All right, let's inside the mind of Annie Jennings and find out what you think of this marketing scheme:
Here is the marketing system: management consultant expert Advertises that he will give his $ 6000 per hour via free advisory services.
First thought of Annie is that this is to all other schemes marketing packed with free offers of $ 60,000 or more worth of stuff free when you sign up for a teleseminar or buy a book for $ 20, and initially seems ridiculous.
(Why is Annie referring to this approach as a regime? is a word fun to use. Annie says that the reason is that "it feels like something different from real marketers. feels like a hack.")
So Annie decides to search for the word "regime" just to see why the word seems to describe this sales method.
THE DICTIONARY meaning of SCHEME: Secret and cunning plan, especially one which is designed to cause harm or damage.
But let's take a closer look "scheme-strategy".
Let's take a question: can offer $ 6000 worth of free consulting services, and make work for you? Annie says that this is you have to do maybe this job:
1. you must be highly established and respected expert in your target market with serious brand recognition.
2. your target market must have the complete certainty is really charge $ 6000 per hour (not just pretending to be your marketing scheme) and everyone needs to know in advance for sure.
3. I REPEAT: it is really bill $ 6000 per hour and have turnovers in this way constantly over time and not only that you could.
OPPSIE: Now, let's look at some of the ways this marketing approach can backfire. to begin with, you'd better hope the customer (or customers) who have paid the $ 6,000 per hour not see your offer.
After all, how would you feel if you paid $ 6,000 for something and then find out that you could have gotten free? is crazy and confusion.
This can happen: Plus, gets people thinking you should repay the money of all those who have paid $ 6,000, right?Gets even worse.Your potential clients are getting mixed signals and that strange feeling really annoying in their gut that:
1. you are desperate.
2. If you have to give away your $ 6000 for HR services, then you're not worth the price.
3. If worth $ 6000 per hour, because they are marketing like this?(Said it was crazy and confused)
If the market has determined your value as $ 6,000 per hour actually paying IT, then you don't need to make this offer because I would think at this point, there would be the best ways to get new clients.
At the end of the day, this expert gets certainly attention, that's for sure.
But I think it's the wrong kind of attention. whole heartedly, Annie
