If you are selling something you cannot strongly and fairly


No sense in mailing to a HUGE

list only to find out it bombs

When following up Test Small First Test small first so you don't
waste as much money
with customers Ask for them at
Anytime a customer says how other times as well
Without grabbing your prospects
great of a job you are doing Ask for them at point of sale attention nothing else matters because
they won't see/read anything else
Referrals Must grab attention
Give incentives to encourage
people to give you referrals
Attempting to get the sale
Another reason why you NEED to know on first contact
the lifetime value of each client/customer One step process
Just getting a small percentage of your
clients/customers to give you a referral
will dramatically increase your profits
Asking the prospect to
"raise their hand" first
Include small yellow label on outside inviting them to
call a toll free # to hear a free recorded message. This is done by offering a
Message just reinforces the benefits of the products, free report, free recorded
reassures them they made the right purchase, etc. Multi-step process message, etc.
Items That Are Packaged
Great way to qualify prospects
Send out mail to qualified lists
and weed out tire kickers
Follow up via e-mail to see if they
have any questions or need help
Direct Mail
Follow up with a letter to see if they Send a series letters
have any questions, need help and First letter

Follow up with a personal phone call to to the f irst letter
see if they have any questions, need "Final Notice" letter that ref ers
help and to reinforce the benefits Follow up with buyer soon
to the f irst two letters sent
after they have purchased
Make an irresistible offer
Use this as another opportunity to If your profits are more than
with a deadline
sell them something else (up sell) your print and mailing costs,
KEEP mailing
Return On Investment (ROI)
Use as an opportunity to is the most important number
Stick Strategies
ask for referrals
Business owners have gone broke on a 10%
Keeps you "front of mind" for when response rate while others have become rich
customers need the type of product with a .05% response rate
or service you sell in the future Don't focus too much on
response rates ROI is the only thing that matters
Offers a chance to give value and build
a relationship with your customers Nothing screams "junk"
Another opportunity to sell faster than bulk mail
your products or services Always use first class postage

Quarterly or longer don't work as well Always focus on the reader and not your company.
Monthly newsletters are best
People are always wondering "what's in it for me?"
Newsletter If y ou go this route, y ou
Email can work but they aren't as ef f ective. Best to send an offline newsletter, mine as well use the entire
