Identifying Your Target Audience

4 April 2022

I often hear “we can do business with anyone!” and the client is usually really pleased with this response as they believe they must have a huge number of opportunities. Of course, it’s actually one of the worst responses we want to hear as it usually means the client hasn’t thought about how they can communicate with the diversity within the audience. Whilst it may be possible that you can deal with anyone, the most important thing to do is to segment down the data or identify a specific target market that you would like to approach, by doing this you can then create communications that are more relevant to the audience that you are targeting.

t’s no surprise with all the negativity around that businesses are starting to reduce their spend on everything and that means your business is likely to be getting squeezed too.

The easiest way of getting new business is from existing customers, they trust you and you are on their systems already, so it’s easy for them to work with you too. Can you resell to them? Can you introduce them to new products or services? Visit them, email and call them today and you will start to see results.

Working On Your Business

31 August 2022

I talk with a lot of business owners about how much time they spend on their business, and you will be surprised that the vast majority of business owners and leaders spend virtually no time on their business, except maybe when they are doing a budget or a forecast for the bank or accountant. It’s obviously very important to get a balance between working in and working on your business as clearly if you spend all your time thinking up great ideas but not actually executing them, then you’re not going to get the right results. I often liken it to getting into a helicopter and getting up high and above the business, this way you can see the overview of exactly what is happening in your business.

Do you want to get to number 1 on Google for your services?

19 July 2021

Do you want to get to number 1 on Google for your services? A lot of companies claim they can do this for you, but the truth is most are just lying. So, what is the secret? There are no short cuts, and the first thing is: Your Website Google will search your website to see how well it matches the searches that are being made on it. There are potentially millions of search returns that Google can give to the person searching for a service, so why will it show your services?

Circle Of Trust

6 January 2022

Social media for me closes the circle in the circle of trust. Potential customers are looking at your digital footprint and then making buying decisions based upon what they see.

Are you struggling to keep up with your social media?

18 November 2021

You need to start to create posts that are relevant to your audience. Here are some posting ideas: • Video testimonials from your customers • Before and after images • Educating posts about your services • New services & product launches • Inspiring posts • Project images • Market / industry information

Considering Your Vision

10 November 2021

When you are thinking about marketing the very first thing you need to consider is your vision. What vision to do you have for your marketing and what outcomes are you looking to achieve. These need to be interlinked with your sales activities, for example you would like to sell more widgets, then these widgets need to be part of the marketing campaign.

When was then last time you looked at your website as if you were a potential customer?

26 November 2021

As with social media, your website should be bringing in enquiries to your business, and it should be giving off powerful messages about business too. Trust, experience, capability and that you exist and are ready to do business right now.

Do your customers know all the products and services that your company provides?

14 October 2021

You might think so, but your customers will pigeonhole you as a provider of “x”. Therefore, its vitally important you keep your customers informed about all your services, not all at the same time but one service/product at a time and keep regularly communication the benefits of these services.

Is your website communicating with your CRM? With technology today it is possible for a huge amount of data to cross between your website and your CRM. Why is this important? Data is king and understanding the performance of your website is critical to understanding how you can get the optimum value from it.

Improving Your Conversion Rate

28 October 2021

Would you like to improve your conversion rate from enquiry through to customer? The first thing you need to do is understand your current conversion rate. Quite simply, this is the total number of enquiries into your business divided by the total number of customers that came from those enquiries. This is called the conversion rate. Industry averages vary on the conversion rate, but the range is between 20% - 25%. Yes, that’s just around less than a quarter of enquires end up as customers. This sounds like a disastrous number and certainly it’s nothing to be proud of.

Get ahead of the curve today, don’t delay.

7 July 2021

One of the key things to keep a business continually growing is having a marketing machine working in the background. That doesn’t mean you need to have a team of people, but it does require that your creative output and communication stays ahead of the curve, and you are not constantly getting behind and chasing your tail. Do you think Coca Cola get up in the morning and think “What shall we post today?” Of course not, in fact the bigger the corporation you will find the further ahead they are planning just because of the logistics in the delivery.

Does your brand need an evolution or revolution?

9 July 2021

Does your brand need an evolution or revolution? This will depend on whether you have a clear understanding of your brands positioning. When you set up your business you may have had a different idea about the direction and now your brand doesn’t seem to represent you or your values.

Are you settling for modest Business Growth?

25 June 2021

Are you settling for modest Business Growth? It’s funny because the majority of business owners want significant business growth but don’t make significant changes in their approach to get different results. We all know the saying coined by Albert Einstein “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results” Be honest with yourself, is that you? Do you need a game changer?

Are you machine gun marketing?

7 May 2021

Are you machine gun marketing? You may be getting some results but for sure you will be overspending on your marketing budget and worse you could be looking desperate. Put down your machine gun and start to segment out your prospects and customers and identify the audience for your marketing messages. If you’re sending to prospects, then understand how to message them. • 3% ready to buy • 7% might buy soon • 30% would like to buy but not right now • 30% not interested • 30% never will be interested

Are you in danger from “The One” or indeed “The Special One”.. Sorry Jose

14 April 2021

Are you in danger from “The One” or indeed “The Special One”.. Sorry Jose One is a very risky and dangerous place to be in many respects: • 1 Major customer • 1 Major supplier • 1 Salesperson • 1 Method of lead generation So being aware of the risk is important but obviously if you can take action to change the risk then this automatically makes for more sustainable business. In the examples above, actually starting to increase the number of ways you generate leads and enquiries for your business can impact on all of the other three areas. More leads, equals more customers, equals more salespeople and that in turn can lead to the ability to have more suppliers.

True or false: SEO is dead…

24 March 2021

True or false: SEO is dead… In terms of trying to get to the top spot on Google then yes, SEO is completely dead. Kaput. Beyond the veil. It’s bitten the dust. The reason being, the top 4 spots are for Google Ads only and they are the spots that generate the biggest revenues for businesses. There are however, some basic things you could be doing to improve your ranking. Google uses a system known as PageRank, named after Larry Page Co-Founder of Google.

How is your focus?

20 March 2021

How is your focus? Unsurprisingly, when we really focus, we achieve our goals. However, we just don’t focus on the big business issues enough. Therefore, we don’t perform as well as we could even though we know it’s our focus that’s ‘out of focus’. A simple fix is to establish our goals, write them down and stay focused on achieving them. With a 90-day plan, we encourage ourselves to focus daily on those goals.

Roadmap out of lockdown.

10 March 2021

So, what are the most important personal skills we need in business?

16 March 2021

So, what are the most important personal skills we need in business? For me it’s very boring but organisation and discipline are vital for everything else to function properly. There is no point having great ideas if you lack the discipline to execute them. Being organised allows you to manage your time properly and see the important business issues. Without organisation, these can slip through the net.

Are you happy with your enquiry to sales conversion rate?

How do you really reach the top spot, on Google?

8 March 2021

How do you really reach the top spot, on Google? Unfortunately, SEO won’t cut it as the top four spots are always paid for. So, if you are going to pay, it’s essential you look at and understand what the return on investment will be.

Where is your 2021 business plan right now?

5 March 2021

Where is your 2021 business plan right now? Is it in a drawer gathering dust? Perhaps it’s saved as a spreadsheet somewhere and you’ve not opened it once since you created it? We are creatures of habit and even with the best intentions, we are unlikely to start reviewing our performance against a new plan and maintain that for a whole 365 days.

Is your social media not feeling very social at the moment? Are you finding it hard to sell?

24 February 2021

Is your social media not feeling very social at the moment? Are you finding it hard to sell? If so, have a look to see if you are implementing the 5/2 system or are all your posts looking for the hard sell?
