Good Business
|
The truth is that if you don't promote yourself and your business, no one else is likely to. In reality, no one else can do it as well as you do anyway because you know best what your strengths and advantages are. Peggy Klaus, motivator and author of the excellent book, Brag! The Art of Tooting Your Own Horn Without Blowing It, argues persuasively that at best, our failure to put our best foot forward makes us look worse than we really are, and at worst "careers, relationships, and opportunities languish as result." She maintains that only by letting others know what you can do well will you make the kind of "win-win" connections that successful people make all the time—using each other's skills to leverage everyone's success rate. One reviewer of her book, Susie Housley of Oak Ridge, Tennessee, agrees about the importance of selling yourself:
"Finding the right marketing technique to sell your skills is crucial. Survival is only for the fittest," she says.
Public Relations professionals have honed the art of promotion, but few small or home-based businesses can afford to hire them. We usually have to be our own public relations expert, so make it a point to learn how!
Don't forget to apply the concept of positive self-promotion to your resumé, as well as to your personal and business communications. Think about what you've done that has shown initiative, creativity, or skill. Remember that the skills you learned as a volunteer are just as valuable as those you learned in a paid position, so the responsibility you exhibited as treasurer of your church is a very marketable skill!
Promoting your business should be an ever-present mindset for the online business owner too. Opportunities arise daily for you to let others know about your online business. Be prepared to take advantage of these opportunities and to give prospects the added reassurance about the wonderful, real person behind the online presence.
The good news is that the skill of effective self-promotion can be learned, and there's no better place to start than with Peggy Klaus's book mentioned above and in the Sources below. Besides the hard copy, it is available as a digital audio download from Amazon.com for under $10. Ms. Klaus has an easy-going, fun-to-read (or listen to) style with lots of practical tips for things to do—and things NOT to do—when you're interacting with others. Her book dispels some old myths about self promotion and provides guidelines for developing your own, personal, effective style for self-promotion.
- Be determined to look for opportunities to put your best foot forward. This is a shift in mental attention that must be made consciously.
- Send press releases when you or your business has achieved a recognition or done something noteworthy.
- Make an accomplishment inventory list for yourself—personally and for your business. Think about everything potentially interesting about you to share with others. Use this to draw on for conversation and marketing copy. If you haven't given this some thought ahead of time, you won't have it available to you when the best opportunities arise.
- Use a customer newsletter to spread your "good news" in the form of product and service information.
- Make it easy for your customers to give testimonials and get their permission to use them. Using testimonials in your ads and on your Website is a powerful way to effectively promote yourself through the "voice" of others.
- Write and memorize an "elevator speech"—this is an introduction of yourself and your business that is so short and effective, it can be told to someone while riding with them on an elevator to give them a snapshot of your business.
- Ditch the apologetic attitude. Genuine pride in your skills, products and services—combined with an equally genuine commitment to problem-solving and customer service—will do more for your image than you can possibly imagine.

| I am woefully aware that there are literally millions more people dreaming of, or even trying to earn a living from the Internet, than there are actually doing it. These ambitious people are being misled severely. Not only are they being bombarded by millions of "get-rich quick" email messages and websites, they are being lured into trying all sorts of "web marketing" scams and schemes. What they are finding is that nearly all of the business opportunities, marketing plans and get-rich schemes not only fail miserably, but cost much more than they can afford. And every time one struggling entrepreneur falls victim to the hype or ridiculous claims, ten more are giving up their dream and writing the Net off as a waste of time. That's why this is a BBB business
and you should look for this BBB when looking for the right Business. Financial Freedom Society™is a Real Business with real people Helping people find Financial Freedom.

| Our Mission Hopes and dreams are being unnecessarily destroyed for millions of people around the world. Why? Because NOT ONE of us were ever taught in school how to effectively manage our money, or our time!
At best, this has robbed us of 10 to 20 extra years of financial independence - at worst it has resulted in poor financial health for millions, which has caused snowballing debt, bankruptcies, business failures, divorces in record numbers and it has destroyed the retirement dreams of millions.
Our mission is to help eliminate those social diseases by providing
affordable and essential training, tools and professional services to the masses.
Together, as members of the Financial Freedom Society, we have the power to
help millions to enjoy the blessings of excellent financial health.

- Our product is one that is needed by just about everyone, rich and poor.

Now, this is all just great, but where we really excel is in our team support. Your prospect needs to be aware that most people fail in this business because they don't know exactly what to do, how to do it, or when to do it! Most people end up having to figure things out on their own, and in the process, they become extremely frustrated and lose a lot of money besides.
In order to succeed, we need to know which way to go (Are training provides that for all of us) and we need to keep on marching ahead, even when we don't feel like it. Having a wonderful team of members spread out all over the country provides the necessary wisdom and motivation to keep doing that. We are able to accomplish together what none of us can do alone.
We have members all over the country, some highly experienced professionals, others rank beginners, and yet others at every stage in between. This is the real beauty of our team. No matter what our level of expertise, we can all learn and benefit from the experience of everyone else. As we see our team members advance, we have proof right before our eyes that this is happening right in our own backyard. That means that we can do it, too! This team enables me to "keep the faith" and that is the crucial ingredient in success. |
