A phone call came to me today asking me if I had decided
to represent a new company. I was a little taken aback to say the least!
Why is it that people jump to conclusions so quickly?
I believe that marketing online is not all about me. Too
many people can only think about themselves and getting business for
themselves. They have a challenge getting their minds around perhaps thinking
of helping someone else with their business.
If we are in business, we are in sales and marketing. If
we want people to come to us for business, we need to be open to referring
possible clients/customers to our competition on occasion.
If I cannot give my clients all the things they need, I
refer them to someone I know who can provide that and do a great job for them.
So, as the Marketing Mentress, I help lots of other
businesses market themselves and sell their products. I share the great
messages that come through my home feed if I think that they are something that
can help someone in my network.
It can be toothpaste or senior care products...whatever
will help my fellow connections. If I cannot provide it, I will refer, or if it
is someone I know, I will share their products or service with my network. After
all, I have a fair sized network and am happy to help in any way I can.
I learned a long time ago that being online is not all
about me and my own business.
The more people I can help get what they want, the more I
will have come back to me in the long run. This principle has been proven time
and time again through history. Every time customers were referred to the
competition, the customers came back to the original company because they were
so pleased that they were referred to someone who could help them.
As the Marketing Mentress, I help businesses in any way I
can because it is not all about me.
How may I help you in some way, either myself or through
my network?
For example, here is a company that is targeting the
boomers with products and services that
will save lives.

I understand and agree. Companies need to follow Richard Branson's lead. Engaging and meaningful information to engage with people beyond the information about the company and its products- Bernadette Geronazzo - Director of Public Relations for Blackline Safety
