5. 1. How can I be guaranteed to get in front of real people?
2. How am I going to get that real person to buy from me a
second, third and fourth time?
3. How can I get them to buy from me that second time as
quickly as possible?
4. What else can I do with the customer relationship that will
encourage growth?
7. Get comfortable with 5 things
1. Researching people with reach (bloggers, reviewers, social media
"influencers", group admins, etc) & figuring out their contact info.
2. Reaching out and figuring out a way to work together.
3. Hearing "no"
4. Being ignored.
5. Going back to 1.
8. How can we do this?
‣ Google search
‣ Sonar.bottlenose.com
‣ Topsy.com
‣ reddit.com/domain/www.blahblah.com
9. Start a spreadsheet…
KEEP TRACK OF THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION
Domain, contact info, whether they reply and the
offer you’re making together
BUILD THE INITIAL SPREADSHEET TO CONTAIN AT
LEAST 50 CONTACTS
Bonus points: create a "secret" list on Twitter that
tracks their activity.
10. Do outreach
‣ This is where it comes down to your own
personal experience and style.
‣ I can't tell you the "best" way to do outreach,
because that's like saying what's the "best" way to
telephone. There is no one right way.
16. THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU “NO”,
BUT SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY “YES”
17. How do I get the second,
third and fourth sale?
18. (WAIT, WHY AM I NOT FOCUSING ON
GETTING THE FIRST SALE?)
19.

23. SO HOW CAN YOU GET PEOPLE TO COME
BACK AND SPEND SO MUCH MORE?
24. 1. HAVE AN EMAIL MARKETING STRATEGY THAT GIVES PEOPLE
A REASON TO BUY AGAIN
‣ Up sells
‣ Cross-sells
‣ Logical second purchases
‣ Flash sales
2. TALK WITH YOUR INITIAL CUSTOMERS TO LEARN ABOUT WHAT
THE LIKE/DON'T LIKE ABOUT CURRENT PROVIDERS.
‣ What about you?
‣ What almost made them not buy?
‣ Working with your existing customers will help you to further
develop your offering
25. What else can you do with the customer
relationship to encourage growth?
26. THIS CAN INCLUDE…
Refer a friend program
Encourage them to connect to social channels
Ask them for feedback on a content strategy
