One of the top business, sales, and marketing experts on earth is Mr. Dan Kennedy. Dan has won international recognition as a "millionaire-maker," helping people in dozens of different businesses turn their ideas into fortunes.
Entrepreneur Magazine says that Dan Kennedy has "at least 101 moneymaking ideas for any business owner."
'Millionaire-Maker' Dan Kennedy moves with remarkable ease from one very different field to another, working with clients in 62 different businesses, industries and professions, earning as much as $250,000.00 in a single month providing unusual direct-response advertising and direct marketing advice, strategy, copywriting and marketing materials, video production and infomercials, and profit improvement systems.
Kennedy's clients include everything from sole entrepreneurs to huge corporations. Here are just a few examples - there's the husband-and-wife couple who came to Dan with an idea, a mountain of debt, and failing advertising. Less than two years later, they have zero debt and a home-based mail-order business generating over 200 000.00 a month at about a 40% profit margin. Or, there's the now-giant Guthy-Renker Corporation, famous for its celebrity infomercials with Victoria Principal and Vanna White, and its Tony Robbins infomercials. Guthy-Renker is a 200-million dollar+ a year business now, and Dan's been a key member of their brain trust since their very first infomercial (Think And Grow Rich). Or there's U.S. Gold, a company that has twice increased its sales by millions with Dan Kennedy provided marketing breakthroughs. And the list goes on and on and on.
Dan immediately made my business healthy again by one simple principle that I was neglecting. I think it is neglected by a lot of businesses. Dan believes simply that having strong relationships with existing customers is an essential growth and profit center in a business. In fact, he sees it as even more vital then getting new customers. Taking this principle to heart, we revitalized two of our businesses to stability, then profitability, by becoming excellent at customer service.
Part of that means learning how to deal with and engender loyalty in your after they have had a problem with something you are doing. Now there are definitely problem clients out there and they need to be fired as customers. But many times, it is a great client who may bring more future business, if you can make the situation right. A client can take offense to a number of things when it comes to doing business with you. Whether it be the actual product, your prices, or your customer service, some clients just find things to gripe about. And you can't ignore their complaints. Instead, acknowledge their problem and defuse the situation by:
1. Thanking them. Thank him/her for their comment, even if it was expressed in an impolite manner. Try to remember that their attack is not personal, and it's best that you don't treat it that way. Keep your composure and remain cool.
2. Starting your phrase with, "Let me see if I understand you completely." Then restate the person's complaint. This will do two things. First of all, it gives the person a chance to calm down. And secondly, it shows the client that you are truly listening and taking their concerns seriously.
3. Finding at least one thing in their complaint that you can agree with. Regardless of how unfounded their complaint is in your mind, you should pick out one major point that you can agree with. Then, build your rebuttal on that point. For instance: "Well, Mr. Harris, I can certainly understand you being upset about delivery being late. I will personally make sure that it doesn't happen again. Now, about your other concerns..." This lets them know that you are not defensive about the situation, and you would rather help solve their problem than make excuses.
4. Solving the problem. The only reason a client picks a fight in the first place is to let you know that they have a problem. It's your job to play along and solve that problem. Remember, this is your chance to turn a negative situation into a positive one and actually gain your client's loyalty.
In my mind the right instruction saved my business. I learned about total customer value and how refocusing on that alone can make things fun and profitable, where before it looked dreary and hopeless. Dan Kennedy's Magnetic Marketing is the centerpiece of his teachings. He'll let anyone try it for 1 year with a full money back guarantee with no hassles or fuss. Sometimes when you come to the point where things aren't working and you have nothing to lose. That's when the right teacher appears. Or maybe you are just starting and can't afford set backs. Simply walk the path of the millionaire business men.
I am betting Magnetic Marketing and all Dan's other real world profit making teachings will be the bedrock of your business and all your future businesses.
Thanks for your time in reading this article,
Hope you found something that you can use in your life and in your business.
