Good morning
• My name is Bruce Rossiter.

• I was invited to give a brief rundown about
  Zoom Sales & Marketing and Zoom Industries.
• I’ll do that by giving you some good news and
  some bad news.



2/8/2011         © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing   3
The good news
• We know the good news. More businesses
  than ever will be sold over the next 10 years.
• Between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2011, more than
  7,000 people will turn 65 every day of the
  year. Many own businesses they must sell.




2/8/2011         © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing   4
The bad news is best described by several
experts as to the problems we face.

Forrester research paper
Forrester Research explains in a new paper* that in the
  future there will only be two types of companies:
• Those that are agile and adapt to consumers’
  changing media behavior, and
• Those that go out of business.




   *CMO Mandate: Adapt or Perish by Chris Stutzman for CMO & Marketing Leadership Professionals. 11/10/2010



2/8/2011                                © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing                                      6
Wall Street Journal’s op-ed page recently stated:
• “…this new, exponentially expanding world of information technologies is
  now creating permanent instability ….”
.
• “It disrupts everything it touches. It overturned the entire music
  industry...”
•   .
• “Barack Obama and the Democrats just got hit with the same disruptive
  force. The viral dissemination of ObamaCare information fed directly into
  the historic November election shellacking.”
•    .
• “Nor is it obvious how ‘Businesses’ should adapt to an exponentially larger
  population of ‘always-engaged people’.”




                                           * Daniel Henninger, “Stability's End “, WSJ, 2/3/2011



2/8/2011                    © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing                                       7
We have seen daunting examples of
              business disruption:
•     The house bubble collapse, abetted by media,
•     The Education market, with iPads replacing books,
•     The publishing business facing free content everywhere,
•     Unemployment remaining high due to outdated labor skills,

• The rapid spread and pervasive amount of information is
  a common denominator,
• The availability of digital platforms to over two-thirds of
  earth’s population is the second factor.
     – Mobile telephones (4.6 billion worldwide)*
     – Facebook (over 500 million users)**

Here is how we must adapt
           (adapted from the Forrester Paper as applied to businesses)

The five habits of highly
  adaptive businesses include:
•   Accept change,
•   Dare the status quo,
•   Act continuously,
•   Participate personally,
•   Tear down boundaries.


                                                                Courtesy of Left Field Cinema

Marketing leads the way in helping
       businesses adapt to change
Marketing has undergone a seismic shift in the last five years
    integrating social media with traditional marketing. It has
    learned to adapt from one-directional messaging (ads) to two-
    way conversations through Social Media. If we don’t all adapt
    to these new Social Media methods, our competitors will teach
    us how. But only after they own most of the market.




2/8/2011                © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing       11
As a group, especially in Social Media,
        we are not in good shape

Zoom looked at 12 business opportunity
websites that included the two BTI Group sites.
(No chart identifies any single website).


     Where do we stand as to using Social
                   Media?


2/8/2011                © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing   12
We have a long way to go…




           50% do not rank at all. Only 17% rank less than 1 million
2/8/2011                    © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing           13
Only 8% of our websites are Social Media enabled. Only 16% have a blog.

How to adapt your marketing


Courtesy of GetFit.SAMHSA.Gov


• The first step - take a diagnostic test to assess
  your organization’s marketing adaptability.
• This will give you actionable insights to:
     – Gauge the intensity of the effort required.
     – Identify weak links.
     – Prioritize efforts to become more adaptive.

2/8/2011                        © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing   15
There is more we can do together
• Marketing - Change to Social Media enabled and optimized
    websites,
• Sales – Update our sales skills to the most effective selling
    methods,
• Differentiate functional breakdown of skills:
      – Main Street – Only do this if you can become the Craigslist
        of business opportunities,
      – M & A – Many brokers have or will want to gravitate to this
        level of expertise and financial rewards,
• Create a core group of individuals - keep the passion
    alive for ongoing adaptation.

2/8/2011                 © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing         16
Here’s what we do
• Zoom helps you become much more
  marketing and sales adept by:
     – Generating business and sales leads for
       you, or teaching you how,
     – Building Web 2.0 websites (social media
       enabled, including blogs),
     – Writing and supplying content to Web
       2.0 sites and blogs,
     – Optimizing Web 2.0 sites and blogs so
       you are visible and findable in searches
       by your target markets.

2/8/2011               © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing   17
Why is a blog important?
In a nutshell, a blog allows several things to occur:
   • It allows you to show your expertise through your
      writings. People develop trust when they believe you are
      an expert,
   • It allows your reader’s to engage with you through their
      comments,
   • Unlike newsletters, blogs can be linked to hundreds if
      not thousands of other sites and platforms,
   • Blogs increase your websites visibility and ranking,
   • Blogs help you dominate the results on a Google search,
   • Unlike ads, blogs live on for years, constantly giving you
      exposure in the topic areas of your articles.

2/8/2011               © 2011 by Zoom Sales & Marketing       18

          they started optimizing their blogs

Influencer Target Marketing targets Influencers to pass on the message to their
                                        network.

Influencer Target Marketing is becoming as important as
          targeting to a company’s potential customers.

                                        A company can not afford to
                                         address just its potential
                                         customers.




• It must direct its messages and
  conversations toward influencers
  that engage with its potential
  customers.
