Walk Ins... all part of your Marketing mix


A key part of your marketing mix is to identify key prospective customers and make an approach to introduce yourself and the service you provide.

A key target market is Estate Agents / Lettings Agents and Property Managers as they are likely to manage a portfolio of properties that are likely to require the service you provide.

Many of these can be found on the high street of most towns and cities in the UK.

You can approach new prospects in many different ways but a really effective approach is a direct Walk In............. a simple introduction as a local business owner and an offer to help them if needed.

A Walk In is not about trying to sell your service.... its about an friendly introduction to start a potentially long term relationship.

And like all relationships it may take some time to build the KNOW - LIKE and TRUST factors that we talk about, but you have to start somewhere and you can make a real impression with a non sales Walk In...



It you need the follow up material (emails) that form part of the process and / or the folders then please call the office or email headoffice@theforcesgroup.co.uk.

If you required any assistance with your marketing then the team at HOST are here to help.

Turning Customers into Raving Fans....

Image
  Check this out.... I was in London the other weekend watching my daughter Tori doing the London 10K run. It was a great little run through the streets of the West End, along the Embankment, past Big Ben and then to Downing Street. At the end of the run we decided to go for lunch in Covent Garden.  You'll probably know that there are lots of restaurants around Covent Garden and there is a certain one called Flat Iron. It was recommended to us but you can't book. After a short walk we arrived to find a queue of people waiting to get in for meal. And I mean a queue - check out the photo. We were starving so we didn't bother waiting and moved on. However, this got me thinking... how can a little restaurant attract so much attention and yet other restaurants nearby were empty? What was this place doing that clearly had raving fans queuing to get in for food? I appreciate that we are in a very different market than a restaurant but doesn't it make you think?  What am I doin...

Learn From the Best..... a chat with Carl Traviato

Image
In business we all need to learn.... and the best way to learn is to find people who are good at what they do, spend time with them, listen and learn. The facts in business are that only 20% of businesses in the UK are in really good shape and only 5% absolutely killing it. It can be hard to know the truth from the bullshit so you need to be astute and be good at filtering out the good from the bad. Here is one person in the network who I can assure you is good at what he does and more importantly, how he does it.... It is a 25 minute video but watch, listen and learn.

Where is your AIM?

Image
Check out this image....    This is from a workbook from a recent conference I attended. As you know I try and attend a few external conferences to extend, or reinforce, my knowledge. This picture resonated with me so much as I know it to be true for so many business owners. So my question to you is...... Where is your AIM? I appreciate that is quite a big question so let's just start with the current year... 2024. Have you got a Sales Target (aim) for this current year? Or maybe you work to the tax year which ends in a few weeks? And if you have a bigger AIM for the future does your aim for 2024 get you closer to where you want to be..? I have attached a link in this blogger to a spreadsheet that may help you calculate your AIM for the current year.  Sales calculator (stress free sales) The sheet works to a monthly Sales figure which should help to assess what level of sales you require each month. Simply download the file and fill in the yellow cells and see what is sho...
