Your Best Marketing Strategy

Classic marketing is all about persuasion. Create powerful, subliminal images, associate them with your product, and people will buy from you, sometimes without knowing why.

This blog is about something different. It's about sharing your best stuff - the most useful knowledge you have to offer - with your prospects in order to build relationships with them.

Sharing knowledge is a viable alternative to classic marketing because:

  • Likes attract. Those interested in what you know best will naturally be attracted to doing business with you.
  • Buyers start out as information seekers. If you provide them with the information they are looking for, a relationship will develop. And when they do become buyers, they'll do what most people do - buy from whom they know.
  • Buyers have filters. There's so much marketing out there that they tune out. Sharing knowledge freely greatly increases the odds that you will reach people.

I've spent the past 7 years helping experts share what they know. This blog is all about how I, and others, do this. Stay tuned!
