This past summer, the leader of a local small business group asked me if I’d be willing to share my “knowledge and expertise” with members of her group to help them sell more.
Now, if this is your first time reading the Business Writing Solutions blog and you don’t know which topics I have “knowledge and expertise” in, then this is a good time for me to let you know.
I have “knowledge and expertise” on the topic of writing to most effectively market any business – a topic that’s generally defined as marketing communications.
In other words, I help businesses create and implement the marketing messages they need to sell more.
Now that you know more about me, let’s get back to her offer – and how it can help you sell more today…
3 Things I Considered Before Making My Decision to Help You Sell More
In the days after, I took some time to review her offer and think about everything that would be involved in fulfilling my commitment if I accepted the invitation. So I asked myself:
1. Do I have the time for this?
2. What do I need to do make the instruction nothing less than excellent?
3. How can I guarantee that everyone will be able to apply what they learned from me in running and marketing their own businesses?
Once I was confident in my answers to those questions, I made my decision:
We are going to help small business owners and entrepreneurs learn how to sell more through effective marketing communication.
The main reason I decided to accept the offer was because I wanted to share what I knew with people who could benefit most from knowing the same information.
After I told her I would accept her offer, we started putting the pieces in place to help you sell more through effective writing techniques that you won’t learn anywhere else.
Making it Happen
The small business leader – her name is Heidi – and I immediately started working to make the program as valuable as possible to small businesses and entrepreneurs.
The first thing we did was determine what small businesses and entrepreneurs would benefit most from knowing about marketing writing. Heidi had a lot of insight to offer in this area.
Her experience working with small business owners and entrepreneurs gave her a first-hand account into what they want to know most in the world of marketing. She knew their areas of concern and what questions they had. She knew what they wanted to learn more about. And she knew what small business owners and entrepreneurs would want to be able to do with the information they learned – which is primarily to sell more and communicate more effectively.
Plus, Heidi and I are both small business owners ourselves, so we were analyzing all of our learning topics through the same lens that our audience would.
We proposed, determined, refined, critiqued, and then further refined the specific areas of instruction. We spent weeks working through this process. And then, this process led us to a final decision about what the program would teach.
4 Steps to Sales & Marketing Communications Success
To help small business owners and entrepreneurs increase their sales through marketing communications, we decided that the program would teach them how to:
- Create the marketing messages critical to their success
- Gain loyal repeat clients and web visitors through engaging promotional content
- Present the benefits of their product or service in a way that persuades prospects to buy
- Communicate with customers by using effective professional language
I learned how to do all of the above through months of specialized training coupled with hard-earned experience working on marketing campaigns for different businesses in various industries. (You can learn more about my marketing communications experience by clicking the event registration link at the bottom of this post.)
Discovering the ingredients of an effective marketing communication that helps you sell more requires a lot more time and experience than anyone who is not a marketing professional realistically has to offer.
You need to know what strategies lead to effective engagement, learn what techniques people react positively to, and then measure their effect on sales. And you need a lot of time.
I’ve made those discoveries and learned what works over (lots of) time. And now you can too – but you won’t have to spend days and weeks and months working on a campaign to learn like I did.
