Your Premium Offer – Begin with the End in Mind

  • November 24, 2015

Your premium offer is your full priced, paid offering. What is it that you sell? This is the service or product that you want to sell to everyone!

The goal of all your marketing and advertising is to get your customers to purchase this product or service.

When you create marketing funnels, lead magnets, email auto-responders and so on, the purpose of all this is to guide the customer through an automated sales process, identifying your hot leads who are going to take up your premium offer. This allows you to spend the time, energy and resources on the leads that have the highest chance of conversion.

You should do this by reverse-engineering from your premium offer, back through the email process. If your premium offer is a gym membership, you should reverse-engineer back from the gym membership, breaking that into specific benefits and then providing a resource that will help them get just one small result – this is called ‘seeding’. Try and give the lead existing content you may have or by ‘carving’ off part of your premium offer providing that. For existing content, find one of your most popular blog posts, a free PDF or report, a recorded webinar, a short video tutorial, a Podcast or MP3.

Creating A Lead Magnet

  • November 24, 2015

Lead Magnets

Want more email subscribers – and more leads? The single best way to get them is to offer a lead magnet – a free incentive for joining your email list. Lead magnets are also called “sign up incentives”, “sign up offers”, “ethical bribes”, “freemiums”, “content upgrades”, and many other terms. They can be a report in PDF format, a series of emails (aka an autoresponder), a coupon, or even a free half hour of consulting – though we’ll get into all that in more detail later. For now, just know

  • Lead magnets can come in many forms and formats
  • Adding a lead magnet can double your opt-in rate
  • Lead magnets don’t have to take a month to create

The more, the merrier

Already got a lead magnet? Don’t stop reading! For those of you who already have a lead magnet on your site, the next best way to grow your email list is to add a second lead magnet. You can use the second lead magnet to test against your current lead magnet, or use your second lead magnet near related content. For example, say you have a lead magnet about the best tools to use near a blog post about tools, and you have a lead magnet about strategies near a post about strategies. Relevancy is everything in marketing, especially online marketing, so adding these related lead magnets can significantly increase your opt-in if you do them right.

How to choose the topic for your lead magnet

The first thing to do is to choose the right topic for your lead magnet. Get that right, and half the battle is won. There are three essential questions you have to answer to choose a topic for your lead magnet.

  • What topics do your ideal customers or clients want to know about?
  • What topics would be easiest for you to create a lead magnet about?
  • What content format would be the best way to deliver that information?

Figuring out what your customers really want to know about is a big topic, but don’t let that scare you. It’s actually pretty easy. You can find out what your ideal audience wants to know by asking them with surveys . Or you can see how they behave on social media (what they like and don’t like) with tools like BuzzSumo. Or you can visit forums and LinkedIn groups and other places online where your audience gathers. Even one or two hours spent listening in on what your ideal audience is saying about your niche will give you plenty of ideas for great lead magnet topics. Look for problems they’re really struggling with, common questions, new areas of interest, or topics that are controversial.

BuzzSumo will show you which pieces of content have been post popular, either via a keyword search or for a website.

The next step is to take that list of potential topics, and choose just one that you can easily make into a lead magnet. Many of you will immediately think of writing this lead magnet, but if you’re not so big on writing, I’ve got really good news: Lead magnets don’t have to be written. They also don’t have to be long.

Longer is not better

Some of us have made the mistake of thinking that hundred-page ebooks or detailed, lengthy online courses would work best as a lead magnet. Often, they don’t. I once spent nearly six months working on a detailed, highly valuable research project that I later used as a lead magnet. It did not do any better than a different lead magnet I wrote in two days. Ugh. Spend no more than a week creating your lead magnet. Don’t get sucked into making it into a massive, month-long project. Give yourself at most a week, and just knock out that lead magnet in a week (or better, in 2-3 days). It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to get done. This also definitely applies to those of you who have a lead magnet, but aren’t getting the conversions you want. If your opt-in rate for your site is less than 5% (and you’re using a pop-up, aka a “lightbox”), then it’s time to test a different lead magnet, or to try adding one or two content related lead magnets, as mentioned above. Anything less than a 5% opt-in rate on your site means you either need a better lead magnet, or you haven’t added opt-in boxes in the right places.

The best lead magnets deliver value

Follow the value. That’s often what makes for a high-converting lead magnet. What can you show, teach or give to your potential subscribers that will give them unbelievable value – an piece of information or something else so good they will rush to finish typing in their email address? That’s a winning lead magnet.

Be specific

Don’t promise something general like “How to Make More Money”. That’s not specific enough to make someone’s heart skip a beat. But “5 Ways to Make $500 This Weekend With No Upfront Costs”? That’s specific enough to stop people in their tracks. The #1 place to be specific is in the headline of your lead magnet. Don’t buzz by this: Spend at least 15 or 20 minutes writing several different headlines. Then go with the one that is the most specific and the most emotionally compelling. To get a score on how emotionally compelling your title is, try the Emotional Marketing Headline Analyzer.

The title or headline for your lead magnet is really important. Use a tool like the Emotional Marketing Value Headline Analyzer to see if you’ve got a title that will get people’s attention.

Optimize your opt-in button copy

You want something better than just “Subscribe” on your button. The copy on the button is called a “call to action”, and it’s super important. Get the button copy right, and you could see twice as many subscribers than if you just use “Subscribe”. Ideally, you would test the button copy, but if you’ve got less than 2,000 unique visitors to your site a month, you may not have enough traffic to test. The next best thing is to just give the button copy your very best shot. You can try the classic copywriting trick of repeating the headline copy on the button; this can work very well. Or you can shorten it a bit and have the button say something like “Download the report” or “View the video” or “Get tickets”. Basically, the construction here is verb (“view”, “download”, “get”, etc) plus the short name for your lead magnet (your “report”, your “video”, your “course”, etc). That’s a great start until you can get enough traffic to run an A/B test.

Which format will they love?

Now that you know enough to be dangerous, here are 19 different lead magnet formats. You don’t have to pick just one (because it’s good to have more than one lead magnet, remember?), but do pick the format you think your ideal audience will like best. Some audiences are words, some like videos. Others tend to want to printable cheat sheets and checklists. Hopefully, your research has given you some clues about what formats your audience will respond to.

19 different kinds of lead magnets

1) A video course that can be accessed all at once.

2) A video course delivered via autoresponder, say for 10 days.

3) An infographic so useful they’ll want to tape it to their refrigerator or their office wall.

4) A calendar (like a gardening to do list calendar).

5) A gear list.

This one is great for affiliates. If your niche is almost entirely online (like SEO services, for example), your lead magnet “gear list” could be an “essential tools” list that includes plugins and other online tools. Resource lists are similar to this, but work better in some niches. For example, a resource list of your favorite freelancers or Fiverr gigs. Buyer’s guides are another twist on this type of lead magnet.

6) A checklist for how to do something that needs to be done more than once, or that seems complicated. Cheat sheets are also very popular, as are flow charts or process charts.

7) A how-to ebook in PDF format (this is the classic lead magnet. I’m sure you’ve seen them online). If you offer something like this, make it more valueable than a blog post, even a really, really great blog post. Offer something just barely good enough to believe, like how to do something everyone in your niche wants to do, but how to do it for less than half as much money as they think it will cost, or how to do it in less than half as much time.

8) A half hour consultation with you. This one is excellent for coaches.

9) A coupon (if you’re a retailer or a local business, this is for you). Coupons can be for 10% off, for free shipping, for a free cup of coffee… you get the idea.

How Lucky Brand promotes it’s email list. Though, if you’ve read other posts of ours, you know they’re probably asking for too much information in this opt-in form.

10) Free tickets to a special event (best for local businesses).

11) Free samples. This isn’t for everyone, but if you can affordably ship a small sample to people, (like a guest soap bar, or a packet of seeds, or golf ball tees), this can be a great way to get people’s email address AND their mailing address.

12) Give access to a free membership site, or to a private Facebook group.

13) Have a quiz or poll on your site. Only give people access to the answers or the results if they give you their email address.

14) Offer a free trial. This one’s for all you software as a service folks.

15) Offer a giveaway or let people enter a contest or sweepstakes.

16) Offer access to a webinar, or a recorded webinar or workshop (or any other audio file).

17) Create an online tool, and require email registration to use it. Online assessments can also qualify as free tools.

The very popular online keyword research tool MajesticSEO requires registration (ie, an email address) to use it.

18) Create a plugin and require an email to download or install it.

19) Offer a “swipe file” – a collection of templates that people can tailor to their own use. For example, an email marketing swipe file, a query letter swipe file, or an affiliate’s advertising swipe file. Swipe files were traditionally kept by copywriters, so they could keep track of what competitors were doing, and save samples of great ideas to reuse later.

Extra credit

This isn’t for everyone, but some marketers have found an elegant way to use their lead magnets as part of their sales funnel. They offer a high value lead magnet that builds a lot of trust in the person who downloads it. Then, after they’ve impressed their prospect with how much they can help them, they offer a low priced product (say, $7) that solves one major problem the lead magnet didn’t address. The promotion for that $7 is embedded at the end of the lead magnet. Then that $7 product leads into a higher priced product, and the prospect continues through the sales funnel, learning and upgrading as they go. Some people also use those $7 products as a way to segment their list. You could, too.

Cash Flow Secrets

CASH FLOW SECRETS

Ever heard the saying cashflow is king? Of course you have! If you are in business or manage the finances for a business you will know the pains of managing the cashflow. Below are some simple and quick actions you can take to help increase your cashflow.

Cashflow can be a real headache, however with careful planning and a few tricks of the trade, we have learn to take the stress out. With over 12 different businesses, we have found the following 7 steps to be effective in reducing cashflow pain.

 

1. Increase your price – most business are too afraid to increase their price. Many worry that they will lose customers with a price increase. Customers naturally expect businesses to increase their prices over time. Regular, timely and small increases are usually unnoticed, or if noticed, expected anyway. We suggest small, annual increases, usually in line with CPI, or thereabouts.

2. Train your team – unless you work by yourself, you will need to ensure you spend time, effort and maybe some money training your team to be great at selling (and service). It doesn’t matter what type of business you are in, if you have customers that pay you money, then you are in sales. By training your team to be as good as (or better) than you at achieving sales, you can make a dramatic impact on your sales and cashflow.

3. Increase average spend – many businesses spend tonnes of money on marketing, trying to get new customers on board and trying to re-activate old customers. As above, training your team will help you keep existing customers, now spend time training them to increase the amount they are spending per transaction. Train your team to understand up selling, value-adding and add-on selling to increase the amount each customer is spending in each transaction.

4. Reduce your debtor days – the squeaky gate gets the most oil. Train your customers to pay you on time and if there are usually issues, reward customers by encouraging early payment. One of the highest failure rates in business is as a result of cashflow issues in relation to debtors. One of my businesses is a service based business, where clients pay a monthly retainer. We implemented a direct debit system for the monthly recurring fee. Since then, we have reduced our debtor days to a negligible amount. A suggested way of implementing this is to have a price increase, but offer anyone the moves to direct debit the offer of waiving the price increase.

5. Increase your creditor days – let’s face it, in an ideal world we would pay our suppliers and creditors on time. But let’s face it, sometimes it’s in our interest to stretch things out a little. As with your debtors, it’s the squeakiest gate that gets the most oil. If you can stretch out your payment days with your suppliers by a week or more, you can add significantly to your cashflow. Rule of thumb, make sure you don’t get put on stop supply with a key supplier or worse get sent to debt collection. You don’t want your credit rating effected. This strategy simply helps you manage your critical payments like super, tax, payroll and so forth and juggle a few of your less critical suppliers.

6. Analyse your cost of sales percentage – there are a number of key ratios in your business and cost of sales is one of the top (if not the most important) ratios. Your cost of sales percentage is the percentage of cost as opposed to your sales. You can do this as a percentage of total sales, or sales for a particular category. For instance in a cafe you should assess coffee costs (beans, milk, sugar, cups) as a percentage of total coffee sales. You should know the bench mark ratios in your industry.

7. Focus on your top margin products – apply the 80/20 rule. Across almost every industry and market, 80% of your sales come from 20% of your products AND 80% of your profit will be coming from 20% of your products. Work out what these products/ services are. Focus your effort here. Additionally, look at the bottom 20% of your product lists, these usually generate very little profitability yet are usually time consuming, and resource draining. Do you need them?

Top Tech Tips

The most successful people, are those that are highly productive and are masters at getting things done efficiently and effectively. They know what to focus on, when to focus on it, and for how long. Technology has made productivity more achievable and easier for everyone, but only if you embrace it, and not let it rule your life.

Here are my Top Tech Tips:

Asana This is a project and task management tool that we use in our organisation. Think Outlook Tasks on steroids. If there is more than one person in your team, this is an absolute MUST. It is free for up to 15 users and has great functionality.

Google AppsI was a Microsoft junkie. I had been using Microsoft Office for years and knew it inside out. I was avoiding the change because i was so comfortable with Office. At the beginning of 2015, we switched from Office to Google Apps. What a difference! The most significant difference is the number of apps that integrate with Google Apps. This provides almost limited additional functionality and automation.

Google SitesAs with Google Apps, this is a must for any business and their intranet/ Systems manual

Secret SeverIn an age where internet security is critical to every business, Secret Server provides online access on your PC and phone for all of your passwords. You can share access within your organisation. Never write down another password again.

Orderfast An amazing app-based ordering system designed for small business. OrderFast allows you to place all your stock orders straight from your smartphone, iPhone or iPad at the click of a button

Online Accounts – Don’t mess around with accounting software. Having your accounts in the cloud is an absolute must – no exceptions, for any business. QuickBooks Online is fantastic for small business and has tonnes of integrations, making it extremely powerful. We use QuickBooks Online for all of our businesses.

IWSAustralia’s largest provider of integrated rostering and payroll, IWS offers cloud based rostering for shift based workers as well as fully integrated payroll and bookkeeping for businesses. Priced especially for small businesses, IWS is a great solution to allow business owners to stop working in their business and work on it.

UpWork (formerly Odesk) –  Find freelancers on Upwork – the world’s largest online workplace for freelancers. My business has used Upwork for a few years. We have had mostly good experiences with freelancers. the benefit vs cost is significant, although ensure you match the candidate to the job, and usually it is best to have a couple of final candidates and put them both to the test. Clear communication on what is expected is also essential. Outsource to Upwork everything you possibly can. Trust me, you will save a bomb AND the quality and timing of work is great and it’s twenty-four hours a day!

Facebook – Most businesses rely on people spending money with them to grow…correct? To achieve this, we need customers, and therefore in most cases we need new leads or opportunities. If your business is not yet on Facebook, then this should be a serious consideration for you. Not only can you post and update your current customers, but Facebook is one of the best (if not the best) lead generation platform. With recent changes, it has become even better.

Landing Pages – Landing pages are like a stand alone web page or series of web pages where you send your leads to (rather than your website). A lead page guarantees you a higher rate of conversion or opt-in than sending to your web page which is often confusing for a lead as on a web page, there is usually no one single purpose and call to action. There are a few great options for lead pages. In our company we use Instapage, and have also used Leadpages.

MailChimpOnline email marketing solution to manage contacts, send emails and track results. Offers plug-ins for other programs. Mailchimp is where the information that your leads have submitted through your lead page is stored. Mailchimp then allows you to create marketing channels, email flow and so forth to communicate with these customers, to move them from a lead to a paying customer.

With all of the above, there are skills required to use these tools. It is always best to work with someone who knows what they are doing. Our suggestion always is, learn as much as you can from a trusted source, and then find a company you can outsource the work to, that will give you the greatest results. Ultimately, you should budget cost vs. return, and look at all technology as an option to increase productivity and sales in your business.

The advice above is based on what has work in our business. The advice may not be right for everyone, and you should consider this when making decisions. Feel free to reach out to us for assistance.

Find and Attract New Clients in 5 Quick Steps

How many of us are so busy doing a fantastic job for our current clients, that we find we don’t have good systems for getting new clients?

Here you will learn how to: Find and Attract New Clients in 5 Quick Steps

The key to a sustainable and scalable business is the implementation of systems to grow our business. Good systems allow us to spend more time delivering to our clients and less time chasing new business.

New business is the lifeline to building a business. Below are five quick steps you can implement in your business straight away to grow your business by finding and attracting new customers.

 

1. Remember the saying, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail? Yes, I know it’s cliché, but many of us have very limited time, so we often are light on in the planning stages of marketing. I have found that even a rough plan of the next 3-6 months of strategies can give you a timeline of success and actually take a bit of pressure off. If you don’t have any marketing in place, just get 3-5 things that you can do over the next 3-6 months. Then, commit to getting two of them off the ground in the next 30 days.

 

2. Social Media and Online Marketing – if this is alien to you and freaks you out a bit…don’t worry, most people are in this boat. The rise of the internet and social media over the past decade is phenomenal and to most is now the norm. However, start talking social media marketing, and the majority are still fairly vague on this.

 

Where to start? That’s the question to ask yourself. Firstly, there are plenty of companies that can help you on this, and if you think you may need some help…get help. They are usually very cost effective.

 

There are three main (and easy) way to advertise online:

  1. Google Adwords
  2. Facebook advertising
  3. LinkedIn Advertising

If you haven’t done either, start with Facebook advertising, as these are easy to setup and are relatively low cost. Google Adwords and LinkedIn Advertising are also great options. Start with Facebook and once you’ve mastered that progress to the others, or hire in help to get you started.

Follow these three key rules of thumb:

  1. Start with a low budget and do cost per click (CPC)
  2. Always use a leads page (like Lead Pages.net), don’t direct the straight to your website
  3. Build your client list/ database, don’t build your likes.

 

3. Get to where they are! There are hundreds of ways to get face to face with your potential customers – whether you’re in retail, service based or otherwise. Here are my quick tips:

  1. Cafes/ fast food – do your customers catch the bus or train? Often potential customers are racing past your shop and boarding buses and trains. Stand up at the station or bus stop and hand out some compelling offers to entice them in
  2. Trade Shows – there are tradeshows for everything these days, go online and find out where you customers are looking for the next big ticket to help them…and make your business that big ticket!
  3. Sporting events – when the sporting event ends…thousands file out of the event. Make them head to your business with a limited time only compelling offer.
  4. Set up a temporary stall/ information booth in a shopping centre – let’s face it, most people shop. So, make yourself visible and available to you potential customers by either selling your products, giving away samples, or providing information on your business/ services to those that show an interest.
  5. Strategic partnerships….read on to point #4!

 

4. Strategic Partnerships – these are a great way to align yourself with the right similar but not competing organisations. Here are the quick action steps for creating a strategic partnership:

  1. WIIFM (What’s In It For Me) – do a quick list of what YOU could offer THEM. Strategic partnerships only work when both parties feel like they are getting value out of the partnership.
  2. Identify your potential strategic partnerships – create a profile of who your perfect strategic partner may look like. Now list 20 potentials that match this
  3. Contact your top 20 – book a meeting with each and discuss your strategic partnership. Make sure you have a list of the top benefits for THEM. The more you focus on THEM, the stronger the partnership. Remember you listed them as your top 20, so they will be able to deliver to you, make sure you can deliver to them.
  4. The next steps are all about implementation and follow-up:
    • Lock in 2-3 opportunities with you SP
    • Communicate to your team and the SP’s team – excite and entice both sides to the opportunities.
    • Develop systems to help you manage and review the partnership
    • Have a tool to measure the results. Systemise this.
    • Review the partnership and the results and iterate as required

 

5. Direct Marketing – okay, I know this is old school, but sometimes old school works. I will give you an example. One of my business is an IT/web-based business. We have an awesome app for hospitality businesses that allows them to place their supplier orders for all their suppliers. It has been hugely popular. We had inside information that a huge multi-national chain was changing one of their suppliers and we wanted to provide our app to this chain. We didn’t have email addresses for these businesses, phone calls would have been time consuming, and we couldn’t drive around the country doing face to face meetings. The best option was a direct mailout through the post. With postal addresses widely available, it was easy to create the mailmerge and pump out the advertising, directly mailed to each business.

 

Rule of thumb – find our=t who your target market is, and if you can’t get in front of them, snail mail, ain’t a bad option!

What is BxNetworking

BxNetworking


What is BxNetworking

Fortnightly network meetings for motivated individuals. Be relaxed. Be genuine. Grow your business by aligning yourself and building relationships with other smart operators. Easy as that.

Networking With Us – Business Networking

Ever felt awkward at a networking meeting? Pretended to check your phone or felt unsure about what to say or where to start? At BxNetworking we understand that small business is built on trust and – for many – business networking can be daunting.

We help overcome this by walking you through it and keeping each meeting to a set format so all you have to focus on is making great connections. You will be looked after the moment you arrive, be introduced to other like-minded professionals and get the chance to really deep-dive into their business while giving them the opportunity to deep-dive into yours.
