Put your monkey in a bubble to get more leads

What in blue blazes am I talking about?



When you're out networking, be it face-to-face or virtual, you can stand out from the crowd if you use Survey Monkey when you follow-up. Survey Monkey is a free service that you can use to gather information from your new contacts. You can ask up to 10 questions on the free version (there is a subscription version that has additional features) and use those answers to truly add value to your new contact. It is like a lead capture page on steroids. Go to www.SurveyMonkey.com to set up your free account.

You can and should add a 'bubble comment' to your survey. This is also a free service that allows you to add a personal touch to your websites.

For those of you that are network marketers, you add a bubble comment to your company's replicated website to add your personality to it.

To get your free account, go to www.BubbleComment.com.

Follow Your Dollar

Where do you spend your money?

Wherever and with whomever that may be, that is where you should start to ask for help to promote your business.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you are regular customer at someone's place of business, why not ask them if you can leave flyers, brochures, or a stack of business cards? You spend good money with them, right?

If you don't want to be so forward and would rather take a more indirect route, how about handing or mailing them a "Who Do You Know Who Letter."

Here is how the letter goes:

##### BEGIN #####

[Date]
[Prospect’s Name]
[Prospect’s Mailing Address]
[Prospect’s Mailing Address Line 2]

Dear [Prospect’s First Name]:

This is just a quick note to say thank you for your business and support. Just to refresh your memory, I market [products/services, or a family of products/services] that helps people to [describe a few of the benefits]. I am expanding my business and I need your help. Who do you know who matches one of the below customer profiles? I would be thrilled if you would take a few minutes to make a list of acquaintances and friends who could benefit from my services; people and companies who you believe want or need the quality service and follow-up I will provide.
Here are some memory joggers to help you identify the ideal customers for the [products/services or family of products/services] that I market:
  • Who do you know who [identify niche #1]?
  • Who do you know who [identify niche #2]?
  • Who do you know who [identify niche #3]?
  • Who do you know who [identify niche #4]?
  • Who do you know who [identify niche #5]?
If you know anyone that fits any one of the above, please forward their contact information to me. I’ll call you in a few days to chat, okay?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

[Your signature in BLUE ink]

[Print your name]
[Your Title]
[Mailing Address]
[Telephone Number(s)]
[E-mail Address]
[Website Address]


##### END #####

One hand washes the other, right? If someone wants to retain your patronage, they should at least be willing to keep their eyes and ears open for you. If they can't do that, perhaps you should take your business elsewhere.

Go get 'em tigers and tigresses!

Kind regards,
