will correctly interpret it and realize how it brings value to their life. People want to know that you can solve their problem, you need to make that clear as a bell so your prospect has no doubt they came to the right person.

Example: If you offer a 'Free Consultation' as part of your marketing, you need to clearly articulate how this is beneficial to your prospect.

Example: "Take advantage of our FREE 30 minute consultation. Come down and meet our staff and have any questions answered about how our program works and can help you to stop smoking forever."

2. Write from the 'you' perspective not the 'I' perspective

Nobody buys anything unless they perceive a direct benefit to themselves. The question must be answered "What's in it for me?"

If you spend all the time telling them how wonderful you are, instead how what you do is good for THEM, they will not spend a dime with your business.

Do not say, "I offer three weight loss packages." Instead talk directly to them, or as Robert Collier would say, you enter the conversation already going on in their mind.

Example: "Everyone has different needs. You may just want to lose a few pounds, or you may desire an entire lifestyle change. You can choose from three different weight loss plans, each specifically tailored to get you to your desired level of health and fitness. I will personally help you to choose the one that will serve you best during your free consultation session."

3. Use long copy in your advertising

Don't be afraid of long copy. Ad copy should be long enough to get your message across effectively and leave virtually no questions unanswered. If you are paying for the space, you want to use every bit of it to get your message across.

If anyone takes the time to look at your ad, they are going to want as much information to make a decision as possible. The more you give them, the more likely they will be to do business with you.

An ad with long copy will out-pull an ad that is mostly white space or graphics every time. This has been shown in tests time and time again since the 1930's. If you do use a photo or graphics, it should only be there if it helps with the sales message. Putting a photo of a sunset or your dog does not help people get your benefits oriented message.

4. Positioning yourself as THE expert

Especially when it comes to hypnosis, people are skeptical. One tool to overcome skepticism is by positioning yourself as THE expert. I can't emphasize how important this is, and it is a central theme to my marketing methods.

When people consider you THE expert, they will forget their skepticism, they will listen to what you say, and they will not object to your fees.

Positioning can be done in a number of different ways, including.

using testimonials from satisfied customers (ALWAYS USE THIS ONE)

guarantees and warranties

any media coverage of you or your business

writing articles or books about your profession (like this article)

Note: of these, the most powerful is TESTIMONIALS. Especially for something people really don't under stand well, such as hypnosis. ALWAYS use them whenever possible. You are collecting testimonials aren't you?

5. Remember that stories sell, facts only tell

Whenever you can use first person stories, third party stories about customers and anecdotes to make key selling points, be sure to do so.

As a hypnotist, you know very well the power of metaphor. Well it works in your marketing and advertising too. If you have a client who comes back to you with a story about how their life has changed remarkably, use this story in your marketing. In this business heart warming stories happen all the time, and people can
