Working Successfully With An Indecisive Prospect

When it comes to making a proposal or pitch to deliver your product or service to a prospect, remember that the question is not just the answer; the question is the cure. Keep in mind that the one asking the question actually controls the conversation. So find out early if the person you are speaking to can actually make the decision to purchase the product or service you seek to provide.

For some decision-making is not something they can do solo; they must go to someone else, a partner, manager or someone higher up in the company, in order to make up their own minds. Rather than dismissing such prospects, treat these customers with a greater degree of care since they are no doubt already uncertain, possibly insecure and maybe in a little over their heads.

In this increasingly complex world, many businesses practice a division of labor, especially where purchasing goods and services is concerned, and particularly when money is tight and times are tough.

Let's imagine such a scenario. Albert, your prospect, has been listening to the options you have outlined and now says one of three things:
• "I need to think about it."
• "I'll have to talk to my manager about that."
• "That's awfully expensive (or a big project). I can't make that kind of decision independently."

In the first example, Albert has elected to share very little information. Understand, he is actually telling you a great deal, namely that he's too uncomfortable to share the actual objection or that there may be a third party involved. That's a tip-off that a greater degree of trust is necessary before any disclosure about the real issue can take place.

The second example shows that Albert is revealing his dilemma and not just brushing you off, so don't brush off his remark. Although you and have spent time getting to know him and his business, and presenting your information in his style, it's now time to find out more about his manager. In the third scenario, an actual objection is stated -- it's expensive, or time consuming -- and Albert tells you he needs help with the decision. Knowing the objection and that another person is involved in the decision makes it a great deal easier to proceed.

In all three examples, your concern is how to encourage the person who isn't present to consider your proposal. Your job is to give Albert, your walking, talking marketing tool, the opportunity to send a beneficial and acceptable message to the person who will make the final decision.

So what do you say to Albert? "In addition to you, is there anyone else who might influence the decision?" Or, "Besides you, is there anyone who might also be interested in the proposal we're discussing?" Neither question demeans Albert, exploits his indecision or forces his hand in any way. It's a natural outcome of the conversation expressed with curiosity. What might the prospect reply? "Yes, my manager (or company owner, etc.)"

Your next question should be: "What might his or her concerns be about this proposal?" Or: "What is it he or she might want to know about this product or service?"

You can never know until you find out more, and you can only find out by asking with care, concern, respect and non-judgment. The more information you can find out about your prospect's concerns and objections, the more material you have at your disposal. The art of persuasion is nothing more than building a roadmap that establishes value and integrity for the product or service.
Many individuals simply can never say "yes" to anything. Structure your presentation or pitch so you make it easy for the indecisive customers to do what you want them to do, and hard for them to do what you don't want them to do.

Not All Promo Products Are Created Equal - How to Avoid Costly Mistakes

By Rob Stillman

It goes without saying but not every promotional product will be the perfect fit for your marketing campaign. Those mouse pads may look cool but that doesn't mean your customers will think so. The best way to avoid making costly mistakes is to do your homework. This article will attempt to clear up some of the confusion surrounding promo products, as it directly relates to perceived value versus actual value.

The case of the typical online shopper

Let's say you got $500 to spend on branded ad specialty items (also known as promo products). So you jump on Safari and start searching for "eco-friendly promotional products." You click through the first couple of web sites that appear on the first page of Google and come across items you think will complement your direct mail campaign.

"My customers would definitely appreciate those eco-friendly pens made from corn plastic. It sends the right message. Wait...let me check. Ok. These pens are about the same price as its petroleum-based cousin. Actually, I come out ahead on this model. Looks good."

So you place your order online for a few hundred pens and it goes out in your mail package. Let's fast-forward to the day some of your customers open the package.

* Suzy Q. could use another pen, but she can't accept your gift due to strict company guidelines.
* Rob happens to be a writing instrument aficionado, so when he sees your corn plastic pen he isn't impressed. It quickly finds the recycling bin.
* Melissa absolutely loves the pen. She quickly anoints it as her favorite and religiously uses it every day. But before long she has a disappointed look on her face: the cheap pen just couldn't stand up to the rigors of daily use.

The anatomy of the gift

Suzy Q. - What are the chances an employee of a company cannot accept a gift as harmful as a pen? Believe it or not, some companies won't allow their employees to accept anything on behalf of a vendor...not matter the cost of the item.

Rob - Yeah guys like Rob do exist. Just because something is free doesn't mean it bears value in the recipient's eyes. This scenario is hard to plan for; Suzy's situation can be cleared up with a simple phone call before hand.

Melissa - This is what I have coined, 'The case of the crappy mouse pad.' Choosing bottom dollar promo products versus spending a little more coin can make the difference between a successful campaign and one that falls flat on its face. Giving someone a lesser quality item than what they already have - it could be anything from a mug to a mouse pad - does not make sense. It makes you and your business look bad. Anyway, the point of giving away promo items is to create multiple impressions each day.

How to avoid these costly mistakes

Before you incorporate a promotional product into your advertising mix you first have to take into consideration 5 components:
  • Gender preferences
  • Age
  • Lifestyle
  • Hobbies
  • Scope of work

Remember, as much as you would like to think you brand has the same reach as Starbucks or FedEx or McDonald's, it doesn't. Small business owners have to understand the promotional product you slap your logo on has to represent your company in the best light. Give away a cheap item and you will be perceived as cheap. And that may lead to the false belief that your business isn't run properly, even if your customer is wrong for thinking that. But you know the deal: perception is reality.

My advice is to seek the counsel of a professional, someone who assists businesses with the selection of promotional products that will generate the greatest ROI. If you decide to take me up on my suggestion, here are three ways you can tell if a distributor is looking out for your best interest from one that just wants to push profit-laden units.

3 sure-fire ways to tell if your supplier knows the advertising biz

* Emphasize offer not brand: Does your online supplier suggest you combine an offer with your branded promo item? If not, dial another one. Branded bait pieces work well in this instance.
* Get creative: Is your distributor lacking quality promo ideas? If he is qualified there should be no shortage of ideas when it comes to eliciting a call to action, working in a USP, tagline or discount on the item. It is also important to consider choosing an item that is different, an inherently unique product that stands apart from what the competition is already giving away.
* USP: If you can clearly demonstrate how your product or service is different or better than the competition, and how this advantage benefits the customer, than you have what Rosser Reeves identified as a unique selling proposition (USP) in his book, "Reality in Advertising." Reeves stated that the benefit must not be trivial, but strong enough to motivate prospects to buy your product (or service) over others. Example: In an effort to keep customers loyal, a car wash might offer to clean your car for free if it has rained within two days of your car wash purchase. A tag line to that effect would be imprinted on a keychain so your USP is never forgotten.

"Must-Have" Social Media Profiles For A Great Marketing Campaign

Social media platforms are the most popular destinations on the Internet. It started with the personal profile phenomenon, quickly evolved into video sharing profiles and then the floodgates opened up. Now internet users--including small businesses--have more than 400 social media platforms to consider.

Business people need to develop a social media advertising formula, a mix of sites that business owners must have in order to run a successful social media advertising campaign. Each social platform plays a very specific role, and the combination of the sites below along with keyword optimization on these sites will take your social advertising campaign to the next level.

Today, AdXPress Imprints takes a look at three popular platforms and gives tips on how you can optimize your presence through the use of keywords.

Linked In:  A popular business profile site, LinkedIn ranks very well in search engines and is a great platform for sending event updates out to business associates. Tip: When optimizing your LinkedIn profile, select one core keyword (or search term you would like to be found under), use it frequently without sacrificing consumer experience and watch your profile skyrocket in the search engines.

Facebook:  This is the best choice if you want to have a personal profile online. However, optimizing your Facebook profile with your business keyword can make it an invaluable marketing effort. Tip: Optimize your Facebook profile for one keyword and become the “go-to” expert in your industry for the more than 500 million Facebook users. Also, include some personal touches, but beware of putting too much personal information online.


YouTube:  The main video sharing platform, YouTube is one of the best forums available to create a viral marketing campaign. From publishing client video testimonials to creating social proof of your abilities, YouTube videos are a great way to get other site owners to link to your website.  Tip: Each new video is a new opportunity to optimize for a different keyword. For each video, be sure to include your keyword in the title and at least once in the description section.

Tomorrow, AdXPress Imprints will look at two more social media platforms:   blogging and Twitter.

The world of promotional items

By: Ann Christopher

Promotional goods can be good marketing for your enterprise if done properly. Two types of people should receive your promo solutions, current customers and potential customers. Giving promo gadgets to everyone can be costly and not worth the effort.

Promo pieces should reflect your company. They should be useful and quality gadgets. Cheap items will make people look poorly upon your company. Promo gadgets that aren't useful won't be applied by your customers and will be a wasted effort. The pieces you choose should fit in well with your company. Try to think outside the box and give products based on your customer's unique needs. Giving rulers to mechanics and carpenters are functional. Giving pens and office supplies to those that work in an office are also useful. Giving needed gadgets to your customers shows that you understand them and value their time.

You also want to choose items that are long lasting. This will maximize your marketing efforts for your investment. If you give something consumable such as a notepad, you want to make sure that your customer can use it for a while before it runs out. This keeps your company name and image fresh in their minds and gives a good impression.

Nice marketing merchandises make a good impression for your company. The customer will feel appreciated and that their business is valued. This gives your customer a positive experience and when they think of your company, they will think of better of you.

Your advertising gifts should be targeting for potential customers. Giving promo items for people or companies that have no use for your product or service is a waste of time for you and them. You should know your target market and directly market to them with useful products.

The effect of your marketing campaign can be seen with promotional products. If you have a lot of face to face interaction with your customers, you will be able to see if your products are being employed. Since you determine who receives your promo solutions, you can compare the results with new orders and repeat orders. You can see how order size has increase in size and price or increased in frequency. When you give marketing gadgets to prospective clients, you can see how many have placed orders.

Promo solutions can be a very useful promotional tool for your small business if done properly. Remember that promotional solutions are gifts and you should keep your customer's needs in mind when selecting a product. Products that aren't useful will not be implemented and be a waste of time and money.

Why Freebie Products Are Cool

Promo products are great for any type of advertising. Freebie products are a very well known and well used form of advertising and marketing for corporations and individuals alike. It is a great way to "get the word out" of a specific merchandise or entire inventory of items for someone or some brand to promote and induce business. Many corporations use promo products in various ways. The main goal is to attract consumers to their business in hopes that the customer will take a look at other products and services that the organization sells and purchase those items. Promo items are also a good incentive for clients and establishes a good repport between the seller and the buyer. Typically, when a consumer gets a good deal on something, or even receives a product for free, then the user will spread the word to family and friends. This has a positive effect on the business as those family and friends who were informed of the brand will be inclined to give the organization a try themselves. A domino effect of good business relationships then ensues.


How Does A Organization Utilize Promo Products

Why Freebie Products Are Cool

Promo products are great for any type of advertising. Freebie products are a very well known and well used form of advertising and marketing for corporations and individuals alike. It is a great way to "get the word out" of a specific merchandise or entire inventory of items for someone or some brand to promote and induce business. Many corporations use promo products in various ways. The main goal is to attract consumers to their business in hopes that the customer will take a look at other products and services that the organization sells and purchase those items. Promo items are also a good incentive for clients and establishes a good repoire between the seller and the buyer. Typically, when a consumer gets a good deal on something, or even receives a product for free, then the user will spread the word to family and friends. This has a positive effect on the business as those family and friends who were informed of the brand will be inclined to give the organization a try themselves. A domino effect of good business relationships then ensues.

How Does A Organization Utilize Promo Products

Organizations who use promo products are very strategic about their promotions. They are very detailed in the way they deliver the product or items to the customer. For instance, when one enters a particular place of business, one may notice that promo merchandise are set up in front of the establishment and immediately presented to the client by very friendly and courteous representatives. For example, restaurants whom offer promo merchandise are strategically set up at the entrance awaiting consumers to offer them free samples of a particular food item. They may have a platter of finger food attached to toothpicks for an immediate try for the consumer in attempts of the customer buying more of that item. Places where there are plenty of competition usually use this strategy, like malls and food chains. One may almost be bombarded by a sea of restaurants reps offering a free food sample in hopes that the consumer eats at their place of business over the competitor next door. Conventions of merchants is another place where one will see promo merchandise being used. Places like a flea market of convention center where several vendors are set up will offer promo items to passing spectators to include them in business.

Promo products are also a good incentive for returning customers. The feeling of being rewarded for their business is what most customers want from a corporation and a free promo gift is a great way to not only show appreciation, but to also keep customers loyal to that place of business. Some companies even go as far as to offer promo items exclusively to returning customers. This also inclines others to "join the club" when they see the abundance of perks one whom is a returning and loyal consumer receives for their good business.

Promotional Products Are Worth the Investment

The main reason why free merchandise are very common today is because they are a great way to raise awareness about your merchandise. To be perfectly honest, the main means through which organizations exist and succeed is by getting the world out there to be aware of what they have, therefore encouraging them to sell their items. Most brands are firm believers in the more ‘modern’ ways of marketing like using TV commercials, the internet, radio, posters, banners, car stickers and so on. Freebie products, however, are one way that will probably outlive all those other methods of marketing.

Freebie products are merchandise used day to day by consumers that have the logo, information and merchandise of a certain organization. Some of these products are pens, t-shirts, books, calendars and other merchandise. The biggest advantage of these items, as mentioned before, is that they are for every day use. A corporation could, for example, print the name of its products, services, prices, contacts or any other vital information on a t-shirt and then find ways of distributing these shirts free to the world out there. As people walk around wearing these t-shirts as they carry out their activities, they are accidentally marketing that business.

Another great advantage that these items have is that they are inexpensive. The price of printing a huge advertisement that is only seen by motorists and people who live within its locale is probably the same as the cost of printing ten thousand t-shirts. The same applies to say, the cost of airing a TV commercial is the same as the price of buying and engraving a specific number of thousands of pens with the company's website. Considering the number of customers who get to see the look of your items, then by all means, it is a great investment when one wants to advertise their merchandise. It is essential to point out, however, that this is not to say that TV ads and outdoor advertisements and other freebie products are not good enough.

Finally, another large advantage that these free products have is their longevity. A billboard could be used for a month or two and then replaced by another, simply because it becomes quite costly to have them up for long times. A calendar, however, will stay on someone’s wall or desk all year, and if the product is attractive enough, it constantly attracts the attention of a number of probable consumers of the merchandise. So if a brand is looking for a beneficial way to promote their products, these three reasons, among others, should be enough to convince them.

Let's Get Motivated!

Leaders today, more than ever before, have to win people's cooperation. And there are two main ways of doing so:  motivation and inspiration. Although the two words are often used interchangeably, they actually mean quite different things depending on what you want to achieve.

Motivation is about moving people to act in a way that achieves a specific and immediate goal. When you're motivating people to do something they may not necessarily want to do, you have to offer them something they want in return.

When coaches give their teams a pep talk during halftime, they are using motivation. They want their players to charge back onto the field or the court with renewed energy and focus, even though they may be too tired or disheartened to try. Their reward? Victory.
  • Tell people exactly what you want them to do. Motivation is all about getting people to take action, so don't be vague. Avoid generalities like, "I want everyone to do their best." Say, instead, "I need you to come in over the weekend so we can get this project done on time." 
  • Limit the amount of time or effort that you're asking for. It's easier to ask people to work late work one night or even every night for a week than to expect them to work late indefinitely. Set an end date. 
  • Share in the sacrifice. Leaders don't ask people to do what they themselves aren't willing to do. Roll up your sleeves and share the load. 
  • Appeal to their emotions. People are also motivated by (and prefer to be motivated by) positive emotions such as excitement, pride, a sense of belonging and the thrill of achievement. 
  • Give people multiple reasons for doing what you want them to do. You can give your own reason or the organization's reason for requesting the action. "If we don't get this project completed on schedule, we'll lose the contract." But the best reason of all is always personal. It would be nice if you could give your people extra days off or even a bonus.

Continue client loyalty with executive gifts for 2011

Personalized executive gifts go a step further, offering not only quality, beautiful products that the recipient will appreciate and admire but also the ability to customize each executive item.

2011 is quickly approaching, and one of the best ways to ensure a continued profit into the New Year is to show customer appreciation, especially towards your loyal and important clients. Both big and small businesses should take a cue from Santa Claus and get in the gift-giving spirit this holiday season.

Studies have proven for years that advertising specialties are one of the most cost effective marketing tools available today, even compared to TV and print advertising. Personalized executive gifts go a step further, offering not only quality, beautiful products that the recipient will appreciate and admire but also the ability to customize each executive item so that it is a one of a kind gift. An aesthetically pleasing personalized design with your company’s name and logo will remind your clients to whom they can thank for such a thoughtful gift. Your consideration will make a great impact by showing that you invest in their continued business and know how to show your full appreciation for their loyalty.

Great executive gifts used to be difficult to find, but now many online advertising specialty businesses like www.adxpressimprints.com make the search easier by grouping their highest quality products in a separate category for executive gifts, and offer customer assistance to help you choose the most appropriate product to personalize. Executive gift baskets are one of the most popular products ordered since they are pre assembled and contain a selection of different items. A specific theme unites the different items comprising executive gift baskets, such as the Now & Zen Basket with body wash, candles, green and chai teas, and many other soothing products. Humidors are another popular choice of executive gift, as are crystal products such as wine carafe sets and vases; their luxury item status instantly impresses recipients, and the classic, timeless styles look even more impressive when you personalize them.

Even just choosing products made from high quality materials will give clients and important staff members a favorable opinion of your business; upgrading portfolios, computer bags, and briefcases to leather styles with your personalized embroidered logo turns a functional item into a gift fit for any executive!
