The Purpose of a Business: "Create and Keep A Customer"    The #1Absolute In Business (any business):    "You Can't Sell To Someone That Doesn't WANT to Listen"    The #1 Purpose Of Marketing:     Make Qualified Prospects WANT To Listen    You're In Business - Growing your business is THE goal and increased sales, revenue, and profits are the metrics you'll be using to measure your progress.  If you're happy to just kind of stay where you are or just "get by" there won't be much on this website to interest you.  That's because Exselleration is dedicated teaching you how to crush the competition. The basis for everything we do at Exselleration is a truth proclaimed by Peter Drucker....... every business owner and entrepreneur must understand.  It's a truth that will determine the health of your business and whether or not you'll ever reach your vision.  Set goals, make plans, implement systems, invest capital, train your people, manage your client's expectations and deliver what you promise -- Do all of these things and more, but do them with these two basic, critical principles foremost.  Of course, your business will still need to do all of the things that are necessary to deliver your value to your customers.  But, as you do, keep in mind that everyone of those things are costs, necessary costs, but costs none-the-less. But when you innovate, when you make your business different, unique, better than your competition...now that's what will give your business the opportunity to really make money.  Oh, you can get clients and customers to pay for what you sell, but until your company is "PERCIEVED" to be different than your competitors, it'll be hard to get them to pay what its worth.  If your company isn't any different  than the competition, it'll be their price that sets yours.    So make sure your product or service - YOUR COMPANY - is different, better and unique, because then it's you that sets the price, it's you that delivers the real value to the market.

Now let's assume you've innovated your company and what you sell, how you sell, and the way you service the customers after the sale, is different, better and unique.  You spent untold hours, tons of effort and lots of money just so your competitors are forced to compete with you. But that big problem still exists - you still aren't making the sales, getting the business, making the money you should be making.  Your business is absolutely great, but.........!  So what's the problem now?   What's your best sales pitch? What's your marketing strategy? What is it you say when you make that call to a prospect...for the 3rd, 4th or 10th time: "Are your ready to buy yet?"  Let me ask you a couple of questions:  "Did you tell all those prospects out there, in your marketplace, how you're different, better and unique?" I don't mean did you say "We're better".  I mean did you tell them "why" you're better?  Anyone can say they're better, but can you prove it, provide real evidence?  If you can and you did (which I doubt), how did you tell them?  Did they understand why you're better? Did you tell them how you delivered more value, what your systems are, what your training is like, how you chose the very best people, materials, processes and follow-up, follow-up, follow-up with every sale to make sure the client has gotten what you promised and understands how it works and what it does.  If you didn't, then how in the dickens are your prospects going to know?  HOW WILL THEY KNOW IF YOU DON"T TELL THEM? What is the "perception" of what you do and how you do it, in the marketplace?  This is important because it's the perception that determines your ability to attract the kind of business, the kind of customers you want.  The perception is more important than the reality.  If the marketplace doesn't perceive value in what you deliver, they won't pay for it either.  If you want to be paid what you're worth be sure that the marketplace's perception is in line with your value. Now - how do you know what the perception of your company is in the marketplace? How do they build that perception? If you're working to grow, it's your marketing that delivers that message. How do your prospects learn about your company? Do you use billboards, radio, TV, magazines, yellow-pages, pop-ups, websites, newspapers, seminars, or any of the other 15 or 30 ways that you can contact and "talk to anyone of them? Or are you now a social media maven, driving new networks and groups through Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter (just to name a few)?  Whichever one, or more you use, how did you chose it?  Did your prospects see it?  Did they read it?  What did they do After they read it?  What did you want them to do?

Your Big Problem - Your Marketing (still) Doesn't Work What we hear, over and over, from the owners and managers of companies, that are trying to grow, is "we've spent precious dollars on advertising, direct mail and other tactical methods, to generate more business and what happened............NOTHING!"  This means that the return on the investment for the marketing progrqam, just wasn't acceptable. It just wasn't enough to justify investing more time and money. More often than not what we hear is "we're not spending any more money on marketing because it doesn't work". Even though marketing is the key to the success of every growing company on the planet, what every company does is go back to relying on referrals, networking and word of mouth to generate new leads.  What this should tell you is:  Your marketing strategy is......(oh, you don't have a marketing strategy). What you have is a series of tactical attempts at marketing without a defined strategy.  To overcome this problem your company's strategy must be about: "WHAT YOU SAY";  HOW YOU SAY IT"; and "WHO YOU SAY IT TO".  If after seeing, hearing, reading your marketing pieces your prospects aren't ready, if they don't "WANT" to listen - then your marketing isn't working.  What we do at Exselleration is: FIX that!
