Buy a filing cabinet. A big one. That's my advice for aspiring direct mail copywriters, creative directors at direct mail agencies, and marketing managers who want to improve their direct mail results as quickly as possible.The quickest way to master the craft of direct mail copywriting and design is to learn from others. So you'll need a cabinet with two drawers, minimum.Across the label on the top drawer, write: SAMPLES. Across the label on the bottom drawer, write: RESEARCH.Now you're set.From this day forward, keep every piece of direct mail

In our fast paced work culture, manned by technology savvy generation in a globally competitive environment, quality and productivity became the battle cry of corporations to stay in business. Though this is not necessarily bad, an equally important ingredient to succeed is seemingly taking the back seat.Knowledge and Skill--- two competencies, through the years, were given much emphasis by the corporate world. As long as the job is done, the sales target is met, attitude, character and habits of employees became secondary in importance.When evaluating employees for promotion, leade
There are a variety of organizations that run networking groups across the country. The largest group is probably BNI, which offers members the chance to attend weekly meetings and develop new professional relationships to help them grow their business. some chambers of commerce are now organizing "leads groups" for their members as well. These groups are intended to offer members a way to connect with each other and potentially refer each other business.
In most "leads groups" each group allows no more then one representative from any industry, so if the group has a mortgage broker other mortgage brokers have to join another group or wait for the seat to open up. The idea is that by restricting membership, you eliminate competition within the group.

First impressions matter and one of the best ways to introduce yourself is by using the elevator speech technique. This technique is colorful, memorable and is guaranteed to grab the attention of your interviewer.Elevator speeches are primarily crafted for very, brief chance encounters in an elevator. This is why they are only about 30-60 seconds long. Business people use them everyday to acquire new clients. Successful job candidates use them to position themselves head and shoulders above their competition.An elevator speech is real simple. It’s all about what’s in it for the othe

I think selling and marketing today often feels a bit like talking to a brick wall and that in interesting metaphor to help grasp the importance of niche marketing especially when it comes to small business marketing. Imagine for a moment that you are attacking that brick wall with a hammer, randomly hitting it everywhere. What would be the effect? Practically no effect at all. You might knock off a few chips but come back a day or so later, there will be no evidence you were even there.And that’s the effect of any broad marketing and advertising campaign. You may make the odd sale, but o

Going to an interview without a plan of action is like going out on a football field without a game plan. Total disaster! Suppose I were to ask you right now.“What are your skills or attributes?” Could you give a good answer?Suppose I were to ask you the question that’s in every interviewer’s mind.“Why should I hire you?” What would you say?All of the interviewer’s questions that you will see in this section have a purpose, and that is to put solid meaning into your interview preparation. So, do study them, all of them. Interviewers have different styles, some yo

If you think, 'it's just an interview for a temp job -- no big deal,' that's where you're mistaken. Some wonderful opportunities, networking connections and careers have resulted from temporary positions.Temporary assignments today run the gamut from receptionist to CEO and beyond. And since an agency is usually the first contact with the company, much of the marketing and negotiations have been done for you.And if you believe 'but the interview is set up and all I have to do is show up,' you're wrong again. The mind set you bring to that interview will make a big difference as to w
The agenda at most structured networking meetings is pretty straightforward. Each member is given an opportunity to introduce themselves, then there is a short presentation by one or two members (each member gets the chance eventually). The meeting ends with members discussing potential referrals for each other. This means that most of the members get about one minute to present who they are and teach the other members of the group how to refer to them.
Most people do a great job of presenting themselves. However, most people do not think to ask for referrals. At most networking events, you are not expected to ask for a referral or explain what a good referral for you is. However, at a leads group it is not only acceptable, it is expected!
I am involved in a number of networking groups and have used the simple outline below to create my elevator pitch (quick introduction). When I deliver my elevator pitch to a leads group, my goal is to educate everyone in the roo
