Referral marketing is the most profitable kind of marketing there is.For as long as there has been small business, owners and service providers have been talking about referral marketing.

rage. If you work solo you can only generate a finite amount of sales momentum. After all, you’re just one person.

If you haven’t caught the latest buzz, it’s all about The Secret. I believe this is going to be BIG. A friend recommended it to me last month, so I picked up a copy of the DVD. If you haven’t seen it, it’s about manifesting your goals through the universal Law of Attraction. Summed up in a few words, it says what we think about is what we attract. Think good things, good things come. Think negative, and you’ll get more of the same. Of course, there’s a lot more to it than that. But what I want to highlight is not the content of The Secret, but rather the marketing secrets that will make it such a smashing success. We can apply some of these same techniques to our own business.

1. The Name: The title could have been “The Law of Attraction” or “How to Get What You Desire”. But the chosen title is short and sweet, provocative, and powerful. There are entire books written about power words, and this is one of them. Other power words include New, Sale, Free, Powerful, and Innovative. You get the idea. Use them in your marketing titles or headlines to attract attention.

2. The Benefit: The appeal of this piece is purely emotional. Who wouldn’t want to have their every desire fulfilled? From health and wealth to happiness, The Secret promises to meet those needs. Most often an emotional appeal will outperform a logical one. What emotional need or want is your product or service fulfilling?

3. It’s Easy: Because The Secret focuses on our thoughts, the change can be instantaneous. No prolonged effort required. Just change your thought patterns and focus. No investment of time or money required. How easy is that! Can you make your product or service easier to use? When we make life easier for our prospects or simplify their lives, sales go up.

4. Expert Testimony: The Secret has called in some of the foremost experts in the fields of quantum physics, metaphysics, success coaching, and spiritual guidance. Odds are good that you’ve heard of at least one of the speakers in the program. That builds instant credibility. The effect is magnified when you consider that it’s far more powerful when many experts make a claim versus just one. Is there an expert in your field that can create a testimonial for your business?

5. Multiple Stakeholders: Another benefit of having multiple participants is that it creates leverage. If you work solo you can only generate a finite amount of sales momentum. After all, you’re just one person. Having multiple stakeholders means that each of these players can leverage their networks and sales contacts to create even more momentum. Can you “partner” with a synergistic business for added momentum and access to a larger network?

5 Interview Tips You May Not Have Considered
1. Always remain positive during the interview even if things aren’t going as well as you’d hoped. In school, did you ever write a test that you were sure you’d failed, only to find out you passed?

Is Your Target Audience Actually Worth Marketing To? (Time to Figure it Out)
You’ve heard many times how important it is to have a plan for WHO to market to, an ideal client profile or target audience. In my book, it’s one of the most crucial things to put in place for attracting all the clients you want because if you don’t know specifically who you’re talking to, you won’t know what to say, and you won’t know where to market. Basically, if you aren’t sure WHO your target audience is specifically, it becomes an uphill battle when it

You may recall the scene in the film, “The Lion King,” in which Simba, having been banished from his murdered father’s kingdom, is floundering in the forest looking for sympathy from anyone who would listen to his sad tale of self-pity. He comes to a stream and, as he gazes into the waters, the form of his father appears and says: “Simba, you have forgotten who you are -- you are more than what you have become.” We all are more than what we have become. Read on to learn how to become better at what you do and who you are.

I remember one particularly difficult college class I taught, and the two students who were likely to fail. They, like many in a growing segment of learners, had short attention spans. They expected more value in less time, but wouldn't listen well enough to find that value. Instead, they would become bored, and ignore the learning.
