Do you have a marketing Plan?

Whether you are in sales or management or just working in your church you need a marketing plan to sell yourself and your ideas to other people. Here is a very simple plan that works…

1. Get a list of names, addresses and phone numbers of 1,000 people. a. These can be suspects if you are a sales person or a list of movers and shakers in your company, church or city. b. You can get lists from directories or the library.

2. Select a list of 100 that you will contact. a. This list can be of people you know or people you have a connection with.

3. Call all these people with a 3-call system…

4. 1st call… just introduce yourself

5. 2nd call…let them know you haven’t forgot them.

6. 3rd call… present your prospect or idea for them to buy

7. Now make sure you contact them by phone, post card or email 6 times a year.

This way you are systematically keeping in touch with people. When people are ready to buy they will have your name and phone number.
Marketing can be simple but most of all it must be done!
