My Thoughts

Do the work, rest, reflect and repeat.

Agencies Make Things More Complicated Than They Need To Be. 

So many people are frustrated with the results they are getting from advertising.

It’s not complicated if you understand the fundamentals! 

This led me to my new idea… 

Here is the model I have been thinking about…

One Book 

One course

One Client A Month

One Blog Post Week

One Email A Week

Hey DRS Family, Please forgive me, but I have been super busy writing for over 50k+ entrepreneurs & growth marketers through my partnership with Wisdom Media. Where I write for The Growth Memo & The Early Checkout. We just surpassed 1 million emails sent… I have learned a couple of things about direct response. I want to do something special for you… I want to give my “Direct Response Secrets Copy Brief” for free: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mpoxKKoMT5CTZTtg0H5bYxaVtQ6ovI3PvOWIo7MfQAs/edit?usp=sharingI have used this to write 10s of millions in profitable advertising, and you can have it for free! Just make a copy for yourself. (I was thinking about doing a training on it as well… let me know if you would like to learn more about it.)Ok, It’s time to address the elephant in the room. Why did I decide to rebrand the pod? The simple answer is… I have decided who I want to be when I grow up! A lot has changed over the years… I have worked for one of the largest ad agencies in the world, I have spent $10m+ on ads, and now I have sent over 1 million emails!I used to think I was an agency guy, then I thought I was an ad buyer, but in recent months I realized that I’m all of the above… I’m a direct response marketer! And my “zone of genius” is helping businesses solve million-dollar marketing problems using direct response fundamentals! So I’m going to do it live on the pod… I’m giving it all away for free and helping others grow! The show is going to be a ”hot seat” style pod where we are talking to real businesses with real bottlenecks, and together, we learn how to use Direct Response to make running a business simple, predictable & fun! What does simple, predictable & fun look like…Spend $1 on advertising… and get $2… $3… or Even $10 back!

This can only happen when you put the right person in front of the right offer at the right time. If this sounds like something you would be interested in learning? Stay subbed, and If not, I wish you the best on your journey!

Netflix revolutionized the movie rental business with its subscription-based streaming service, offering a vast library of on-demand content. The platform's convenience, selection, personalization, accessibility, no late fees, constant updating content, and original content made it superior to traditional video stores like Blockbuster and Jumbo Video.

Marketing Tip of the Week

💡 Create a Powerful Hook:

When writing ads, it's crucial to draw in your audience within the first few seconds. Start your ad with a strong "hook" - a compelling statement or question that grabs attention and piques curiosity. Your hook should resonate with your target audience's interests, challenges, or goals, making them eager to learn more.

Remember, the goal of the hook is not to sell but to engage. You want to create enough interest and intrigue that your audience is compelled to continue reading or watching your ad. Once you've hooked them in, you can share more information about your offering and guide them towards taking action.

Crafting a powerful hook requires a deep understanding of your audience and a creative approach to communicating your value proposition. Invest time in getting it right, and you'll see a noticeable improvement in your ad engagement and conversion rates.

Why do organic marketing? 🌱

Trust and Credibility: Organic marketing helps build trust and credibility over time. When a brand consistently provides valuable content, consumers develop a positive view of the brand. This can lead to higher engagement and conversion rates in the long run.

Longevity: Unlike paid advertising, which ends once the budget runs out, organic marketing has a much longer shelf life. The content you create today can continue to engage audiences, generate leads, and drive conversions for months or even years.

Cost-effectiveness: While it does take time and effort, organic marketing can be highly cost-effective. There is no need to pay for ad space or impressions, so your budget can be allocated to creating high-quality content and optimizing your marketing channels.

Brand Awareness and Loyalty: Organic marketing is a great way to increase brand awareness and loyalty. By regularly engaging with your audience through high-quality content, you can establish a strong brand presence and cultivate a loyal customer base.

Complements Direct Response Marketing: Organic marketing can complement direct response marketing by nurturing leads and prospects until they are ready to convert. It can be used to educate, entertain, and engage customers, which keeps your brand top of mind when they are ready to purchase.

Building a Community: Through organic marketing, direct response marketers can build a community around their brand. This not only provides a platform for customers to engage with the brand, but also allows for direct interaction and feedback, which can be invaluable for improving products and services.

MOST IMPORTANT: To find out what is going to convert. If it gets a response in organic, it’s likely to do the same with paid!

Identity Shift: ✨

An identity shift is a transformation or evolution in how an individual or a business perceives and presents themselves, often involving changes in roles, responsibilities, or expertise to align with new goals or aspirations.

An example of a shift is:Entrepreneurs Who Want To Learn Direct Response

Value Proposition: 📞

A value proposition is a clear statement that explains how a product or service solves customers' problems or improves their situation, delivers specific benefits, and tells the ideal customer why they should buy from you and not from the competition. It's essentially the unique value your offering brings to the marketplace.

Here is mine:Leverage Direct Response To Make Running A Business Simple, predictable & Fun! (Work in progress!)

Content Strategy: ✍

A simple yet effective content strategy is crucial. This involves regularly producing and disseminating high-quality, relevant content aimed at engaging your target audience and directing them towards the desired action.

Attention: ⚠

Attention here refers to creating and distributing attention-grabbing short-form content. By using platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn, and incorporating provocative thoughts, contrarian views, educational insights, behind-the-scenes content, personal narratives, and offers, you can attract your audience's attention and guide them down the funnel towards your offers.

Twitter Tread Framework: 🧵

1. Start with a Hook: Your first tweet should grab attention and make people want to read more. It could be a compelling question, a surprising statement, a controversial opinion, or a teaser of the valuable information to come.

Example: "Are you making this common marketing mistake that's costing you, potential clients? Let's discuss."

2. Deliver Valuable Content: Each subsequent tweet should provide valuable content that keeps your audience engaged. Provide tips, insights, or stories related to your topic. Make sure each tweet adds value and isn't just there to fill space.

3. Use Simple Language: Keep your language simple and straightforward. Avoid jargon and ensure that your audience can easily understand your points.

4. Maintain a Logical Flow: Your tweets should flow logically from one to the next, maintaining a coherent narrative or argument throughout the thread.

5. Break Down Complex Ideas: If you're explaining a complex idea or process, break it down into smaller, digestible pieces. This can make your thread more engaging and easier to understand.

6. Include Visuals: Whenever possible, incorporate relevant images, GIFs, infographics, or videos to increase engagement.

7. Encourage Interaction: Ask questions, encourage feedback, or include calls-to-action to get your audience involved in the discussion.

8. Wrap it Up: Conclude the thread with a summary of the key points or a call-to-action. This could be a prompt for your audience to share the thread, visit your website, or respond with their thoughts.

9. Thread Length: While there's no hard rule, threads that are too long can lose the reader's attention. Aim for around 5-15 tweets for most topics.

10. Spacing Out: Don't post all the tweets at once. Space them out by a few minutes. This can keep the thread appearing in your followers' timelines over a longer period, increasing visibility.

Example Conclusion: "So, to avoid this marketing pitfall, make sure to [summary of points]. Share this thread with someone who needs to see it!"

The 7-Figure Earner Path

Let's start by identifying your business phase:

Startup Phase: This is the initial phase where you work on developing your idea into a tangible product or service, identifying your target audience, and validating your business concept. It's all about taking your business from concept to reality.Pre-revenue (Pre-Launch):

Focus: Who, Problem & Attention. Identifying market problems & unique value propositions. Understanding your target customer's pain points and how your product or service provides a solution.

Revenue under $100,000:

Focus: Buyer Lead Generation. Attracting potential customers through various marketing channels. Concentrate on building brand awareness and creating initial interest in your product/service.

Momentum Phase: After your idea is validated and you've demonstrated product-market fit, it's time to pick up the pace. This phase is all about scaling your operations, expanding your market reach, and driving fast growth.

Revenue $100,000 - $500,000:

Focus: Conversion Path. Now that you have buyer leads, focus on strategies to convert them into customers. Implement effective sales processes, improve your product presentation, and refine your call-to-action messages. This includes on-site conversion rate optimization as well. 

Revenue $500,000 - $1 million:

Focus: Offer Price, Frequency & Delivery. Reassess your pricing strategy to ensure it matches the perceived value of your product/service. Optimize your delivery process for efficiency, and explore opportunities to sell more frequently to your customers.

Optimization Phase: At this point, your business is established, and it's time to make it the best it can be. The optimization phase involves refining your processes, improving efficiency, increasing profitability, and strengthening customer relationships. You'll be looking for ways to optimize every aspect of your business for both the short and long term.

Revenue $1 million - $10 million:

Focus: Frequency & Retention. Increase the rate at which you're selling to existing customers (frequency) and concentrate on customer retention strategies. Work on building customer loyalty through aligned continuity offers. 

Revenue $10 million+: Which I’m not experienced enough to speak on. I have only helped one company get past $10 million and I’m not 100% sure what I was doing had the full impact of the result. If you are past $10m in revenue, I recommend you find someone who has achieved this multiple times. I will someday, just not yet! :) 

Let’s dive a litter deeper into each step:

Start-Up Phase

1. Who

Who do you specifically help?

Every market is made up of different people, mindsets and beliefs. Some like to buy the best, while others want to save money.Not all customers are created equal.

Example for a physical product:

If you sell engagement rings.

On the low side of the market, there will be customers who will only be able to spend $5000 on an engagement ring.

On the high end of the market, there will be customers that will spend $100,000+ on an engagement.

To very different markets, but both still want to get married.

Example of a digital product/service:

On the low end of the market, there will be customers who want just free info and never have an entente to buy. (Mindset)

On the high end of the market, there will be customers who will gladly pay $100k for a consultant to add $1m to their business. 

The way you speak to these two markets is completely different, and the biggest problem I see from entrepreneurs is that they try to talk to everyone in the market.

And the problem with this is that everyone is not a person. 

Trying to speak with everyone will not resonate with anyone.

The number one thing customers want to see is that you see them and understand them.

2. Problem

What problem is your business solving? 

If you don’t have a clear problem that your business solves, it’s going to be hard to speak directly to speak to the pain points your market is facing.And not all problems are created equal.Example 1: A "Waste of Time" Problem to Solve

Who: Professionals who are working from home.

Problem: These professionals are often overwhelmed with the amount of non-essential emails they receive daily. This distracts them from focusing on essential work, resulting in a waste of time. They desire an efficient way to manage their inbox without missing important emails.

Outcome: An $8/M App 10,416.66 customer with a sick rate of 12 months to hit 7-figures.

Example 2: A Problem That Would Allow You to Charge a Lot of Money

Who: C-level executives at large corporations.

Problem: These executives need to make strategic decisions to sustain their company's growth and profitability. However, they often struggle to leverage the massive amounts of data their companies generate fully.

Outcome: $120k/Y contract… You need 10 customers to hit 7-figures

3. Attention 

What messages does your market need to see to get their attention?

Your goal is to make your free content better than their paid content, Give everything way, and a percentage will come to you for help.

Two forms of content you can use to build an organic audience.

The platform you go with depends on your preferred modality. Writing, Audio, Video etc.

Short form content: This would be platforms such as Tiktok, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc.

Physical Product Example:

Product: Environmentally friendly, fashionable sneakers.

Platform: Instagram (Focus on visually appealing, compelling imagery and brief compelling captions)

Message: Post vibrant photos of the sneakers in different settings and on different people, demonstrating their versatility. Use captions to emphasize the eco-friendliness, such as "Step into a greener future with our 100% recycled material sneakers" or "Fashion meets sustainability. Be a part of the solution, not pollution."

Digital/Service Example:

Service: AI-powered email management system.

Platform: Twitter (Short, impactful messages)

Message: Tweet user testimonials, short video clips of the system in action, and quick tips for managing email overload. A message could be: "Reclaim your productivity with our AI-powered email assistant. No more email overload."

Long-form content: This would be more owned media such as a podcast, youtube channel or newsletter.

Physical Product Example:

Product: Environmentally friendly, fashionable sneakers.

Platform: YouTube (Video content showcasing the product and its benefits)

Message: Create a series of videos that showcase the production process to underline the environmental benefits, user testimonials, and different ways to style the sneakers. A video title could be: "The Journey of Your Sustainable Sneakers: From Recycled Materials to Your Feet."

Digital/Service Example:

Service: AI-powered data analytics and decision support system.

Platform: Podcast (In-depth discussions about data management, decision making, and the role of AI)

Message: Host a podcast series interviewing industry leaders about the importance of data-driven decision making, and discuss case studies where your system has made a significant impact. An episode could be titled: "Data-Driven Decisions: How AI Transforms the Way We Do Business."

Momentum Phase

4. Unique Mechanism 

How do you achieve the desired result? 

The step-by-step process on how you get the result for your customers.

Physical Product Example:

Product: High-tech water purifier for home use.

Mechanism: The unique mechanism lies in our 5-stage purification process:

* Pre-filter Stage: Removes large contaminants, protecting the subsequent filters from premature clogging.

* Activated Carbon Filter: Removes chlorine and other chemical contaminants, improving taste and odor.

* Reverse Osmosis Membrane: Eliminates the majority of microscopic contaminants, including heavy metals and pathogens.

* Post Carbon Filter: A final filtration step to ensure the water is clean and tastes great.

* UV Sterilization: Uses ultraviolet light to kill any remaining bacteria or viruses, ensuring 99.99% purified water.

The result? Our customers get clean, safe, and great-tasting water right at their home.

Digital/Service Example:

Service: Social media marketing agency for local businesses.

Mechanism: Our unique mechanism involves a comprehensive, data-driven, and personalized social media strategy:

* Client Discovery: We start by understanding the client's business, target audience, and goals.

* Market Research: We conduct extensive research to understand industry trends, competition, and audience behavior.

* Strategy Development: We formulate a personalized social media strategy, deciding on the best platforms to use, types of content to create, and the optimal posting schedule.

* Content Creation & Management: We create engaging content and manage the client's social media accounts, including posting content and responding to comments or messages.

* Analytics & Reporting: We analyze performance data and provide the client with easy-to-understand reports on campaign effectiveness. We also use this data to optimize the strategy continuously.

The result? Our clients see improved brand visibility, increased engagement, and more leads generated from their social media channels, leading to a higher ROI for their marketing efforts.

5. Buyer Leads

What is something that you can sell that will help them achieve their desired outcome faster?

These are the low-ticket items or Introductory offers that your business sells. Not lead magnets. A buyer lead is someone who gives you money for a low-ticket offer. The purpose of this offer is to give your customers a taste of what it is like to do business with you and your business. For you, this is a clear sign that they might be interested in taking you up on your higher ticket offers.

Physical Product Example: A company selling high-quality, eco-friendly kitchen appliances could offer a discounted starter pack. This pack could include essential items such as a blender, toaster, and kettle. This bundle gives customers a taste of the product line and can potentially lead to them purchasing more items from the brand in the future.

Digital/Service Example: A digital marketing consultancy could offer an introductory course on Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques. This course would provide value by teaching businesses how to boost their online presence, thus demonstrating the consultancy's expertise and potentially attracting customers for more comprehensive, higher-cost services.

6. Conversion

What path does this customer need to take to buy my high-ticket offer?The next Issue is all about this, and I go into great detail of how to map out your conversion path.A conversion path is a process or journey that a prospective customer goes through, from being a visitor to becoming a paying customer or user of a product or service.

Physical Product Example: High-End Custom Furniture

Awareness: Prospective customers might become aware of your custom furniture brand through a feature in a luxury home design magazine or an online ad showcasing a beautifully crafted piece of furniture.

Interest: They visit your website to browse your gallery of custom furniture and subscribe to your newsletter to get updates on new designs and collections.

Consideration: They request a catalog or schedule a visit to your showroom to see the craftsmanship and quality of your furniture in person. They may also compare your furniture with other high-end brands.

Intent: The prospect requests a quote for a custom piece or adds a product to their online shopping cart.

Evaluation: They review the quote, check delivery and assembly details, review your warranty and return policies, or compare prices with other luxury brands one last time.

Purchase: The customer places an order for their custom piece or completes their online purchase.

Retention/Advocacy: After their purchase, you provide excellent customer service, including updates on the creation and delivery of their custom piece. Upon delivery, you request a review or referral, and you continue to engage them with newsletters featuring new collections or offers.

Digital/Service Example: Business Coaching Service

Awareness: Prospective clients might hear about your business coaching services through a referral, a LinkedIn post, or a targeted ad.

Interest: They visit your website to learn more about your services, credentials, and success stories. They sign up for your email list to receive free business tips and resources.

Consideration: They attend a free webinar or workshop you host, giving them a sample of your coaching style and the value you provide.

Intent: The prospect schedules a free initial consultation to discuss their business challenges and goals.

Evaluation: They review the proposal you send after the consultation, including the coaching package details, pricing, and potential ROI. They might compare your proposal with other coaches they are considering.

Purchase: The client decides to hire you as their business coach and pays for their chosen coaching package.

Retention/Advocacy: After their coaching program is completed, they might choose to continue working with you, or if they've reached their goal, they leave a testimonial and refer you to other business owners in their network. You continue to engage them with valuable content, such as newsletters or exclusive alumni resources.

7. Offer 

What does your customer truly desire, and what is the transformation you provide? The desired outcome. If you know what your market truly wants, they will pay whatever you want to get it.

What you deliver to your customer has very little to do with the offer itself. 

Physical Product Example: High-end sports equipment company: Their customers, competitive athletes, truly desire to enhance their performance and have an edge over their competitors. The company's offer could be a state-of-the-art tennis racket, made with unique technology and materials that provide superior control and power. The price point is high, but athletes are willing to pay for the potential performance improvement.

Digital/Service Example: A cybersecurity consultancy firm: Their customers, typically large corporations, desire robust security systems to prevent data breaches that could cost millions and harm their reputation. The firm's offer is a comprehensive cybersecurity package, including risk assessment, system upgrades, employee training, and ongoing support. Despite the high cost, corporations are willing to invest to protect their valuable data.

8. Delivery

How am I going to deliver on my promises?

This is the products or services you provide to the customer after they pay. This the actual “work” that your company needs to do to help your customer achieve their goal.

Physical Product Example: The sports equipment company delivers their products via premium courier services, ensuring safe and fast delivery. After-sales support is provided through their customer service team, who can handle any issues or inquiries. The company also offers a membership program with benefits like exclusive access to new products, special discounts, and priority customer service.

Digital/Service Example: The cybersecurity firm delivers its services through a combination of on-site and remote operations. They first perform on-site assessments and system upgrades, then provide remote ongoing support and training via online platforms. They offer a secure client portal for customers to track progress, report issues, and access resources. Dedicated account managers are assigned to each client to ensure personalized, timely service.

9. Ascension 

How can I get my lead buyers to buy my high-ticket or high-margin offerings?The ones that bought your lead magnet 🧲 are most likely to buy your more expensive products.

Physical Product Example: Following the Solo Stove example, a company selling high-end BBQ grills could use a similar strategy. Once a customer purchases a grill, the company could offer complementary high-margin items like premium grill covers, BBQ tool sets, or specialty cooking accessories. The purchase of these additional items significantly increases the customer's Lifetime Value (LTV).

Digital/Service Example: A financial advisory firm could sell an eBook or online course about investment strategies for a low price. After purchasing the book or course, customers gain a taste of the firm's expertise. The firm can then offer a high-ticket personalized financial planning service, where customers receive one-on-one advice tailored to their specific financial situation. This ascension model allows customers to experience the value of the service at a lower cost before committing to a more expensive, personalized service.

10. Frequency 

How can I sell more to my existing customers?The more offers you make, the more sales you will make.

If you make 10x more offers today, you will make 10x the revenue.

Physical Product Example: A company selling eco-friendly personal care products could implement a subscription model, ensuring customers receive their favorite products regularly without having to place individual orders each time. Additionally, the company can leverage SMS marketing to send personalized offers, product recommendations, and reminders for replenishment.

Digital/Service Example: A digital marketing consultancy firm can send daily emails with tips and strategies for improving online presence. This not only provides value to the customers but also keeps the company at the top of their mind. Occasionally, these emails could include exclusive offers for their services or courses, increasing the chances of additional sales.

11. Retention 

How can I keep my customers for longer and Increase LTVs?

Keep the current customer you have and get them to spend more with you.  

Physical Product Example: A high-end cosmetics company could implement a loyalty program where customers earn points for each purchase. These points can be redeemed for discounts, special products, or exclusive experiences. By providing regular customers with extra value, the company increases the likelihood of them making repeat purchases, thus increasing the customer's Lifetime Value (LTV).

Digital/Service Example: A cloud-based project management software company could offer a continuity program. This could be in the form of a subscription service with different tiers, providing various levels of functionalities and services. Customers who invest in learning the system and integrating it into their workflow will find it more challenging to switch to a different platform due to the time and effort already invested. This 'stickiness' can lead to a long-term customer relationship, therefore increasing LTV.

The Math To 7-Figures

If you sell something for $1000, you are just 1000 sales away from $1,000,000 In sales. We will go deep into the math behind your campaigns but know that it’s only 20 sales a week to hit that goal.

If you were to double your price to “$2000,” you would only need 10 sales a week and so on. The higher the ticket, the easier it will be to hit your goal. Not saying to raise your prices haphazardly, but I do recommend you consider it! 

The Wrap Up

“A big business starts small.” - Richard Branson

As we wrap up this issue, let's remind ourselves that the path to seven figures and beyond is paved with creative strategies, tenacity, and unwavering dedication. Remember, the pursuit of becoming a 7-figure earner is not a sprint but a marathon, requiring constant learning, adaptation, and, most importantly, resilience.

Don't hesitate to step out of your comfort zone and experiment with new strategies and tactics. After all, the journey to seven figures is as much about learning and evolving as it is about achieving your financial targets.

Stay committed to your vision, embrace the journey, and soon you will be sharing your own seven-figure success story.

To your health & wealth,

The Right Person- Your Perfect Audience

Rewind a few years. I was just a guy filled to the brim with dreams and a burning desire to make it big in the world. I took the plunge and started my agency. (For the third time…) Bold? Yes. Foolish? Maybe. But I was hell-bent on making it work.

My plan was simple, or so I thought – target every entrepreneur out there. Cast the net wide, and catch big, right? Well, let's say the universe had other plans. 

My dream was sinking faster than a lead balloon. Long days, short nights, and yet, the business was barely limping along.

But, hey, I was born stubborn. This was just a rough patch, I told myself. I just needed to hang in there.

That’s when fate stepped in. A chance conversation with a mentor of mine turned out to be the life jacket I needed. Instead of casting my net wide, they said, I should focus. Find a niche and dig deep. So, I did.

I chose eCommerce brands. I won't lie; it was a risk. But, the appeal? Irresistible.

The road was rough. Think of trekking on a mountain with a boulder strapped to your back. That's what it felt like. I had to build new networks, dive into the nuances of the eCommerce world, and overhaul my marketing strategies.

Then, came the breakthrough. I'd spent countless hours getting to know eCommerce businesses, understanding what makes them tick, and tweaking my presentations to strike the right chord. 

I took a deep breath and launched a direct response campaign.

Slowly but surely, the gears started turning. The response was trickling in, and then it came flooding. My hard work paid off – we did $500k in a single year. (This was a lot for me at the time.) 

Hell yeah, dreams do come true!

I had uncovered the right person that I could go all out in serving. (This was a lightning-in-a-bottle moment for me.)

That success wasn't the finish line; it was just the start. I had a taste of what knowing your audience, serving them right, and delivering spot-on messages could do. And I was hungry for more.

Today, I no longer run my agency, but the results we got for our client is a testament to the power of knowing your audience and serving them right. 

The journey was long, the lessons hard-earned, but hey, it was all worth it. The focus, the understanding, and the willingness to learn were the weapons I armed myself with. 

And with them, I was invincible.

So, the moral of the story is…

Knowing the “who” you serve is the difference between success and failure.

THE PERFECT AUDIENCE

Finding You're Audience:

This is a mental exercise that you can go through to better understand your target market. This is not an exact science, but it will help you get on the right track.

1. Problem: Understanding the problem your product/service seeks to solve in your target market. This involves the following steps:

Self: Does your target market believe they can solve this problem without your product/service? If they believe they can solve the problem without your help, your task is to demonstrate why your solution is more effective or beneficial.

Pay: Does your target market have the financial means to pay for a solution to their problem? If so, your product/service could be a feasible option for them.

2. Belief: Tackling the self-limiting beliefs that may be preventing your target market from solving their problem. This includes:

Self: Does your target market believe they can solve their issue with your help? Your communication should instill this belief in them.

Product: Does your target market believe your product/service is the answer to their problems? This involves convincing them of your product/service's effectiveness and suitability for their needs.

3. Desire: Are you leveraging an existing desire? Crafting new desires is possible, but it's far more effective to tap into a pre-existing desire. This requires:

Product: Is your target market motivated to use your product/service to solve their problem? You need to stir a strong desire for the transformation your product/service promises.

Pay: Is your target market willing to invest in your product/service as a solution to their problem? You need to demonstrate the value of your product/service and create a sense of urgency or scarcity to make them willing to pay.

Great, you found your market! But can you reach them easily? Because if not, you are going to have a hard time bringing all of this together. 

Find or better refine your current target market:

* Total Addressable Market (TAM):

Your TAM is the total revenue potential of your product/service, calculated by identifying your ideal customer, estimating their number in the market, and multiplying this by your average revenue per user (ARPU). This will give you a good idea if a market makes sense for you to serve.

Step 1: Define your product or service offering. What problem does it solve? What need does it fulfill?

Step 2: Identify your ideal customer. Who benefits most from your product or service?

Step 3: Estimate the number of these ideal customers in the market. This can involve market research, surveys, census data, and industry reports.

Step 4: Calculate your TAM by multiplying the estimated number of customers by the average revenue per user (ARPU).

Understanding your TAM helps you better allocate resources and make informed business decisions. The larger your TAM, the more growth potential for your business.

* Selecting a Submarket:

Selecting a submarket involves identifying a narrower, more specific audience within your larger market that would benefit greatly from your product/service. This allows for more targeted and personalized marketing strategies.

Step 1: Identify your larger market.

Step 2: Segment this market based on specific criteria like geography, demographics, behaviour, etc.

Step 3: Analyze each segment's attractiveness considering factors like size, profitability, competition, and alignment with your business goals and capabilities.

Step 4: Choose the most attractive segment as your submarket.

This process allows you to concentrate your efforts on a specific, highly targeted audience, thereby improving efficiency and effectiveness in your marketing.

* Setting Client Values:

Client value is about understanding and defining the characteristics, behaviours, and potential that your ideal clients possess. These values align with your business's capabilities and goals, allowing you to attract and retain clients that can contribute significantly to your success.

Step 1: Identify Your Ideal Client Profile

Start by creating a detailed profile of your ideal client. This could include attributes like their industry, size, location, and financial stability, as well as their needs, challenges, and goals. Consider aspects like the client's willingness to innovate, potential for growth, and alignment with your company's values.

Step 2: Define Key Value Indicators

Once you have a clear profile, establish the Key Value Indicators (KVIs) - these are markers of success that will help you determine if a client fits your ideal profile. Examples could be the size of the potential contract, longevity of the relationship, or the strategic fit with your business objectives.

Step 3: Set Expectations

For each KVI, set a realistic expectation. These expectations will serve as benchmarks to assess potential clients. For example, you may want clients who are not in survival mode and have a product or service that is already performing well in the market.

Step 4: Prioritize Potential Clients

Use the KVIs and expectations to evaluate and prioritize potential clients. Those that meet or exceed your expectations are high-value clients that deserve the most attention.

Step 5: Review and Refine

Setting client values is not a one-off task. Regularly review your KVIs, expectations, and the performance of your clients to ensure that you continue to focus on high-value clients.

Setting client values in this way allows you to proactively target and work with clients that can bring the most value to your business, leading to better client relationships and higher profitability.

* Crafting Detailed Buyer Personas:

This involves creating detailed profiles of your ideal customers, including their demographics, psychographics, needs, and pain points. It assists in understanding your audience better and tailoring marketing messages that resonate with them.

Step 1: Identify the common characteristics and behaviours of your ideal customer.

Step 2: Group these characteristics into personas representing different customer segments.

Step 3: Flesh out these personas with details like demographics, psychographics, needs, pain points, motivations, and preferred communication channels.

Step 4: Use these personas to guide your marketing and sales strategies.

* Understanding the Customer Journey:

The customer journey is the process a customer undergoes from becoming aware of your brand to making a purchase. Understanding this allows for tailored messaging and strategies at each stage, improving the chances of conversion.

Step 1: Identify the different stages of your customer's journey (Awareness, Consideration, Decision).

Step 2: Understand the needs, behaviours, and touchpoints at each stage.

Step 3: Develop tailored messages and strategies for each stage to guide your customer towards purchase and beyond.

* Cultural Considerations:

These involve understanding the cultural nuances of your target audience, which can impact their perception and acceptance of your product/service. This ensures your marketing messages are culturally sensitive and relevant.

Step 1: Understand the cultural context of your target market.

Step 2: Be aware of and respectful of cultural norms, values, and traditions.

Step 3: Adapt your product/service and marketing strategies to align with these cultural nuances.

* Reachability:

Reachability refers to your ability to reach your target market with your marketing efforts effectively. It involves understanding where your audience spends time and their preferred channels of communication and tailoring your strategies accordingly. I really dive deep into this in the “Right Time” that I will be posting in a couple of weeks.

Step 1: Identify the networks and platforms your target market uses.

Step 2: Are they on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, or niche forums? What software do they use?

Step 3: Use this information to tailor your marketing efforts and reach your audience through the right platforms and channels.

* Customer Feedback Loop:

This is a process of actively seeking, analyzing, and acting upon feedback from customers. It helps in understanding their needs better, improving your product/service, and enhancing customer satisfaction.

Step 1: Develop methods to collect customer feedback (surveys, reviews, social media, customer service interactions).

Step 2: Analyze this feedback for insights into customer satisfaction, product/service improvements, and market trends.

Step 3: Implement changes based on feedback and communicate these changes to customers.

Step 4: Repeat the process continuously for ongoing improvement.

* Vetting a Market:

Vetting a market involves determining whether your target audience possesses the ability and willingness to purchase your offerings. This requires market research, understanding the audience's financial capability, and evaluating their perceived value of your product/service.

Step 1: Identify your target market.

Step 2: Conduct market research to understand its size, growth potential, competitive landscape, and customer behaviour.

Step 3: Validate the market's ability to pay by looking at the average income levels, spending habits, and price sensitivity.

Step 4: Validate the market's willingness to pay by identifying their pain points and understanding how well your product/service resolves them.

The Right Person & Key Takeaways:

Secret #1: Targeting Masterstroke: Knowing your Total Addressable Market (TAM) and your specific submarket isn't just useful; it's a game-changer. It narrows down your audience, setting the stage for targeted ads that hit the bullseye.

Secret #2: Customers Are Not Created Equal: Recognize this, and focus your energy on the customers who pack the most punch in terms of value.

Secret #3: Non-Linear Journey: The customer journey is a winding road, not a straight line. Tailor your strategies to each stage to keep your customers engaged and moving forward.

The Wrap Up

💡 "Marketing is really just about sharing your passion." - Michael Hyatt

As we conclude this issue, I want you to reflect on the importance of truly knowing your audience. Remember, every piece of your marketing strategy, from identifying your Total Addressable Market to crafting detailed buyer personas, is a thread in the fabric of your connection with your perfect audience.

Continue to fine-tune your strategies, embrace the non-linear nature of the customer journey, and listen to your customer feedback. Above all, share your passion with your audience because that is the essence of effective marketing.

Join Our New Weekly Newsletter About… You Guest It! Newsletters! Introducing ImpactLetter.

Hey there, Direct Response Family!

It's me, Zachary J. Radford, coming to you not with our usual weekly dose of marketing gold, but with something a bit different today. 🌟

First off, I've noticed some of you reached out wondering where last Wednesday's episode was. Huge thanks for that – it means the world to me that you're tuning in and missing us when we're not around. It shows me just how much you value what we do here. And for that, I'm super grateful. 🙏

Now, let's get down to the nitty-gritty of today's message.

We're shaking things up a bit at Direct Response Secrets. No, we're not going anywhere – far from it. But we are tweaking our schedule to a once-a-month show for the time being. Why, you ask? Well, there's a whole lot of behind-the-scenes action happening that I'm about to share with you. So, buckle up! 🚀

It all started in 2022 when, despite our booming business, we hit a major snag – our Facebook account got banned. Overnight, our revenue stream was in jeopardy. Despite all efforts, we couldn't recover the account. It was a harsh lesson, but one that led me down an unexpected, yet incredible path.

I dabbled in selling the business, only to realize its value was perceived as less than I expected. This was a wake-up call. I realized the true value wasn't in a service-based business reliant on one platform or person but in building something with wider impact.

Enter the world of newsletters. Despite my initial resistance, I dove headfirst into the world of newsletter creation and direct response marketing, achieving open rates that would make any marketer's heart skip a beat. This journey transformed me from a guy running an agency to a recognized authority in the marketing world, opening doors I never imagined.

And so, Direct Response Secrets was born out of a passion for sharing this invaluable knowledge. Yet, as my journey evolved, so too did my focus. The creation of Impact Letter – a weekly newsletter dedicated to the art and science of newsletters – has become my new calling. It's where I pour my heart and soul, sharing breakdowns, strategies, and the very essence of what makes newsletters a powerful tool in today's digital world.

This brings us to our big announcement: Direct Response Secrets will shift to a monthly format for the foreseeable future. This isn't goodbye; it's just a new chapter. We have some incredible interviews lined up that you won't want to miss. And in between, I'll be dedicating my time to Impact Letter, helping you and many others dominate your industries through the power of newsletters.

I'm beyond excited for this new direction and the opportunity it presents to both learn and share even more with you. The future is bright, and it's filled with impactful newsletters and the continuation of our Direct Response Secrets journey, albeit at a slightly different pace.

Thank you for being the best part of this journey. Your support fuels my passion and drives me to continue delivering content that makes a real difference. Stay tuned for the amazing content we have in store, and don't forget to join us over at Impact Letter for your weekly dose of newsletter wisdom.

Here's to embracing change and the endless possibilities it brings!

Warm regards,

Zachary J. RadfordP.s. And always remember… Keep your stick on the ice! Talk soon!

I wish someone had told me this years ago! 

This one shift saved my business life. 

It is literally responsible for saving me 10s of thousands of hours of my time and so much energy that I can't even comprehend!Here is the big secret, ready? 

NO MORE MEETINGS! 

Yup, no sales meetings, No ongoing client meetings… Why, you might ask? 

Because they suck! I spent the first 15 years in business just buried in meetings.

I’m talking about 3+ meetings a day, five days a week. I have been in 3+ hour-long meetings where we could have sent a two-sentence email that would have summed it up.

E.g. “We need to get more sales. Keep up the good work!”   Don’t get me started on project management meetings. 

Nobody pays attention, and you have someone rambling for 2 - 3 hours!

And it always ends the same…

“Please look at the timeline and the assigned tasks inside Monday.com” 

And you are like, “yup, I saw that last week… Craig!” 

Or the “You are our ad person; I want you to sit in on our weekly meeting” OMG… Shoot me now! 

They NEVER talk about ads in these meetings… 

and 9/10 is a meeting about other meetings that will happen in the future! I remember saying, “So this is a meeting about a meeting that yall are going to attend next? What does this have to do with ads?”

Or, If you stick around long enough and get bored, you can start providing advice on totally unrelated topics that have absolutely nothing to do with you.

E.g.Like, what colour they should paint the office or if they should make a new logo!

Please make it stop! 

That’s Great But, How do you get around meetings?

We run a soon-to-be $100m dollar media company and have had two meetings in the last three months. 15 min each.

We only use voice and chat through Telegram, and it’s free! :) 

Do you still have meetings?

Yes, but only if they are absolutely vital or interesting!

E.g.

They will not close without a meeting if I have a $250k+ deal sitting on the table. You bet I’m gonna take that call.

I avoid these two calls unless I’m getting paid at least $1000+ for the call. I highly recommend you do the same.

The first one is the “You got a min.” or “Let me pick your brain.” call. 

The second is the “Why should we work together?” call.

I send this simple email that AI wrote me:

Dear [Name],

Thank you for your meeting request. Unfortunately, I am unable to meet at this time due to my high volume of meeting requests. However, I am available for a one-hour consultation at a rate of $1000 if you are interested. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Sincerely, [Your Name]

If they want to pay me… I send them my Sam Cart, and boom, we meet. 

This helps me weed out all of the tire kickers, and my morale has gone through the roof, which gets me in the zone to create content like this! :)

This may sound counterintuitive, but do yourself a favour and make it harder for people to get in touch with you! Your creativity and input will skyrocket! You can thank me later!Peace!
