Not the other way around. I'll assume the reason you're being interviewed is to talk about your business. If that's the case... the interview will be easy, just tell your story when asked. Stay to the point, keep it brief. The interviewer will guide you. Relax... your own story should be very easy to recall and tell.

The previous answer was on point. For B2B Marketers... LinkedIn is what you need to master. However if you're a B2C Marketer... your prime prospects will be Women, and to reach them you better be on Pinterest. (more) The previous answer was on point. For B2B Marketers...

Well... I'd start by asking you why you're charging so little? That alone brings about suspicions on two levels. 1.)

I'd start by asking you why you're charging so little? That alone brings about suspicions on two levels. 1.) Your firm offers a low quality service and you're out to make a quick buck... or 2.) The service in general is grossly overpriced if your company can afford to discount it 90% and still be profitable. Mind you... I'm not saying either of those is the case... but those are the thoughts that popped into my mind.  You might be better received by only discounting your service by 10%... but use some of the increased revenue to include or giveaway something else of a high perceived value. Maybe their choice of fresh flowers for the office, because your service is like a breath of fresh air. Or a free pizza day might work well too. Be creative and cause a spectacule. Hire a company to come in and do foot massages at their desks, because you believe in treating your clients like royalty. Outrageous and ridiculous right? That's the idea! Your company will get talked about and never forgotten. Hope that helped.

(more) You need to be able to prove the demand for your product and offer an attractive profit margin for the Wellness Centers. However... the Centers will never give your products the marketing attention they deserve, simply because it's not their core business. Getting that deal approved will take many meetings and time. It might be more profitable for you to rent a small area (folding table & chair) in the center with the most members, offer samples and quickly build a customer list. Then move to the next center, rinse and repeat.  Even if you did that for a month per center, only on the busiest day per week... you could come away with hundreds of retail customers and a great residual income. You could then duplicate that system with your personal Reps, if your company works that way.

Just answering those two questions will put you on the path to "defining your audience" or your perfect prospect/customer. Once that's accomplished... I would focus on acquiring the "Contact Data" of people/consumers matching the profile of your perfect prospect/customer. Get as much matching Contact Data as possible.  Hopefully there are several million prospects/leads available for what you offer. The best Contact Data will include First & Last Name, Email Address and Mobile Phone Number. We have great success with a Direct Marketing approach that includes: 1.) A well crafted Cold Introduction Email, 2.) A Ringless Voicemail Message that informs them to look for your email. 3.) Your email should offer the potential benefits to be gained by viewing a short overview video (3 minutes or less) about your product/service. Your CTA (call to actions) should offer to answer questions by email, phone or text message. (their choice). And of course give them a payment button or link.  No matter what you offer... be prepared to reach out to a minimum of 5,000 prospects/leads per day. We can show you the most cost effective ways to do that type of volume. Hope that helps.

The first thing we all need to understand is that listening to sales presentations or introductions is not and should not be the priority of a business owner, specially not during prime time, or the typical business day. The formula that works the best for us is to 1.) Send a compelling introductory email, that also offers a few benefits of what it is you offer, combined with a request to send more information, such as a short video. The video should offer a way to schedule a phone appointment. 2.) Leave a Voicemail Message, that calls attention to the email you sent. If you're really serious about increasing your sales... be willing to do some phone appointments "outside" of normal business hours. Before 9 am and after 5 pm.

The subject line needs to speak to one of two things: 1.) A solution to a problem, I'm having... 2.) A goal or desire I wish to obtain or fulfill. Otherwise it get's deleted.

A solution to a problem, I'm having... 2.) A goal or desire I wish to obtain or fulfill. Otherwise it get's deleted. The body text needs to sell me on taking action within (3) fairly short paragraphs. If it doesn't quickly get to the point... I don't care what the original benefit promised was... I'm out, as in delete. The information cannot attempt to manipulate or convince me to act, with gimmicks such as Countdown Timers, Scarcity Tactics ex: (Only Two Left) How is that even possible with Digital Files? (smile) In other words... don't insult my intelligence. Just state what it is, what's the benefit and what's the price. If those things are all in line, and delivered quickly... I'll probably become a customer.

Yes I believe partnerships can be beneficial. They can get a company around, over or through most obstacles. Everyone involved should offer something of value to the partnership, something the other partner(s) lack. One partner must be a master of sales & marketing, without that... the whole thing will be a waste of time, money and energy.  Lastly... always put everything in writing and have all partners sign off on it. No "hand shake" contracts. (smile)
