INTEREST1. ATTRACT

Attracting interest is focusing on the problems that your target customers are trying to solve, and then creating content (blog posts, free reports, podcasts, videos, etc…) that helps them to find a solution to their problems.

2. Capture LeadsOnce you have succeeded in attracting someone’s interest by placing content in a place where they will find it, the next thing you need to do is to capture their contact information; which, in most cases, is their email address.

3. Nurture ProspectsBuild a relationship with your prospect…

…by providing them with valuable information.

4. Convert Sales…the sale happened with very little “closing ability”

because prospects were already 99% of the way to the finish line before they ever booked the call

5. Deliver and Satisfy … if you are in a service business, how efficiently you deliver your services (or not) is going to have a massive difference on your profit margin, not to mention your client’s level of satisfaction – which will ultimately affect how many referrals they send you.

6. Upsell CustomersOnce you have a new customer, the fastest way to increase profits is to get them to buy more from you. In fact, the very best time to sell someone another product or service is right at the time when they are buying the first product or service.

7. Get ReferralsClients, if sufficiently impressed with you, will want to send you as many referrals as possible because doing so makes them look good.
