(1) Define Your Perfect Customer

We can choose the right sales strategies without knowing exactly who we’re going to sell too. Think about it, who would be most likely to buy your product or service? Customer avatars are a great starting point to identify who your perfect customers are.

Make sure you’re asking the right questions.

Are they male, female, or both?
Are they children, teenagers, or adults?
What type of education do they have?
What type of income do they make?
Did they go to school? College? Degree?

(2) People Buy Benefits, Not Products

This one is great for giving you the clarity you need to focus on the right “copy” for your product or service. After all, people don’t buy products, they buy the results your product or service delivers.

This exercise is simple, just write down all the benefits your product or service gives customers. Once you have the list, make sure you’re using it!

(3) Give Clarity Around The Big Problem

What big problem is your customer trying to solve? If you’ve been able to build your customer avatar, you should know exactly what this big problem is.

In some cases, the problems are obvious. If you break your hand, you know what the problem is and you know you need to get to a doctor to solve it.

In other cases, the problems are not obvious and clear. For example, let’s say you’re trying to grow your business and you don’t know what to do next. You sign up for a webinar and you learn your messaging is off and you need to change it to attract new clients.

Now, if the customer doesn’t realize they have a problem, they’re not going to buy your product or service.

(4) Using Powerful Presentations

Presentations are a great way to educate your market on the products and services you offer.

From Zoom calls and webinars to in-person events, there’s a lot of different ways you can present powerful content to your perfect clients.

Google is the biggest search engine in the world, it controls over 60 percent of all global searches. This is why Google SEO is a necessity.

There’s a lot of different SEO ranking factors, but if you focus in on the most important, you can see substantial ROI from your SEO investment.

(7) Your Competitive Advantage

Why should I choose your product or service versus another? You’d be surprised by how many business owners can’t answer this.

Let me help you with this because it will be huge to your business.

Your competitive advantage should be the results, outcomes, and benefits you can deliver to your clients.

In your marketing, communications, and sales, you need to articulate this. You need your prospects to vision living this outcome, benefit, result.

In return, it can also discuss the benefit, result, and outcome they won’t enjoy if they choose a competitor over your product/service.

(8) Your Sales Message

Since we’re on the topic of sales and messaging, you better have a clear sales message.

You just learned you want your marketing, communications, and messaging to focus on what?

Outcomes
Benefits
Results

Can you have multiple benefits, results, and outcomes? Absolutely! When you do, it changes the way you need to communicate to a customer.

If my product/service helps you X10 your company sales, what are the benefits?

More sales, more revenue
Less financial stress
More customers, more opportunities

In my sales message, these are 3 benefits but each needs a specific message.

When you have multiple results, outcomes, and benefits, it requires you to have multiple sales messages to give your prospects clarity on that specific benefit.

(9) Get Them Through The Door

How can you get the attention you need from your prospects?

You give them value without asking for anything in return.

Your prospects are more likely to buy your product/service if you give them the opportunity to try it for free.

If you’re a SAAS company, you could offer a free 14 day trial.

If you’re a digital marketing agency, you can give them a strategy that will help them find 5 new customers.

You want to make sure it’s valuable and needed, think about something you can give them that’s going to help them take steps forward.

Once you have their attention, you’ll have the opportunity to articulate why your products and services are better.
