techniques. However, most people are in
competitive businesses, so they need to
structure their marketing so that it drives
business to them by creating demand.
To do that, you need to talk about the benefits
customers will get by doing business with you.
Once you start focusing on what your
customers can receive, prospects can
clearly understand why they should do
business with you. Your competitors might
offer the exact same features that you do,
but if they don’t describe the benefits of
those features, nobody will know about
them.
Shift the focus of your marketing from
your business to your customer, and you’ll
appeal to a lot more people—and increase
the effectiveness of your marketing as a
result.
3. MATCHING YOUR MESSAGE TO YOUR
MARKET
The best message in the world is useless if it
falls on deaf ears.
My friend Gary Halbert used to ask his
audience, “If you were to open a restaurant
and you could choose just one advantage
to improve your restaurant’s chance of
success, what would you pick? A great
location? A great staff? The best quality
food? A wonderfully designed building?”
While all of these advantages would be
nice, the most important advantage to
guarantee success for your restaurant
would be a starving crowd.
You want to market your products and
services to people who desperately want
what you have to sell. If you determine who
your market or starving crowd is, you’ve
just made your marketing 10 times easier.
Most people focus on developing a great
product and then worry afterward about
who might want to buy it. If you can find
your market first, you can zero in on your
target audience much easier than wasting
time trying to attract as many people as
possible.
The message in market matching is not only
what you communicate but also to whom
you’re communicating to.
Remember: don’t sell the product or
service. Sell the benefits that it will create.
People don’t buy from you because they
understand what you do. People buy from
you because they feel understood...
