INTRODUCTION

“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
The second big trap that people fall into that prevents them
from succeeding is uttering the 3 most dangerous words in
the English language, which are “I Know That”.

“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
keep you exactly where you are and stopping you from
growing.
To know is to do!
That said let's jump right in and start growing your business.
3
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
So...I want to do the same for you. I want to give you a super
simple process that you can implement today, that if you ac-
tually do it, is virtually guaranteed to put cash in your bank
account.

they were not interested, or just went dead and stopped re-
sponding to me.

Hey (Name),
I hope you're well, sorry I’ve not been in touch lately, I’ve
recently had a new baby so I’ve been very busy :)
Let me know.

“Hi (Name),
6
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Hey (Name)
That’s it!
The great thing about this strategy, is you can send one of
these emails to literally anybody you've come into contact
with over the past 12 to 18 months. If you have a customer
7
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
And if you don't have a database that's great too, all you need
to do to make this work for you is to create a list of prospects
or potential customers that you've come into contact with,
and send one of these simple emails.
8
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
9
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
So, go ahead and build a list of prospects and send out a su-
per simple email using the following formula.
“Hey (name), just looping back around, are you still inter-
ested in x?”.
Let me know :)
That's it, don't over complicate it and don't make it harder
than what it is. Send that email and I think you're going to
see amazing results.
Let’s get some quick win here and now let's move on to the
meat and potatoes.
10
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
By the time you get to the end of this book, you’re going to
be better than 99% of the businesses out there and you’re
going to be able to absolutely dominate the market space that
you're in.
Money loves speed, so let’s waste no time and dive right into
what you need to do to move the needle in your business.
11
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
So our goal here over the next few chapters, is to get you
great at marketing, because if you can get great at marketing,
your business will thrive.
12
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
So let's start out here with the very basics and get some foun-
dations laid that are prerequisite for success.
Now that might seem like a pretty simple question, but 99%
of people get the answer wrong.
13
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
For example:
14
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
their business, and then they wonder why they're not really
getting the results that they're looking for!
If you get nothing else out of the book other than this, and if
you implement this, you're going to see dramatic improve-
ments in your business.
I know there are other reasons to grow a business, but for the
purpose of this book, I'm just going to assume that you're
here because you want more money.
15
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
By the end of this book, you're going to have all of the in-
come generating activities you need.
That's all very important stuff, but if you can hand that off
to somebody else, if you can get that out of the way quickly
and not spend a huge amount of YOUR time on that and get
straight back to income generating activity, you're going to
see a massive improvement in your business simply from
these two steps.
16
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
You may behave in a way in the short term that’s not con-
sistent with your identity, but over the long term, we will
always behave in a way that is consistent with our internal
identity.

“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Now let's review these 5 P’s using the Pareto Principle or the
80/20 rule and see how you can significantly reduce cost and
increase productivity without spending the first dollar.
So what does that mean for us? Well, it means that 80% of
our clients are coming from 20% of platforms. 80% of our
sales are coming from 20% of our clients, 80% of revenue is
coming from 20% of products and 80% of products sales are
coming from 20% of promotions.
21
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
We're using the 80/20 rule to get straight to what works. This
book is not designed to be an exhaustive study of marketing.
It's designed just to be an effective study of marketing and
an effective use of strategies to get the results that you're
looking for.
22
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Let's start with products. Look at ALL the products you offer
and map out where the sales are coming from and the total
amount.
23
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
PEOPLE
PROMOTIONS
24
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
one side, list the promotions and on the other side list the
revenue that that promotion generated.
PARTNERS
It doesn't matter what it is, put down, all of the platforms that
you use to do your marketing and the revenue that each one
of those platforms has produced for you.
25
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
You'll also see that the vast majority of elements that are in
your business currently are actually not producing any reve-
nue, they’re an expense for you.
26
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
27
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
I n the last chapter you should have identified the most lu-
crative segments of your business, if you haven't done
that yet be sure to go back and do that exercise now because
in this chapter we're going to start to create a marketing plan
that allows you to target your most lucrative customers.
28
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
In this chapter I'm going to share with you the most profita-
ble business model that allows you to access your five-star
prospects representing your 80/20 products.
Now, one of the biggest mistakes you can make, it's a fatal
flaw and it will guarantee that you fail is….When asked the
question who's your target market? They say everybody,
29
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
So let's talk about the model that is the most successful, the
one that works the best, and the one that we're going to im-
plement. So to do that, we need to understand primary and
secondary markets.
I say primary and secondary market but you could say pri-
mary and secondary product.
30
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
And then once we do that, and we've got their attention from
that, we want to over deliver.
Every business has that problem and it's generally a very ur-
gent, very pressing issue for those businesses. So if I can
help solve that problem very quickly, then that creates a
huge amount of Goodwill and it opens up my secondary
31
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
You have to invest into it for a while before you get anything
out. So it's very difficult to get people interested in that. I
essentially have to ask them to spend a lot of money without
32
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
It's very hard to sell that to somebody that Goodwill has not
been established with. So as you can see, the iceberg really
represents the revenue that's available within the business.
33
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
That was the primary market and the brand was something
like “The Fencing Guys". All of the marketing was directed
towards a fencing company and the brand was built around
fencing, which you'll see why in just a minute as we continue
through this.
34
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
35
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
36
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Not only that, we'd say, hey, if you don't mind, could you
tell your friends about us if you think we did a great job, if
you know anybody who needs a new roof, if you know any-
body who needs a driveway, if you know anybody who
needs some landscaping, please tell them about us would be
really great if you could help us get the word out.
37
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
38
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
39
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
So here's the goal here. Hopefully you can see that you need
to pick a niche as a primary market. You need to pick one
point of entry.
40
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
In the next chapter I’m going to share with you more why
specializing in a primary market is super profitable.
41
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
There are two main elements that are critically important and
those elements are product, price and positioning.
42
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
I'm going to talk about services specifically here but this ap-
plies equally to products.
Not only do the fees increase with each level of the pyramid,
the desirability to work with that particular person also in-
creases. For example, the desire to visit with a celebrity doc-
tor is significantly higher than the desire to visit with a gen-
eral practitioner.
The more specialised and more niched your business is, the
easier it is to climb the pyramid of pay and to move closer
to celebrity status.
43
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Now take that one step further, do you want to see a cancer
specialist or do you want to see a liver cancer specialist?
I'm sure if you're like most people you want to see the best
liver cancer specialist. Let’s assume you found two liver
cancer specialists, and both of them give you the good news
that they’re able to help you. Specialist A offers a solution
costing $65,000, Specialist B offers a solution costing
$4,000.
44
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Why is that?
Because when the results matter, the price matters, and the
higher the price the more chance there is of making a sale.
45
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Now I understand organic corn and regular corn are not the
same product at all but I'm referring to appearance here.
46
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
47
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
48
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
49
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
There are two ways we can do this, the first is to target pro-
spects who already consider this a priority, the second way
to make your service a priority for them is through educa-
tion.
50
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Now let's look at another woman who's also 42 years old but
this woman is single and she's looking for love. Her greatest
desire is to find love, companionship, connection and happi-
ness and she also associates her cosmetic dental issues as
being something that will stop that from happening.
51
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
This means that sales were 20 times greater for the same ad-
vertising cost.
But for now let’s look at another example of how to use ed-
ucation to create prioritisation.
52
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
53
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
54
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Thinking out of the box and digging deep into who your
product or service is a priority for is a game-changer. Effec-
tiveness will increase and cost will decrease.
55
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
56
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
57
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
The reason for this is that any business owner that's been
trading for more than 12 months has been through at least
one tax cycle and has most likely engaged an accountant to
file their taxes.
58
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
59
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Let me share with you some more examples of how this can
work.
60
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
As you can see the targeting here is three layers deep. For
the ad to be shown to somebody they have to;
1. Be a Business Owner
2. Be interested in Social Media Marketing and
3. Be interested in attending live events.
61
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
62
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Let's say you have an online baby store, we can target people
who have just had a baby and are engaged online shoppers
in the past 30 days, meaning they’ve spent money online in
the last 30 days. We can then show those people adverts for
our online baby store knowing that they are interested in
baby clothes and equipment and they also have a habit of
spending online.
63
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
64
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
So let's take a little bit of time now and dive into exactly why
a Landing Page is so effective and why you must use them
in your business.
65
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
You’re left standing there very confused and not really sure
what to do next. You know you’re at the right place but you
feel very uneasy and not comfortable at all.
66
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Now imagine the same scenario but this time instead of be-
ing dropped at the door and left to fend for yourself, some-
body opens the taxi door for you and says to you “Are you
Mr X? Then follow me. I’m here to help you make your jour-
ney”.
They tell you that they’re going to take you to the check-in
desk where you’ll give them your bags and then walk you to
the departure lounge. They tell you where to go, what to do
next and everything you need to safely and comfortably
make your journey.
Well, the home page of a website is much like the first sce-
nario, all of the information you need to make your trip is
there but it’s often confusing and doesn’t really guide the
user. It’s simply a big map or menu.
Think of the airport again, you get out of the taxi and some-
body hands you a map and walks off, that map contains what
you need but unless you know where you’re going that
map’s pretty useless to you. It only adds to your overwhelm
and stress.
67
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
catch your plane, follow me, I’m here to guide you through
this”.
The home page simple hands you a map and walks off!
I’m hoping you can see the difference here. So let’s break
this down to the individual elements that make a great land-
ing page.
The landing page has one job and one job only, to make con-
versions. It isn’t good because it’s pretty, it isn’t good be-
cause it’s clever, it isn’t good because your best friend told
you it’s good.
It’s good if it makes money and nothing else. This is the only
metric a landing page is measured by (by savvy marketers at
least, there are plenty of broke marketers that use other met-
rics).
68
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
If the headline was wrong, “Are you Mrs Y going to Las Ve-
gas”, we could never have performed our job. Mr X would
respond “no”. We simply asked the wrong question to the
right person.
69
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Clearly state what you’re offering and who it’s for. Concrete
language is our friend, abstraction is the enemy.

Let me share with you a basic formula that will work for
every business and product...There a several more formulas
but this is a great start.

“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
• The first time, people look at any given ad, they don’t
even see it.
• The second time, they don’t notice it.
• The third time, they are aware that it is there.
• The fourth time, they have a fleeting sense that
they’ve seen it somewhere before.
• The fifth time, they actually read the ad.
• The sixth time, they thumb their nose at it.
• The seventh time, they start to get a little irritated with
it.
• The eighth time, they start to think, “Here’s that con-
founded ad again.”
88
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
89
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
I'm sure you can probably relate to this through your per-
sonal experience where you’ve initially had minimal interest
in a product, but after repeated and ongoing exposure, the
interest slowly grows until you finally make the decision to
purchase.
90
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”

“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
You can reach a prospect once for $10 or 50 times for $11!

Had that first Furniture store collected your details and fol-
lowed up with you periodically over the next 18 months, the
chance of you making your purchase from that initial store
would have increased dramatically.

The real estate agent who gathers the contact details of eve-
rybody viewing an open house, and then sends those people
emails every week, showcasing similar homes for sale in the
area is exponentially more likely to make a sale than the real
estate agent who simply relies on newspaper advertising to
send people to open homes and nothing more.

You may have experienced this for yourself in the past when
you visited a website, and then all of a sudden, ads from that
business start to appear everywhere, it's like they’re follow-
ing you around the internet.
97
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
98
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
As you can see, these are very personal adverts that speak
specifically to the person directly, and as a result, the re-
sponse rates and conversion rates are extremely high.

When done right, cold email can be one of the most effective
ways to reach your client base while at the same time being
one of the least expensive or even free.
So far in this book, I’ve mostly shared with you the strate-
gies required to grow your business without going into great
details as to the specific tactics involved. In this chapter, I’d
like to give you some very specific tactics that you can use
and start generating business immediately.
102
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Don’t be tempted to skip any of the steps as they are all re-
quired. I would also highly recommend trying this “As Is”
before changing it.

Figure out the ONE BIGGEST outcome you offer and focus
exclusively on that.
Don’t try and tell them everything that you do and hope they
are interested in one of them...that will never work and is a
HUGE MISTAKE.
107
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
1. Can I help?
2. Are you still interested in (biggest outcome)?
3. Person's Name
4. Person's Company Names
108
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Step 1:
Simply ask the prospect if they have capacity for more of the
outcome you provide.
109
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
For Example…
--------------------------------------------
Hey Bob,
--------------------------------------------
“YES...Of Course!”
Example…
--------------------------------------------
110
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
Hey Bob,
--------------------------------------------
Hi Bob,
111
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
--------------------------------------------
“If you’re interested, just ping me and I’ll give you some
more details”.
--------------------------------------------
That’s it!
112
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Adding a link can cause even more distrust and is just not
advisable at all.
113
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Firstly, it’s a legal requirement that you offer a way for pro-
spects to “opt out”.
114
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Now this is the part where you can easily snatch defeat from
the jaws of victory.
Keep in mind people are busy, they forget, things get on top
of them...It doesn’t mean they’re not interested!
115
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
Think about it...have you ever had an email you were inter-
ested in and intended to reply to but it just sat in your inbox
because you were busy?
--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------
116
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
If you can’t turn that into all the business you could ever
want...I don’t know what to tell you!
Simply set up how many emails you would like to send each
day and the times you would like to send...the rest is taken
care of for you.

In Conclusion…
Don’t let people tell you it’s too direct or this doesn’t
work...they don’t know what they are talking about.

1. Email Marketing
120
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
One of the easiest ways to get started with finding more cus-
tomers is through email marketing.
It's easy to get started, it's very cost-effective and it's an ef-
fective way to start generating new business.
2. Direct Mail
The big advantage to direct mail is that very few people are
actually using it these days which makes it a blue ocean op-
portunity.
121
“ Th e 90 D ay Mark e ting P lan ”
The key to success with Direct Mail is making sure that you
sent a personalised mail piece to the correct person.
3. Facebook Ads
For example, you’re able to target people who have just had
a baby, which is great if you're selling baby products.
