Duct Tape Marketing Talking Logo

Are You Blah-Blah?

One of the core skills you need in business, is a way to succinctly share what you do with people.

The “Talking Logo” helps you achieve this.

The video is only about 3-minutes, and will give you the guidance you need to create your perfect business introduction.

The “Talking Logo” answers the question, “So, what do you do for a living?”

If you’re speaking to your target audience, the response you want after you share your “Talking Logo” is, “Really, how do you do that?”

The 3-part formula is simple, and succinct.

Part 1 Addresses your target market
Action verb: I show, I teach, I help
Target market: Business owners, teachers, all the single ladies, etc

Part 2 focuses on a problem, frustration, or want that market has
How to: Solve a problem, get a result, or meet a need

Part 3 answers the question, “How do you do that?”
This where you insert your unique way of delivering on your talking logo

For example, here is my “Talking Logo” and response to “How do you do that?”

Talking Logo: I teach business owners how to solve the problem of getting more customers.

How do I do that?: I do this by teaching them how to create & operate a marketing & selling system that
makes sales happen by design, not accident.

Now go and create your own “Talking Logo” for the perfect business introduction to your business.

Chuck Taylors, simple, effective, affordable

Simple, Effective, Affordable

If you need to get from point A, to point B, what’s the easiest way to get there?

A straight line of course.

If you’re an athlete, or a runner, you probably spent at least $100 plus on your last pair of shoes.

When you bought your shoes, you probably wanted comfort, style, speed, and a host of other items.

Simple, effective, and affordable were not your priorities.

A simple, effective, and affordable shoe for everyday use is the Converse Chuck Taylor.

The basic model is usually around $45 without a sale.

I got my last pair for about $32 on sale, yay me!

AJ's Chucks

AJ's Chucks

I don’t run in them, but they do get me from point A to point B.

And some people would even say they do it in style.

Not my wife, she thinks they’re ugly.

For the majority of small business owners, you want your marketing to do the same thing.

Help you get from point A to point B in a simple, effective, and affordable manner.

  • Simple steps that you can understand.
  • Effective in helping you grow your business.
  • Affordable so you don’t have to get a 2nd mortgage to implement it.

 You want to simplify your life, not make it more difficult.

  • How can you simplify your current system of marketing?
  • How can you clarify what the perfect marketing result is for you?
  • How can you make your message more effective?
  • How can you lower your client acquisition cost?

That’s it.

My message was simple for you.

Now go and conquer my small business warrior!

How to Create Your Business Development Referral Strategy

Worlds greatest business development strategy, referrals!

Referrals want to talk

Referrals are Friendly

How many times have you said it? “Referrals are my best business development strategy.”

On the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month I train a group of B2B small business owners on how to grow their business using a marketing system. Yes, Duct Tape Marketing is the platform I use in this program.

So let’s pretend for a minute that you are a part of that group.

The topic you will learn about today is “Referral Marketing and Strategic Partnering” as a foundational part of your business development strategy.

Answer 3 questions:

  1. Do you know what % of your business comes from referrals?
  2. Do you know how many referrals do you get each year?
  3. Do you know what % of referrals convert into clients?

In this current group of 10 business owners, everyone can be traced back to a referral.

The key point I want you to take away today is the metrics you want to track with referrals.

When you understand how powerful referrals are in your business, you will start to realize you need to make this more systematic in your business.

4 Tips

Here are 4 quick tips to help you get started on creating your own referral system as part of your business development strategy.

  • Strategy: is about identifying your referral champions
    • Your ideal clients refer, who are they?
    • Find what other companies your ideal clients refer, they could be strategic partners
    • Ask for referrals early in the business relationship, this is your high point
  • Education: is about knowing who and how to refer you, and your follow-up
    • A bad or wrong referral doesn’t help anyone?
  • Creativity: is about creative ways to keep you top of mind
    • What is something off the wall or creative you can do for referrals?
  • Follow-up: is about how you actually follow-up with leads
    • Groups to think about are: referred leads, referral sources
    • How do you keep your referral sources in the loop now?

Last Tip

Make you document this on paper, or it will just a nice discussion you had.

Now go and start conquering your business development referral strategy my small business warriors!
