Time Management

Time To Get Tough On Time Management

 

Let’s be honest, if you have spent any significant amount of time as a business owner or even learning about starting your own business then you have already most likely read numerous pieces on time management. If you have implemented them that’s great. If you haven’t then it’s time to stop wasting your time and get tough.

What are today’s top time killers?

1. Meetings
2. Phone calls
3. Email
4. Social media
5. Micro managing

 

Lengthy and unnecessary meetings can literally take down your enterprise from the inside. Do you really need in person meetings? You could potentially be burning the most productive hours of your week. Multiply that by everyone in your organization that is tied up in them. Unless you absolutely have to meet then you must not! If you really have to then have a strict agenda and outcome that you are going to achieve and ensure that something tangible that could not otherwise be achieved comes out of them.

The phone can be equally evil these days. In most cases there is really no need for you to use it. Don’t believe it? Time the number of minutes it takes you to have a phone conversation (including dialing, waiting on hold, calling back and all the etiquette) with sending an email. Again, unless the phone is the fastest or only way to handle something avoid it like the plague.

Email is now one of the biggest enemies of time management. Constantly checking your inbox or replying to multiple messages as they come in can kill your productivity. Which each email it could take your 5 minutes to get re-focused on the other tasks at hand. Refuse to check your email expect for 2-3 critical points in the day and only reply to emails either first thing in the morning or at the end of the day. Even better, hire a virtual assistant who can take care of email handling for you.

The same goes for social media. With smartphones more rampant than ever Tweeting and checking Facebook updates can burn hours everyday. Lock your phone in your office drawer while you are actually working if you have to. If you are worried about business outsource your social media management. You are either working on the most critical money making activities in your business or you are just playing.

If you really want to achieve better time management then start outsourcing right now if you are not already, and delegate every task that is not absolutely essential for you to handle personally. Be brutal with yourself when it comes to managing your time and it will pay off big in freedom and revenues.

Conversion Rates

5 Steps To Killer Conversion Rates

 

1. Boost Your Credibility

The higher your credibility the higher your response rates will be and the lower the resistance will be when you make live contact with prospects. In fact in many cases you will find that your positioning will create a long line of prospects eager and ready to do business with you, no questions asked. How to do it? Begin using press releases and submitting them to PRWeb and PRNewswire, build your LinkedIn profile, have a book ghostwritten and use video testimonials.

2. Streamline Your Business Processes

The less hoops your prospects have to jump through the higher your conversion rates will be. Using virtual assistants you can make sure every incoming call is answered by a live agent 24/7. Go further and use separate numbers on your individual advertising channels so prospects reach the team member who is most qualified to help them, and empower your employees to make decisions.

3. The A Or B Close

There should never be a question of acquiring your product or service or not. It should just be a matter of which option or how much. Make this more powerful by offering a simple choice between the ultra expensive full package or the free choice which helps push them further along your funnel.

4. Interactivity

This doesn’t mean being able to just click to watch videos or listen to podcasts. Every marketing avenue ought to enable your prospects to connect with you instantly. Calling or emailing a company when you expect to receive a sales pitch isn’t that attractive. So what about having your Twitter or Facebook accounts managed in real time so that prospects can get answers instantly through a much friendlier medium?

5. Never Stop Testing

Even if you have perfected your marketing campaigns and sales pitches for now trends are constantly changing. Never stop testing to stay ahead of the curve and always seeing the highest possible conversion rates. Hate pouring over your web analytics? Outsource it to someone else.

Press Release Marketing

• Company start up
• Product launch
• Adding new executives
• Launching a new website
• Releasing quarterly results
• Announcing an event
• Addressing current news or economic conditions

Distributing your press releases has become a breeze compared to the old days of sending out your copy to a multitude of media sources in hope that one might pick it up.

In terms of length you will want to make it at least 450 words, though avoid going to long which could take away from it’s effectiveness.

Last but not least don’t forget to include links back to your website to interested readers and journalists can find you and to improve your search engine optimization.

4 Hour Work Week

The 4 Hour Work Week, Is It A Myth?

 

Tim Ferriss, author of the ‘4 Hour Work Week’ may be one of the most well known pioneers of the new way of capitalizing on outsourcing to build Internet businesses that can almost run themselves. Still for many the idea of being able to run a business and making a living in 4 hours a week seems far too good to be true. So is the 4 hour work week a myth?

Far from it, there are now hundreds of entrepreneurs enjoying a whole new type of business model and starting new ventures on the web that require very little involvement at all. This doesn’t mean that you have to conform to one specific line of business either. It is all about online marketing, working smarter by using outsourced staffing and starting your business with the end in mind. In other words building a model that doesn’t need your hands on participation to operate on a daily basis. Some have created their own products and services while others have taken advantage of affiliate marketing. Of course any new venture in a new medium may take a little extra time to research and test. However once you get rolling you will find that you can easily spawn multiple businesses that can pretty much run themselves.

Among the new breed of entrepreneurs using these concepts are many authors harnessing the power of the web for self-publishing. Self-publishing doesn’t mean small time any longer either. Just consider that Tim Ferriss received a $2,000,000 plus advance for his latest book. While others like Tucker Max have broken all the rules, selling more than 1.5 million copies of his book ‘I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell’ and boasting over 150 consecutive weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list!

Email Marketing

Is Email Marketing Dead?

 

Far from it! Email marketing still remains a powerful part of any comprehensive marketing plan. Somethings may have changed, but those who are doing it right are seeing incredible results.

It is true that for a while email marketing became rife with spam and was being over used and abused to a point where you may have been lucky to see response rates as low as 0.5-2%. However those who are embracing the evolution of email marketing are currently realizing open and response rates consistently upwards of 10% and even as high as 50%.

Getting great results from your email campaigns all starts with your list. Buying super expensive email lists that are 90% junk is the way of the past. Obviously building your own opt-in list is where your focus ought to be. However this can take a little creativity to coax prospects into handing over their email addresses and can take a little time, depending on what you are offering in return. Leading entrepreneurs are now finding ways to cross promote through other company’s already extensive email lists or working with a marketing manager who provides a turnkey email solution.

The days of blasting out flyer type emails and expecting recipients to click through and buy immediately is also history for the most part. Consumers are more cautious than ever about doing business with email marketers. Instead look at your email campaigns as the top of your funnel and a tool for taking them to the next step. Use email marketing to generate more blog subscribers, social media fans and followers and to invite them to webinars, events and other soft sales pitches.

What else can you do to maximize the ROI of your email marketing? Getting them opened is often the biggest challenge. Winning email subject lines are usually well guarded secrets. In fact, they can mean the difference between 1% and 87% open rates. However, you can now use the Subject Line Research tool at MailChimp to compare your ideas with the millions of emails they have sent to gauge whether yours is likely to be a winner. Also consider when you send out your emails, not just which days, but at what time. Finally you now absolutely must be incorporating links to your social media in your email signatures and providing direct points of contact that enable immediate interaction.

Online Marketing Strategy

The Art of War For Online Marketing Strategy

What is it that really separates those in your industry that become the big players and those who just stumble along, never really getting a foothold in the market? It isn’t just access to funding, or a unique product, it is all about marketing strategy. As an entrepreneur it is quite likely you have already heard of the ‘Art of War’, the military strategy book from perhaps the most highly respected general and strategist in history, Sun Tzu. So what can be gleaned from this master strategist and applied to your online marketing so that you can dominate your industry?

Perhaps the most important lesson to be learned from the Art of War is to avoid head to head confrontation with bigger and better equipped competitors. Let’s be honest, if you try to take them on at their own USP (Unique Selling Proposition), go after the exact same customers, talk badly about them in the press or drag them into a price war there is a good chance they will annihilate you. Or at the very least cause you to waste so much of your resources that you have nothing left to fight with. In order to win online you need to be able to laser focus your resources on your ideal customers in order to make maximum impact until you can build up your finances.

This means it is much better to begin by honing in on one niche in your market and making it yours. This could be a specific demographic in your industry or by positioning yourself as the faster or easier option. Don’t worry this doesn’t mean that you can’t eventually dominate your entire industry. It is just easier and wiser to take it down one segment at a time.

How can you apply this to your online marketing? You should be using all aspects of your online presence to target your niche from the toll free numbers you use on your web assets to your domain names, the verbal branding you use and the prospects you focus on with PPC or CPM advertising campaigns. Going further you can take various actions to confuse the competition and even cut off their supply lines by making exclusive agreements with other online marketers. Though perhaps most importantly this means making better keyword choices which will yield a higher return for your marketing budget.

Or you could strike up a partnership – an exchange of a service for marketing services.

Additionally if you intend to hire someone to do your social media advertising for you then it is also advised that you also make yourself aware of how the system works; and social media seminar will show you just that. Sure you can employ someone than calls themselves an “expert” however, can you really tell that they `00% know what they are doing? If you do not know how (or even have an idea) of how the social media system works then you will not be able to truly comprehend what someone else is recommending for your organization.

A good social media seminar will provide you with the skills and knowledge about how to use social media forums (among other things) to effectively promote your company. Whether you choose to do it yourself or employ someone attending a seminar will work for you.

Marketing Seminars

The Benefits of Attending Marketing Seminars

As a business owner one of the ways of broadening your horizons and gaining knowledge that can take your business one step closer to success is marketing seminars. These seminars (especially internet based marketing seminars) are specifically geared towards adding value to business owners like you. The main focus of these seminars is to guide you on the right path while teaching you how to effectively market and promote your business. You see typically business owners tend to hire someone else to take care of their marketing needs. However, these seminars are aimed at putting the power back into the hands of the owner. After all who better to promote your company than you?

So how can you benefit from attending a marketing seminar?

One

You have the opportunity to learn from the best – the experts in the field. Very rarely does a small business owner have the opportunity to be in the presence of a marketing expert; therefore these seminars give them access to these people.

Two

Someone once said “why go to a seminar when you can read a book”? Well can the book answer your questions on spot? Can you have a conversation with a book if you need further clarifications? The answers to these questions are clearly NO. Sure reading a book can provide you with answers; however there is no interaction from a book. When you attend a seminar you are able to ask questions and even solicit discussions from the speaker or even other people that are in attendance.

Three

They say that great minds think alike; if so then a marketing seminar is the perfect place for you to be as a business owner. In a forum like this you are able to shine as you can discuss your issues with people that are experiencing the same problems. Here you will be surprised at the solutions that you can conceptualize both for your problems and that of others. Also you would be surprised at how motivated and inspired you feel when you are around people that are similar to you.

Four

By far it can be said that the single most significant advantage of attending a marketing training seminar is the opportunity to network. A marketing seminar could end up being the next big break that you and your business need.

Five

Another benefit to being at a marketing seminar is the chance for it to become your life changing event. There have been many business owners like you that have reported that attending a seminar they experienced some form of event that either changed the course of their lives, business plans or them. Attending a seminar can open up something inside of you that you never knew. It is like opening up the gates to your awesomeness. So the next time that someone invites you to a marketing seminar; instead of shrugging it off, think about it as your big break, the opportunity for this to be your moment to shine.

Social Media Training

All you need to Know About How Social Media Training can Help Your Business

Unless you have been living under a rock you would have realized that social media has taken the internet by storm. Once thought of as only a means for interacting and connecting with friends; social media has evolved into so much more. Now business owners have begun to use social media as a means of effectively and inexpensively promoting their business. However, most business owners have no idea how to use social media effectively to promote their business. It therefore becomes important for business owners to acquire some form of social media training.

Social media can help your business in so many ways and the best part is that it costs a fraction of the cost of advertising. Have you seen how big Twitter and Facebook are? Those 2 major sites see millions of people on a daily basis, making it an advertising heaven. Now not because there are millions of people on these sites doesn’t mean that you can simply place an ad and the business will come rolling in, as there is more to the use of these websites than that. In order to effectively promote your company and product you must be able to understand how the people that frequent these sites behave. Again in order to do this yourself you need social media training.

But I have no time. This is often the cry of many business owners as they generally have a lot to do in the day to day operations of their business. In this case the best option for them is to employ someone that has had the necessary social media training. Having someone with this kind of experience allows you to have an “expert” develop your social media marketing strategy and actively market you, your product or your service. So how much will a service like this cost?

You would be surprised to know that having someone that has had social media training market and promote your business is not costly at all; especially if you compare it to the cost of traditional advertising. Often times these “experts” will charge you a fee then outsource some of the tasks to freelance contractors that have the experience in carrying out the duties needed to promote businesses via social marketing mediums.

However, regardless of whether or not you are opting to promote your business yourself or have someone promote the business it is advised that you get some amount of social media training for yourself. This is because it will help you to understand what the person that you have hired is doing, adds to your credentials and allows you to feel empowered.

Small Business Training

Avoid the Common Causes of Small Business Failure by Getting Small Business Training

 

We all want to be our own boss. We all dream of someday owning and operating our own business; however we are all not equipped to do so. This does not mean that one cannot successfully create and operate their own business. It is a well known fact that many small businesses fail in the first 5 years of operation. Though there are many reasons for this – for example the economy, one can say that small businesses fail because the business owner lacks small business training and sufficient business experience and knowledge.

How can inexperience and a lack of small business training negatively affect small business owners?

Well for starters many owners have a brilliant idea; they have either developed a product or a service that people demand. The challenge is that they have no idea how to effectively manage the operations.

This issue can become major however; with the right small business training you will learn how to effectively manage your finances.

Two – Management Skills

Sure they have the ideas; however, they need to be able to develop processes and procedures and also manage the staff that carries out these functions. Now do not think that I am saying that all business owners are unable to do this; however, the fact remains that unless you have had some form of small business training you will most likely experience difficulties in this area.

Three – Leadership Skills

Another area that is significantly helped by small business training is leadership. Poor leadership is also another cause of the failure of small businesses.  For any business to survive it needs to have not only excellent product and staff; it also needs a good leader.

Small Business Conferences

The Best Way to Learn How to Solve Your Business Issues and Achieve Growth

So what kind of training would one expect to get from attending small business conferences?

For starters these conferences teach you how to effectively deal with the challenges that most if not all small businesses will face. You are therefore not only being taught about the problems but good small business conferences will teach you how to solve these problems and how to ensure that the same mistakes are not made twice.

Another benefit to attending small business conferences is that they are usually a wonderful place to network with other business owners. There are tremendous benefits to be derived from being in the same space with people that have faced or is facing the same problems as you. For instance you are able to learn how someone else solved the same issue that you may face. You can also tweak their ideas to suit your specific needs.

Additionally small business conferences can open up partnership opportunities that you otherwise might not have been able to access. For example if you are a small distributer then you might be lucky enough to meet a a supplier that you could partner with for cheaper products etc, therefore as a small business owner it is advised that whenever possible attend those small business conferences as you never know how you can grow both your business and yourself.
