A lot of people are asking whether it makes sense to continue marketing as usual when money is so tight and often sales are low, cut back to save money and help stay afloat, or even cut marketing out altogether.
My definition of being in business is: “Selling a product or service.” And my definition of marketing is: “Creating exposure for your business, product or service.”
So a simplistic answer is: If no one knows you have something to sell, no one will be able to buy.
Not only is marketing essential in this economic environment, it can also be done inexpensively and very often for free.
I work with my own entrepreneurial clients to build their businesses using marketing methods that are no cost, fun and motivating for them to execute, and extremely helpful to their target market. This also helps to build their brand and exposure. So even if some prospects are not ready to buy at the moment, the processes, systems and strategies are in place and moving to really take advantage when the economy turns around.
But even during the downturn, people are buying. It’s all a matter of delivering great value with your marketing and being able to easily and comfortably show a rock-solid return on investment – present and future.
The best marketing is free. And it will set up your sales for success now and explode even more down the road.
Happy marketing and enjoy the ride!
Jason

Great summary!
I was once, too, temporarily suspended for unknown reasons, and for an unspecified period of time. But I was definitely told not to do “it” again, or else! lol
I couldn’t find in the terms of service what I had violated, and to this day have no idea what happened.
Thanks for sharing these tips. They are more specific and give an idea of what to watch out for and avoid in terms of being Facebook terminated.
All the best,
Jason

Want to sell more? Get the buzz words, catch phrases & industry jargon out of your head. Talk to people in their own, everyday terms so they can relate both intellectually and emotionally.
While working on sales strategies with two different clients yesterday and today, both said to me, “Wow.. I need to unlearn what my company taught me. No wonder I’m not getting many appointments set.”
I’ve also heard this before from past clients. These can’t be coincidences.
These two particular companies are well known and respected ones – one of the oldest and best-known in the financial services and one very respected network marketing company. Both teach their sales staff very specific strategies and scripts filled with phrases that boast of the company’s successes, accolades, and awards but do very little to engage the prospect’s dreams, wants and desires. They don’t connect the dots from what the company offers to what’s in the prospect’s mind and heart.
So how do you connect those dots? Here are six quick tips…
- Ask questions. Don’t assume you know your prospect’s pain and pleasure points. Even if you guess correctly, they need to be in their own words, not yours.
- Make an active sales experience for your prospect, not passive.
- Create a sales conversation instead of a presentation.
- Help your prospect get clear on what they want, how it will positively impact them and the costs for not acting.
- Use check-in questions and assess the fit as you go.
- Leave the decision-making power with your prospect. Don’t try to be sly or force a sale on them. If you’ve done a good job at helping them connect the dots, the decision is up to them.
It doesn’t matter how good your product or service is if you can’t help your prospect make an emotional and intellectual connection to take ownership of their decision.
What are you thoughts and experiences?
