The marketing power of ten percent!

Updated November 2012

By Jim Connolly | August 26, 2010

If you want to massively increase the number of new clients you attract or the number of sales you make, I would like to introduce you to something I share with my clients.  It’s all about the Power of Ten Percent.

Here are 3 things I would like you to consider for a moment:

  • If you were just 10% more effective at copy writing, how many more sales leads or enquiries would you have gained over the past 12 months?
  • If you were just 10% more effective at negotiating, how many more deals would you have clinched over the past 12 months?
  • If you were just 10% more effective at managing your time, how many additional working days would you have gained over the past 12 months?

Now, imagine you combined all these, so that you had:

  • 10% more working hours – That’s an extra 26 working days or 5 working weeks added to your year!
  • 10% more leads – That’s 10% more leads than you had before you added all those extra working weeks to your year!
  • and you were 10% better at converting all those new leads into clients / sales!

It’s entirely possible you could be several hundred percent or MORE than you earn today!

Those individual 10% improvements are easy for anyone to make, with the correct marketing support.  However, when you leverage all those 10%’s together, you end up with a magical, compound effect; where those relatively minor improvements completely transform your results (and your life!)

One of the major differences between the small businesses that slowly go broke and those that achieve great success, as that the underachievers are always searching for that one nugget of information that will transform their results.  They waste years scouring the Internet for a silver bullet that doesn’t exist.  Conversely, professionally marketed small businesses learn how to generate life changing results, by simply making minimal adjustments.

Learn how to generate those 10%’s from someone who knows, and then watch what happens.  That’s where the real magic is!
