14. Creating a sales and marketing
strategy for your small business
can be daunting
15. Our Attraction Marketing model
provides a simple framework you can use
to attract customers, grow sales
and deliver a wowing
customer experience
16. The beauty of Attraction Marketing is the
simplicity of the framework, which can be
applied to any small business regardless of
industry or business model
17. When put into action, Attraction
Marketing will help you grow sales AND
give you more time to focus on
the things you love
18.
19. Attracting customers starts with focus
because, let’s face it, most consumers
aren’t actively looking
for your company.
20. More often than not they’re looking
for a solution that satisfies a particular
need they have and will discover you
either by accident or because you have
a great Attract strategy in place.
21. Getting noticed in this noisy world is
critical for the success of your
business, but it’s not always easy to
get the word out. The best way to get
noticed is to start with a narrow focus
22. Define your ideal target by researching
their demographics, attitudes,
behaviors, motivations and favorite
places to hang out, both online and in
person. Then, start engaging with them
in a helpful way, but be sure to have a
way to follow up with them before
they leave.
26. We all think “everyone’s going to
want my product!”. So, we try to
sell to everyone. But, that mindset
ends up costing you a ton of
money and provides little return.
27. • It’s too expensive to market to the whole world.
• Marketing messages don't resonate with everyone.
• Trying to be everything to everyone doesn’t work.
• Don’t try to sell everyone.
38. “We are the AUTHORITY
in our market. Thousands
of people see the value
in our content, and they
are calling us instead of
us calling them.”
Greg Harrelson
Century 21, Harrelson Group
39. Content marketing is
an effective way
to build and
demonstrate
authority.
You’re all experts in
your niche, just like

step further…

54. Sell is the second phase in the
Attraction Marketing model
55. Value plays a vital role in
influencing purchasing decisions
especially for small businesses
that can’t compete on price.
56. As a small business owner, you
must have a strategy in place that
makes your product or service the
obvious choice when they’re ready
to buy. This is your SELL strategy.
58. Now that you have LEADS
you need to EDUCATE them.
59. Consumers will only pay attention to
you when they’re motivated to do so,
and the best way to gain their attention
is through interaction and education.
60. As you build out your content strategy;
consider how your message serves
your target customer’s basic,
psychological or self-fulfillment needs.
61. Then, build foundational content on
your website, blog, social networks or
other communication platform that
meets those needs.
64. Connect with your potential customers by
EDUCATING them on topics they care about
65. “Our email messaging
is very personal and all
emails are written as if I

66. Now that your leads are EDUCATED
it’s time to provide the OFFER
67. To determine when to provide an offer
you have to understand your
target customer’s buying process
68. The best way to do this is to observe
past customers actions and create a
buying process map using past
customer purchase behaviors
70. If you have a sales team or if you are the
entire sales team you’ll want to optimize
your resources so that you spend your
limited time with consumers
that are qualified.
71. Lead scoring is a great tactic to use that will
help ensure that you spend your time on
those high converting individuals
72. Regardless of your tactic, the most optimal
time to make an offer to a consumer is
when they’re evaluating options and before
they finalize recommendations
82. It’s about excellence in delivery,
great communication and
establishing a lasting relationship

fierce. This means that you must
differentiate your business from those
of your competitors

by delivering a consistent Wow experience
to your customers each time you interact
with them

102. Determine how you can help your
target customers and provide a
solution. Your solution can be as
easy as providing tips and resources
related to their inquiry
103. Here are three ways to tactfully increase your revenue
while continuing to be helpful:
• Cross Sell: Customers aren’t always aware of the
perfect product or service pairings and may be willing to
purchase related items that enhance their experience.
• Upsell: Listen to your customers and try to understand
their needs. They might be willing to pay extra for special
treatment, warranties or monthly programs.
• New products: Remember to help your customers by
identifying things that will enhance their lives by
notifying them of new products or services.
105. You’ll spend less money marketing
to existing customers than trying to
attract new ones, so that’s why it’s
so important to wow them
from the start.
106. Deliver more than what you
promised in either quality, quantity
or by recommending something that
satisfies their needs
