3
Secrets That Will Immediately Help Your Business Grow
Nate Fortner
According to the US Small Business Administration, there are
28.8 Million small businesses in the United States. Small businesses account
for 99.7% of all businesses in the US with fewer than 500 employees. According
to a recent study, 82% of businesses fail because a lack of cash flow.
2/3 of
startups will not survive past 2 years.
1/2 of
startups will not survive past 5 years.
1/3 of
startups will not survive past 10 years.
A startup needs working capital to keep their business running
when orders and payments for services by clients aren’t on time. Wells Fargo
Small Business Index reports that $10,000.00 is the average amount of money a
business needs to start.
We have beat the statistic that ½ of new startups will not
survive past 5 years. How did we do it? I’m about to share with you our success
secrets right now!
With all of the above stated, I started my company, WhosoeverPress.com
in August 2012, and I had absolutely no money. We are now in July 2018, and we
have been catapulted into success by following only 3 simple steps.
#1:
Content Marketing
#2 List
Building
#3 Follow
Up
CONTENT MARKETING: Is the
act of creating and distributing physical and/or digital material to raise
awareness for your cause. You are not paying to advertise. You are paying for
content to be created and distributed.
When we
started our new product line, we created a 30 page catalog that showed our
products, services and prices. We have printed and distributed thousands of
these catalogs within just 3 years. At some point, you have to up your game and
take more action. Between July and December 2018, we will print and distribute
100,000 catalogs around the surrounding states. This has been our #1 source for
new business. If you would like to know more about Content Marketing, you can
purchase a copy of “Success Requires Action” the book written by our owner Nate
Fortner. The book is available from Amazon.com, Books-A-Million, Barnes and
Noble and wherever books are sold.
LIST BUILDING: When
you gain a new client, tell them that you are adding them to your monthly email
list. You can explain to them that they will receive special offers and
discount codes throughout the month. You can get a very nice email marketing
platform from Benchmark Email Services.
*SPECIAL NOTE!!!* I have NEVER seen any
videos anywhere on the internet that teaches what I’m about to share with you!
I’m
always trying to figure out new ways to get my message in front on more people.
In the past, I have even purchased email lists from companies online, only to
get a list of old and outdated contacts. I started to realize that many
businesses have and operate a Facebook page. No, I’m not telling you to
purchase Facebook ads. There’s a better way!
Even if a
business has hired a firm to operate their page, the company still places their
contact information on the about page. This includes in many cases their
mailing address, phone number, email, website and a contact name.
In the
search tab at the top of your Facebook screen, you can type in things like, “Businesses
near me,” Businesses in ‘Insert Your State’,” “Coffee Shops in ‘Insert Your
State’.” Make sure when the results appear that you click on the option at the
top of the screen for pages. You will then see hundreds of individual business
pages. Once you click on a business, it will pull up their profile. Click on
the “ABOUT” tab to the left of your screen. Here you will find all of their
contact information.
I would
suggest that you reach out to them and explain how you found their information,
and that you would like to share with them how you can help them with their
business.
FOLLOW UP: Follow up is key to any marketing
campaign. As a business owner yourself, you will agree with me when I say,
business owners are busy. They may have loved your email or package, but forgot
to contact you. Follow up is the key to locking in a deal. Most Sales Reps
never follow up with the client. Don’t let your marketing efforts fall through
the cracks by not following up with a potential client.
