All About Internet Marketing

Life is precious, and time is short. We never know what tomorrow holds, so why wait to make an impact? After losing my mother-in-law last week, this truth hits harder than ever. We’re here to change lives, to make a difference. Let’s not waste the time we have on this beautiful earth—start today, and make every moment count. David Asarnow

Do you ever feel like your sales and marketing teams are on opposing sides?  It’s been a constant battle for decades for many business owners. These two “sides” always seem to be chirping at each other…  “These leads aren’t good.”   “You don’t use our content properly to sell.” Tell me something…Is this representative of your sales and marketing teams?  WATCH THIS FUNNY VIDEO  However, the real question is…  Does it actually matter if your sales and marketing teams are aligned?  Will that really help you SCALE your business? I can simplify those answers for you in a few bullet points: You absolutely need sales. You absolutely need marketing. You ABSOLUTELY need them on the same page. Period.  Sure, you’re selling. Revenue is there. But it’s just OK.  Just  OK  is  NOT  how you are going to scale your business.  At this point you might say, “Well look, if I’m selling, I’m selling. Marketing does their thing, sales does theirs.”  And I’d agree, that works to a certain point. Say, up to a...

In the last newsletter we covered the  WHO and HOW  (Component  #1) when it comes to creating a massively successful lead generation funnel.  After gaining a crystal clear picture of WHO your ideal client is, it will be easier to nail down the second component… Writing  compelling  copy for your funnel that  resonates  at a high level   with your target audience.  Resonates?  Resonating is the feeling that develops when someone trusts, believes, and connects with who you are, what you stand for, and what you offer  (you or your company).  This piece is  extremely important  to mention, as it sets the tone, theme, and positioning when writing each copy element for your funnel.  In other words, when your copy resonates at a high level with your ideal prospects, you can ultimately   increase your conversion rate .  So yes, this is important! If you want to resonate with your audience, you must first become crystal clear on  what it is you are selling  AND  how exactly it benefits  your au...

One of the biggest misconceptions about lead generation funnels is  “Build it and they will come” .  A lead generation funnel is not a field of dreams… (And this also applies to every other kind of  funnel) .  I am always shocked by how many business owners really struggle to make their funnels profitable. In most cases, they’ve encountered these challenges because they haven’t applied the same marketing principles to their funnel that they normally would apply to any other marketing strategy.  I see it all the time. They spend all their time, energy, and money adding all the extra bells and whistles to the funnel itself, and they forget about the basic needs that  must be met  in order to attract and reach the right target avatar.  Back in the day, I admit, I was guilty of this too! I used to think the more complicated it was, the more successful it would turn out to be. I literally tried to automate every component, and add every “frill” I could, and guess what?  It was only when we ...
