The key characteristics and actions that lead to consistent business growth

Do You Use These 4
Essential Foundations For
Creating Business Growth?
(Or Are You Still Struggling To Achieve Your Potential?)
Over the last thirty years or so, I’ve been able to witness the growth of some extremely successful and profitable enterprises.
There are however, many worthy and sincere businesses that, not for the lack of trying, have never quite achieved the level of success and fulfillment for their owners that they were perfectly capable of. Why is this?
Tell-tale patterns of under performing enterprises
One of the advantages I’ve had of working with so many different businesses is that I’ve been able to study the key characteristics and strategies that lead to consistent success in business, and also the tell-tale signs and patterns of behaviour that are consistently found in sub-par or under-performing enterprises.
So many businesses, particularly smaller ones, are killing off any chance of generating the sales revenues and profits they are striving for, by not performing certain key actions in their business. So I decided to do something about it.
Help for smaller companies…
Seven years ago I set up ‘The Marketing Support Network‘ to help smaller businesses access these key success strategies and provide advice and support to put them into action. The ethos behind the Network was to provide marketing know-how and help at an affordable price.
Here are some comments from members regarding how the Marketing Support Network helps them grow their business.
“Having had zero response to several adverts I decided it was time to get some marketing help. I was desperate to attract new business. Joining the Marketing Support Network signaled the beginning of a new successful era for my business.
The unbelievable thing was that almost from day one my fortunes changed. I now seem to attract work like a magnetic field!”
Richard Whidborne, e-Griffin Consulting
“A few months on from joining the Marketing Support Network, not only has our marketing activity been stimulated but so has our turn over!
We are actively marketing with new sales letters, adverts, flyers, leaflets and we have improved our website, all produced or altered in line with the advice and help from the Marketing Support Network and my Mentor.
The effect on our turnover has been a 200%+ improvement on our retail shop turn over in May & June. Fantastic!”
Robin Tuppen, Cuckmere Trug
“On the day we changed the name of the Newsletter and used the new landing page we had a surge in Newsletter sign- ups, which was wonderful! In the last few months the sign up rate has improved by 66% due to the changes we made. Thank you”
Chris Jay, Owner, Pets Bureau.
The basic aim of the Marketing Support Network is to provide businesses with the 4 essential foundations to enable them to start growing.
These 4 foundations are:
1) A competitive and relevant marketing strategy and in place in your business
2) Knowing your priorities; exactly where to start, and what to ignore
3) Being confident of exactly what to write and how to convey your sales
4) Having a system that can keep you focused on the task at hand without being easily blown off course, or distracted by the day-to-day pressures and hassles of business life.
The first thing we do with new members to kick start their growth is to provide a complimentary, private one hour marketing consultation with a key member of my team whom I’ve personally trained.
Here’s how it works…
To effectively kick start your marketing you must have a clear vision of what you want your business to become, how big you want it to be and how quickly you want to achieve it. Only then can you start to logically organise your marketing strategies and plans to make it happen.
Following your consultation a bespoke marketing strategy and plan of activities is sent to you.
Your Personal Mentor
To help you put your plan into action you will be assigned a member of my team to be your Marketing Mentor. Your mentor will help you personally to put your marketing strategy and plan in to action. If and when you need help, just pick up the phone or email them.
Here are some examples of the type of help your mentor will provide:
Say you’re writing a new sales letter, you can instantly access a proven 12-step template to get you going in the right direction, and then email your drafts to your Personal Mentor to get a constructive critique and feedback that will maximise responses.
Perhaps you’re preparing a new email campaign, and you want some urgent advice, you simply speak to one of our team who will provide the answers you need.
Maybe you’d like to find a reliable supplier of new prospect data, or the best provider of telemarketing services, simply contact our team and receive our honest recommendations.
Say you’re revamping your web site, you can receive an instant check-list of the key strategies that will maximise the numbers of enquiries and sales your site delivers.
Here are just a few examples of the results Members are getting:
- A Scottish Go-Karting Company sent out an Eshot and received several calls within 24 hours, resulting in £3,000 worth of group bookings.
- A small gym in South Wales changed the content of a leaflet they sent, following advice from their mentor. The leaflet attracted several new members which were worth £5,000 per year in new fees. The 4,000 leaflets only cost £160 to print and deliver!
The actual marketing pieces used in all these campaigns are sent to every member so that they can see exactly why they worked so well, and how they can be adapted for their own business. They are also permanently put up on the membership website.
In addition to personal help from your Mentor, support comes in the form of regular webinars and success interviews. These provide a chance to learn proven new sales and marketing strategies to keep you ahead of your competition, and inspiration and ideas from successful entrepreneurs who are asked to reveal their most profitable marketing strategies and success tips.
The membership website is also full of ‘how-to’ templates, videos and successful marketing examples, which are yours to use and adapt and apply, with our help!
These free guides and resources let you avoid the risk and remove the guess-work from your marketing.
There’s a wide range of market-tested and carefully refined strategies, tactics and methodologies that I and hundreds of my clients over the years have proven to work time and time again, and these are all available on the Marketing Support Network Website.
The cost of membership is only £55.00 + Vat per month
But here’s some more good news…
Every few months we are able to take on a tranche of new members. But because of the personal input you receive from your mentor in developing your marketing strategy and plan there is obviously a limit to the number of new members we can accommodate. Our limit right now is 15 new members over the next 30 days.
Try the Marketing Support Network For Just £9.95 + vat
These 15 new members will be offered a 30 day trial for just £9.95+vat. To be included you will need to act quickly!
At the end of your 30-day trial, when you’ve proved to yourself the value of the support system that you’ve got your hands on, you can continue your membership for only £55+VAT per month, (but there’s no obligation to do so).
There is no membership contract either, so if you decide to continue with your membership you are perfectly entitled to cancel it at any time with just an email or telephone call.
If you decide not to continue with your membership after your trial – that’s OK just let us know.
To claim one of the 15 trial places, just call Sally
on 01692 538800 or email her on sally@common-sense-marketing.com
We’ll then organise your user name and password to the Member’s private web site, and arrange a date for your private one-on-one Marketing Consultation.
