ATTN: New to offline or thinking of jumping over - Read this FIRST!
"Hi I have my first client - what do I do?"
"Hi guys I want to find a WSO that is a business in a box for offline marketing"
It's something I see daily and every time it gets on my nerves, if you do not know how to provide a service that you are advertising yourself as a professional in the field, you are heading in the wrong direction and potentially permanant damage to your reputation and the reputaton of marketers in general. I know you mean no harm and you just want a slice of the pie but reading a single ebook on offline marketing wll not cut it!
All I am suggesting is that instead of running around looking for cookie cutter biz plans for offline consulting then rushing off to the printhouse for flyers you put some time and effort into learning the core things of marketing and sales then if you want a quick refresher look at some WSO's but just remember there is a good chance the WSO you're buying is written by someone with just as much knowledge as yourself of the topic - so it really is a case of the blind leading the blind.
Either way it makes no difference to me - I have picked up 2 clients in the last week because they got screwed by some cowboy in over their head, I just want to keep it honest and encourage people to put in some work instead of chasing the buck.
A Great WSO I would suggest for anyone in offline to check out is vagabond 007's mindmap in the WSO area - I have purchased this and among the 10 or so I have checked out (I like to see what other people are thinking on the topic - not because I didn't know how to do it) it is by far the most complete WSO available that I have seen myself.
(Oh and another thing people always bitch about spending more then $7 or $17 - maybe that's why you haven't found your nugget yet)
Please share your thoughts - don't take this as a negative thing, moreso a positive push in the right direction... if you have a great WSO (I mean great and no BS here... or pushng your friends or your own unless it is full of solid info that is very useful) please share it for the new people.
PS - I am studying my degree in business (Marketing) and Law as well as many years experience in researching changes in the industry and trying my best to stay on top of it all - I am not some kid with a months experience and some hidden agenda of becoming the next <22 yearold driving a lambo achieved with a fake it till you make it mentality.
Thanks,
JB
