Niche Marketing… Target Marketing… Vertical Marketing…

These are not a new concepts to you. BUT, are you truly leveraging the substantial power of niche marketing to find more clients to serve, more revenue to generate… and more dollars in your bank account?

If someone promoting their product or service asks me “What keeps you up at night?” one more time I’m going to go on a rant. Okay… too late. I’m on that rant now.

STOP asking weak “platitude questions” that don’t further the conversation, provide value, or grab your prospect’s interest.

Our brains are processing thousands of pieces of information every minute. And this, by the way, consumes a tremendous amount of energy. One way our brain attempts to minimize its energy consumption is by always asking the question, “Is this relevant? Do I need to pay attention to this? No? Great. What about this? A threat? An opportunity? And so it goes every waking minute of our lives.

I submit, therefore, that the most important ingredient in getting and keeping someone’s attention is relevance.

Brian asked me, “What does it take to turn clients who occasionally refer you, into true advocates for your business? Are Advocates just wired that way, it’s in their DNA or is there something we can do to create more Advocates.”

My answer was simple: “Yes and yes.”

Some people seem to come into this world looking for ways to provide value to others by advocating for products and services they like.

And some people are right on the edge of becoming Advocates, but haven’t stepped into that world yet. They need a little more information and they need a little nudge.
