If it doesn’t, you are missing out on an enormous opportunity to grow your business.A website that is nothing more than an electronic brochure is not going to help you attract more clients and be more profitable.Did you know that the first time someone visits your website that it is most likely the last time they will visit?If most people never return after the initial visit, this means that you usually only have one chance to make a connection and provide visitors with information they want.

<I attended a seminar the other day at a local trade show and one thing that they mentioned almost in passing that inspired me was the critical concept of “selling your successes”.Hmmm… “Sell your successes” – What could that mean?Simply put, when you walk the talk, talk the walk. Adjust your marketing and sales conversations and materials to reflect how your product or services helped someone achieve what they wanted.Now how do you do this?

<At one time or another in every life, one decides that he or she would like to open a business. You may be tired of someone else getting rich from your efforts or maybe you want the freedom that goes with owning a business.But, is it enough just to want your own business. What does owning a business mean? What does it take to be an entrepreneur? What do you need to open a successful business?

<Don’t believe the scuttle butt. Presented well and to the right audience with the right follow-up systems; seminars are still an extremely effective marketing tool for financial advisors. The problem is that many advisors aren’t paying attention to these details. Are there advisors using seminars effectively? Yes! In fact, some of the very top advisor coaches are convincing their clients to focus more on seminar marketing in these turbulent times and these advisors are reaping large harvests from their efforts.Why use seminar marketing?Begin with the end in mind, says Steven Covey. In this case, we want to collect a group of highly-motivated, high-value clients from our seminar marketing. We want the return on investment (ROI) to be extremely attractive.

Practise on a colleague or friend. Think about who your audience is and what you want them to get out of an effective presentation. Think about content and style.
