short pitch lines

Can I have some solid pitch lines/elevator pitch on SEO and Text Message Marketing.

So I can get my mind in the right state of seeing how great the benefits are, plus explaining it in a way that people will understand.

When someone tells me text message marketing, I know what it means, but business owners are confused.

thanks.

    Hi Wrench, precisely the point I just made in another thread! Business people do not understand technology!! They only know just enough to be able to use it. (Try this: ask them what a "server" is. Nearly everyone thinks their personal computer is where all their data stays, even when they 'know' they're on a network!)

    Be doing this: solving a problem, not pitching a product or service.

    What are some typical reasons people have chosen to do business with you? Figure some out, turn them around into question format, and you'll have something valuable to say to business owners. They will understand that you 'get' their world because you will be talking about common problems that they experience.

    The solution comes after, not before.

      1. you are jumping the gun, i don't sell a products I sell a solutions to solve problems. Explaining a SOLUTION still needs to be explained correctly.

      2. I specifically said "When someone tells me text message marketing, I know what it means, but business owners are confused."

      So again....

      Can someone post a pitch, i'd love to hear them.

    Restaurants:
    How many times per month does your average customer visit you?
    How would you like to increase that?

    Business putting coupons in the paper:
    I saw your coupon in the paper and was wondering how many people that brings in.
    Would you like to increase that? Even get some of them to come back in a week or two again without having to put more coupons in the paper?

    Than you explain how using text marketing could help in both cases.

    Text marketing is about getting people and in many cases regular customers in the seats and in the seats more often.
