Guest blog post from Frank Swiatek, co-author of “Managers, Can You Hear Me Now?” – Hard-Hitting Lessons on How to Get Real Results. Frank is this month’s featured author in the Verizon Author Series.
Whenever I talk with small business owners about their sales, I often hear the phrase, “I’ve got to get my name out there!” They believe that future sales depend on outside marketing tools that they are not currently using, like advertising.
In fact, they have assets within their own businesses which can become a rich source of new business! When we think of business assets we normally think of cash on hand, buildings, inventory, and accounts receivable. There is another kind of business asset, called “Hidden Marketing Assets,” that are often underperforming or being underutilized. If these assets can be optimized, exponential sales growth can happen very quickly…and without spending more money on advertising.
I will host a live (FREE) webinar entitled, “How to Use Your Hidden Marketing Assets to Grow Sales, customers, and Profitability,” click here or go to http://www.brighttalk.com/channel/6255.
