A More Personal Approach In Marketing

In order to win friends and influence people, you need to make them feel important. In order to get people to buy from you, you need to make them your friends and not just your clients.

Although the first is taken from a Dale Carnegie principle of making friends and successfully influencing them, the same principle definitely applies to your marketing strategy for your business.

According to Dale Carnegie, the core of every person’s needs is to feel important. If you want to convince people to your line of thinking, you need to make them like you. And the only way to do that is to take interest in what they do, feel, and need.

To increase your sales, you need to apply a more personal approach to your marketing campaign. Take one author’s words as your personal rule, “to make more sales, make more friends”.

The more conventional way of marketing is to ask questions and listen to the answers. This is more to help you to convince them to buy from you rather than to know what your clients really need.

To make more sales, we need to do a total makeover – instead of asking questions and listening to the answers to gather information for your sales pitch, why not be genuinely interested in what your clients have to say. And be sincere in really getting your clients’ needs met, rather than the profits.

In order to have a successful marketing campaign, you need to focus not on your desired results but pay attention to what your clients really want. When you learn to unselfishly serve others, then you will stand out and be above any of your competition. Because rarely do businesses get their clients’ needs first before profits.

Let’s take for example your business card printing piece.

Your business cards are reflections of what you are to your clients’ perception. What you have in your business cards are what your clients would have as their first impression of you.

Instead of making them wary of your sales pitch and your intentions, let your business cards instead reflect how you really want your clients to see you – a business that is sincerely interested in making their lives better.

When you are able to produce a more personal business card printing campaign, then and only then will you truly be successful not only in your promotional strategy, but more importantly, in getting your business to be above the rest.
