Havent watched yet either (it's midnight here and I'm working on some client stuff) but I'll def check it in the morning!

Pre-thanks for taking the time to put together free content to help everyone succeed, hopefully the majority dont brush it off as "just free" but use 'em to get results. If not, I'm sure they'll be back asking the same questions about the same problems...or paying $47 for half the quality in some weird WSO =P

Keep up the great work VB!

  This is a great video series Gene. It's cool to see people like you adding great content to the forum that most people would charge for. It is making this offline section invaluable.
  
  FYI-You mention attaching a template to the post. Not sure if you maybe forgot or were not able to post it. Just thought I would let you know.

Thanks, Dexx! Yes, hopefully the free aspect doesn't scare off people.

I could have easily taken 2 of the lead generation ideas in these videos, added a template, and maybe another thing or two and sold it as a WSO.

Thanks Jacer.

The template - I didn't forget about it. I went to attach it and I couldn't since you can't attach Publisher files. So I'll have to upload it to my site or convert it to word (which would take awhile).

Still have to take care of that and upload another video or two. But got sidetracked with other things, sleep, and digging my car out of the snow we got last night/this morning.

Keep an eye out later today for the template and other video(s).

Hey Gene, thanks for uploading this. While I "know" most of this already, you pack tons of concise info in a very short time. In fact, I'd love to get my hands on the Powerpoint files you use for the vids !!!

This quote is indeed amazing :"Everything you desire is outside your comfort zone or else you'd have it already". I've read quite a few books and had not seen this one before.

The postcard method was actually a WSO, that's why I never openly discussed it as I'd feel I'd release "private" info, but now it's been months since he sold it so it's probably OK (don't remember whom as well even tough I bought it).

I've checked videos 1-3, and was about to see the "last one" but either I missed out many at first glance, or you've added more since then. Either way, this is great!

Thanks a lot. Your WSO is on my list of coming purchases. Unlike with IM, this time, I'll buy "offline" stuff only after I've made money, probably investing around 5-10% back in education. I know enough to make some nice dough, I just need to get off my butt and get after it (and I'm doing that since yesterday, as planned, so I'm halfway there)

Thanks

I heard it from one of the guys I follow...he isn't in the sales/marketing/IM field.

Which postcard? The yellow page one or the google one?

The YP one I learned from another consultant...not on here. He doesn't sell WSO's.

The other one, I learned from a friend who just recently learned it. Not sure where he got it from, but I know it was NOT a WSO.

So if it was in a WSO, that person got it from someone else.

"Buy after you've made money" is a great idea. Smarter than "buy buy buy and never do anything." Always good to make money first and invest a small part of it back into educating yourself and becoming better. "School is never out for a pro." Best of luck!

I made mention of this offline marketing strategy in one of my WSO's
and on my postcard marketing website Offline Marketing Magnet:

Guy by the name M. H. It blew me away when I first saw it and Gene
(on this thread... see Video #3) does an awesome job using this principle. You basically
'tear the person's yellow page ad apart' ....

I called it "Insult Marketing" Ha-ha.

P.S. I was watching CNBC special last night on 'Super Market' marketing...and one CEO lady said "part of success is knowing who to copy". There's a lot of Dan Kennedy-esqe stuff I copy in any marketing I do.... and a series of NO B. S. books.

The thing in IM is that it's so virtual that we almost get programmed to "seek out a better way". In consulting, it comes down to many tangible things we have direct and total control over, and one of them is certainly PROSPECTING. The thing we somehow want to avoid

Basically, there's no excuse. And the refinements and improvements we can get by learning new things are wayyyy higher after we've actually tested methods in the real world and earned some stripes with experience.

Anyway, thanks for everything Gene, I truly appreciate it!

Well both actually.

The other one, I learned from a friend who just recently learned it. Not sure where he got it from, but I know it was NOT a WSO.

So if it was in a WSO, that person got it from someone else.

Who came up with what first anyway. Intellectual property on things like that is so fuzzy. And obviously, it's not because I learn something first from source XYZ that they did come out with it first, WSO or not... After a while, it's probably irrelevant anyway as it becomes "public knowledge" (if it wasn't in the first place and then packaged as a WSO) .

I'm just glad to see an experienced consultant as yourself favor lumpy mail and postcards as a prospecting method. It certainly validates that approach in my eyes. I intend to use that one to get entree level business small deals (mainly autoresponders and Google listings) and transform some of them into real consulting clients afterward. Do you ever try to get high end consulting deals directly for the direct mail method?

Do you ever try to get high end consulting deals directly for the direct mail method?

Using the first one (Yellow Pages postcard), the only thing that would really be the same is the headline. Every postcard will have a different ad on it and different "tips" about that ad. So it's not really the same. And if you change the headline, it's not really the same at all. Same concept but not the same ad. So I don't see any issues here. Not to mention when I learned it, the person gave it away freely.

Haha, I think I disappointed a lot of male Warriors when I released those videos.

If I was female and looked like that, I wouldn't be hanging out on a forum trying to make it in IM. I'd be modeling somewhere.

I think you have already achieved your goal of offering free content that is better than most paid offerings.

Your post could have easily been a WSO and one that would have been well worth the money.

I'd give it a 10 stars rating but WF only goes to 5.

Excellent all around!

Sir Vagabond, I clicked and saved on the publisher link, but it wouldn't open for me. May I ask you or another Warrior to send it to me? I don't have enough posts to insert my email, but my skype is valid and I can message someone from that.

I sure would appreciate it! Thank you!

I just emailed you about this.

But just to let you and everyone else know, I edited the webpage so you should be able to download the file from there now if you want. I tried it on my computer and it worked.

Sorry, just seeing this now.

Phone Scripts - No set script to share here, as obviously it depends on a many factors. But just test different scripts and see which ones work best. This, of course, means you have to track.

For call ins from ads, which I assume is what you are asking about (??), don't forget to ask for things like a tracking #. Basically, you want to find out which ad prompted the call. And of course always ask for the sale. Don't assume people will order/know how to order/know what to do next.

Yellow Page Ads - First I'd give more thought to using Yellow Page ads. I personally hate them. But, there are times where they have worked for businesses.

The most obvious thing to me with a Yellow Page ad is to make it stand out. You'll notice most ads all resemble each other and say the same thing. So if all the ads look the same and sound the same, then why would a customer call one business over the other?

"Free Report" type ads can work well. Something like "7 things you need to know before hiring an attorney" or something along those lines. Then just direct them to a free recorded message to leave their info, or an opt in page.

Bottom line, you want to stand out and get noticed.

But again, I'd give more thought to if the YP's is the best use of a businesses ad budget. I'd explore other avenues first.

Thanks

Hi Gene,

I HAD to hit pause while 80% through video 1. I then scurried over to Youtube and downloaded all your vids.

GREAT work. THANK YOU very much. I haven't seen the vids yet so don't know where to follow you/ your mailing list. Please please please send it to me by PM and I will subscribe using my primary email ID and not my standard opt-in ID where I have 43,000 unread tips from the gurus promising to change my life forever.

PS - The FREE tag probably reduces the perceived value of the post and and the Adriana avatar doesn't help any either. I almost skipped this one. I'd change it if I were you. Just my 0.002 cents.

It is incredibly generous of you to provide these videos for
free. Easily beats a lot of offline WSOs. Even though I know a lot that was in the videos, it was a great refresher course. I really loved the Excel spreadsheet in the last vid. Can you provide more info about it? A Paul Lumberg (?) product? That name is unfamiliar to me. I can really see using it could help close a lot of visually oriented prospects: the show-me-the-numbers prospects.

Thanks

Great example of moving the "free line". If you provide great content like these for free...
So I ordered your mind map, looking forward to devouring it.

Hi,

You can click on the link in my sig, on the far right (NoBsMarketingAdvice), that will take you to a page where you can sign up. And don' worry, I won't send you a bunch of junk emails. I'm so sick of them I unsubscribed from almost every one.

Hi Dee,

Glad you liked it. That pair of shoes is STILL sitting in the box.

And yes, I think part fo the reason I bought them is vecause I was impressed with how the sales woman sold them to me. I got talking to her afterward and was asking her some questions. She has been at that store for over 10 years. She was very good at selling...nice, friendly, caring, helpful, and had the timing just perfect on the up sell.

Thanks again for the spreadsheet. It's a wonderful resource.
I am even more grateful to you for introducing me to Paul Lemberg.
He's in my neck of the woods...so to speak. Did some research on him.
His coaching and speaking rates rival Jay Abraham. It seems like he was
mentored by him.

The best lesson was how he has positioned himself. Getting there...slowly.

Thanks

As for the publisher file, I don't have this particular MS product pre-installed, thus besides upgrading/buying said product, do you know of any free alternatives that would allow me to view the file?

Just save the file as a JPG (or PNG). Then, when you're in Publisher, insert a picture.

Respect dude!!!

What a contribution... you could have easily made that into product, and its actually much better than most products and with more marketing principals than most "offline marketing courses" out there!!!

And thats why eventually most people fail, they have a system handed to them but no knowledge about its foundations.
