Lynn Terry – Internet Marketer

Today I want to share a great opportunity to take your business to the next level by learning all things online to take your offline business to the next level. Lynn Terry has opened up her Elite membership – the forum that goes on behind closed doors – at the regular forum for SSWT – Self Starters Weekly Tips.

As a Health Coaching Practitioner I know what it is to be technically challenged in making your web presence felt.  Yet Web 2.0 has introduced an opportunity to make a splash and have more than a stagnant page that customers find through your paper marketing, but may never click-through to book.

Instead we can begin to have an open dialogue with prospective and existing clients and it may be the deciding factor that enables a new client to make a better informed decision when they see how you (their prospective health worker) present yourself online, as opposed to a competitor who simply has a ‘going nowhere’ style website.  And as such there is now a greater opportunity to connect.

I’ve been an Elite member since last autumn and don’t really think I would still be online but for Lynn’s forum with the brilliant help that she and other supportive members provide there … its such a great resource of wonderful people so willing to share their experiences, information and tips – and of course its a two-way street.  My main contribution has usually been that of encouragement and cheering on from the sidelines.

As someone who has tried to crack the code … I’ve realized there is so much to learn … Not so challenging if you are techie minded … But for a technophobe such as I the forum is usually my first ‘port of call’, and don’t be afraid to ask daft questions, because I’ve probably been there before you!

As an offshoot to the Elite Membership, Traci Knoppe (one of the leading lights in the group with around 10-yrs experience in web design and blogging – I mentioned her on another post) set up a WordPress Skype group – where all questions (from Elite members) can be shot in there and Traci generally answers in no time, she’s always willing to help and has been a wonderful support to me.

In the private forum, Lynn provides members access to some great freebies that can aid your online progress and she gives her group the heads-up on the latest in online/internet marketing … You will also find a massive resource of services that people offer often at reduced rates to fellow members that will allow a fast-track to where you want to be …

For me the best thing of all is the integrity of Lynn’s approach and the people that she Joint Ventures with, which is the measure of her. She’s not stand-offish at all, as around 2-dozen Elite members who recently attended the NAMS event in Atlanta, Georgia (I so wanted to be there and more on that next time) will happily testify and I’ve seen photographic evidence …

What makes Lynn Terry different from the rest?

She genuinely likes people and wants to help them similarly obtain the dream lifestyle that she lives … working a few-ish hours per week in a niche that she absolutely loves.  Simple as …

And with that I can highly recommend Lynn Terry’s ELITE membership … Check it out here …

More Leads – More Clients – More Sales

This week in Belfast Bernadette Doyle together with co-presenters, Mari Smith and the Barefoot Executive – Carrie Wilkerson are going to share their business techniques and knowledge to help us fill our diaries and order books with business appointments and full order books.

Client Magnets

She created her company to help small business solve the problem of attracting a steady stream of clients.  She was formerly a full-time training consultant, who previously worked with an impressive corporate client list and delivered sales training all over the world.  She became disillusioned with ‘trading time for money’ and wanted to seek out new ways to profit from her own expertise.

Since then she’s completely re-engineered her business-model and made the transition from full-time consultant to information marketer, relocated to Ireland and now runs her business part-time while raising her two sons. She set up websites that make her as much a £4,000 overnight while she sleeps and simultaneously delights in helping other business owners to do the same.

An Ideal Life

Bernadette’s a big believer in doing business on YOUR own terms and setting up your business so it supports your ideal lifestyle.  Since moving to Ireland, she’s specialized in running tele-seminars as they enable her to teach and sell to people all over the world without leaving home.  Her most recent tele-seminar generated over $100,000 in an hour …

At this event she’ll be showing you exactly how to do it – and of course YOU CAN!

She’ll share how to automate the front end of your business and the systems she created to generate an endless stream of visitors to her websites (without having to do a thing) – so what’s your investment in this event …

What Does It Cost

Check out the costs on the link page … Bernadette is offering easy payments without extra charges or interest on top of that … so you can pay in 6-easy stages OR two people can take the course for the price one and a half people.   Great value … and prices to Belfast equate to rail travel in the UK.

Alongside her co-presenters; Mari Smith and Carrie Wilkerson they offer a practical, cutting edged package of information to help YOU Really Move Your Business Forward in a BIG WAY in 2009.

Each speaker at the event was hand-picked by Bernadette because they Walk the Talk as they are already applying these strategies in their own businesses.  But if those aren’t enough reasons to  attend, here are 5 more …

Let’s face it, you don’t need one more ‘idea’:

1. Chances are you’re already overwhelmed with all the ideas that are currently swimming around in front of you … that’s why during this event, they’ll help you  to develop a plan that is right for YOU, that moves YOU forward.  So instead of leaving after 3-days bombarded with information, you’ll leave knowing EXACTLY which 2-3 things you need to focus on. You’ll have the clarity and focus you need for quantum leaps and BREAKTHROUGH RESULTS.

Get ‘up close’n'personal’ with Experts who are ALREADY producing the results you want:

1. There’s nothing like rubbing shoulders with people who are already getting the results you want for moving you forward. (Bernadette talks about how she personally credited one conversation she learned at dinner approximately 3-yrs ago) that has since resulted in over £500,000 of revenue to date.
   

ML MC MC Commitment to YOUR results:

1. The experts speaking at this event have been hand-picked by Bernadette Doyle firstly because  they are action-oriented people who already produce massive results in their own business, but more importantly because they share her values and commitment to helping others replicate their results and specialize in simplifying the complex.  They want you to enjoy the same success that they do.

Total IMMERSION

1. How often do you give yourself the gift of 3-Whole Days to focus solely on YOUR BUSINESS and your future plans for your business? This event might just be the best investment of time and money that you’ll EVER make.  If you’re serious about moving your business forward in a BIG way in 2009, you NEED to be there …

Networking

1. Bernadette Doyle attracts a unique following.  Talented people who make an enormous contribution to the world as well as becoming financially free … We can do both.   They know that there’s more than enough success, fun and abundance for EVERYONE and they can’t wait to share their  success, fun and abundance with YOU!  They’re including networking lunches and refreshments each day to help you connect with like-minded business owners. Many lucrative joint ventures have been set up at their events – perhaps YOU could be next!

I’ll see you there … click here to sign up …

If you decide to sign up or already have signed up …  please say hello at the EVENT … Its going to be a hum-dinger!

More Leads – More Clients – More Sales

Just came off a call speaking with Bernadette … she’s holding a wonderful event in Belfast from 7-9 May and I plan to be there …

If you’re looking to grow your business and are ready to take the plunge then get on board and come along – there aren’t many slots left and the total group size is only 70-people – which is a great for networking yet avoiding overwhelm from the crowd.

I can’t wait …  Its going to be AWESOME … and you don’t come away thinking I’ve got to do this this this and this … you develop your business vision and implementation plan as you go through the weekend.   And you spend one day purely on Sales – the thing that most of us have hangups with … So you’ll learn to overcome these too …

If it speaks to you then sign up and Grow Your Business the biggest of your ambitions …

Here’s a link to check it out and take another opportunity to listen again to a 3-pt Tele-seminar to get you to leap into the unknown and grow yourself in your business …

Enjoy …

Four Action Principles

Here’s a really interesting article about the 4-Action Principles of building and strengthening the structure of Your Small Therapy/Coaching Business or Practice (BSSYAB).

It can be likened to being like a house it has to be able to withstand the forces of time and nature. And the two components are:

• The Foundations of the Right Mindset – the right support system and the application of timeless success principles
• The Structure – that makes up the right actions that need to be taken for your business

Once your foundation is secure … with a mindset that pushes you past your self-limiting beliefs, it’s time to build and strengthen the structure of your small business or practice by taking 4-actions that involve the ongoing study and application of success principles:

• Define It – Discover your uniqueness and create your brand by making a platform from which you’ll share your message with the world
• Market It – Identify your target market / ideal client by developing and sustaining a relationship with your same
• Fuel It – Generate leads and keep your pipeline full
• Leverage It – Networking off and online and through social networking, by creating joint venture opportunities; with your own products and services that create residual and leveraged income

Here in Part One of the series, we’ll examine the first part, defining your small business / practice; discovering your uniqueness, creating your brand.

PT 1 – Discover Your Uniqueness

My first question is:

What would you say is unique about your business practice?  The chances are you may well give some features of your business., such as:

• My Therapy practice has a team of highly trained experts who keep up to date with techniques through continued training courses
  
• We have a newsletter that highlights special offers and offer Health tips
  
• We offer complimentary beverages
• With product lines that are industry leaders
• We use a cutting-edge software program that keeps track of the products customers buy, sets appointments for a year in advance
  

The Benefits

However the aspects that make your business unique come from further exploration than these surface attributes. It’s the benefits you offer – not the features – that make you unique.  And it’s important to dig deeper to explore all the benefits that your practice offer clients. Some of these examples may be:

• Clients leave our practice feeling rejuvenated having shifted their issue
• Clients always leave feeling heard, listened to, valued and relaxed
  
• Clients don’t have to spend time researching what the most appropriate products are because we source them on their behalf, some of which they’ll have sampled as part of their treatments and being available to browse.
  
• Because you are so up-to-date clients can rely on your information and treatments
  

Here’s an exercise to help you get in touch with your uniqueness.  List as many Benefits you can think of that your clients receive by doing business with you.  Be as imaginative as possible, don’t hold back, and don’t be shy about blowing your own horn – root ta toot …

Create Your Brand

What makes people care about your business is how well you satisfy their wants and how you make them feel in the process. And this experience is fundamental to creating your brand.

What is a brand?  Firstly, this is what IT IS NOT:

• Your company logo
• Your tag line
• Your business card : brochure : letterhead : website
• Your products or services
• Your niche area
• Your marketing or advertising

The Full Impact

However your brand should come through in everything you do, like your product, services, identity package, website and marketing.  Brand consists of two components:

• What clients experience when they have contact with your business practice
• How clients feel after they buy or use your products or services

Whats Your Buying Experience

Examine any well-known brands and see if you can identify your experiences in using them and what your perceptions are, and how you feel after doing business with them.  Clients respond to integrity and authenticity, and its up to you to provide the consistent opportunities for them to have this experience and perception of you and your business.

Market Leaders

Branding is for every business no matter what size.  Having a brand not only gives you a competitive edge and positions you as a market leader.  Going through the branding process helps you to experience your company through a fresh pair of eyes, because it takes time and thought to delve deeply into discovering your uniqueness and building your brand but you can begin the process by also answering the following questions:

• How do you want clients to feel when they buy from you and your services
• What do you want clients to say about you after they have bought from you or used you services
• Now begin to think of ways that you can create this experience for them and this will get you started on the amazing journey of creating your brand

Next Time

In the next part of the series, we’ll examine the second component of defining your business  practice in creating the platform from which you’ll take your message out to the world.
