Fisherman Tactics For Home Business Building

Probably you will all declare me crazy now. What on earth has a fisherman to do with home business building? Maybe I should better have said Tactics and techniques to build your home business in an easy and professional way .

In fact it is very simple but let me start at the beginning with a story of how I came to this article and it’s conclusions.

On Monday I got a phone call from a friend who needed some direct counselling on some important steps he was about to take in his home business. So we scheduled our meeting in the afternoon on the beach of Saler (close to Valencia where I live since 5 years or so)

While I was relaxing in the sun and enjoying my afternoon off (all my afternoons are off thanks to my home business) I had the chance to observe 2 fisherman setting out their fishing lines. Both had about 3 lines out and they were sitting in a chair watching and waiting for the fish to come.

About 20 m. further there was a third fisherman but this one was very different from the other two. He was dressed in a neoprene diving suit with a spear fishing gun in his hand. He dived in and out the waves and for every 5 times he went in he can back with a fish. The other two fishermen in the same time span only caught 1 fish whereas the spear fisher had at least 5 fishes in his basket.

This true story can also be applied to the people who try to build a home business.

Some invest a large sum of money and buy themselves some nets who do the job in a very efficient way.

Others throw out a line until they catch a fish or run out f patience

The smarter fishermen throw out a dozen of lines and catch fish on a regular base

The third kind of home business builder puts on his diving suit and seeks out the fish himself

But………..there is another kind of fishermen who is smarter than all the rest.

He uses combined tactics to get more fish in less time so he can retire early and enjoy the pleasures of life.

1) He puts out 20 lines or more with different kinds of baits on different depths so he can catch different fish. He finds someone to take care of the lines while he goes to step 2

2) He puts on his diving suit and goes out to find the fish himself.

3) After catching a fair amount of fish he buys some big fishing nets and gets some help to manage the nets.

4) Than he steps out of the sea and goes to sit in the sun while the fish comes in in large amounts he is sitting on the beach counselling others and teaching them to catch fish like he does.

From time to time he puts on his diving suit so he doesn’t forget how to fish or to show his friends who want to learn fishing how it is done.

This is in fact my own story. I had the incredible amount of luck to find a program that enabled me to fish like the smart fisher in my story.

It’s a program everybody can start with (it’s free and easy)

You can put out as many lines as you want and have somebody taking care of them for free

The program gives you a spear gun with not only 1 but about 600 spears for effective spear fishing if you wish to do so.

You can also buy very effective nets if you desire to do so (and they are cheap too)

Basically it is a program that will allow you to sit in the sun and enjoy all these things you ever dreamed off but never could get.

If you a a normal person with hopes and dreams like me i am sure you too would like to take a look at this program so therefore I will give you the chance to go fishing very soon. Take a look in the autors resource box for more information

3 Effective Tactics Every Business Should Implement

Do you remember your first day as a business owner? You were probably just like the rest of us... pretty darned happy and bit on the proud side. Yeah, back then we thought we could conquer the world. Now we're too busy conquering our own little corner of the world to pay a lot of attention to the rest of the world... unless it's to learn a few tips from successful marketers just like us who have made it big. Tips just like these... that will apply to every market - regardless of the product or service - are a great motivators to try something new. Yeah, you never know when the next idea will be worth a million dollars!

1. Create a Special Offer
A special offer is exactly that... an offer that is special. Normally, customers would not be able to purchase this product or combination of products, and once the products are gone... sorry!

You don't have to go out and order a bunch of new products to put together a special offer. It don't take a whole lot... just use what you've got. Grab a few items that are related, group them together, discount the price, and your customers will be excited to be getting a good deal. Think about it from your standpoint... you've sold three or four items rather than one. Yeah, combination offers are winning deals for everyone!

2. Address the Small Customer Groups
Niche markets are everywhere, right under your nose! Within the customer audience that you serve right now are groups of people who share common traits. Think about it... maybe you have a group who speaks Spanish, a group of teens, and a group of middle class family men and women.

Evaluate these classes of people, and discover the unique needs and desires they share. That will set you up to customize your advertising campaign directly to them. It's not hard to take your current ads, and make a few changes to adjust to the niches. They'll be impressed that you understand THEM, and the increase in your profits will be the best thanks you can get.

3. Set Up a Winning Referral Program
Successful marketers develop the ability to turn their customers into advocates. Often, they don't even have to directly ask customers to refer them to others. Their willingness to go the extra wins customer loyalty and support. Naturally, satisfied customers refer their friends and family to the place that will take good care of them.
Quality service and is the first step toward referrals, but you can easily take it one step further. Studies show that every satisfied customer tells three people about you. What would happen with a little incentive added to the picture? Yeah, a lot more. Give customers who refer friends a thank you - whether it's a discount, special gift item, or a simple thank you card - and watch the referrals spiral!
You can get two birds with one stone by implimenting customer surveys. A few quick questions about what the customer does and doesn't like about your product, followed by a request for the names and addresses of friends and family who would benefit from the product, and you're all set to go with the contact information of a prospective customer!

7 Business Growth W.O.W.® Tactics for Increased Market Share

Here are Seven Business Growth W.O.W.® tactics for increased market share that you can deploy now:

1. Rule 1-12-50© - The first portion of every month (hence the number 1), consistently every month (hence the number 12), identify a population index upwards of fifty (hence the number 50) key customers or emerging customers and provide them a value added communication.

2. eSignature Line – Consider adding into your standard email auto signature line any updates on products or services you provide to all recipients of your communication exchanges. This also serves as a powerful standardization for ensuring customers receive advance notices for deadlines, product or service announcements, changes and discontinuations, etc.

3. eAuto Responder - Consider adding into your standard email auto responder (if you don’t engage it routinely, especially engage it when you will be away from email receiving) any updates on products or services you provide to all recipients of your communication exchanges. This is also a great way to promote and advertise to those people that initiate sending email traffic to you first, as now you can instantly bounce back a message to them.

4. Hotel Letters – Realize that in most all hotels there seems to be at least pieces of stationary and envelopes in the desk drawer. Consider a hand written note to three “Vital Fews” about something that is top of mind to you and of value to them.

5. “Advocate” Maintenance – Ensure that you never let an advocate get more than 30 days out from hearing from or seeing you. Plan regular communications and/or “thank you” events to draw from them ways to continue to enhance the service you provide to them.

6. Newsletter – Design a high impact, value rich content based print newsletter for your core customers (the Vital Few) and send routinely to them as a way to enrich their value proposition in their market. Then, soft communicate a product/service from you to them at the end of each newsletter. This vehicle can be distributed to customers as statement-stuffers, attachments with invoices and contracts, attached to proposals and general correspondence from customer service contact professionals and the sales team alike. This can serve as a source for the Rule 1-12-50© campaign.

7. Fax Alerts – Consider a Friday afternoon fax blast to your customers with any products/services that can impact their bottom line, send announcements and press releases, etc. If these contact names are in your data base as clients and or contacts that you have a pre existing relationship with and/or have established a relationship with whereby they want communication offers from you, than a Fax alert or blast is a smart, fast, economical and acceptable contact means. Conversely, if you don’t have this rapport or permission then a fax blast may be seen as spam and be illegal in some non business growth oriented communities!

Deploy these field-tested and proven strategies now and watch your business flourish.
