Changing Your StrategyPosted by: Michael Port
|
Join Michael in a call influenced by a short story sent to him by his dad, which was written by one of his colleagues. "One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet and a sign that read: 'I am blind, please help.' Listen in to learn how to assess whether or not your current strategy is right (and working) or whether it's time for a change.
A marketer was walking by and stopped to observe. He saw that the blind man had only a few coins in his hat. He dropped in more coins and, without asking for permission, took the sign and rewrote it.
He returned the sign to the blind man and left. That afternoon the marketer returned to the blind man and noticed that his hat was full of bills and coins.
The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was he who had rewritten his sign and wanted to know what he had written on it.
The marketer responded: "Nothing that was not true. I just wrote the message a little differently." He smiled and went on his way.
The new sign read: Today is Spring and I cannot see it.
Sometimes we need to change our strategy. If we always do what we've always done, we'll always get what we've always gotten."Click here to download the Think Big Revolution call for Monday June 9, 2008

Not to mention, you have an opportunity to be relevant and share your knowledge and resources with them as well. But, reaching out to high-profile experts is not something you do without planning and a little skill.

- Jumpstart relationships with high-profile experts

How NOT to do Direct OutreachPosted by: Michael Port
|
I received a well written (except for a spelling mistake but I have no use for a man who can only spell a word one way anyway) and respectful email today from a man I didn't know and wasn't familiar with. Here's the email with some sections blocked out to protect the innocent:
Dear Michael,
I would like to kindly request a testimonial from your good self for one of my products that I shall be launching very soon. I would sincerely appreciate if you could provide a line or two along with your photo, your website link and a one line bio.
The product is a subscription/newsletter that is focused on personal and business development in this new era of globalisation. It will be marketed under Name of Company with this website: www.mywebsite.com.
I will greatly be honoured if you could consider providing me with a testimonial as mentioned above and send it to myname@mydomain.com.
I shall look forward to your reply with great anticipation.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
Peter (named changed)
What's wrong with this type of Direct Outreach? What did Peter do wrong? What should have Peter have done to achieve his goal? I've been talking about this for so long I'm asking you because I want to see if anyone is actually listening :)
Much love to you this fine day. Keep on doing big things in the world!
