Just wanted to say thanks for being our off site marketing guru!

I LOVE YOUR WORK!!

Cheers

What you can learn from Mickey Mouse to accelerate your business

"Information to assist with the realisation of goals"

Welcome to The Accelerator... To make the most of February we ask the thought provoking question What can you learn from Mickey Mouse to accelerate your business? Once you discover the answer your sales may rapidly increase! We review the book "The Power of Focus" by Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Cranfield and Les Hewitt.

Book Review
Tip of the Month

What can you learn from Mickey Mouse to accelerate your business?

I recently had the opportunity to go to Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida and was amazed at the efficiency, professionalism and marketing strategies used to make the customers experience an unforgettable one. This month I thought I would share with you the four major business learnings I took from my day at Disneyworld.

1. Exceeding expectations

First impressions last! When purchasing my entrance ticket I was greeted by a Disneyworld customer service representative and the tone was set for the day. I was greeted with a genuine smile and welcome to the park, informed of the layout, things to see and do and an overall schedule of how things run. The most significant thing that I became aware of during the day was the stated expectations and surprisingly how they were exceeded. All rides displayed signs indicating how long to expect to wait and on all rides we were on board for our experience at least 5 - 10 minutes less than advertised.

During the day on all the rides Disneyworld customer service representatives asked with a genuine smile "how I was enjoying myself?" leaving me with the feeling that I was the most important person at the park that day! An excellent feeling to leave a customer with especially when there were probably 10,000 other people there that day.

2. Timing

All activities in the park ran to an impeccable time schedule. If a show or activity was stated as starting a 10:00am it started at exactly 10:00am not 5 past or 5 to but at exactly the time advertised. It prompted me to thinking about all the extra things I could do in my business if I implemented a tight regime like the Disneyworld one. I have been trialling myself on small tasks to see where I could introduce the "timing" philosophy and have discovered that I am getting at least 30 minutes extra productivity by starting my work day at an exact time each day!

3. Merchandising and Ongoing Marketing

It's hard to get out of Disneyworld without spending money on Disney merchandise. The park is structured so that as soon as you exit a ride you come out into a merchandise store that carries merchandise in the theme of the ride. An excellent sales technique! Placing the merchandise in front of the customer at the exact moment they are feeling great about their experience. (Lucky for me I was travelling with a sensible shopper or all my family and friends would be getting Disney products as gifts for the next ten years!)

Everything, and I mean everything is branded in the Disney theme. You can even get an ice cream in the shape of Mickey's ears! The biggest learning for me was the reinforcement of consistency, frequency and placement of your brand in front of the customer. Remember the saying "if you are not in front of the customer someone else will be".

4. Attention to detail

Never before have I seen such extraordinary attention to detail as I saw at Disneyworld. Every ride, theme, garden and building had an incredible amount of detail. There was nothing out of place, no distractions, everything was designed to keep your attention focused on having a good time. As a big picture person my attention to very small details is less than perfect so to take a lesson from Disney I am now delegating the detail tasks to ensure my customers receive the appropriate attention.

As an overall theme at Disneyworld I can summarise my experience as "Feel good, happy customers - it's all about the customer". It left me thinking long and hard about my customers and how they feel after an experience with Sue Henry. What can you learn from Mickey and his friends? How do you want your customers to feel?

Take ACTION!

Get into action with one of these ideas ...

1. Jot down the key points where your business excels in Exceeding expectations; Timing; Merchandising and Attention to detail.

2. Identify one improvement that you can make in each of the four areas.

3. Implement one of these before the end of the month.

Book Review

The Power of Focus.
by Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield and Les Hewitt

This amazing book has easy to follow strategies, action steps and an excellent range of ideas to implement to achieve the things that you really want. The thing I enjoyed most about this book was it's simplicity, there are no magic formulas for achieving the results you want just it really is a simple matter of CLARTY, FOCUS and ACTION.

I recommend you read this book, implement the ideas and watch your life transform and business grow! To order this book visit Mark Victor Hansen's web site at www.markvictorhansen.com

Tip of the Month

Develop a System to capture your ideas

Carry a note pad...
Always carry a small notepad to jot down ideas, especially when you are out of your office or
attending functions. That way you can capture the ideas as they present themselves and
develop them when you get back to your office.

Create an ideas file...
As you think of an idea place the idea in the file. Once a month get the file out and create a
plan to assess and action these ideas.

One last thing...

"Keep your mind on the things you want and off the things you don't want"
- W. Clement Stone & Napoleon Hill

Have a great day!

Marketing...

“The true art of obtaining new customers is developing an unwavering connection with the people that need your business” - Sue Henry

To attain the best results from your marketing efforts you must view marketing as a integrated collection of business activities that work best together to attract your ideal customers. It must not be viewed as a sometimes activity. Here arwe five things to keep in mind for marketing your business:

1. Understand who your customers are and how they think
Traditionally in marketing we talk about "defining our target market" and we leap into coming up generalised descriptions of who our customers are. The thing we forget using this system is that each customer has their own unique personalities and traits. The EASIEST way to understand WHO our customers are and how they think is to identify what FRUSTRATES them and what their VALUES and BELIEFS are. If you have a comprehensive understanding of these three key elements you can better understand what the best way to communicate with them is.

2. Have a plan for how you will communicate with them
If you are not in front of your customers on a regular basis, your competitors will be! Use a simple plan and organise your calendar to track what activities, events and methods you will use to be in front of your customers on a regular basis.

3. Use a mix of marketing methods to express your message to them in the way they need to understand it.
Once you understand the frustrations, values and beliefs of your customers you will also understand how they like to communicate. There are people that still prefer for you to send them your information in the post, pick up the phone and talk to them and for a real person to answer the phone when they call. Using a mix of methods also assists you to reinforce your message to them, so if they miss it the first way they are likely to get it another.

4. Build systems so they will buy from you and refer their friends
Make it easy for your customers to buy from you, offer multiple payment methods so it's not too hard for them to purchase from you. Include follow up phone calls, emails, letters after they have purchased from you. Reintroduce the "old fashioned" courtesy call.

5. Measure and test everything you do.
That’s it! Keep track of what works, what doesn't and what you need to do to improve.

We can help with your marketing contact us today to find out how!

Public Relations

Public Relations (PR)...

"Where there are no rules people will make up their own" - anon

Just like when you build a house a business needs foundations to be built on, most people when they start a business are excited and enthusiastic and in their excitment they tend to over look some of the foundation steps required to build a business in readiness for thier future growth. If you are not currently building the foundations and systems in your business then you are probably not getting the results you want, need or desire.

As a minimum you need:

Business Plan (including your marketing, sales and budgets)
The structure and operational processes of how the business is run. Usually in the form of an operations manual
Clear workflows and documentation on the processes, implementation and execution of the marketing & sales activities.
Job descriptions for all roles within the business (including an organisation chart - sales, marketing, management, administration, finance, IT etc)
A mentor, coach, mastermind group or manager.

It’s very easy when we work for ourselves to be easily distracted, allow our fears to dominate our thoughts, procrastinate on the important tasks and not be accountable for our results. Once you master the management of your business it will thrive.

Now we have made it easy for you to get what you want…

YOUR MANAGER is a management service to help take pressure off and get you focused on achieving your goals.

Book Reviews…

Here are a selection of my Favourite books, all of these books have had an influence on my career
and outlook on life.


	Network or Perish In my opinion this is the Australian reference guide to Networking, of course I have a vested interest being one of the authors! Seriously this book is a collection of tips, facts and information to suit the networking style of most Australian's in any profession or industry. The women that co-author this book have inspired and motivated me with their courage, success, support and friendship. I highly recommend this book. (Click here to buy one!)
	The One Minute Millionaire By Robert G Allen and Mark Victor Hansen Wow! I have read a lot of business/motivation books and this one ranks in the top 5! This book is written in two formats - one a "fable" demonstrating that anyone can choose to become a millionaire through a very clever story; the other format a very easy to follow logical "How to" approach. Packed with easy to do exercises this book provides simple and effective strategies to set you on the path to becoming a millionaire. Click here to read my interview with Mark Victor Hansen or Buy the book
	Excuse Me, Your Life is Waiting – The Astonishing Power of Feelings By Lynn Grabhorn Have you ever read a book and thought wow, this person is talking to me! This is what happened for me – it was like a light was switched on, jigsaw pieces fell into place and all those other clichés! It finally brought everything together for me about how the power of your feelings effects your outlook on life, your relationships, your achievements…… everything!Have you noticed that when something little goes wrong (your computer plays up or youcan’t find a car space) suddenly 2 or 3 things all follow in succession (you know – everything happens in 3’s!) That’s because when you put your focus on the things going wrong, you attract more things that go wrong. Think about a recent challenge you’ve had – how did the way you feel about it effect how it was resolved…… or not? When you are feeling great, great things happen – opportunities come your way, the right people come into your life, you get the prime parking spot! I challenge you to focus on how you are feeling during different situations – do you find it easier to focus on what you don’t want to have happen (watch more don’t wants come into your life), or do you continue to focus on feeling good and on what you do want to have happen? (watch more of your wants come into your life) You might be surprised what happens when you change the way you feel.

2011 Program

Are you ready to take action and get results in 2011?

Most people are usually only one action or idea away from getting what they really want from their business.

Sue Henry's Stickybeak programs provide a framework that is easy, fun, results driven and rewarding in which you can specifically work on your business, develop effective strategies and take immediate action to produce the results you desire.

The Stickybeak program is not a coaching program it is about ideas development, implementation and action for your specific needs.

The Stickybeak program focusses on answering three critical questions for your business:

1. Who is helping your business?

Coming up with ideas and knowing how to progress an idea is always easy when you are helping someone else. When it comes to our own businesses we tend to have the blinkers on and keep going in the same patterns and circles not reaching what we really want or desire. That's where we can help, we don't have the blinkers on, we know what the resources are, we have the ideas, we have connections and we know what works.

2. How do you know where the best places to go for the best return on your dollar are?

The business world is abundant with information some good some not so good, sorting through it and the people who supply it is time consuming and can become costly. We have been doing this for the past 11 years - we know where to get the right information, resources and connections for your business and if in the event we don't someone we know does!

3. How are you spending your dollar productive time?

Making ideas work takes time, patience, contacts, learning and structure. Sue Henry’s Stickybeak structure has already put the hard yards in over the past 11 years for you to benefit from.

So Exactly What is involved?

We start by seeing what the current situation is and what you want to achieve by taking a look into your business with our famous Stickybeak analysis and report. ©The Sticky Beak Report is a comprehensive look at your business in a no-nonsense, no mumbo jumbo, no super strategies way to see exactly what is going on, where improvements can be made and some suggestions on actions, marketing tactics and ideas you can take to move forward.

Next - depending on what you want to achieve and the results of the report we put together a comprehensive 'take action' list of marketing and growth activities.

and then we commence...

On a journey over six months by taking action on the priorities, resources and connections to get you what you really want. Depending on your specific needs we may focus on PR, sales strategies, marketing concepts and ideas, self and time management, customer engagement, loyalty programs, product development, advertising, social media strategies, self development, direct marketing, team development, video production, websites, events, sponsorship, operational structure, pricing, networking, exit strategies, new tertitory development, newsletters, branding, promotions, whatever you need.... we develop the actions based on your needs not on a preset list of "what you should do".

Who do we work with?

Predominately we work with small business owners, micro businesses, B2B businesses, we work with non competing businesses, businessess that share similiar values to us; the ones that are looking to work with a business that is practical, fun, engaging and creates a sense of belonging and support (we thinkers and action takers). To participate in a Stickybeak program you must:

Have been in business for minimum 6 months
Be sick and tired of wasting time, money and effort
Want to be able to measure results
Be willing to do what it takes
Be willing to have some fun along the way and enjoy the program

Here are some thoughts from some action takers we have worked with or are currently working with...

“My suggestion for anyone contemplating having Sue Henry facilitate their marketing strategies is “do it”! We engaged Sue’s services for the first 6 months of 2010 and found her knowledge, ideas and guidance invaluable in moving us forward in the direction we needed at the time. Sue’s fun, practical and productive approach to marketing made carrying out the tasks she advised an absolute pleasure and even more importantly they worked!”
Sam Woods – Director/Stylist VibrantConcepts Aust Pty Ltd

Sue, being a micro business owner with a small team – I don’t have the time to execute every good idea that we come up with – you have really been a god send!

Networking

Networking..
Learn about Networking for business & Connect with Sue Henry

"I’ve been a natural networker my entire life but didn’t actually know that’s what I was doing until I first heard the term in the early 1990’s. Since then I've been passionate about spreading the messages of the benefits it can bring." - Sue Henry

The Oxford Dictionary defines a network as…

“a group of people who exchange information, contacts and experience for professional or social purposes”

We believe that if you are running your own small business there are three main reasons to network:

For education and personal/professional development in your area of business expertise
To establish business leads, contacts and/or branding for your business and
For social interaction with people that 'understand' the complexities of being a business owner.

Understanding your purpose for networking (whether it be one, all or a combination of the above three reasons) will save you time, money and effort.

“Only you can change what you are doing, if you want better networking results YOU need to do better things” - Sue Henry

Stay in touch - Sending a card in the mail, an old tradition with a new age twist

"the true art of networking is to first connect,

Business Planning

If you fail to plan you plan to fail! Not rocket science bit it is the number one thing small business owners do not do for themselves. Here are 7 useful tips you must know about business planning:

1. Time is a business plan’s best friend

Allocate your business time, for a business to become profitable it needs a good plan and it needs time. Time to think about what you want, time to plan for how you will get what you want, time to assess what's working and what's not, time to work on the business.

2. All Activities must be on the plan

All activities that you undertake for your business must be productive for the business. Ensure you are engaged and focussed on the activities to move forward by accounting for then in your plan, if it's not in the plan THINK CAREFULLY before doing it. You could become easilty distracted and waste time, money and effort.

3. Don’t over complicate it

Do what works best for you, there are literally thousands of formats you can use to develop plans for your business you need to pick a combination that works best for you. The more direct and simple you keep your plans the easier it is to work with them and the quicker you will get to what you want. Summarise your plan to one page project sheets for success.

4. Be Realistic

A business plan is a tool that can help guide you and keep you on track, simply writing it will not bring success you will need to take action! Therefore be realistic in what goes in your plan, it's great to dream big - while doing that keep a firm grip on what you can actually do. If you need assistance seek the person most qualified to help you with financial forecasting, marketing initiatives, sales strategies, market research etc.

5. Remain objective

As bsuiness owners we are not alwats the best reviewers of our own work, attempt to remain objective when writing your plan and frequently ask yourself questions as if you did not know the business as well as you do. Think from your financiers point of view, your customers point of view, your employees point of view and from a potential buyers point of view. Ask an expert or business friend to review it for you.

6. Share your plan

Ensure that all parties with a vested interest understand your plan, use the content to engage and motivate the people that work with you to ensure the succesfull implementation of your plan.

7. Review you plan against your results

Review the viablitiy and usefulness of your plan against what is actual in your business. Make this a priority on a frequent basis.
