Body Language and Persuasion: A Scientific Approach

Posted by: admin in BLOG UNTAGGED  on

By Noah Goldstein, Ph.D.


Everywhere you look—cable news shows, men’s and women’s magazines, bookstores, and even bestseller lists—there are people from all walks of life, claiming to be experts in body language. Many of these individuals insist that they are one of the enlightened few to have a deep understanding of the secrets of how to influence others with nonverbal communication.


Although there are numerous exceptions, the truth is that much of the analysis and advice of many of these people is not based on rigorous scientific evidence, but rather on hunches, intuition, or the all-too-common “my personal experience.” Fortunately, researchers are now beginning to unearth some very interesting—and most importantly,

The Rapid E-Learning Blog - forget the cowbell. Winners need more tiger blood.

I just got back from the Learning Solutions Conference in Orlando.  Like always, it was great getting to meet so many blog readers.  I truly appreciate the enthusiasm and kind feedback.

At the close of the conference, I participated in a panel presentation with some really smart people (not sure how I got invited).  If you’re not familiar with them I included links to their sites below.

We each had to present a “big idea.”  For my part, I decided to present on how to get better at building elearning courses.  It’s a subject asked about frequently through the blog.

For those who didn’t get to go to the conference, here’s my presentation on 5 Ways to Prepare & Be a Winner.

Your price is too high

Posted by: admin in BLOG UNTAGGED  on

We've all heard it, "Your price is too high. I can get it cheaper from your competitor down the street."


Here are two main reasons
why prospective buyers don't get it down the street for a cheaper price.

Reason #1: They CAN'T get it. Three possible reasons why are:

  • The prospect misrepresents your competitor's pricing. In other words, they tell you that your competitor's price is cheaper when it really isn't.

  • The 'same stuff' isn't available. It may be cheaper but the competitor cannot meet the prospective buyer's deliver time.

  • It is NOT the 'same stuff'. If the salesperson does not successfully educate the customer on how their competitor's stuff is different from their own - then guess what - (click read more)

 
Observations on How Ad Position Impacts CTR, Conversion Rate and CPA

Posted by: admin in BLOG UNTAGGED  on

What's Your Favorite Position?

About 20 years before the birth of the Internet, Avis Rental Car had a popular slogan: "We're number two. We try harder". Fast-forwarding to today, some might say that in pay per click marketing, when your ad is not in the top positions of the paid search engines, you really do have to try harder to attract that qualified visitor and make the sale.

In fact, we can see by some of the lofty bid prices on popular keywords that many marketers are willing to pay a healthy premium to show as number one. But do the top positions bring the most cost effective results?

With the addition of Microsoft adCenter and Yahoo's new search marketing interface - "Panama", and Google's already robust pay per click campaign management interface, marketer's now have unprecedented control over a multitude of campaign factors.

The days of campaign success relying solely on good bid management are

5 Closing Questions You Must Be Asking

Posted by: admin in BLOG UNTAGGED  on

5 Closing Questions You Must Be AskingTaken from my new book, "The Ultimate Book of Phone Scripts"

I get a lot of ezine topic requests each week, and the majority of them are requests for different questioning techniques to use during the qualification stage. I'm glad to see these requests because it means people understand the importance of identifying and then spending time with buyers.

I've written many articles over the years that address these kinds of questions, and if you've missed any of them I encourage you to visit my blog here.

Recently, however, I got a request for questions that could be used during the close or presentation stage. That was a good question, and I'm going to cover 5 of my favorites right now. These questions will vary from taking a prospect's pulse to see if they are with you, to finding out if a benefit you just listed would work for them, all the way to a trial close.

All of these questions are crucial to ask during the close, and after you read them I encourage you to put these into your closing scripts and outlines. They will give you the feedback you'll need (and don't get because you're not in front of your prospect) to close the sale. To get the most benefit from them, begin using them today:

#1 After giving any part of your presentation, you should ask, "Are you with me so far?" You can vary this with, "How does that sound?" Or, "Do you see what I mean?" and, "Does that make sense?"

Always listen carefully to not only what they say, but to how they say it. And always allow a few seconds after they respond to give them time to add something else.

Top 4 Reasons to Abandon SEO

BY DAVID VOGELPOHL

 

As an online marketing consultant I’m always preaching the value of SEO, but every now and then a website owner crosses my desk where I advise them to abandon their SEO efforts (cue the boos and hisses). I’ve compiled a list of the reasons I feel justify abandoning your SEO efforts and I hope it leaves you thinking about the value of all of your marketing campaigns and how they fit into your overall strategy.


1. None of your sales come from your website.


I have a friend who is a pediatric cardiologist. A while back he asked me if there was anything I could do for his website. I did some quick Google searches and his practice was ranking number one for most of his target keywords (there aren’t that many pediatric cardiologists in Austin  . I asked him “do any of your patients ever say they found you on Google or through your website?”. His answer was

FTC Files First Large-Scale SMS Spam Case

Posted: 11 Mar 2011 01:32 PM PST

In the first large-scale filing of its kind, the FTC is suing an alleged spammer accused of sending millions of SMS messages to non-subscribed users.

The lawsuit, filed late last month in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleges that the spammer, Phillip Flora, sent millions of unsolicited text messages to consumers advertising loan modification and debt-relief programs. In one 40-day period starting in August of 2009, Flora allegedly sent 5.5 million such messages. In addition, Flora sent millions of unsolicited email messages to consumers promoting his deceptive “SMS marketing services.”

GOOGLE VS. BING: WHO WILL DOMINATE SEARCH?

Posted by Stan Pugsley

March 2, 2011

Yahoo! has called it quits.  Ask.com and AOL are fading into obscurity.  And two major players for search engine dominance remain in the United States: Google and Bing.  Both are backed by deep financial reserves and a strategic imperative to win.  We have lined up the strengths and weaknesses in this infographic :

Google versus the 'Blip'

Posted by: webmaster in BLOG UNTAGGED  on

Bing Bigger Than Yahoo Globally;

Still a Blip vs. Google

Bing overtook Yahoo globally for the first time in January, and further expanded its lead in February, StatCounter announced today.

While Bing hit 4.37 percent and Yahoo dropped to 3.93 percent, Google still dominates worldwide with 89.94 percent of the search engine market share, the web analytics company reported. Google dipped below 90 percent globally for the first time since August 2009.

In the U.S., Yahoo is clinging to its lead on Bing (9.74 vs. 9.03 percent), well behind Google's 79.63 percent.

Bing powers Yahoo search in the U.S. Canada, Australia, Brazil and Mexico.

StatCounter's stats are based on data collected from more than 15 billion page views per month and more than 3 million websites.

What do your customers think?

How To Team Up With Your Customers

By Brian Tracy

 

What is the purpose of a business?

Every time I ask this question during a business seminar, the immediate answer that I get back is, “To make a profit.”

But this answer is wrong.

The purpose of a business is to create and keep a customer. If a business successfully creates and keeps customers in a cost-effective way, it will make a profit while continuing to survive and thrive. If, for any reason, a business fails to attract or sustain a sufficient number of customers, it will experience losses. Too many losses will lead to the demise of the enterprise.

According to Dun and Bradstreet, the single, most important reason for the failure of businesses in America is lack of sales. And, of course, this refers to resales as well as initial sales.

So your company’s job is to create and keep a customer, and your job is exactly the same. Remember, no matter what your official title is, you are a salesperson for yourself and your company. And the best way to increase your value as a salesperson is to build your customer base.

The two most important words to keep in mind in developing a successful customer base are Positioning and Differentiation.

Positioning refers to the way your customers think and

Online Display Ad Market Reaching $100 Billion Over Next Few Years

Posted by: webmaster in BLOG UNTAGGED  on

SAN FRANCISCO -(Dow Jones)- The online display advertising market could top $ 100 billion over the next several years and represents "a pretty enormous opportunity" for Internet search giant Google Inc. (GOOG), a company executive said Monday.

Neal Mohan, Google's vice president for product management, said the company has some 1,000 engineers around the world working to eliminate complexity and challenges from the Internet display advertising market, an effort that will prompt more advertisers to spend more of their budgets online.

"We really believe the overall market is at a tipping point," Mohan said during a question-and-answer session at the Morgan Stanley Tech, Media & Telecom Conference in San Francisco.

Mohan, who is responsible for Google's display advertising products, noted the global online display ad market is currently estimated at about $20 billion to $ 25 billion. He didn't provide a specific timeframe for his $100 billion forecast.

The Mountain View, Calif.-based company last October said its display advertising business hit a $2.5 billion annualized revenue run rate in the third quarter, while its YouTube video site is monetizing more than two billion views per week.

Those comments marked the first time Google provided details about the financial performance of its display advertising business and were aimed at quelling Wall Street concerns about the company's aggressive investments. Mohan did not provide an update to those estimates.

Mohan declined to comment on YouTube's profitability, but noted that Google continued to innovate with new ways to monetize the video site, including new 'cost per view' ads that are generating "lots of excitement" among advertisers.

Shares in Google were up 0.12% at $610.79 in midday trading.

Another Google algorithm change

Posted by: webmaster in BLOG UNTAGGED  on

Finding more high-quality sites in search

2/24/2011

Our goal is simple: to give people the most relevant answers to their queries as quickly as possible. This requires constant tuning of our algorithms, as new content—both good and bad—comes online all the time.

Many of the changes we make are so subtle that very few people notice them. But in the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking—a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queries—and we wanted to let people know what’s going on. This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on.

We can’t make a major improvement without

 
How important are consumer reviews?

Posted by: webmaster in BLOG UNTAGGED  on

Ratings & Reviews: 5 Strategies for Local Businesses

Jon Schepke 

One of the most cost-effective strategies for instilling consumer confidence in your local business is encouraging online reviews and ratings.

For example, 55 percent of U.S. consumers trust a local business more after reading positive online reviews and 67 percent of respondents say they trust online reviews as much as word-of-mouth recommendations, according to a recent survey by BrightLocal.com.

When it comes to online promotion, many business owners start by creating a website that describes their location, products, services, and provides contact information. They then distribute this content to search engines and directories.

Once these basics are taken care of, they tend to shift their focus to utilizing social media such as Facebook and Twitter to communicate with customers.

While these are all key strategies, adding online ratings and reviews is becoming
