6. There’s always a few companies that
are always adding value through
innovation or new processes which
then means consumers now will expect
those new values from others.
People are expecting more, higher
quality, faster, transparency, social
responsibility, values and the
occasional wow factor.
To meet expectations You’ve got to be
at it 24/7 in some shape or form. Know
their business, know your solution, ask
good questions, deliver, and repeat.

8. There’s some level of measuring,
monitoring activities that you may
need to do to truly know your
customers.
Everyday customers and prospects
reveal their problems and intentions
via the internet. So the clever
businesses need to figure out how to
access and analyze this information
without becoming creepy.
For example, every search engine
stores keyword searches then with
time builds a profile of it's users.

10. Email marketing is only as effective as
what goes in it and who is sending it.
Whatever list you have, are you doing
everything to keep it fresh because
sending a promo to a non-active email
account is likely to bounce. So make it a
habit to check with users whether they
still want to receive your email or not.
People subscribe cause they want you to
engage them. People use fake or BS email
addresses because you put in a landing
gate that only encourages poor quality
leads into your funnel.
So make it possible for quality prospects
to voluntarily self identify without getting
everyone else. Think fishing. You don’t
want a whale in your net when you just
want tuna.

19. Develop the right mindset. You are
going to face obstacles, rejections,
challenges however you have to make
the decision whether the objective is
the right objective for you and whether
you are using the right tools.
DO YOU HAVE A SENSE OF URGENCY?

don’t feel a sense of urgency, they are
likely to delay purchase or shop around.
