I won’t wait. I’ll tell you right off that the cure for the common cold call is permission. Understand permission and your entire outlook about marketing will change along with your bottom line.
Are you familiar with the phrase Permission Marketing?
If you’re trying to sell anything today (including your ideas), you should be.
The opposite of the common cold call (interruption marketing) is the least expensive, and most effective kind. It’s called permission marketing because it’s the privilege (not the right) of delivering anticipated, personal and relevant messages to people who actually want to get them.
You can’t force anyone to pay attention to you anymore. All you can do is entice.
It works like this.
Nothing good is free, and that goes double for Permission. Acquiring solid, deep permission from targeted customers is an investment.
Once you’ve embarked upon a permission marketing campaign, you can spend less time marketing to strangers and more time marketing to friends. You can move your marketing from beyond mere reach and frequency and into the realm of trust.
Permission Marketing cuts through the clutter and allows a business or organization to speak to prospects as friends, not strangers. This personalized, anticipated, frequent, and relevant communication has infinitely more impact than a random message displayed in a random place at a random moment.
