After more than a decade of selling products online, there is one thing that just never gets old! What is it? It’s a stack of Authorize.net emails when you wake up in the morning. If you don’t know what this is…it’s one of the major CC processors and getting a stack of them in your inbox is like having a stack of $100 bills in a cash register at a store. The difference is that when you create marketing systems, that can operate 24/7, without you having to lift a finger…it’s like opening up your store in the morning with a bunch of money already deposited. The first time I had this happen overnight was the moment my life changed forever. I had spent a week or two building up my first sales page, then the order forms and the follow up emails. I hit send on an email and kept checking for the first sale before I went to bed. Maybe you’ve done this before too…I kept checking and checking. Nothing. Finally I fell asleep disappointed. But when I woke up in the morning to a $4,995 sale…I was instantly hooked! If you don’t have sales happening right now for your business, every day, without you having to make the sale…you’re really missing out. Dan calls this building marketing assets vs. marketing promotions. These are like oil wells that work for you 24/7. After you get one working then you build a second, a third, and so on. I started this email hours ago, then had a few meetings and I’m coming back to finish it. While I was on one of the meetings we enrolled a new coaching member for $7,997 and made a number of other sales. These sales are the result of building assets and running on automation. In our process, we also have a sales team, but they are just one piece of a larger campaign. Some sales require them to be on the phones, many other sales are made 100% by our marketing systems running in the background. What would your business and personal life look like if you had one or more of these systems built and automated? Imagine what it would feel like to have $100, $1,000, or $10,000 come in while you’re sleeping or working. Imagine the time freedom a system like this can create for you. Take some time this weekend to begin building. |
