How to be Sequentially Superior
Email is an important aspect of marketing online. But a single email is NEVER enough and in fact can be more costly down the road. Here's why... Like standard advertising, it takes repetition in order to get people to first absorb the message, understand it and then ultimately take action. Naturally, some people will immediately respond while others need to see the message more than once before they even think about responding. The reason is that each individual has a specific buying behavior. For example, the marketplace is divided into several, graduated segments that are based on such behaviors. They are:
Innovators are risk-takers and venturesome. They usually respond to new offers immediately and quickly, without giving them much thought. Early adopters are impulsive, too, and respond to new ideas early taking action soon after the innovators do, albeit a little more carefully. The bulk of the market consist of the "middle majority" (68%), consisting of the early and late majorities. It's the biggest "piece of the pie." The first half, or early majority, typically respond to new ideas fairly quickly but are a little more cautious and conservative than early adopters. The late majority, however, are more skeptical, careful and slow. They take their time, usually shop around and need to see offers more than a few times before giving them any consideration. The final segment, or laggards, are the slowest to respond. They take action only after time has elapsed, usually once everyone else has done so. So, what does it all mean to you? Ultimately, the important thing to note here is that a marketer's goal is to effectively reach, persuade and incite the largest segment... The middle majority (68% of your market). But doing so is difficult to do with a mere, single mailing. Repeating your marketing message more than once is essential with this group. Email marketing is much like blacksmithing. To mold the metal, you must hit the iron: 1) while it's hot, 2) in the right way and 3) many times. Similarly, since the bulk of most sales occur in the follow-up process, you need to follow up in a timely, consistent and compelling manner. |
Why a Next Generation Autoresponder?
At the beginning, I used to store my prospects' emails in a database and manually deliver regular mailings to them. That did the job but I was losing out on a much greater potential.
I wasted time and money doing all the follow-ups by hand, worked tirelessly to keep track of which prospect needed which message, and lost tons of sales when I stopped...
I was leaving money on the table!
So, I decided to create GetResponse, which is the next generation of smart autoresponders that quite literally revolutionized the way I conducted my online marketing.
It helped put my business completely on autopilot... I never had to lift a finger ever again. What a difference! My sales shot up, my free time blossomed and my profits exploded!
It took me a while before I understood the power of following up with my prospects. You, too, won't fully appreciate the benefits of using smart autoresponders in your business until you actually try them. I guarantee you'll be amazed!
Once you're up and running, and if you do it right, you'll start seeing the immense power of this tool almost immediately as it helps you convert up to 400% more prospects into sales!
