What do you think of customers being drawn to you like a Magnet?
The “Millionaire Maker” Dan Kennedy didn’t get that nickname and the acclaim that goes with it by being mediocre. His focus is to show his clients the exact road map to take their ideas and turn their ideas into a successful business.
When entrepreneur magazine says about you: “Dan Kennedy has 101 money making ideas for any business owner.”, that is powerful stuff. He is able to take his principles and put them to work for his clients in any industry or business. He currently works with clients in roughly 60 businesses. In any given year, he’ll make as much as a quarter million dollars in a month providing strategies in direct marketing, 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.
On the other hand there is Dan’s marketing consultations with billion dollar information marketing company Guthy Renker. Dan helped U.S. Gold increase its revenues by millions. The list goes 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.
The thing that made the biggest difference in turning around our business was learning about what it meant to give excellent customer service and to set out to doing those things consistently. This means dealing with the customers in all states of emotion. Customers are just easier to deal with when everything goes the way they want it. The fact is that things don’t always please them. So customer service is really about managing the times when they aren’t happy. It is a much harder skill to master but with the potential for great rewards. The goal is to take the difficulty and grow customer loyalty by how you handle it.
Customers can and do take offense to any number of things when it comes to doing business with you. Often they are upset with the product, the prices or the customer support. You can’t simply ignore their complaints. Start by acknowledging the problem and set about defusing the situation by:
Thanking them. Even if they made a comment in way which was impolite, thank them anyway. Do not play the victim and take any of this personally. Remain calm and composed.
Beginning your phrase with, “Let me see if I understand you completely.” Then restate the complaint of the customer. This accomplishes two things. First, it gives the customer pause and a moment to calm down. Second, it shows that you are listening and taking their concerns seriously.
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.
Finding a solution to the problem. Remember, the only reason a client picks a fight in the first place is to get their point across that they have a problem. Your job is to always stay focused on solving that problem. Don’t forget that when you handle this situation correctly, you will gain more customer loyalty and this will really pump up your bottom line.
I will tell you without hesitation that these techniques saved my business. I knew nothing about total customer value and what it meant to my bottom line. The understanding of the importance of TCV will make you stronger in customer service all by itself. Dan’s “Magnetic Marketing” is the ultimate resource for marketing principles that work to change the fortunes of your business, fast. It is these simple, low cost to no cost strategies, which make the biggest difference. Before Magnetic Marketing, I was ignorant to these concepts.
Dan backs up Magnetic Marketing with a full year’s money back guarantee. Anytime you want to send it back, there will be no hassles, just a full refund. I think that many times, the student really has to be ready for the right teacher appears. With a new business, with limited money to lose, missteps or wrong trails can destroy you before you even start. If you are already going, but just haven’t solved the riddle of how to market for big money profits, you might be ready for Dan Kennedy and the magic of Magnetic Marketing. It could make all the difference and you have nothing at all to lose.
I am not a fan of trying to be a pioneer in a field where there is so much saturation of information and strategies. It only leave me shot up and full of arrows. When I picked the right teacher, the one who makes people money again and again, my fortunes turned. It totally pays to stop guessing and to simply copy the way people are making money.
