admin - Five Essentials of World-Class Marketing

What do customers get from you, and what do they get from your competitor? This is the essence of the customer experience, and it’s what differentiates your business. The better you are at shaping that experience, the greater your reach—and your profits.


Force # 3 of the 7 Forces of Business Mastery is World-Class Marketing. Fundamentally, it requires knowing:



  • Who your customers are, and what they want and need

  • How to tell your core story in a way that compels them to buy

  • Everything there is to know about your product or service, so you can educate your prospects about why your offering is the best choice


A strategic social media presence can help make your customer service more responsive, enable you to reconnect and reengage with your customers, and make your marketing truly world-class. Here are five essential keys to making it happen.


1. Be Available


You are there for your customers when they need you. In today’s always-on environment, you must meet that expectation by helping your customers access information, get help, and share experiences, on their schedule, across different forms of media, including Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other

channels. Spend a few minutes daily monitoring your social media presence, or assign a staff member to do so, and you will gain valuable intelligence about your prospects and customers.


2. Respond Quickly and With Meaning


Everything is immediate now. Customers expect prompt interactions. A quick reply is valuable only when you fully understand a customer’s questions, intentions, and needs. You’ve spent years learning the competition; now it’s time to learn your customers, and respond in a meaningful fashion when they need your help.


3. Understand Their Goals, Help Them Make Informed Decisions


Social media channels provide the opportunity to ask your prospects about what they really want from your product or service. In this consultative approach to marketing, you’re letting each customer know, “We’re listening, and we want to establish a long-term relationship with you.” When you really understand your customers’ needs, you can take massive action to create the outcomes that make them feel welcome, important, and comfortable.


4. Collaborate With Your Customers to Create Value


You’re not just marketing a product—you’re partnering with your customers. Successful businesses are more collaborative now than ever before, adding value that helps clients realize their goals. You must tailor your products and services to the customer, not the other way around, and that begins with your marketing outreach.


5. Add a Personal Touch


You probably remember every detail from your company’s earliest days—including the face of your very first customer. Are your current customers as memorable? Individualized relationships now trump routine transactions. A thoughtful social media strategy, properly executed, will enable you to become more familiar with your customers. You’ll then be in a position to ask questions, gather intelligence, become more of a partner, and add the personalized grace notes that make your customers into raving fans.



“I remember saying, ‘Why can’t I be one of those people?’ and I just felt like Tony was telling you that you can, and I really felt that. I felt that if those guys can do it, why the hell can’t I? And ten years later I am.”

—Dan Caldwell, Owner of TapouT Clothing

  Seeing Only Red in a Sea of Blue   In my talks, I often play this game with the audience. I ask them to look around the room and count how many red shirts there are. After half-a-minute, I tell them to close their eyes. I ask them, “Are you ready with your answer?” They all reply with a resounding yes. Then I ask them, “Okay. How many blue shirts did you see?” They burst out laughing. And they try to guess. But no one gets the right answer. Why? Because they weren’t focused on the blue shirts but on the red. The point of this little exercise is to show them that every reality, every situation, every circumstance always has many sides. But we only see one side! Always.   You’re Not a Grasshopper   Let me tell you one of my all-time favorite stories in the Bible. The Israelites who escaped Egypt (think “Ten Commandments” with Charlton Heston) were now at the edge of the Promised Land. Not knowing what it was like, they sent 12 spies to scout the land i...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - To MILF or not to MILF this Mothers Day

I don’t know if you have those to-do piles that just sit there, you WANT to get to them, you MEAN to get to them, and you OUGHT to get to them… while this video was in one of those piles. It took less than 10 minutes to do. Why did I put it off? Well if you’re like me, we only procrastinate with things we either don’t really want to do, or doing them will make us have to face something we’re not ready to face, internally or externally. We’re literally choosing not to face it and calling it procrastination. So I guess I didn’t want to face/own being a MILF. Really owning my badass queen Harley boots, pole dancing, MILF essence. I don’t even know what I’ve really made it all mean… just that I’m WAY more potent than I realize and my erotic creature is WAY overdue coming out to play, to create adventures, to embrace life and to shine!! So you know I call my women’s membership Redefining Sexuality , because I sure don’t care for the definition of sex or sexy… it’s void of honor, care and ...
