“Just show me how to get results like yours.” Sound familiar? Heck, you may have even said those same words yourself. If you haven’t said them, you’ve probably thought them.

It is not the job of the top tier direct sales consultant to simply “show you” how he/she achieves their results. In fact, if that is all you are looking for, you have got a LONG road ahead of you. Not only that, but your top tier direct sales consultant wouldn’t be doing you or themselves any favors.

Below are some things you should look for (and actually want) from your top tier direct sales consultant.

· Road Map: The best part about a top tier direct sales consultant is that they have already been there. There is no need for you to re-create the wheel. Experience is something you cannot buy. Experience also allows you to learn from their mistakes. Mistakes in this game can cost you thousands of dollars. Not to mention all the time that has been lost by doing something wrong. Your top tier direct consultant can sit with you..evaluate your situation..go over your strengths & weaknesses..put together a plan..and show you where to look out for land mines.

All in all, experience is INVALUABLE!

· Accountability: I know it doesn’t sound like fun, but without accountability you will achieve nothing. I’m serious! You are FAR more likely to finish something when you know you are going to be held accountable. Add to that you are accountable to your top tier direct sales consultant, and you will not only finish your task, but it will be done well. Achievers and Top Earners take no excuses. The Master Yoda says, “Do or do not, there is no try.”

· Results: Your top tier direct sales consultant should be concerned with one thing…YOUR results. It doesn’t matter if you are just getting started or you have been in the game for a while. There are measurable results for you to obtain. The coolest part about results is that they are repeatable. You have been given a plan based on YOU and YOUR business. So any results you get can be done again by following the plan. As your results get better and better, your plan will be refined. This is when your business starts to be REALLY fun.

You can actually expect certain results because you KNOW what to expect based on your previous EXPERIENCE.

Here is something you can take with you right now. Always set S.M.A.R.T. goals: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely

Managed security service providers (MSSPs) specialize in making enterprise-class security services affordable for small to midsized companies. Instead of paying for in house security service management, companies can now receive first rate security management in a variety IT security disciplines at a much lower price, such as antivirus management, firewall management, intrusion detection and prevention, system configuration and management and virtual private networks. While almost all companies need security management services, the degree to which they benefit from implementing IT services depends on the benefits they hope to achieve. For example, companies that use MSSPs in order to reduce staff size typically benefit from employing a range of managed services, while companies that are interested in achieving best-of-class expertise in a particular area benefit by making their service needs more isolated. Regardless of what determines your company’s need for IT consulting management, you have to remember one thing: the degree to which your company will benefit from IT consulting management depends largely on the quality of an IT services provider. With this in mind, there are three questions that you should ask of IT consulting firms before you trust them with your company’s security needs.

How many Clients does a Firm have and what are its Financials?

While a large number of clients doesn’t necessarily indicate that a firm offers unbeatable quality, it does show that the firm has done well enough with its previous clients to quickly generate new business interest. To get a better perception of an MSSP’s quality of service, it’s a good idea to ask for references that pertain to clients that were once in your position (i.e. company type and security needs). In addition to asking for particular references, it’s also a good idea to ask for a copy of an MSSP’s financials. The last thing that you want is a company that folds before it can fully deliver on its services.

What are a Firm’s Procedures in the Event of a Security Incident?

Although the point of hiring an MSSP is to ensure that security incidents do not happen, most companies eventually experience a security incident, whether from within the company or from without. An experienced MSSP will be able to tell you exactly how it deals with specific security incidents, as well as provide you with anonymous case studies to back up their claims. If you encounter a firm that claims to never experience security incidents, don’t take it as a positive sign. Either the company lacks experience or provides services that don’t work as acutely as they should.

How Do a Firm’s Given References Compare to its Non-Preferred References?

Judging a company’s quality of service by its preferred references is like judging man’s character based on the opinion of his mother. Every company has a group of references that will rant and rave about its services. But in order to get a realistic idea of how well a MSSP satisfies its customers, you need to talk to some of its non-preferred references. If you find that these references offer a vastly different opinion of a company’s performance than do its listed references, you should consider the fact that you may end up becoming a non-preferred reference as well.

Sales consultants constantly are selling themselves on their own product or service. Each delivered presentation can have the effect of reinforcing their earlier mental purchase when they originally accepted their job offer. It seems logical then, that if prospects had the same data you have had, they will buy.

Newer sales training consulting takes a slightly different view however, as it has been discovered, over the years, that too much data leads to confusion, and you get prospect hesitation and procrastination. All of us have experienced this.

This prospect characteristic of not being able to decide seems to have gone viral within many sales teams and their prospect base. Week after week, or month after month the hesitating prospects stays “on-the-board”, but seems to never close. This is frustrating for sales consultants, sales managers and the vice president of sales, not to mention owners.

The subject of giving too much data to a prospect has been addressed by many others. What is not being addressed enough, is the concept of what is the right data to give a prospect? The answer is elementary. Only discuss the data that is important to the prospect, and no more.

Gee, that’s just great, how will you know? Ask them! Remember, one has to diagnose first! What the prospect thinks they want may not be the best solution, but prospects always buy what they want, so do you – all of us do. This is why in our company, we always go by the company motto that you “sell them what they want, but deliver what they want and need”. That is a good solution for those of us in the sales training field. It may, however, not be a good solution if you are selling a product. Solutions that the prospect perceives as specific to their perceived needs earns easier decisions and fewer objections, if it is feasible.

Your job description as a “consultant” requires that you give advice. After all, a consultant is an expert who gives advice. The only way you can do this is by fully researching your prospect’s industry, their company and by talking with them to discover where problematic areas are. The use of a very specific Targeted Needs Analysis is working for many. The Targeted Needs Analysis must be salient and brief to be effective. A buyer’s time is valuable and should always be respected.

To garner the data needed for a Targeted Needs Analysis, ask some current clients and find out why they purchased your product or service. Current clients are a rich and fertile field to do research on to find out your company’s good, bad and ugly points. Correct, as quickly as is possible, the bad and ugly points and take the good points and convert that data to a question format for your Targeted Needs Analysis.

Like a good doctor, good consultants show common characteristics. If you keep the following in mind, you can rest assured that you are dealing with someone who knows what they are doing. If a company has the following traits, they have worked their way to the top in a very competitive business. You don’t accomplish that by accident.

Requirement 1. Since you are looking for someone who knows how to maximize your web site, they better know how to maximize their own. Therefor, the first requirement is that their business comes up on the first page of the search engines results page for a search on internet marketing experts. Not only do you want someone who is in the top 10, you want someone who’s site page has lots of ‘weight’ to it. Check out the page rank of the “experts” as they come up (This page rank has nothing to do with where they are in the top 10). If your browser doesn’t have a little window to display page rank, you can download a free toolbar from firefox.org.

Requirement 2: Any company you want to pay to consult with better be willing to give at least equal value to what you pay them. A good indicator of their willingness to over deliver is to look the site over for free downloads of reports, courses, articles or other related information that would be valuable to you. The company that gives out a lot up front will be much more likely to give you more for your money.

The top sites can be found by doing a search exactly as follows with the quotes: “consultant internet marketing strategy”.

Case Study
Brand-Aid: Building A Macro Case For Micro-Sites

HISTORY
d/a interactive is the new media division of Dascal & Associates,Guest Posting a cross media company providing integrated strategic marketing, graphic design and new media services. d/a interactive has worked with many multi-national companies to help them leverage their brands online. Understanding that the internet provides much more than a supportive role in a marketing strategy, d/a interactive has been working with top-tier brands in the development of micro-sites to help launch new products into the marketplace. Most recently, d/a interactive was retained by Johnson & Johnson to create a micro-site surrounding the Canadian product launch of Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage.

Johnson & Johnson is the leader in the adhesive brand category. The Band-Aid brand continuously brings innovation to the marketplace. In February 2003, Band-Aid once again revolutionized the adhesive bandage category with a liquid bandage. Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage promotes fast healing on contact by forming an invisible, flexible and one hundred percent waterproof seal that is breathable and stays on hard to cover affected areas.

CHALLENGE
• Creation of a consumer-centric micro-site
• Creation of Content Management System (CMS) technology that allows Johnson & Johnson to edit certain aspects of the site
• The longstanding Band-Aid brand has a traditional integrity. The look and feel needed to be upheld in the online environment
• Needed to provide Johnson & Johnson with statistical information about traffic and usage of the micro-site

“We were looking to use the micro-site to create excitement,” says Morris Dascal, President of d/a interactive, on their mandate from Johnson & Johnson. “Micro-sites are a relatively new way for companies to launch a product without revamping their entire website and also a great way to isolate a user and maintain their attention on one product.”

“In addition,” says Dascal, “we were using a non-traditional buzz for a new and non-traditional product. The new Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage is a more expensive product, and Johnson and Johnson was looking at integrating an online marketing campaign that included email marketing, banners and this micro-site in conjunction with offline marketing and public relations initiatives. We needed to build a site that was brand specific.”

IMPLEMENTATION/INTEGRATION
d/a interactive set-up a distinct website and URL for Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage at www.band-aid.ca.
The core design component was to maintain the color, consistency, visuals and images typically associated with the Band-Aid brand.

After storyboarding the concept for this micro-site and the virtual demonstration (which would enable consumers to see how the product works from the comfort of their own home), d/a interactive designed, produced and implemented the site. All visuals, content and promotional areas were presented and approved in conjunction with Johnson & Johnson to ensure that the online promotion matched their offline strategy.

“There were three main areas that we focused on to implement and integrate this micro-site,” says Dascal. “First, we had to ensure that the front-end was visually appealing, matched the Band-Aid brand in terms of integrity and was easy to use and navigate. Second, we implemented a Content Management System (CMS) in the back-end, so the staff at Johnson & Johnson could have access to certain content areas for updating and editing purposes. Finally, we needed to focus on the calls to action and promotions that would drive this micro-site to be a successful part of the Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage launch in Canada.”

SOLUTION
With the launch of the Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage Micro-Site, d/a Interactive:
• Created a micro-site that was robust in terms of design, functionality and usability
• Spoke directly to consumers and informed them through a virtual demonstration, promotions and online couponing
• Deployed an online marketing campaign using existing and targeted consumer portals to send emails regarding the launch (sites included Reader’s Digest and Chatelaine Magazine)
• Catered to the mass market, including everyone from parents to retailers
• Developed and deployed a thematic promotion that involved a grand prize trip for a culinary experience in Provence, France
• Executed the value of Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage as being worth the cost of the product
• Positioned of Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage as a “hot ticket”
• Deployed a viral coupon component where users could “pass on the savings” via a send-to-a-friend function to try Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage
• Created the “Ask Band-Aid” area of the micro-site as a forum to position Band-Aid as experts in care, sanitation and recovery from the cuts and bumps from daily life

“Putting the pieces together to create a viable solution for Band-Aid was based around our vision of using their product launch marketing strategy integrated with this ‘stand alone’ micro-site to build brand equity and create product visibility,” says Dascal.

“The results we anticipated after creating the site were strong micro-site traffic urging consumers to go out and purchase the product at the retail level.”

CONCLUSION
“The use of micro-sites for the launch of any brand or service is innovative,” insists Dascal. “Band-Aid managed to keep marketing dollars relatively low with the ability to reach a large crowd. We’re seeing many companies, from small to large, using the internet from the initial strategic planning phase as a core element to their integrated marketing programs. Companies that focus on strong branding understand how much technology and tools like a micro-site allows them to keep budgets pragmatic with high-end results.”

Dascal continues: “Consumers were able to educate themselves regarding the unique product benefits of Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage which led to general trials and, hopefully, repeat purchases. The micro-site also enabled Johnson & Johnson to gather consumer information through the online promotions and offer an accessible channel for Band-Aid to speak directly with their consumers.”

“The success of the Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage micro-site was, in large part, due to Johnson & Johnson’s dedication to ensuring a successful campaign,” says Dascal. “This included excellent lines of communications between d/a interactive and Johnson & Johnson, a strong working relationship with the entire team that was involved in this launch, and everyone’s enthusiasm to use contests and promotions coupled with strong and relevant content to make the micro-site have inherent value.”

FUTURE
“We are now in discussions with Johnson & Johnson about building a full-fledged Band-Aid product information website that will reflect their brand and entire line of products,” concludes Dascal.

“We’re also seeing a lot of other clients interested in building micro-sites for product launches and to test the waters of micros-sites prior to committing to a robust website.

The Band-Aid Brand Liquid Bandage micro-site proved that packaged goods companies can use the internet to establish their brand both online and offline. We’re seeing clients from all sectors of industry now looking at micro-sites to deliver precise, informative and influential information coupled with intelligent calls to action and incentives.”

You would need branding as it is the most important aspect which you can use to gain profit.

It does not matter what type of business you are into.You must know that brand promotion is more than just social media updates. Startups usually don’t think past Facebook pages and Twitter handle. However,Guest Posting branding is more than that. With an effective strategy you can get a major push in this cutthroat market.

Branding Decoded

Before discussing effective branding strategy, it is important to talk about what branding is. An experienced brand marketing company can give you the desired result. However, you need to know what branding is and what it can do for you. If you go through text books, you will come across various types of definition of branding. However, if you want to get a simple definition, it would be – your brand tells your story. Once you have launched your brand, the customers will know what they can expect from your company or from you. This is a promise that you make.

To Launch a Brand

This is something everyone should know about. To launch a brand you need various tools. These tools give you the brand identity. Your website is the most important part of your brand. Without a website you cannot launch a brand. Another important tool is the logo. This is the face which your clients will remember. To create these tools you need a web design company that has been in the business for a long time.

Strategy to Remember

Once you have the logo, the website and the desire to start over, you need to have a team of experts by your side. If you want to create a successful brand, you must hire people who know the pros and cons of branding. Commitment is an important factor. Anyone who wants to get something out of the branding strategy needs to commit. Creating a Facebook page is easy. But, sticking to it is the difficult job. What you need to do is find people who are into branding and promotion. They will do the job for you.

Successful Branding

It is nothing but promoting yourself. What you are, what you can do and what is your strength are the important factors here. However, before you begin with the promotion, you need to decide something. You must decide to be consistent. Without consistency you will not be able to keep your clients. Once you have built your brand value, you are expected to deliver what you have promised. For this reason, you need to have your strength and weakness well defined. Your brand value should suit your customer requirement. Before anything you need to know what your clients want from you. What are their desires? Why they make purchase? These are the questions you need to ask.

The Defining Factor

To have a successful brand you need to define it properly. Before anything you must let your customers know what the mission of the company is. You also need to define what the vision of the brand is. Features of the brand are also important. You need to let your clients know what they would get from using your brand. Benefits are important. Remember that it is benefit which attracts people to a brand. If you don’t have anything to offer people would not buy it.

Some Important Pointers

First you need to hire a brand marketing company to create a well defined logo. Once this is done you would need a blog. This blog will help you create a voice for your brand. Remember that it is the voice which attracts people to a brand. They don’t bond with the polished advertisements. They bond with the stories that a brand offers. At the time of the launch create this story. It will give people a reason to bond with you.

Logo, templates and taglines are the tools. These help you to build your brand. However, to make people come back to you for more, you need to offer them much more. You must offer them an assurance. You must assure them that you will offer quality and being attached to you will be beneficial to them. Without assistance of a branding company, you will not be able to accomplish the real objective of a brand launch.
