but only 3% of them have a formal policy in place).
• Do you have a “Touch” system to stay connected with your clients etc.?

Retail Store Mails 500 Pieces to Prospects with a Coupon

Sales Conversation Takes Place
10 Sales are made
Average Sale = $80 x 10 Equals $800

Step 1 – How Do I Make the Direct Mail and E-Mail More Effective to Increase
Prospects?
* Right Target Market?
* A Different, More Compelling Headline?
* A Different Offer?
* Build in more Benefits?
* Offer Proof and Testimonials?
* “You” Approach Rather Than a “We” or “Us” Approach?
* Test it on a Smaller Population Before we Roll it Out?
GOAL = INCREASE PROSPECTS AND CUSTOMER WORTH
OPTIMIZATION
Step 2 – 50 Prospects Enter the Store
* How do we create a more positive impression?
* How do we make the store more inviting?

our Prospects, Prospective Customers, Current Customers, and
Past Customers?

Build Rapport, Trust, and Integrity in Their Sales Conversations?

GOAL = INCREASE THE WORTH OF A CUSTOMER
• Let‟s think about your sales letters, brochures, your post
card campaigns, your website, your email campaigns, etc.
Are you sure they are all conveying the proper message?
Are they really getting the results you are looking for? Can
they be optimized to get better results?
Optimize For Results
• If you want more sales…. ALL of your marketing
must say the right thing and convey a benefit driven
message!
• Using the right Headlines, Copy writing, and Visuals,
makes the difference when it comes to maximizing
RESULTS! In print, in video, on the web, in any
advertisement or marketing campaign. Your
message needs to convey your U.S.P and ALWAYS
have a call to action!
Optimize at Every Touch Point.
The bottom line is this… your business is either “Growing” or
„Dying” it is never staying the same. The question is, which
way are you going?
Are you doing everything you can to optimize and systematize
EVERY area of your business? Or are you just spending
more money on advertising hoping to bring in more
customers?
Just for fun take a minute to write your 30 second elevator
speech explaining your company…..

Getting Your message To Resonate Is your Greatest Challenge
YOU HAVE COMPETITION FOR YOUR MESSAGES
Your audience is exposed to approximately 2500 marketing messages a day!
What are your prospects thinking about? – Themselves!
YOUR MESSAGES MUST BE COMPELLING!
“What We Do”
Messages that do not resonate
(“I, We”)
vs.
“What’s In It For You”?
Benefit Driven Message (Impact)
(“You, Your”)
Headlines must be intriguing, and
capture the prospects attention.
The right headline can
outperform by as much as 500%
or more!
Pain / Fear outsells gain 5/1 Emotions outsell logic 5/1
• Let‟s think about your sales letters, brochures, your post
card campaigns, your website, your email campaigns, etc.
Are you sure they are all conveying the proper message?
Are they really resonating with our customers and getting the
results you are looking for? Can they be optimized to get
better results?

Do you participate at trade shows? Are your trade shows as effective as
they can be? Or are you participating because your competitors are?
Look at the expense…The cost of participating in the show, the cost of your
booth, the labor hours invested at the booth, cost of the brochures, cost of
any promotional items used, cost of invitations, and the cost of post show
follow up etc.. With so much being spent anyway, doesn‟t it make sense
to get the best results possible?
Question…Is it important for you to get “the right” people to your booth? If it
is, can you see the benefit of us putting a formal process in place to do
this?

Study
• 60% of all new businesses fail
within the first six years of
operation
• Dun and Bradstreet estimates 82%

Two Reasons Why
Businesses Fail
• Failure to understand the market
for the business‟s product or
service.
• “One of the biggest problems with
small-business owners is that they
have a great idea about going into
business, but they don’t have a
clue about the amount of work it
will take to get their product or
service to their clients.”
Moe Mowry - Business

Having a USP like …Best Price, or Highest Quality, is
like not having one at all! Everyone says the same
thing. It does NOT Differentiate you from anyone else!
A good USP will let others know about your company,
what you stand for, and why they should buy from you
over all others including doing nothing at all!
USP’s Are Vital To your Success
Here are a few companies or brands that have such a strong
USP you can define them in some cases with as little as one
word!
• Crest Toothpaste – “Cavity Prevention”
• Visa – “Everywhere”
• Volvo – “Safety”
• Fed X – “When it positively needs to be there overnight”!
• Ferrari – “ Speed”
• Mercedes – “ Prestige” – “Engineering”
• Toyota – “ Reliability”

“Cash is Not King” when it comes to increasing performance!
Yes it’s true…Employees will always say they would like cash for their employee
performance award. But, is that really the right question to ask?
The question managers need to ask themselves is “what motivates
our employees to perform at higher levels”? Here are the facts!
• Merchandise awards are remembered longer than cash awards.
• 60% of employees view cash as compensation.
• 53% of employees look at bonuses as something they are due.
• Merchandise / luxury awards outperformed their cash group counterparts by 70-80%.
Source: Robert Half International
Performance & Recognition
Why Merchandise (Luxury) Awards Outperform Cash!!!
• With money, an employee may ask him/herself “Is that all I’m worth?” which may be
worse than not having an incentive at all.
• Cash incentives and bonuses often become expected compensation.
• Non-cash incentives tend to be kept separate from compensation, thus standing out
as rewards for performance.
• Non-cash incentives, such as luxury awards, are things people would love to have but
would never justify purchasing with their own money. This actually increases the
intrinsic value of the award.
• Luxury incentives have trophy value and are more likely to be acknowledged than
cash.

Case Examples / Bill Analysis
You never know what to expect in an audit. Some of the clients who are doubtful that we will find
anything new are completely amazed at what our process uncovers. We know from experience that
there is value in taking a deeper look.
A Regional Department Store with Locations in PA, NJ, MD, WV, NY, CT, and NH, received a refund of
$68,000 from a prior electric supplier for billing errors and received a rate schedule change for one
facility that saves $24,000 annually.
We identified $80,000 in erroneous installation and termination charges for a National Financing
Company on their data network. In addition, fraudulent credit card use was uncovered as well as
minimum charges billed for phone lines that had been discontinued two years prior.
UtiliTarget / Cost Recovery
Case Examples / Cost Reduction
Two pharmaceutical clients, one in research & development and the other in specialized packaging,
asked us to help manage their utility expenses. Both companies are comprised of multiple locations
and have large energy expenditures.
After completing comprehensive audits, we identified refund opportunities of $180,000 and
$150,000 respectively. In addition, recurring savings that totaled approximately $260,000 per year
were also obtained through rate changes and timely procurement decisions.
We were able to obtain a $48,000 regulatory based refund for a plastics manufacturer with one
location and monthly savings of about $1,600. Additional recommendations for an equipment
upgrade and rate change produced another $3,300 per month.
UtiliTarget / Cost Recovery
Case Examples / Outsourcing
A New Jersey Hospital facility was looking at a rate increase of 14 percent with the start of full NJ
electricity deregulation. We negotiated favorable alternate supply rates to maximize savings versus
full service default rates. Savings have averaged $9,000 per month.
A Massachusetts property management firm was faced with increasing utility costs across multiple
locations. We advised them on best rate choices and handled the confusing alternate supplier
shopping process. Electric procurement savings have averaged over $17,000 per month.

Cause marketing and Fundraising
• Creative Graphic Designs, Logo Creation, Branding (The right look and message is very
important. (Kleenex, sharpie example)
• Professional Headline and Copy Writing (It’s not only what you say it’s how you say it.)
• Contact Management Process and Development. Call scripting, data basing strategy and
development (Helping you stay organized)
• Client “Touch” systems – Email campaign development. (Keeping in front of your
prospects and clients with the right message in a timely manner)
• Power point design and creation – Training manuals – presentation systems
• Complete training in your facility or ours! (Convenience)
• Complete Website Design, Website correction, SEO (Organic, Ad words, and PPC). 3
parts… Having the “right kind of website that sells” a website that can be found by
people looking for your products and services. And a site that captures the persons
attention and information.
List of Things We Can DO
• Splash, Landing Page Creation and data capture.
• Companion “Boost” Site Creation and optimization. (mini sites that pertain exactly to the
advertisement rather than dropping a person into your complete website. This is a bridge
to the sale. These sites are SEO’d and video thumb nailed.
• Full service artwork / graphic design and printing. (Business cards, forms, brochures,
signs, banners) (any printer will print, but we design copy that Works before it gets
printed that’s the difference.)
• Variable Data printing and “PURL” technology. (Personalize any mailing and leading them
to a personal welcoming web experience.)
• Complete Video Production. For Training, Web and Television (our location or yours we
do it all.)
• Promotional Products. (choosing the right item and what to put on it)
3 Ways We Work With Clients
• Creative Piece Design (taking the right item and packaging it correctly with call to
action, deliver to the right people and proper follow up and tracking results is key)
• Welcome Kit Creation (No better way to introduce your company or solidify a sale)
• Creative Packaging
• Custom Screen printed and embroidered apparel
• Incentives Awards
• Recognition, incentive and full performance programs
• Trade show success programs
• Wellness, safety, and suggestion programs
• Account activation and retention programs
3 Ways We Work With Clients
• “Cause Marketing” programs used to raise money for your charity of choice and
build Public Relations for your organization
• Fundraising opportunities
• Mass Marketing, Print Media, Radio, TV, and Billboards
• Press Release Creation and Placement
• “Operations” Cost Recover strategies
Having these elements of your business done separately and put together by
anyone other than someone who understands your business and has a solid
understanding of marketing and advertising is like committing business malpractice.
3 Ways We Work With Clients
Do you have a Sales funnel system, or use squeeze pages?
• http://www.keywordwinner.com/make-money/
• Is there a need for Custom CRM implementation or programming?
• Do you need a custom Mobile App developed for your
organization?
Question….What is it costing you NOT to have these things in place?

Integrated Marketing
Anecdote: A man dies and finds himself at the Pearly Gates with both St. Peter
and the devil. St. Peter says you weren‟t supposed to die for another 10 years.
We‟ll have to send you back. The man is thrilled , but on his way out he sees one
door to heaven and one door to hell.
He hears a raging party behind the door to hell and takes a peek inside. Inside is
an incredible party, endless food, champagne, music, and every rock star from
history beckoning him to join them. He says if this is hell , I want in!
When he returns to Earth, he spends the next decade committing every sin he
knows, ten years to the day, he dies and meets the devil in the front of the door to
hell. As the door opens he hears no music and sees no party; only fire and
brimstone of a thousand damned souls.
He cries, “Wait! Where‟s the party?” the devil smiles and explains, “Oh, ten years
ago you were a prospect. Now you‟re a customer.”

  • 79. “Cash is Not King” when it comes to increasing performance! Yes it’s true…Employees will always say they would like cash for their employee performance award. But, is that really the right question to ask? The question managers need to ask themselves is “what motivates our employees to perform at higher levels”? Here are the facts! • Merchandise awards are remembered longer than cash awards. • 60% of employees view cash as compensation. • 53% of employees look at bonuses as something they are due. • Merchandise / luxury awards outperformed their cash group counterparts by 70-80%. Source: Robert Half International Performance & Recognition
  • 80. Why Merchandise (Luxury) Awards Outperform Cash!!! • With money, an employee may ask him/herself “Is that all I’m worth?” which may be worse than not having an incentive at all. • Cash incentives and bonuses often become expected compensation. • Non-cash incentives tend to be kept separate from compensation, thus standing out as rewards for performance. • Non-cash incentives, such as luxury awards, are things people would love to have but would never justify purchasing with their own money. This actually increases the intrinsic value of the award. • Luxury incentives have trophy value and are more likely to be acknowledged than cash.

  • 83. UtiliTarget / Cost Recovery Case Examples / Bill Analysis You never know what to expect in an audit. Some of the clients who are doubtful that we will find anything new are completely amazed at what our process uncovers. We know from experience that there is value in taking a deeper look. A Regional Department Store with Locations in PA, NJ, MD, WV, NY, CT, and NH, received a refund of $68,000 from a prior electric supplier for billing errors and received a rate schedule change for one facility that saves $24,000 annually. We identified $80,000 in erroneous installation and termination charges for a National Financing Company on their data network. In addition, fraudulent credit card use was uncovered as well as minimum charges billed for phone lines that had been discontinued two years prior.
  • 84. UtiliTarget / Cost Recovery Case Examples / Cost Reduction Two pharmaceutical clients, one in research & development and the other in specialized packaging, asked us to help manage their utility expenses. Both companies are comprised of multiple locations and have large energy expenditures. After completing comprehensive audits, we identified refund opportunities of $180,000 and $150,000 respectively. In addition, recurring savings that totaled approximately $260,000 per year were also obtained through rate changes and timely procurement decisions. We were able to obtain a $48,000 regulatory based refund for a plastics manufacturer with one location and monthly savings of about $1,600. Additional recommendations for an equipment upgrade and rate change produced another $3,300 per month.
  • 85. UtiliTarget / Cost Recovery Case Examples / Outsourcing A New Jersey Hospital facility was looking at a rate increase of 14 percent with the start of full NJ electricity deregulation. We negotiated favorable alternate supply rates to maximize savings versus full service default rates. Savings have averaged $9,000 per month. A Massachusetts property management firm was faced with increasing utility costs across multiple locations. We advised them on best rate choices and handled the confusing alternate supplier shopping process. Electric procurement savings have averaged over $17,000 per month.

  • 109. Anecdote: A man dies and finds himself at the Pearly Gates with both St. Peter and the devil. St. Peter says you weren‟t supposed to die for another 10 years. We‟ll have to send you back. The man is thrilled , but on his way out he sees one door to heaven and one door to hell. He hears a raging party behind the door to hell and takes a peek inside. Inside is an incredible party, endless food, champagne, music, and every rock star from history beckoning him to join them. He says if this is hell , I want in! When he returns to Earth, he spends the next decade committing every sin he knows, ten years to the day, he dies and meets the devil in the front of the door to hell. As the door opens he hears no music and sees no party; only fire and brimstone of a thousand damned souls. He cries, “Wait! Where‟s the party?” the devil smiles and explains, “Oh, ten years ago you were a prospect. Now you‟re a customer.” A Quick Story
