What Our Group Is About
A Teacher And A Success Coach – Not A Salesperson!Dear Steve,I have learned more from you about advertising for results than from any rep I've seen in 29 years of the beauty and day spa business.You take the time to show me the difference in ads that work and you have trained my eye to recognize the components of a well-designed ad. You even identified where I was emphasizing the wrong aspect of my business for the past eight years and got me back on track and marketing to our primary strength.We have just completed our second yellow page book together and I am experiencing a 15% increase in sales over last year’s figures. My beauty supplier is flabbergasted because many of his accounts are barely hanging on. The internet choices you recommended have really paid off getting me first position in my heading in my area...so cool!It is a joy to see you come in my door. You are a teacher and a success coach---not a salesperson. I know you are sincerely looking out for my welfare. Your wisdom - that comes from years of experience and study - coupled with a patient, positive and generous spirit make you a real blessing to me and my business.The more we make the more we can give to good causes. You are a man of integrity and I thank you, Steve, for the refreshing relationship we enjoy. For anyone who has been disappointed in the past, do get together with Steve Sipress if you get the chance -- you'll be glad you did!
Sincerely,
Janelle Nagy, Octagon Spa & Salon
By Far The Best, And My Favorite Rep!“This is just to say how much I appreciate your approach to working with myself and our company. You find it valuable to spend all the time necessary to educate your customer to make better informed decisions regarding their marketing options. You are unlike other reps, who do not get excited about my business, and only seem to want me to sign up so they can get on their way.... You seem to get excited about it as if you were working for your own business' advertising choices. What I think I learned the most from you, is I do need to spend some money in advertising to make more money and grow the business, and you taught me how to look at the advertisements from the consumer’s point of view, and ask myself what would draw me in, and what does the consumer see when they open the book, and then incorporate those ideas into my own display ads. Between the real yellow pages and the other yellow pages, I have dealt with about six different reps, maybe more. Steve, by far you are the best, and my favorite rep. You love your job and it shows. Best of luck with the new book, and looking forward to reading it.”
Sincerely,
Mike Rawlings, Heritage Land Consultants
Increased Our Business By Over 70%!“We have increased our business by over 70% in two years’ time! We have been able to devote our time to do the things we want to do: service the customer. Because we still have “day jobs”, it’s nice to know that Steve can meet us outside of regular business hours so he can help develop an advertising plan and help us grow so that we can realize our dream of THIS being our day job. Thanks for everything you do, Steve!”
Sincerely,
Brian Motherway, Special Memories Video
Actually Cared About My Business“In over 25 years in my practice, almost all sales reps I had to deal with were merely “order takers”. But Steve Sipress showed that he actually cared about my business and my goals.
In the past, I can honestly say that I almost never looked forward to meeting with a sales rep. But I will be very happy to see Steve again next year when it comes time to review my advertising program.”
Dan Babarik, Attorney
Had My Best Interests In Mind“Congratulations. Steve Sipress has done what no other rep before him has: He’s gotten me to change my advertising program.
I told him that I have been very happy with my single box ad, and that I get 90% of my business from word-of-mouth. I insisted he not come to visit me in person, informing him that I had no intention of being subject to a “sales pitch” that I didn’t want or need to hear.
But he politely persisted in attempting to get an appointment with me, stating that he had some valuable ideas for me that would be worth a small amount of my time, and assuring me I would not be subject to a traditional “sales pitch”. He proceeded to succinctly and compellingly present me with several facts, along with his recommendation to increase my advertising in the Dex yellow pages.
Now that is just the consultive, thoughtful, matter-of-fact approach that gets a response from me. I found his reasoning to be sound, and more importantly in my best interests. He could easily have simply let me renew my current program, which would have meant a lot less time and work for him. I am writing to tell you how pleased I am that he thought more of me and my practice than his own interests, and although I am quite a small advertiser, he treated me as a valued and important customer.
Clearly Steve had my best interests in mind, and took the time and trouble to convey them to me in a thoughtful, concise and compelling way. Thank you for assigning such a caring rep to me so that I will have a much more effective advertising program.”

1. There will ALWAYS be an offer or offers2. There will always be a reason to respond right now3. There will be clear instructions on how to respond4. There will be tracking and measurement5. Whatever brand-building that occurs will a happy
by-product -- not bought6. There will be follow up7. There will be strong sales copy, not vague
hyperbole8. In general, it will look like a “mail order ad”9. Results rule, period.10. You will be a strict disciplinarian
1. Invest $1.00 on marketing, get back $2.00 or $20.00, fast, that can be accurately traced to the $1.00 invested.
2. Do NOT spend $1.00 that does not directly and quickly bring back $2.00 or $20.00.
Direct Response Advertising Principles ONLY.
1. Please/appease its BOD (most of whom know zip about advertising & marketing but have lots of opinions)
2. Please/appease its stockholders3. Look good, look appropriate to Wall Street4. Look good and appropriate to the media5. Build brand identity6. Win awards for advertising7. Sell something
Our Agenda1. Sell something. Now!
Sometimes finding the answers to your success is in looking outside your business.
lem·ming –noun Mouse-like rodents noted for periodic mass migrations that sometimes result in mass drownings.
…there was a way to successfully sell at premium prices higher than your competition
……efficiently and systematically attract all the good, respectful, appreciative customers or clients you could ever want…
…while eliminating all the waste and trial-and-error in your advertising… never cold prospecting again… and dramatically increasing, multiplying your income?
1. What business are you REALLY in?
2. From annoying pest to welcome guest
3. The magic of DIRECT RESPONSE MARKETING instead of traditional advertising and marketing
“The first quantum leap occurs when you decide you are NOT in your business…but in the business of marketing your business.”
What business are you REALLY in?
You are in the advertising, marketing and sales business.
“The second quantum leap: since that is the business I’m really in, whether that was my intent or not, I’d better put MOST of my focus on it, and I’d better get good at it!”

“Only the mail-order people really know what they are doing.”
Dan Kennedy’s famous
Marketing Success TriangleThe Formula:
RIGHT Message + RIGHT Markets (Targets)
+ RIGHT Media
= RIGHT RESULTS!
‘USP’ – Unique Selling Proposition, must be concise and differentiate you from all competition.
Answers your prospect’s question:“WHY SHOULD I CHOOSE TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU INSTEAD OF ANY AND EVERY OTHER OPTION AVAILABLE TO ME?”
What’s Yours?
(Partial List)
USP: Unique Selling Proposition
VSP: Value Selling Proposition
Risk Reversal: Guarantees
Direct-Response Offer: Call To Action
Proof: Testimonials
“What THEY say about you is 1000 times more persuasive than what you say about you, even if you are 1000 times more articulate and eloquent.”
THE INADEQUATE MESSAGE
No USP
No VSP
No Risk Reversal
No Offer & Call To Action
No Proof
Would you invest every penny you have in taking your current message to the
market?
…..but let’s assume you get all that right…
The world’s greatest Marketing Message is
no better than the world’s
WORST Marketing Message,
if shouted at deaf ears.
Benefits of TARGET Marketing….. Less Waste
More Efficient
Less Competitive
Attract EXACTLY The Customers You Want
Differentiation Purely From Marketing
More Likely To Arrive At Predictable Results
WHO is your Ideal Target Market?
Now, we need Media…. What is Media? The means we use to deliver our
MESSAGE to the chosen MARKET.
Principle#1: Media is where most people start first.
Most of the time, media should be considered last.
Principle #2: No such thing as “good” or “bad” media.
Some media more appropriate than others for your purposes
• Focuses on THEIR PAIN and MY SOLUTION
• Designed to sell, but also gives real value
• Title is CRITICAL
BONUS POINT:BONUS POINT:
•Selling PREVENTION is much tougher than selling THE CURE
You can create Marketing SYSTEMS that are:
Repeatable Predictable Controllable
Today, just one example…
1. Identify a small, manageable number / group of good
prospects (Market)
2. Design a ‘story’ and an offer attractive to them (Message)
3. Put that in front of them repeatedly, in a short period of
time using Direct-Mail (possibly supplemented with other
contacts) (Media)
Market more comprehensively and intensely to a smaller, selected number so
you can have real impact…..instead of spitting in the ocean.
“But I’ve Tried Direct-Response
Marketing Before…”
NOT the way I teach doing Direct-Response Marketing.

to is just another _______.”
This is different.
This is interesting.
I never really thought about this stuff before.
I should investigate, learn more, and see how I might apply this kind of Direct Response Marketing in my business, too.
How do I get started?
And – uh-oh, it’s gotta be expensive.
Interesting, but…. “My business is different.” “I don’t have time to become a Master Marketer.” “I’m set in my ways.” “I don’t want to take responsibility for my own marketing.” “I prefer making excuses and blaming to getting results.”
“I thought this was just another networking group.”

“Creating Your Own Unique Million Dollar Message”
Steve Sipress
Creating Your Own Unique“Million Dollar Message”
Let’s Get Started…• Are you looking for proven and tested ways you can generate more leads, attract more clients and make more money? • Here’s a quick way you can do this WITHOUT having to spend a dime
• Since Chicagoland’s Sharpest Entrepreneurs is a wide, diverse group, I will need to select various businesses to use as examples
• The strategies and tactics you will see are applicable to EVERY business on the planet
“Elevator Pitch”
• An elevator pitch is a 10- to 30-second mini-commercial that highlights the major benefit you provide to your prospects that your competition does NOT
• It immediately separates you from your competitors, and makes you the logical choice to do business with
• It becomes the basis for all of your marketing
• We refer to it as your “Million Dollar Message”
Why A Million Dollar Message Is Important…
• The first thing anyone says to someone they have just met is “what do you do?”
• The typical real estate agent’s response is “I sell real estate”
• A seasoned agent may say “I help buyers and sellerscomplete successful transactions”
• Still doesn’t make anyone jump up and down, does it?
• But when you use a compelling 10-second Elevator Pitch (your Million Dollar Message), people who are in your target market will respond with something like, “How do you do that?”
• Our elevator pitch template gives any small business owner the ability to create multiple, powerful & compelling messages that get real results• This is one of the best ways for any small business owner to generate a massive number of leads in a short amount of time for absolutely zero dollars in cost
