What Went Wrong? October 07, 2006 |
| Hi
If You Are Like Most Business
Owners I know…
You Got into Your Own Business Because You
Want
the Good Life. You got into Business for Yourself
Because You Want…
Ø Control
over your own Destiny
Ø Unlimited
Earning Potential
Ø Freedom
to Determine your own Schedule
Ø The
Resources to put your Children through the Most Prestigious Schools &
Universities
Ø Freedom
to Live the Life You Have Always Wanted and Enjoy Fantastic Vacations Several
Times a Year
Ø The
Money to have that Special Vacation Home
Ø The
Power to be able to Retire and Live a Life of Luxury
But…
If you’re like most business owners I
know, it hasn’t
really been working out that way, has it?
·
Why does it feel like
the business is controlling YOU, instead of the other way around?
·
Why does it have to be
so HARD… so TIME CONSUMING… so NERVE WRACKING… so OUT OF CONTROL?
If
your business is not “paying off” the way you would like… the way you expected
it to when you got into it, there is probably a good reason.
Most importantly, though, there
is a solution. A real solution and a faster solution
than you may have ever believed possible.
Dear
,
Hi. I’m Joe Nicassio, and if you’re like
most business owners I know, you’re pretty good at providing the products and
services you offer and you’re probably pretty good at managing your people,
your customers, your suppliers. You
may even be a pretty good financial head.
So why, with all of that going for you,
is the BUSINESS not “going for you?”
Let me guess…
You,
like so many other business owners, are simply struggling with the marketing piece. You may feel like you’re the Lone
Ranger all by yourself. Marketing,
Advertising & Sales are the toughest, most mysterious, scariest parts of being in business for just about every
entrepreneur.
Trouble is, the media and the advertising agencies out
there have a vested interest in keeping you ignorant and uncomfortable with
marketing. As long as …
·
you don’t understand it,
·
as long as you think
it’s some magical, mystical, “creative” apparition, and
·
as long as they can keep
you feeling inadequate…
….they can keep control of
you and your marketing budget,
instead of YOU being in control of your budget and your business.
Have you ever felt like – “I think
about half of my marketing is working.
The problem is, I don’t know which half.”
That’s the way they want you to think… because then you’ll be afraid to
stop doing anything, for fear you’ll pull the plug on the one thing that is working.
So you keep pouring money down the “marketing rat hole”, never really
knowing what works, what doesn’t, what to stop or what to start.
Now… you may,
understandably, be saying to yourself, “Sure buddy, and I suppose you’re
going to save me from those evil ad agencies and media sales reps. I’ve gone to all kinds of seminars,
workshops and boot-camps, and I still don’t get it. Nothing has worked, so I’m not going to believe
you’re any better or that the results of working with you are going to be any
different.”
Fair enough. I don’t blame you for your skepticism. But I can tell you this…
I’ve
got a program to help you solve these marketing, advertising and sales
problems for the rest of your life.
I’ve
got the ONLY business
building program focused specifically on helping you get more customers
who will pay you more money, more often™, the fastest, easiest, most cost effective ways possible …
Backed by a 400% Return On Investment (ROI) GUARANTEE.
NO JOKE, NO B.S., NO TEASE, NO SMOKE AND
MIRRORS
My
program is called The Principle-Centered Marketing Coaching™ Program and my previously unheard of 400% ROI Guarantee comes
down to this…
“As long as you complete the program and
make a good-faith effort to implement what I give you, if at the end of 1 year,
you can’t point to MEASURABLE revenue DIRECTLY from the your
efforts of at least 4 TIMES what you paid for the program, you
may request and receive a full refund of the program tuition.”
Let
me ask you something. Has anyone, ever, offered such a guarantee to you when it had anything to do with your
business… much less something that is supposed to be as elusive as marketing?
AND,
when you place an ad in the newspaper, radio, TV or in any other medium, what guarantee do they
give you? If it doesn’t work for
you, what do you get? (Probably
the argument that you have to do more of it to make it work, right?)
Yet,
when you sell your product or service, if something goes wrong and you
have an unhappy buyer, what do you
have to do. Yeah! Make it right,
right?
Why
don’t the advertising people have to do that for you? Why aren’t you insisting
on it? Why is marketing the only business in
the world – outside of government – where they don’t have to
deliver the goods?
Maybe
you’ve been to some expensive sales and marketing training “gurus” hoping to beat
these advertising guys at their expensive game. The names abound.
Kennedy, Godin, Trout and Reis, Allen, Abraham, Halbert, Gleek, Anton,
Antion and the list goes on and on and on.
What
guarantee do these gurus offer?
Because as good as
those gurus are – and they are very, very good (I know, because I’ve
trained with many of them myself) – they are only giving you 20 to 40
percent of the solution required to get you to the bottom line results you want.
We have taken over 400 businesses through my program. Every last one of them has had the 400%
ROI Guarantee and We
have never had
to refund one thin dime, a plugged nickel or a red cent.
Because mine is the ONLY program that offers you the Complete
Solution! The only program that offers you…
The 5 “U-Needs,”
Why This Program
Succeeds Where Books, Tapes, College classes, Seminars, Workshops &
Boot-camps Fail
Less
than 10% of the books that get bought, get read. Implementation rates among people who listen to tapes and go
to events ranges from 1.4 to 8.4 percent.
Why such a pitiful track record?
Because
these methods of training are simply incomplete. They only
give you some of the key elements of
the solution you must have to assimilate new knowledge and convert it into
meaningful, effective action.
If you are to succeed at the highest levels, you need
these 5 key elements…
1. The “What To Dos” – You simply Must know What To Do.
2. The “How To Do Its” – How
you do the what’s can have an
exponential impact on the results you get. A 2-word change in a headline, for example, can increase you
response to an ad, by 1,000%. (Yes,
this is a real, live example from my own experience.)
3. The Resources to “Get It Done” – nobody can do it all alone, unless you are a
sales, marketing, copywriting, testing, tracking, etc. expert. Otherwise, you need additional resources. But it’s tough to get them from books,
tapes and events alone.
4. The Feedback
to make sure you “Do It Right” – The biggest reason people don’t take
action following reading books, listening to tapes or attending events is fear
of failure; fear of doing it wrong.
Feedback gives you the confidence to know you’re doing it right.
5. The Accountability to make sure you “Actually Do It” – Somebody
has to hold your feet to the fire.
Somebody has to consistently hold you accountable to make sure you do
what you know you should, in a timely fashion.
Books,
tapes and events – no matter how brilliant the guru – will only give
you the What to dos and maybe some of the How to do its. But that’s it.
Only an on-going Coaching process, like the Principle
Centered Marketing Program, which takes you by the hand and guides you through the
development of new, immediately applicable knowledge, skills, habits and
systems, can give you the bottom line results you want.
You
can surely see, can’t you, that an on-going coaching program like this one is
the most effective and efficient way to gain these vital business assets?
IT WORKS FOR TOP ATHLETES…
WHY NOT TOP ENTREPRENEURS LIKE YOU
Name
any top professional athlete. Every
one of them has a Coach. Most have
more than one.
“Yeah,
Joe. But I’m not a top athlete. I’m just an ordinary business owner.”
Okay,
look at ordinary athletes. Every
single one of them has at least one coach and probably more. From little league through the pros.
And
here you are, trying to compete in the “arena of commerce”, and trying to do it
all on your own. Isn’t there
something wrong with this picture?
A
coach is both your best friend… and your worst nightmare. A coach teaches you the fundamentals… the strategies… the
techniques you need to succeed. That’s
what makes your coach a best friend.
Then a coach makes you work… makes you practice… gives you feedback
on what you’re doing well and what you can improve upon. A coach helps you develop your skills…
and here’s where the nightmare part comes in… holds you ACCOUNTABLE.
A coach makes you DO IT, even when you don’t want to.
Your
Principle-Centered Marketing Program Coach will do the same for the marketing of your business. And by the time you’ve completed
your coaching program you’ll have developed the same kinds of feelings for your
Marketing Coach as
you’ve experienced for your favorite coaches and mentors you’ve had in
athletics and other aspects of your life.
This is no instant “magic pill” or “silver bullet”
But
there really is such a thing. You
didn’t get it from the other gurus.
You can’t find it in a book or at a seminar or in college or at a
week-long boot-camp.
And the Principle-Centered Marketing Coaching
Program is definitely
NOT a silver bullet or a magic pill that gives you everything overnight.
If you’re looking for any program to do
that for you, you’ll be sadly disappointed. Then what is the magic pill? What
is the silver bullet…
YOU ARE!!!
Now,
given your experience in the past, you may find that hard to believe. But it’s true. Nobody knows your business, your
culture, your product, your priorities, like you.
All
you need are the habits, the systems, the marketing-specific know-how, the
strategies and tactics to bring out the
marketing genius inside of you…
And
only a COACHING system, like the Principle-Centered
Marketing Coaching Program can
give you all of the “missing pieces” of the puzzle.
Still…
I’m not saying this program is right for you, yet… Only
when the student is ready, can the teacher appear!
1. Are you willing
to open your mind and test new
concepts?
2. Are
you committed to growing your
business and having greater bottom line profits?
3. Are
you willing to be “coached” and finally implement your Coach’s directions for you?
If
you answered yes to all three of these questions, The Principle-Centered
Marketing Coaching Program may be for you if…
1. You seriously want to grow your business as quickly as
possible
2. You realize that marketing is the engine that
drives your business and that you
MUST master marketing if you are ever going to maximize your success,
and
3. You want personal, confident control over your marketing, your business, and your success,
whether you are doing the day-to-day marketing work yourself or are delegating
it to someone else.
Having
said that, this program still may NOT be for you.
You
see this is a kick-butt program that will challenge you for the next 4 to 6
months. It’ll take an hour a day. So, if that sounds like too much for
you, this program probably isn’t for you.
Again,
this is the most successful marketing training program on the planet that I am
aware of. And, hundreds of
business owners just like you have benefited tremendously from their participation
in this program.
Some
have turned losing businesses around in short order. Others have gone from successful to super-successful. Some have grown as much as 300% in a
few short months. For others the
growth has been more modest, but still very gratifying and rewarding.
If
you want it bad enough… if you’re willing to invest your time… this will
be the most valuable business education you have ever experienced.
The Principle-Centered Marketing Coaching Program is all about helping you…
Get More Customers Who Will Pay You More Money, More Often™
the fastest, easiest, most cost effective ways possible.
This sounds simple
enough, but how are you going to do it?
Through
the Principle-Centered Marketing Coaching Program you will develop essential marketing “know how”, skills and habits and
use them to install profit-proven, reliable and repeatable marketing
principles, plans, strategies and systems, in your business.
You
do this through an intensive, interactive, 4 to 6-month Coaching process,
meeting regularly with your Licensed, Certified Coach and spending time daily,
fulfilling the tasks assigned by your Coach
By the time you have
completed this program you will have…
·
a new outlook on
marketing that will literally change your business, and your life, forever
·
acquired new habits
that empower you to consistently work ON your business, rather than always
being caught in the trap of merely working IN your business.
·
developed new marketing
skills which will give you confidence in your marketing decisions and eliminate
marketing worries, waste, and guesswork
·
a comprehensive
MARKETING PLAN worth thousands of dollars, including budget and calendar of
events to achieve your goals for the foreseeable future. The only marketing plan that addresses
all 3 ways to grow your business – more customers; more money; more often
·
proven systems you can
set on “AUTO-PILOT TO SUCCESS;” systems for bringing in more customers, getting
them to buy more from you in each purchase, and getting them to happily and
gratefully buy from you, again and again and again.
·
the ability to
“GENETICALLY ENGINEER” your marketing for ever-improving results…
ever-increasing success.
·
the knowledge and POWER
to do it yourself, or to accurately evaluate the value of the marketing
projects you delegate to others
Bottom line? You can look forward to…
•
more fun and satisfaction in your business
•
never again suffering the frustration of competing on price
• leaving your competition in distant clouds of dust,
as your “sales curve” rockets upward
• saving time and money in your marketing efforts
Most
of all…
You’ll never be afraid of marketing
and advertising again,
as you enjoy the ultimate control
over your business destiny.
…
And let’s not forget all the benefits that come with more sales, more profits,
and more personal income!
THE PRINCIPLE-CENTERED COACHING
PROCESS
(How Your Program Works)
The Principle-Centered
Marketing Coaching Program is the
most comprehensive instructive marketing program ever devised. Far more than a weekly “cheerleading”
call, this content-rich program is tantamount to a Master’s Degree program
in marketing.
In
fact, it is far more than that… more meaningful, more directly applicable to
your business, more tailored to your specific needs, more adaptable to the
results you generate, more timeless in its usefulness… because it is Principle-Centered.
Here is the
process you’ll experience in building your marketing skills and systems…
1. You’ll receive a 253 page, 25 chapter manual,
supplementary materials, forms and templates, software, and a set of 16 audio
sessions, all to be used as assignment material during the course of the 4 to
6-month program.
2. You’ll complete and submit a comprehensive Marketing
Needs Analysis, designed to take a
“snapshot” of your marketing efforts currently and in the past, along with
assessing your current level of marketing skill. Along with your Marketing Needs Analysis, you’ll also submit
samples of your current and past marketing efforts to your Licensed, Certified
Coach.
3. You’ll engage in an initial telephone conference,
during which you and your Certified Coach will review your Needs Analysis for
details, added insights, etc.
4. During that call, you and your Coach will establish a
time for a regularly scheduled telephone appointment. These appointments typically last from 40 to 50 minutes,
although occasionally, you may have a longer, or even a shorter call. Also, during that initial call, your Coach will provide you
with your first assignments.
5. You are responsible for completing your marketing
assignments for each session and forwarding them to your Coach at least 24
hours prior to your regularly scheduled phone conference. You should plan on spending an average
of 60 minutes per working day on your marketing efforts. (Of course, you can cram, but that will
defeat one of the major benefits of the program… building the HABITS associated
with working ON your business, instead of IN your business.)
6. Your session assignments will consist of reading,
listening and other specific activities and exercises, all practical, useful
and directly applicable to your business.
7. You’ll have Ascend Marketing’s collection of resources
at your disposal, including turnkey marketing systems, promotions and
programs. You will also have creative
personnel, design and production capabilities, all available to you at deep
discounts. Some may even be FREE!
The
point is, this program is customized for, and responsive to, your specific needs.

YOUR
PRINCIPLE-CENTERED COACH
All
coaches associated with the Principle-Centered Marketing Coaching Program are marketing professionals in their own right.
Each
coach embraces and has been extensively trained in the Principle-Centered approach to marketing and related strategies,
techniques and technologies.
Each
coach has met the strict Licensing and Certification requirements set forth by
Ascend Marketing, Inc.
IF WE ACCEPT YOU INTO
THIS PROGRAM, WE WILL LET YOU TRY IT ON FOR SIZE WITH …
1. A RISK FREE TRIAL AND
2. A 400% ROI GUARANTEE
First,
we will invite you to enroll in the program and experience it for
yourself through your first two sessions, RISK FREE.
This
will allow you to see if you like the process and the assignments, as well as,
the feedback. You will be able to
determine if you can get real value in that short a time. Then, if you decide the coaching
program is not right for you, you may withdraw and receive a full refund of any
funds you committed.
Second,
when you decide to complete the entire program after your first two
sessions we assure you that your investment is still RISK FREE…
You
will be able to apply the principles, concepts, strategies, techniques and
systems we help you discover and implement for a full year. If by the end of that time, you have
not generated new, measurable revenues directly from your efforts, amounting to
at least four times your
investment in the program, you may, at your discretion, request and receive a
full refund, and keep all program materials.
I
know both of these 2 guarantees are bold, and there is only one reason we can
make such a strong promise…
The
program simply works! We have worked
with manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, service companies, professionals
and e-commerce companies. All have been given this remarkable
guarantee. We have never had to
refund a thin dime, a plugged nickel, or a red cent.
BUT WILL IT WORK FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
Perhaps
the most common concern among prospective Coaching Clients like you is… “Yeah,
but will it work for me?”
Of
course, nothing in life is certain.
That’s why you enjoy the protection of the 400% Return on
Investment Guarantee.
I
can say this….
We
have had clients from New York to Hawaii, and from Alaska and Canada to the tip
of Florida. We’ve worked in dozens of industries. Here are just a few….
Realtors Piano
& Music Store Bird
Seed Retailer
Jewelers Mattress
& Appliance Retail Rock

Health Retailers Clothing

Carpet Cleaners Network
Marketers Long
Distance Telephone Company
A Fertility Doctor Plumbing

Educational Toy Store Window & Siding Contractor Vending
Machine Manufacturer
But
you don’t have to “JUST” take my word for it…
HERE’S WHAT JUST A FEW OF OUR CLIENTS HAVE
TO SAY…
“I sent a letter to my
customers for an annual private sale.
I applied some of the things I learned. The results were stunning! We had a 129% increase. Within two weeks the profit from this
one event paid for the coaching program 5 times over.”
Kent Monsen, President
Monsen Brothers Appliance
“If you want your business to
experience immediate, dramatic growth, you owe it to yourself to enroll in
Ascend’s Principle-Centered Marketing Coaching program.”
Dave Tippets, President
Paymaster Employee Leasing
“Sales are up 40% over last
year and I attribute at least half of that to the coaching program. I highly recommend the coaching program
to any business who wants to increase sales. It has caused me to build the habit of working ON my
business, instead of just in it. It’s
how you’ve taught me to think, and the marketing habits you’ve helped me to
build, that are the greatest achievements of the program.”
Travis Mitchell, GM
Keith Jorgensen’s Music Center
“I doubled my business in six
months. How did I do it? It was amazingly easy. The first week I implemented just one
of the marketing techniques I learned.
Suddenly I was able to go from spending hours chasing down one potential
prospect at his office, to having six or eight prospects meet me at my office
and be glad they came. I never
realized business could be done this way.
What a refreshing change! And I didn’t have to spend a single additional
advertising dollar.”
Murray Blake
Blake & Company Insurance & Investments
“We feel that two of the
ideas we got in the first session alone… creating a ‘senior’s’ division and the
graduated referral program… make the entire coaching program worth the
investment. Just wanted to let you
know we feel like we’ve started off with a bang and will reap many benefits
from this.”
Marv & Pam Kombrink, REALTORS®
RE/MAX Excels
“Through the coaching program
I redesigned our literature to tell our story in terms of customer benefits. Because of the compelling offers you
helped us develop and the ability to sell from the customer’s point of view,
sales are up 25% (200% in one month alone) and we’ve cut marketing expenses by
40%. Who wouldn’t feel
appreciative if sales were up, overhead was down, and new doors were opening
all the time? Heartfelt thanks to
you
from Bob and me!
Sue Scarr, VP Marketing
VSM Marketing Manufacturer of Fast -Aid™ Medical Centers
“The best I could ever muster
for the month of July was $19,000… until I enrolled in your Coaching program. Using the promotional principles and
strategies you taught me, I did a private sale and in two days and two hours, I
generated $22,000.00 worth of sales.
By the time July was over,
I came up just $23 short of having a $60,000.00 month! That’s better than three
Julys… and it didn’t cost me an extra dime in marketing or margins.”
Frank Coppin, President
Coppin’s Hallmark
Now,
I don’t know if you are right for this program. You already know you’re going to have to commit an hour a
day. Now you probably want to know
how much money we’re asking you to invest.
Now, what’s my required investment if I
move forward?
$7,200.00…
which means you MUST GENERATE A MINIMUM OF $28,800.00, or you may
request a refund in accordance with the four times your money back
guarantee. (Truth is, it is
almost certain it will generate far more than that during the guarantee period,
and hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, throughout the rest of your
career.)
1. Yes,
you can get a discount when you pay in full, in advance. You can take $600.00 off and pay
only $6600.
2. Yes,
you can pay the $7200 in 4 monthly installments of $1800. We will remove any service charges so
you only pay the $7200.
3. Or
you can pay 12 modest monthly payments of $672 which includes a meager 1% per
month service fee.
So it’s decision time for you. The decision is not whether you’ll enroll in the program just yet,
but whether you’re willing to further explore the possibility, to see if
we’re right for you and for us to see if you’re right for us. We only have a
limited number of coaching spots currently available, so…
Call or email me immediately…
Just
email your contact information to joe@rapidresultsmarketing.com and/or call my office at 562-961-3976 to schedule a telephone appointment within the next 2 weeks so you don’t miss this
amazing opportunity.
Success,
Joe Nicassio

PS. Don’t forget, I dare you to find anyone
else who will back up their marketing and advertising program with a 400% ROI
Guarantee. But, as good as it is,
this marketing program can only work if you’re willing to do it. Remember what the wise man said…
“If you always do what you’ve always
done,
you’ll always get what you’ve always
got.”
Haven’t
you spent enough time lamenting how it isn’t what it should be in your business? Isn’t it time to try something
different – especially when you have virtually NO RISK? Isn’t it time to make your business all
you know it can be… and perhaps more?
For
the fastest results call 1-562-961-3976 to set up your
FREE consultation immediately.
P.P.S. When
you call and enroll, I’ll send you a copy of our new book, The

you need the book even more.)
Either
way, you have nothing to lose when you make the call. Worst case scenario, you’re out a few
minutes of your time and you get the FREE book.
