30-Second Tip That Can Triple Your Profits
By Grady Smith
Everyone from pizza chains to video stores have used the principals of positioning
to explode their business. And now, you too can use this strategy -- regardless of the
size of your business -- to catapult sales.
Remember the pizza chain that had franchises cropping up like weeds because they
offered to have a pie at your door in 30 minutes or less? That’s the power of
positioning, and the reason this pizza chain experienced such fast growth. And in a
moment I’m going to detail how you can use positioning to sell more of your product.
But first I want you to understand what positioning is...
Positioning is looking at your competition and deciding how you’re different than
them. It’s finding one strong benefit that your product has that’s not available anywhere
else and that your prospects will view as something desirable.
Take the pizza franchise...
When people are hungry, they don’t want to wait to get their food. Sure, they
might like the corner pizza shop that makes a great pie, but if they’re really hungry they
might not want to wait 45 minutes to an hour.
So in walks a pizza chain that guarantees they’ll get you your pizza in 30 minutes
or less or you don’t pay. Business explodes.
And take a look at the video chain that offers guaranteed available rentals. Instead
of heading down to the corner video store on a busy Friday night praying the movie you
want will be available, you can drive to the place where you know it’s going to be ready
for you to rent.
The question is, if you’re really hungry, or want to assure you’re getting the movie
you want, where will you go?
Now before you say this can’t be applied to your business, I want you to think
again. It can work, and it will work if you do it right.
Everyone has competition. Even someone offering a truly unique ebook about a
business opportunity has strong competition from all the other ebooks with different
business opportunities. But the smart marketer will create a unique position so that
their business opportunity ebook is the obvious choice.
Let me give you an example...
I own a copywriting business where I write sales letters and ads for clients. And the
competition in this market is pretty strong. But, by creating my own unique position I’ve
been able to do quite well.
My unique position is being able to write copy that’s effective and gets results for
about 1/4th the price of my competition. And a deeper look at my position points out
that people don’t need to spend more to get the same results.
So, how do you come up with your own unique position that will let you make more sales?
Think about how your product or service is different than your competition. And
think in terms of a strong benefit that your prospects will find desirable, but is only
available through you. You want to be able to say, "If you want ______, then this is the
only place to get it." And if you can fill in the blank with a strong benefit your prospects
want then I can guarantee you’ll realize more profits because of it.
