Blog For Marketing By Michael Senoff

Sometimes I need to be reminded to have a little more fun.

And that’s why I painted the words “Fun Dad” on the inside of my
favorite oatmeal bowl.

You can see the photo of my oatmeal bowl at the link below.

And when you eat something as boring as oatmeal, you need a
reminder to have more fun.

So this morning I’m going to print out three fun jokes and hide
them in my kid’s lunch pail.

So today they’ll see them and maybe share them with their friends
at school.

You know..have a little fun with them.

And all this fun reminds me of one of the funest interviews I
have ever done.

It’s with a guy named Mike Samonek.

His a big time self publisher and he sells fun.

And when Mike Samonek came up with his fun cookbook that combined
food with special effects (and included a recipe for eating your
own face), he didn’t even think about going to a publisher with it.

He wanted to maintain complete control of the book, the marketing
and the profits.

So he went the self-publishing route – and sold 500,000 copies by
marketing them himself!

And in this audio, you’ll hear exactly how this self-made
mill-io-are did it, along with some tips and tricks on how you can
do it too.

Have fun with this interview.

You can play it now..

PS. If you have kids, tell me something fun.

Replay to this e-mail and in all CAPS write “FUN DAD” or if you are
a mom write “FUN MOM”

If you do, I’ll send you the jokes I put in my kids lunch today.

Here’s a cool link to a video of the World’s Shortest Escalator.

The world’s shortest escalator is in the Kawasaki More’s department
store in Japan.

It has even been certified as having the shortest vertical height
of only 834mm….

Take a look now and then come back to this e-mail.

Now here’s an interview I did with the World’s #1 HMA
Marketing Consultant.

His name is David Flannery..
 
David is from Ireland and he is only 37.
 
David graduated with an MBA at the top of his class
and has fifteen clients willing to pay close to $20,000
each for his consulting services.
 
What separates him for you?
 
You’re about to find out in this interview.
 
This interview is about how David
got his first 25 appointments for his HMA consulting practice.

I have done a total of six interviews with Dave so far.
 
To hear and play the first full interview go to

http://www.hardtofindseminars.com/AudioclipsH.htm

Scroll down and look for the headline that says..He Wants To Be
The World’s Number One HMA Consultant…

Or you can count down four from the top.

It’s not how long it takes you to get to where you want to
go in your consulting practice, it’s HOW you get there.

And with the proper training and learning from others who have made
the trip before you it can be as easy as stepping on and off the
world’s shortest escalator.

Here’s an important e-mail I got today from James Dutton that I
think you should at least skim over.

You can listen at this link below if you are short on time.

Hi Michael,

In November of 2008, I was invited to the Regional Corporate Office
by my District Manager.

I was working as a General Manager for a popular fitness chain.  I
won’t say which chain but, I will tell you they are open 24 hours a
day. 

I was earning a strong base salary due to my past performance and
achievements.  I had been given awards and won several sales
contest prior to being promoted to General Manager. 

That day I met with my District Manager and Regional VP to find out
that I was being let go. 

I was looking up videos on YouTube about marketing when I came
across your site.

As I was listening and searching through the information I came
across the HMA recordings. 

I really never thought of becoming a consultant and helping other
business owners.

Keep in mind I didn’t need to just convince myself that this could
work… I had to convince my wife! 

I was newly married for only 4 months when I lost my high salary
position.

On Tuesday, November 25th I called your number from your email. 

I was shocked I actually got your voice mail and not some
“please-press-one” automated operator. 

Then I was even more surprised when you actually called me back
very quickly. 

When I spoke with you on the phone you suggested I spend some more
time on the website learning and listening to all the information.

(Here is the link I sent James to)

http://www.hardtofindseminars.com/AudioclipsH.htm

I took your advice and as I did I got more and more confidence that
this could work.
 
I took the information I had learned and began to apply it.

I went to your website and downloaded the Opportunity Analysis
Worksheet and listen to your training. 
 
After listening to more of your interviews with Richard and other
HMA consultants I came up with a new marketing plan. 

A smaller area Chamber of Commerce was having an award ceremony
coming up in January. 

As part of their once a year Gala they also have an auction to
raise money. 

I gave the chamber 5 certificates for the Opportunity Analysis
which is up to 2 hours of marketing consulting and gave it a value
of $500. 

The chamber was very thankful and even sent me a receipt for my
donation.

I got a call from one of the recipients who set an appointment so I
could come to their business and go through the Opportunity
Analysis. 

They were very pleased and had lots of Assets to Optimize! 

I offered them 1 phase at $1,795 or 2 at $2,995  and The Core 4 at
$4,995. 

They wanted The Core 4. 

I then set up the next appointment and told them what I needed them
to bring to the next meeting, just like Richard said.

I picked up my check for $4995 and began working with the client.

In challenging times it is great to have such a powerful
opportunity… Thanks A Million!

Sincerely,

W. James Dutton

P. S.  You might have noticed I put the package on my wife’s credit
card because she’s so excited and she wants to earn the points! 

I have attached to this email the certificate I used with
the Chamber of Commerce.

————-

PS. I you would like me to e-mail you the certificate James used
for the auction that got his first $4995 client, reply to this
e-mail and in the subject line in all CAPS type out..

“SEND ME THE CERTIFICATE”
