Success = Market Unto Others AS You'd Have Them Market Unto YOU

5 replies
I'm not a religious person; I consider myself spiritual, by nature and teachings. So, I'm not trying to apply the Biblical term to Marketing with some alternative agenda to recruit anyone into some biased religion.

Its much deeper than that.

Just like many seem to get the Biblical terminology wrong by interpreting..

- Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you
as
- Do unto others as they've done unto you
or
- Do unto others as you see fit and expect to be done unto differently

... seems to me that many a Warrior gets the Marketing version of this mantra wrong, as well.

Like for instance... getting upset and coming to the forum to rant about being Marketed to while participating in other threads about how to Market.



Does that make sense to you? If it does... meaning, if you don't see anything wrong with that mentality.. then do all of us real Warriors a favor and just leave, right now. --> There's the door.

Yet, if you can open your mind enough to hear/read the message I'm trying to convey here... please stick around and learn it.

You'll only find the success you're seeking IF you Market to your Prospects and Customers as you'd have them Market to you. This is because we're human and deep within our subconscious minds we need to be able to validate and justify our own actions.

If you can't validate and justify your own actions then you put yourself in a psychological position of self destruction. Whether it takes you decades or minutes; you'll eventually sabotage your entire business existence. Its just how we're hard wired as humans.

Now, don't skew this into something its not!

I'm not sitting on a soapbox here preaching about how to be righteous. See, IF you don't mind being scammed, mislead, negatively manipulated or any other negatively slanted action being done against YOU, then by all means... Market to your Prospects and Customers in this fashion.

BUT, if by chance you don't want to have any of the above done to you; (and I have faith that the majority of Warriors DON'T); then DO NOT fall into any of the traps that you see (or don't see -- yeah, that's the hard one) out here trying to make that first/quick buck.

Remember, self preservation is a wonderful thing until it comes at the expense of someone's well being.

Feel free to expound...

    100% - and it will repay you. In the end, people buy from those they like and trust. So if you are good and honest in all your dealings and transparent in your marketing, people will like and trust you and, ultimately, buy from you (if they need what you're selling!)

    Great point and a timely post!

    I was just talking to a member of mine today who floored me when he told me that he has been following my promotional threads and was amazed at my level of transparency!

    The conversation them moved to a deeper level and we began talking about how you get exactly out of life what you put into it.

    Some people call it like you did, "Do unto others"... "Karma"...

    I like to refer to it as reaping and sowing,

    Whatever you plant in life is exactly what you reap. This is an immutable law of nature of which we are living under.

    So, what seeds have you been planting? Look at what your reaping however, it is possible to reap things that you have not personally planted because of the associations you make with other people. This is something that I have had a problem with in the past because of my goodhearted nature.

      Well.. just like sex in the 21st Century; you gotta be careful who you sleep with 'cause you're sleeping with everyone they've slept with in the past.

      I think it carries over and cross-references, really. If you're doing unto others AS you'd HAVE them do unto you and they DON'T; disassociate... quickly. The quicker the better and less residual bad karma you accumulate on your plate.

      Same thing with a Customer; IF they're not going to return the respect that you're giving them... disassociate. "We reserve the right to refuse service to whom we see fit."

      Keep a clean house and dirt has a hard time accumulating.

      Its gettin' deep up in here!

        The cleaner the house the more obvious the dirt.
