Now back to that story I wanted to tell you…

Well, I had tons of time to "catch up on reading" during the long flight back to Canada.  And would you believe….In the February 2010 issue of Entrepreneur magazine..

Which I bought because the 'ad copy' on the cover of the magazine attracted me like sugar coated candy attracts a child…

Note – the ad copy contained the following fantastic headlines we can all learn from and use in our "swipe" files:

Smoke the competition P.17

+

WIN THE GOOGLE LOTTERY P. 73

BLOG LIKE A ROCK STAR P.52

Now, who wouldn't be seduced to buy the magazine whilst waiting to board the plane?

So here is what I found that totally excited me (and heck, I'm not even finished reading the entire magazine)…

The Win the Google Lottery was of course all about SEO, What you don't know about SEO….and guess what, the one thing that the article said is really up and coming and Google paying attention to…is Video.

And can you believe what the article said and I quote from page 75 of the February Issue of Entrepreneur magazine:

Video is the latest way to improve your Google ranking.

So whether you are a consultant selling SEO services to local
businesses…

Or whether you want your own business to get more traffic and sales…you have to position yourself with one of the best
video services out there…

I personally am full on board of this latest find and really encourage you to jump on board with me and set sail for some great Google rankings!

“Maria, can we go
get a fake cell phone?”

As I raised one of my eyebrows and wondered what type of game is Kaz playing on me now…I politely asked:

“Kaz, what do you mean?”

Kaz then said:

“My friend did it, he went to that cell phone store right there and got a fake cell phone”

Curious now as to how this was going to play out…I said:

“OK and he led me into the crowded store.”

In a blink of an eye, he walked right past the customer service reps and shoppers on the sales floor and went straight to the check out counter.

It was like seeing a snowplow move straight down a road just moving snow aside…as Kaz moved straight through the crowd of shoppers to a decision maker.

I thought to myself…Hmmmm…focused on his goal isn’t he?

The employee behind the counter looked suspiciously down at this little blond boy whose head just reached above the counter and before I could say a peep (and for anyone who knows me…that is a miracle to be the silent one)…

Kaz, with full straight posture and all the confidence in the world asked:

“Yes, can I have a fake cell phone?”

I just stood there with a smirk on my face as the service rep looked at Kaz and slowly looked at me…

Lessons Learned about sales:

Have you ever wondered at what age we lose our fearlessness, our state of total belief in just asking for what we want and full of confidence and curiousity?

Here is a eight year old walking up to an adult and straight out asking for what I didn’t even know existed!

What if you had that confidence and state of total belief that your prospect would say yes simply if you asked for it, expected it in your mind and heart?

Why is it so hard for us now as adults to communicate with someone we don’t know…

…yet an 8 year old makes it look like it is as easy and natural as breathing.

A success action step: Whenever you working on the ‘confidence’ to approach a prospect, just think about the 8 year old boy in the picture above and think about how natural it should be for you to ask for the sale, ask for what you want because what is the worst that could happen? Nothing!

As Wayne Gretzky said “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”

The FTC ruling we discuss in the show:

Click Here for the FTC PDF Document on Endorsements and Testimonials we will cover The Federal Trade Commission announced recently that it has approved final revisions to the guidance it gives to advertisers on how to keep their endorsement and testimonial ads in line with the FTC Act.

Maria Gudelis will be interviewing a Guest Expert who will explain the Ins and Outs of the new FTC rulings and how it relates to your Offline Consulting business specifically, and business in general.

We’ll also cover this part of the FTC rules: § 255.3 Expert endorsements.

(a) Whenever an advertisement represents, directly or by implication, that the endorser is an expert with respect to the endorsement message, then the endorser’s qualifications must in fact give the endorser the expertise that he or she is represented as possessing with respect to the endorsement.

Well, a student of mine–with the same question in his mind–introduced me to an article I think really clarifies this subject very well.

Go here to read the article.

Would love to get your thoughts on this one!
