An excerpt from Blair Singer's book, "Little Voice" Mastery.
"Have you ever asked yourself: "Am I doing the right thing? Why am I doing this? Why am I pushing these people so hard? Is this the right thing to do? Is this the right time to be doing this? Does this sound familiar? It should. Every great business owner, teacher, or parent that I have ever encountered has had a natural tenancy to question him or herself. They've been able to step outside of themselves to address and manage the little voice inside. Yet it's one thing to be introspective and another to over-analyze and wallow in the mire of indecisiveness. That's little voice management stuck in the swamp. Therefore, there is a second key to their greatness: In the face of doubt... take action anyway! Sure, fear comes up. Sure, you doubt yourself. Sure, you question yourself. But there comes a time when you have to have enough little voice control to override the questions and simply take action anyway. Without movement, there is only theory and speculation....no ability to experiment, test, and correct. Yet, not everybody chooses that path. Many simply go into "unconscious mode," complaining about how they have no control, how they are simply victims of what is happening around them. Never once do they ask themselves, "Is this the right thing to do? What is the value of taking on this challenge? Why am I so afraid? What would be the benefit of going for it?" In business, this can mean the difference between playing a big game or a very small one. If you choose to think like the average employee, you will see yourself as being at the mercy of your boss, the economy... everything. You merely live a life in which you do as you're told. At that point, you surrender your power and truly become a victim."

In sales one of the first strategies people employ is to blanket their market with sales letters or e-mails in attempt to single out the most interested parties. This is a fine idea, but it is incredibly important to make sure that your sales letter is exciting before you spend money to distribute it. If the letter is boring, confusing or unappealing your campaign could cost you dearly. Some sales letters really grab your attention. Some go directly into the trash. Below are 10 steps outlined by Alexi Neocleous that will make your offer too good to refuse. Step One: Be sure you have completed your market research. You should know who your ideal client is and what problems you are helping them solve. Step Two: Go out and collect models to put in your own "swipe" file. Keep sales letters that have caught your attention. You should always copy successful models. Step Three: Create, or better yet copy, a great headline that stands on its own. Magazine covers and news articles have great examples of enticing headlines. Step Four: Create, or swipe sub-headlines. Be sure they too are in "caps." These headlines should follow the initial "grabber" headline and draw your customer into the body of the letter. Step Five: Start with "Dear Friend" and then mention the market's massive problem or list your benefits. Step Six: Don't be afraid to add an extra "eye-catcher" or "grabber." Use a bolded headline to break up a large body of text and keep your customers eyes moving. Step Seven: Get straight into the offer at this time. What are you selling, what's the deal, how can you solve the problem? Step Eight: Address the offer so the prospect fully understands why you are sending the offer to them. Be brutally honest and close the first page on a "cliff hanger." Step Nine: Make sure you have included headlines throughout with bold print, key points. Let the key points pull the reader through the letter. Step Ten: Add a benefit's list. Put the dollar signs in their eyes. Articulate the benefits in a specific manner. Then explain the reason why the benefit is good. Testimonials are effective here as well. "Don't forget that you are here to solve the client's problem. This process is not about you. It is about your client." - Alexi Neocleous Also remember to respect your customer. Don't insult their intelligence by trying to be sneaky, just be honest and excited about the benefits of your product or service.

"Greatness doesn't happen by chance, nor does it occur in a vacuum. Greatness comes from, first, a passion for what you do; and second, a clear understanding of what you can and want to be best at. The third component involved in any great story about someone going from rags to riches, overcoming adversity, achieving success in any area of life is a personal Code of Honor, a set of personal rules and agreements that they are unwilling to compromise. Do you have a Code of Honor for you? What are your rules? To what do you hold yourself accountable? Who the heck are you? You see, because when all the smoke clears, they can take away your money, your possessions, your friends and even your health, and what you are left with is your honor. In those terms, what is your Code of Honor? I have found that the most powerful people are not always found on the cover of Newsweek, Fortune Magazine or Sports Illustrated. Sometimes they may be sitting in the office next door. They are those who have decided in life to take a stand about who they are, what their standards are and who the want to be without regrets. My suggestion is this: If you haven't don so already, sit down and look at your financial life, your health, your relationships and your values, and create your code. What are you willing to commit to for yourself and your family? What do you stand for?" Try this exercise. Answer each of the following questions in the form of a list: What am I most passionate about? What can I be best at? What do I want to be best at? What do I stand for? What do I want out of life? How can I achieve my goals? Who do I know that has what I want (or admire?) Why do I admire them? What do I see as unacceptable behaviors for successful people? What do I dislike? What would I like to avoid? What are my necessities in life? What should every person try at least once before they die? Can you think of any more questions? Use your answers to begin to form your personal code. Once you have your code you will find a new level of focus and a more defined path to achieving your life goals. For more about creating a Code of Honor please refer to Blair Singer's book, The ABC's of Building a Team That Wins or his Code of Honor Training Kit. |
