An Object In Motion Tends To Stay In Motion

If there is any truth to this title, then I suppose it is in our best interest to get a few of our prospects and customers moving in the right direction.

Today, my plan is to introduce a system that is designed and proven to do just that. It is affectionately known as the 2-Step Marketing System, and you can virtually take this strategy to the bank.

This is a non-intrusive way to get “interested” prospects in your particular marketplace to raise their hand, indicating a genuine interest in your product or service. The system happens to be as old as dirt itself, but like everything that is good and logical, it still works today like a charm.

Here are the steps involved in The Two-Step Marketing System:

  • Develop a working database. (Not too big.)
  • Compile useful information that your prospects need, want, wish they had, and are interested in. My favorite “container” for this information is a Special Report, or White Paper. (Easy to read and inexpensive.)
  • Offer this information to your list (via email, snail mail, postcards, or you can drop leaflets from the Goodyear Blimp).
  • Send information when requested along with a fine-tuned sales letter.
  • Follow up the inquiry until one of three things happen:
    • They die.
    • You die.
    • They threaten to call the cops.

That is all there is to it. This is known as The 2-Step Lead Generation Program. It works for me, and it will work for you.

Don’t derail yourself by thinking that the information piece is beyond your capabilities. A simple checklist or Top Ten List will serve the purpose just as well. This is a working example of how the “Give Before You Get” business philosophy works. It also sets up The Rule of Reciprocity very nicely. Try it. It will work to your benefit.

A prospect in motion tends to stay in motion. This strategy will help them start moving. The rest is up to you and your attention to detail.
