In recent years, the Internet has changed the world of marketing. Marketers can no longer use the same techniques today that worked yesterday. The attitudes and behavior patterns of your customer have changed, and to be successful you have to change with them.
Don't Believe the Hype
Over the last few decades, consumers have endured a flood of sales and marketing material. They've been inundated with ads everywhere they turn, and each marketer tries to shout over the others for their attention. As a result, people have tuned out. They don't believe in exaggerated language or hype anymore.
No More Used Car Salesmen
The online versions of used car salesmen have gotten a bad rap because of their hard-sell tactics. These tactics make them look like opportunists out to make a quick buck with little regard for their customers' best interests. Consumers are no longer responsive to this approach. They're smarter shoppers today, and they understand when they're being manipulated.
Today's Marketing Is about Relationships
The salespeople of the past saw a customer as a way to make a quick sale. The marketer of today needs to build relationships. The goal is for the customer to see you as a trusted friend and a valuable source of information. People want to feel like part of the brands they love, rather than just a number in a company’s marketing game.

Customer Focused Selling Part 1 on Solopreneur Success Strategies
On today's show I go over Customer Focused Selling again because it is worth doing two or three times as an idea on how to sell. I use the scenario of a strategy session call and how you as the seller can understand who another person 's Buying Style might be by just the comments they might say to you on the phone. By being able to listen and adapt to your prospect's buying style, you become more credible in their eyes and you have a relationship with them where they will stay long-term with your business.
My offer today is learning about You and Your Sales Style (and other's Buying Style) at http://jgtips.com/pstyle

What you have to do and the way you have to do it is incredibly simple. Whether you are willing to do it, that's another matter. Peter F. Drucker
When learning something new, taking initial action is the easy part. Finishing the course and following through on what you learned, that's the hard part. You need to be accountable. You need to firmly hold yourself to your goal of getting it done. You can get an accountability partner. Tell someone what you're going to do , you are less likely to quit in the middle. Tell them your plan and deadline goals They keep you on track. You can do the same for them. They do their job just by listening to you. Also, they check in on a regular basis on your progress. Your accountability partner can be anyone. It should be someone who has Positive influence on you. They should believe you that you are going to follow through on your promise. Best idea to ask someone who doesn't have a vested interest in the process. If they have an interest, they can't give you unconditional support that you need. They need just to be there to listen to your progress. Who? Declare it on social media to all your followers your progress! You'll stay on track just to avoid comments. Join an accountability group or forum related to your course. Introduce yourself and what you are doing. Besides unconditional support, you may learn tips and tricks to make progress. You can be accountable to yourself. Keep a journal. You can journal publicly on a blog or write daily in a notebook. Writing it down lets you see your progress and helps to clarify your goals and what you are doing to reach them. The more accountability the better Write daily in your journal Keep a running commentary on a social media site. Ask a friend to be accountability partner. Draw support from an accountability group. The more support you get, the better!

Create a Page Demonstration on Solopreneur Success Strategies
On today's show I show how to create a Page in Wordpress demonstrating with my website so it goes a little slower than last week. :)
A Page is static page whereas a Post (next week) is in sequentially order by category or date depending on how you set it up. So, the posts are in your blog and the Pages are informational or reference or sales pages etc. that either you direct people to on your website or you add them to your Wordpress menu (another episode).
So, it is easy to understand the Wordpress concepts once you start setting up Pages and Posts.
To look at my training offer called Wordpress is Easy go to http://jgtips.com/wpress.
For my HTML is easy offer go to jgtips.com/html and for my pricing offer go http://jgtips.com/pricing.
