HELP WANTED: Would You Buy A Service Like This...?

11 replies
I'm referring to this post...
http://www.warriorforum.com/offline-...ed-my-day.html

Thanks Jason for bringing my posts to his attention.

Peter, Dusty and others who chimed in,
thank you.

Based on feedback on the copywriting forum and this
offline forum, I'm wondering if there is enough of you
who would like to see me run a monthly service
that does...

Put a member in the hotseat and out the other end of it is a ad campaign ready to
be used.

I'll let you in on the deep secrets of what gets people to pick up the phone and call you
rather someone else or nobody.

Even if it's not your biz not being worked on, you'll see how it can apply to your business or your client's.

3 questions...

1 Would you like to take part in this

2 Is there anything else you'd like to be included?

3 What monthly fee range would work for you?

Note: This service may not be started as I'm only considering it.

Thanks for your feedback.

Best,
Doctor E. Vile

    I would be all over it like a fat kid on a cupcake

    I am not sure what this question means - like am I creating the service design, or am I coming up with a wish list for me?

    3. The value I think would be heavily weighted on the business potential revenue - but maybe $350/month would be a good base rate IMO (I could be way low, your copy is the best I have seen)

      Yeah, a wish list so I could deliver what's wanted most.

      Thanks for responding.

        Would this be something I could apply to my lawn business? If so, I'd be highly interested!

          I can't argue with Dusty,
          so yes!

          Probably would help that I was in the lawnmowing game
          for 11 years and part of that time was building and selling
          lawnmowing businesses.

    First of all, I want to give a BIG thank you to Doctor E. Ville. He reached out to me yesterday to help me with a marketing piece I was working on. He was more than generous with his time, gave me a ton of valuable information, and didn't ask me for a penny! I appreciate you, Ewen!

    Now, this idea of yours is fantastic. One of my favorite types of marketing education is real world ad critiques, so yes, I'd be interested. And it doesn't matter what business is being critiqued, there will always be a takeaway.

    Couple of questions pop into my mind...

    Monthly fee range... Will this be a membership based service where the people on the "viewing end" of the critique are paying, or would the person in the hot seat be paying?

    What would the format be? Would this be a recorded call during the process? A webcast? A video made after the finished product?

    Looking forward to learning more.

      Same with me, I had a great conversation (2 actually) with him today. I think this would be a great service.

        Would love to explore ideas on how to support you more
        because you are the type of person I love working with,
        therefore it brings the best out of me.

        We'll talk soon.

        Best,

      Both paying the same amount
      as part of your membership fee.

      Every member gets an opportunity to be in the hot seat where the experience is similar you had with me...PLUS I'm thinking there will be an agreement as to what the
      direction the marketing piece will go in, I'll go away and create it,
      you check if you want changes, it then gets shown to the group and then it gets discussed again.

      The recordings and finished piece gets kept on file for all to see
      at anytime while a member.

      From the calls the marketing creates we can talk about
      how to handle the incoming ph calls, so you convert
      more of the better clients and quickly drop the bad ones.

      We can move on to on job situations so you maximize the dollars you get out of every job.

      Different media channels to go into, so you understand all are split into two kinds and each require a different approach.[/QUOTE]

      At first I see it all will be recorded
      and the audio made available to members.

      The marketing pieces will be available as
      an image.

      Supporting notes as text with the image.

      Plus there will be a open discussion forum so
      members can discuss with each other.

      Open to ideas which would make it
      a membership you and others, like yourself,
      would want to be part of long term.

      Thoughts?

      Best,
      Doctor E. Vile

        WAIT...WAIT...WAIT....

        You can't let this kind of knowledge out into the wild Ewen.

        There would be an outrage from all the business owners that were trampled over by members who started to dominate their local areas....

        God forbid....

        ....they might even expand....gradually taking over the universe.

        I beg you Ewen...don't reveal that knowledge...

        don't sell it yet.

        Please wait until at least the old timers, who have followed you for years, have had a chance to exit profitably.

        Everyone knows the value you bring...

        ...and the heat you create in markets you touch.

        I implore you to price what you are offering so it is painfully out of the reach of the "less than serious" players out there.

        The insights you offer are just too valuable to gift away at bargain prices.
