Are You “Open” with Your Marketing Interactions?

By Alex Mandossian

The Johari Window is an important “quadrant” model named after it’s two inventors, Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham (“Jo-Hari”).

Personally, I’ve found it to be the most useful “window” of opportunity to analyze the fascinating process of human interaction, especially in business interactions between Entrepreneurs and their prospects or customers.

The Johari Window has four panes (quadrants) and divides “personal awareness” into four different classes: Open, Hidden, Blind and Unknown. The lines dividing the four panes are like [Read more…]

CASE STUDY: The “Fusion” Web Audio Billboard

By Alex Mandossian

If you ever want to add more affiliate partnership sales within the “event marketing” micro-niche, the absolute best way I’ve found that attracts more referrals is “fusing” a 5-minute online AUDIO with a one-page webpage (BILLBOARD).

I call it the “Audio Billboard” marketing method and over the past decade generated a few hundred thousand dollars in sales and profits with simple no-nonsense audio messages.

If you want to catapult your “pass-it-on” value of your free event marketing teleseminars … then it pays to consider the prospecting power of soft squeeze pages.

Most event marketers utilize the forced opt-in (“hard squeeze”) registration method to maximize list building efforts for their teleseminar events

Yet, the soft squeeze page is a fast, easy and counter-intuitive way to increase the size of your prospect list because you give the option of sampling your info product before requesting an email address. This marketing secret is particularly effective with attracting more highly-targeted Affiliate Partner traffic.

Glossary: A “soft squeeze” page is an optional “opt-in” form best utilized as an “auto-reminder” request when promoting your free teleseminar, tele-webcast or any other “recorded live” event marketing campaign.

Write Your Blog Posts by Repurposing

By Cathy Perkins

If you think you don’t have enough ideas to post to your blog regularly, please read on …

If you have done teleseminars, written articles, done podcasts, written a book or an e-book, or are thinking of writing a book, then you have so many blog posts you won’t know where to start!

A 60 minute teleseminar has the potential for dozens of blog posts. Your book or book idea is too many blog posts to count. And one 7 tips article is perfect for 7 (or more) blog posts.

Look at EVERYTHING you’ve already done and repurpose your own material into your blog posts.

The opposite of that works too. If you have a lot of blog posts already, repurpose them into other products. Your only limitation is your imagination.

The Universal Language of “Flow Charting”

Flow Chart Secrets Play Now | Play in Popup

If you want to boost the impact of your marketing communications … then start turning your “static” mental ideas into “dynamic” flow charts.

Most entrepreneurial CEOs typically do not take the time to “flow chart” their marketing launches or business plans, yet no skill is more valuable in getting your point across faster, better and easier.

You won’t find the concept, “verbal vision” in Wikipedia or any online dictionary, but I utilize it regularly to describe two important concepts that lead to better business presentations.

To me, Verbal means “words and ideas expressing movement” and Vision means “the act or power of anticipating that which will or may come to be.” So then to flow chart (when utilized as a verb) means to graphically express the process and direction of your ideas.

Glossary: A “flow chart” is a verbal and graphic description of a process or stages of a project that provides a useful language for communicating a personal or professional vision.

If you want to accelerate your professional productivity (maximum results in minimum time), then you must discover the secret to “virtualizing your physical enterprise.”

The best way to “virtualize” is simply to “leverage” human activities and replace them with “robotic” or “automated” activities.

Leverage here is defined as maximum productivity with minimum effort). A great example of how one best-selling author replaced “human” effort with leveraged automation is Jack Canfield with The Success Principles.

Jack and Mark Victor Hansen have sold over 100 million Chicken Soup books over the years uti lizing the “human” effort of physical promotion and book tours. Yet, one “Virtual Book Tour” can sell more than 20 bookstore visits!

Resource: www.ReadTheBigWhiteBook.com

Glossary: “Virtualization” is the process of transforming redundant “human” multi-effort activities into single effort “virtual” results such as replacing many “physical” book tours with one Virtual Book Tour.

TENACITY SPOTLIGHT: Walter Elias Disney

By Alex Mandossian

Foreword: One of the dominant behavioral traits of history’s most successful Entrepreneurial CEOs is: tenacity.

When you look it up in any dictionary you’ll soon discover that it’s typically defined with two-word combinations such as: persistent determination, stubborn perseverance and unrelenting doggedness.
