surgeon.jpgDid Your Mom Want You to be a Doctor?

Prospecting in Today's Marketplace:  The Opportunity of Your Dreams!    

It's interesting if you think about it.  One of the wealthiest segments of our society is comprised of physicians. As we've all experienced, so many of them certainly know how to charge big bucks for their services. 

But observe this...When do doctors make the most money?  When their clients are sick, when their clients are in pain, when their clients ache.  When we are healthy, we might require a standard annual physical or an inexpensive vitamin regimen. 

But when we're ill, we pay physicians the big bucks for expensive operations to make us whole again...and that's when they accumulate grand wealth.

Well, guess what?  We're in a recession.  Most businesses are hurting now.  When making your initial sales call, I'd advise not to bring a pile of imprinted product ideas or even not to bring a bunch of catalogs.  I'd ask one simple question:  “What are your greatest concerns?”

“We're having a recession; most business are hurting and there's no embarrassment in it.  I'm here to listen and to learn where it aches most.  What are your greatest “pains?” I am not a cost.  (I don't sell simple give-aways – you have budget line items for give-aways and business are cutting budgets and rightfully so.)  I can solve your problems and grow your bottom line.  Are you paying too much for insurance premiums because of poor accident history? – I can help by developing a safety program that will save you money.  Are your customers buying from you once, never to return? - I can help by developing a brand loyalty program that will keep them coming back and growing your revenues.

“I am the 'doctor,' and I'm here to help.  Give me a few days to return with a solution specific to your situation.  And, I don't charge for my services.  Of course, I'd expect you to purchase my solutions if you agree they'll work to improve your financial situation.”

Yes, you are the doctor, nearly every one of your clients and prospects are hurting right now, and this is the perfect time for you to gain wealth!

Happy healing!! After all, I can help.  I focus on expanding your bottom line. 

Dr. Ron Baron M.D  (Marketing Doctor)

Where did I go wrong?

Oh...doctors may not have it so good though. They end up coming out of school in big debt, the insurance companies beat down their fees...and who knows what is ahead???

AND they can\'t even get free promotional products!

This industry may not be so bad.

This is the way to think! A massive ship only needs a tiny rudder to steer it and this is the effect of the above creative thinking. The current \"rudder\" has most people thinking in doom and gloom. We are finding better opportunities than ever before in this economy. I am very positive on our industry because it is the most powerful branding vehicle on the planet!!! More importantly my hope is in the Lord, the creator of all things! I have no reason to worry!

Jenny, I\'ve heard Ron Baron speak several times.
I thought this was interesting.
Haven\'t we talked about this before.
See at lunch.

Ron Baron nails it again. I\'ve seen him speak at the Showtime show and he really has great ideas. I never thought of how we can be a doctor for our clients...but why not. We truly can help them.

I have found that the customers that I deal with are a little more serious. They have a set budget, and a goal for the promotional product. I have seen less of just get me whatever, and more... of well thoughout specifically targeted programs. Yes, my sales cycle is a little longer, as my customers are thinking things out. But I think my close ratio on inquiries are up.

Thank you for reminding me about spec samples and virtual specs. That\'s always worked well in the past. I\'m going to start doing it!

I\'ve taken an aggressive approach to prospecting in this recession and it\'s working. With business not falling from the sky like it used to, I have gone back to the basics: Doing virtual samples for new prospects, taking advantage of self promos and keeping upbeat. My business is slightly down, but it\'s not bad.
