Can I backdate my car insurance and road tax renewal?
02 November 2009
This happens when your car insurance and road tax have expired for some time.
In fact, you are not allowed to backdate your insurance and road tax. Here’s an example you may refer to:
Case 1
Mr. X’s car insurance and road tax expired on 1/11/09. Today is already 7/11/09 and he decided to renew his insurance and road tax. He wishes to backdate renew his insurance and road tax from 2/11/09.
It is impossible to cover your vehicle with the period of cover that is already past. By the way, it’s not fair for owners to pay to protect the past, and impossible. Thus, the period of cover must always start from today or future.
As for Mr. X’s case. He should start his renewal on 7/11/09.
If he had an accident or encountered theft during this week time with no insurance coverage, it would be at his total responsibility for damage or loss of his vehicle.

Can I purchase my car insurance from 2 or more insurance companies?
22 October 2009
Unfortunately, there is a restriction for insureds to purchase or renew with more than 1 insurance company. Some might insure with 2 or more insurance companies, so that they can profit from the insurance companies. However, this is not allowed.
It is a breach of a clause in the agreement that says that the insured must not be insured by more than one insurance provider. Insurance companies have the right of not compensating when you are making a claim, or the total claim amount will be split among the insurance providers accordingly.
You must remember that you must not profit from insurance claims.

Can I purchase third party coverage if vehicle is still under hire & purchase (car loan) service?
13 October 2009
Unfortunately, the answer is NO. You must purchase Comprehensive coverage plan for your vehicle when your vehicle is still under hire & purchase service by any financial institutes.
The reason is: when your vehicle is under hire & purchase service, the financial institute (bank or credit company) own the vehicle and not you. Thus, in order to protect the vehicle, it is compulsory to purchase the full comprehensive coverage plan until you have fully paid off or settled the hire & purchase service. Till then, you may decide to purchase either comprehensive or third party coverage plan on your own preference.

Comprehensive or Third Party?
13 October 2009
The difference between comprehensive and third party coverage is vast. While you are deciding which coverage you should opt for, there are a few things you may need to consider.
1) Age of your vehicle
2) Value of your vehicle
3) Is your vehicle under hire & purchase (car loan) service?
Usually, owners will opt for third party coverage when their vehicles are old, have low value and finished hire & purchase service.
* If your vehicle is still under hire & purchase (car loan) service, it’s compulsory to purchase COMPREHENSIVE coverage only.
However, it’s wise to have comprehensive coverage.
Insurance Type / Cover Third Party Comprehensive
Liability to third party involved for:
injury YES YES
death
property loss / damage
Loss / damage to own vehicle NO YES
due to accidental fire / theft

JPJ or PDRM system down – Renew your insurance and road tax earlier
05 October 2009
It is always not advisable to renew your car insurance and road tax the Malaysian preferred way, the last minute way. You may think that you will definitely get them done even at the very last minute. Unfortunately, you must always remember this, “Things tend to break down when you need them the most. ”
Case 1:
Mr. A renews his car insurance and road tax on the same day of his car insurance and road tax expiry. Everything goes fine until when he waits for his road tax. He is informed that he has a traffic summon to be settled before he can have his road tax renewal done. Unfortunately, the PDRM (traffic police) system has been down for quite some time and he is unable to settle his summon. Thus, he could not drive his vehicle for the entire week, and till the day where he is able to pay the summon. The JPJ system is down for some unknown reasons, and he has to wait again till the system is back online in order to renew his road tax.
Imagine the inconvenience Mr. A experiences during the waiting period.
It is always good to get things done before it gets urgent. It helps save your unnecessary troubles and problems.

Advice on unnotified cancellation of your insurance / takaful policy
30 September 2009
It is a fact that car insurance or Takaful has to be done in order to renew road tax. However, when you receive your insurance E-Covernote and road tax, you are advised to contact your selected insurance company to ensure your vehicle is being insured.
Case 1:
Mr. A assigned a proxy and made payment to renew car insurance and road tax. He received an insurance E-Covernote and road tax. A year later when his car insurance and road tax are expiring, he called to the insurance company to check his accumulated NCD and he was told that his insurance was canceled a year ago on the same day he received the road tax . And he knew nothing about it.
Mr. A was fortunate enough that his vehicle was not stolen or did not get into an accident during the entire year. If he were involved in an accident or theft, he would suffer a relatively large sum of loss.
Finally, Mr. A knew that the proxy was actually cheating and reported to insurance company.
Readers are advised to recheck the status of car insurance with your insurance company to ensure your car insurance coverage plan is active even if you receive E-Covernote or Policy.

Blog Advertising – Understand Your Blog’s Real Estate
Blog Advertising – Understand Your Blog’s Real Estate
by GOBALA KRISHNAN on DECEMBER 14, 2009
in BLOGGING TIPS
Not all space on your blog is created equal. How much you understand about your blog’s real estate will ultimately influence the results you get.
That being said, which parts of your blog are more valuable? Where should you put your main money-making ad, link or Aweber optin form?
I’ve broken down a typical 3-column blog layout (like the one we use here) into a few profitable areas:
Content Area – No matter which type of layout you use, the content area is by far the more valuable spot. People visit your blog to read content, not to look at your ads or design. Sure, a jaw-dropping design is cool the first time, but it will not get people to stick. Ads, links and optin forms within your content is the most valuable, as it is guaranteed to reach the eyeball of your visitor. It’s even more effective if your ads are tightly related to the content itself.
Left Navigation – If your blog has a left-column navigation (like ours), then this is the second most valuable spot. People in most countries read from left to right, and on the way to your content their eyeballs have to pay at least some attention to the navigation area.
Right Navigation – Unlike the left navigation, your visitors don’t have to pay attention to the anything after the actual content area. Since they don’t have to, they rarely will. People are quite accustomed to grid-based website layouts and they know (almost instinctively) where to look for content, and what to ignore.
Header Area – Although the header area comes before everything else, it’s too detached from the actual content, which makes it the second least valuable spot on your blog. I will almost never pay an advertiser for placing banner ads in the header area. The more frequent someone visits your blog, the most invisible the header area gets.
Footer Area – It’s almost worthless to even consider the footer area as a possible most maker. Detached from content and navigation, and too far from eyeballs, the footer is best left for things than don’t really require attention.
Yeah i know; your results may be different. However, in most cases this simple grid-based logic works well. The real question though, is what should you do with this information?
If you want to squeeze more money from your blog, you need to reorganize certain elements to work for you, instead of against you. Here are a few ideas:
In-Content Ads – If you’re selling banner ads on your blog, create a spot in the content area itself. Savvy advertisers are willing to pay much more for an in-content ad, and you can easily increase your advertising dollars overnight.
Affiliate Links vs Affiliate Banners – If you’re promoting an affiliate product, forget banner ads. It’s much better to use affiliate links weaved into the content. Plus, having less ads frees up important real estate for other purposes.
Reorganize Your Navigation – Are your navigation links eating up valuable advertising space? Move them away to non-profitable areas like the right sidebar, header of footer so you can make more money from the profitable ones.
Footer Dump – Anything else that your readers don’t really need, but which is essential for your blog (privacy policy, disclaimers etc), has to be moved to the footer. The footer area is the universal dumping ground for all non-profitable stuff.
The next time you decided to get a new theme for your blog, ask yourself an important question- “What do I want to achieve with my blog?”
Always put function above form. Understand the main objective of your blog.
Is it to communicate your ideas? Then move your content to the left, followed by navigation, and use minimal ads. Is your objective to build a mailing list or get more subscribers? Then put your optin form in the profitable areas instead of hiding it beneath meaningless ad

11. Unauthorized Credit Inquiry
To: Credit Card Company
Dear Sir,
I recently received a copy of my credit report. The credit report showed a credit inquiry by your company that I do not recall authorizing. I understand that you should not be allowed to put an inquiry on my file unless I have authorized it.

I have sent this letter certified mail because I need your prompt response to this issue. I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and would be pleased to receive documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed.
If you find that I am remiss, and you by some chance did have my authorization to inquire into my credit report, then please send me proof of this.

1.Apology to Brother
Dear ...
I feel very bad about the way things have been left between us and I need to write you a few words. I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I love you as my brother and I can no longer stand back and leave things the way they are between us.
I know I have not been myself this last while and have lashed out at you badly. I�ve said some things to you that I didn�t mean, and I am truly sorry. As you know I have been under a tremendous amount of stress, and that stress now has been affecting me in negative ways at times. That does not excuse me for my behavior!!
Please forgive me for being so careless with my words...I wish I could take it all back.
As I reflect about the path that I`m taking in my life, I think about the sacrifices that I, and those around me, are making. I guess that life can be,but should not be, a whole lot of sacrifices. I just wish there was a way to help you understand what I am going through and why I keep going ahead with this. The most important reason is because __(describe why it�s important to do this)__. At the end of the day, I really am only trying to keep my head above water and succeed.
There have been many times I have thought of calling you, especially on those days when I am feeling weary and discouraged. Those are the times where I am most ratty and yet need your comforting words. More than anything else, I would welcome your friendship to see me through these tough times. I need you in my life, __(name), you are my brother. You are more important to me than you know. I�m just asking you for your patience and understanding during this critical time in my life...it really has not been easy for me.
Knowing that you are there for me would make things so much better. I hope that I am able to work through this and as I progress with my own problems will be able to include you as my brother and even better yet, become good friends.
I would really like to get together with you soon to talk this through, if you�re willing.
Very sincerely,

True love must be present and needing one another.

This is the bond spoken about between a woman and a man.

With a heart of compassion that's gentle and pure
Being patient with the other for a marriage that's secure.
These are must haves for marriage to a long lasting and happy relation
That's what the Lord intended since the beginning of creation.
Congratulations!

General
-Apologies:
1-Apology for Inappropriate Behaviour.
Dear ...
I am apologizing for the way I have been behaving lately. I have responded inappropriately to your expressions of genuine care and concern. I am very sorry if I hurt your feelings. The last thing I want to do is to upset you in any way. By no means will I try to justify my inappropriate behavior to you, however, I would like to explain why I reacted the way I did. Hopefully, it will give you an insight as to where I was coming from.
As far back as I can remember, I've always been left on my own to sort out my own problems. This has become a way of life for me. Never before, have I been shown by another person such genuine compassion as you showed me. I understand that you were sincere in offering your care and concern for my situation and you genuinely wanted to help. Instead of simply being grateful and graciously and accepting it as gesture of kindness, I nervously laughed it off, not really knowing quite how to handle it. It's just that your mannerism was so unfamiaiar to me. That was wrong and I feel badly about it.
Thank you, __(name), for being who you are, and for showing me how wonderful people really can be towards each other. You have given me a life lesson that I will hold on to tightly; a renewed belief in my fellow human being. I am sorry that I had to have my eyes opened to this revelation at the expense of your feelings. Please accept my apologies for this.
I am so thankful to have you as my friend (to have you in my life)
You're the best!
Sincerely,
2.Apology for Unjust Behavior
Dear
I recently discovered that I have made a huge mistake regarding the incident that occurred between the two of us a while back. I understand now how curtly I spoke to you, and how unjustly I treated you only to find out later that it was no fault of yours at all.
My actions were unwarranted and unjust. The only beneficial outcome of this is that I have learned a valuable lesson throughout this unpleasant ordeal. As and from now I will be conducting more thorough investigations before I go flying off the handle and wrongly accusing people.
I realize that this may cause a temporary ill-feeling, which I do understand, but at the same time, I hope that we are able to remind ourselves of the saying "let bygones, be bygones"
Please accept my sincerest apology for the inexcusable way I behaved towards you. I genuinely regret it.
Sincerely,

Menciptakan Produk Yang Menjual
Menciptakan Produk Yang Menjual
Dari sini semuanya bermula, apakah nasehat ini dilakukan atau tidak, pengusaha setuju bahwa tidak ada bisnis yang dapat bertahan tanpa passion.
Passion adalah isu emosional. Seperti layaknya bisnis dan penciptaan produk yang akan mempertahankan bisnis harus dimulai dengan apa yang kita ketahui dengan baik.
Pengusaha memiliki gaya bisnis dan pendekatan yang beragam. Masing-masing berdasarkan teknik yang diajarkan oleh lingkungannya yang memungkinkan membuat keputusan dan deviasi.
Namun ada metode umum yang telah teruji di semua bisnis dan tanggapannya terhadap penciptaan produk:
1.Setahap demi setahap. Seperti halnya meciptakan pekerjaan yang aktual, dimulai dengan perencanaan yang sangat hati-hati.
Mulai dan tuliskan. Buatlah rancangan produk yang ada dipikiran anda. Dengan menulisnya anda akan berhadapan langsung dengan ide. Apa yang sebelumnya abstrak menjadi lebih hidup. Anda dapat menambahkan, mengurangi, memperkaya, mempelajarinya dari semua sudut yang memungkinkan, membuat revisi dan alternatif atau terkadang menulis ulang hingga apa yang sebelumnya hanya berupa ide menjadi sebuah bentuk.
2. Gunakan waktu anda dan nikmati rencana anda. Terburu-buru hanya akan menciptakan hasil yang tidak diinginkan.
3. Spesifik - Buatlah kata kunci yang spesifik. Jangan lupa menyertakan daftar pertanyaan berikut. Apakah tujuannya? Rencana apa yang ingin anda raih?
4. Penciptaan produk ditujukan untuk kebutuhan tertentu yang tidak ada dipasar. Jika sebuah produk telah memilikinya, versi anda harus menawarkan sesuatu yang baru sehingga menimbulkan ketertarikan dan memberikan alternatif tertentu yang dapat bertahan lama daripada yang sudah ada. Semakin populer ketersediaan produk, akan semakin baik untuk pengenalan produk anda di pasar dan penerimaannya.
5. Penciptaan produk harus membidik segmen pasar tertentu, yang terbaik adalah mengidentifikasi sebuah produk dengan segmen yang lebih kecil, misal kelompok usia yang ingin anda dapatkan, pria atau wanita, kelas/status konsumen yang anda bidik. Ini akan membantu anda untuk tetap fokus.
6. Jika anda seorang pembelanja, anda akan menemukan bahwa produk baru akan dengan mudah tersesat di hutan belantara produk yang telah ada. Jika anda mengunjungi toko online, anda akan berpikir bahwa semua produk yang tersedia untuk dikonsumsi telah ada di luar sana. Tapi mimpi masih menghantui anda. Anda tahu sesuatu masih bisa dilakukan. Jadi elemen apa saya yang dapat meningkatkan kesempatan produk anda di penentrasi pasar?
7. Mencoba ceruk pemasaran. Ceruk pemasaran adalah menempatkan produk anda pada kategori khusus untuk memenuhi keinginan tertentu. Beberapa strategi yang telah diuji menemukan tempat di hati konsumen, misalnya, produk rendah karbohidrat, rendah kalori, protein tinggi, bebas gula, tanpa lemak, menambah energi, tahan lama, dan sederatan lainnya. Ceruk pemasaran membuat produk anda lebih spesifik bagi orang dengan kebutuhan spesifik.
8. Memberikan nama. Bagian yang sulit telah dilewati. Kini saatnya memberi nama produk anda. Sebuah poin yang perlu dipertimbangkan adalah, kata-kata yang mendatangkan ide. Misalkan disebutkan awan gelap datang, ide yang muncul dalam pikiran adalah angin dingin, hujan, atau bahkan akan datang badai.
Seseorang tidak harus beranjak keluar dan melihatnya. Ide sudah ada disana. Sebaliknya, dengan segera mengambil kata, ide akan kehilangan maknanya. Akan kehilangan identitasnya dan tidak menjadi apapun. Inilah mengapa nama menjadi sangat penting. Begitu juga dengan label serta pengemasan.
Mudah untuk mengingat nama yang pendek adalah hal yang menakjubkan terlebih jika kemasan produk sangat menarik.
Terkadang, tidak peduli apa yang dibilang orang bagus dan dot.com yang atraktif yang menarik trafik produk anda sehingga dapat memperkaya nilai yang diterimanya.
9. Ucapkan lagi. Pengulangan yang konstan. Pengulangan di pikiran. Ini adalah maksud dari pertempuran. Ini sebabnya mengapa firma marketing memperpanjang pemasangan iklan. Bagi beberapa produk, newsletter dan brosur dapat digunakan.
10. Segera Bertindak. Anda telah memiliki semuanya untuk diluncurkan. Channel distribusi telah diputuskan, model distribusi juga telah dipilih. Anda membuat produk anda tersedia, visibel dan kompetitif. Kemudian anda menahan nafas. Pada saat produk dikenalkan, pangsa pasar yang luas akan bereaksi. Ketika hal itu terjadi, daya tahan produk akan tergantung pada seberapa bagus produk anda seperti yang dijanjikan.
Sekarang yang perlu anda khawatirkan adalah keuntungan kompetitif yang anda dapatkan.

Temukan Rahasia Marketing yang Efektif
Ilmu marketing bisa jadi hal yang rumit dan membingungkan. Saya sudah sering melihat banyak marketing profesional yang menyerah pada berbagai aspek marketing yang hanya memberikan dampak yang kecil.
Berdasarkan pengalaman saya, ada empat elemen penting dalam menjalankan marketing yang efektif. Apakah Anda ingin meningkatkan hasil marketing secara umum, pastikan untuk mengikuti panduan sederhana ini yang saya singkat menjadi pendekatan A.T.O.M
A.T.O.M – Audience (audien), Timing (waktu), Offer (penawaran), Message (pesan)
1. Kenali audien Anda. Tidak seorangpun yang bisa menjual, berkomunikasi, memasarkan secara efektif tanpa mengenali audiennya atau apa yang mendorong mereka untuk membeli. Pria atau wanita pembeli potensial Anda? Muda atau tua? Baru pertama membeli atau sudah sering membeli? Apakah mereka pembuat keputusan? Apakah mereka memiliki preferensi produk, jasa, atau metode pengiriman tertentu? Semakin banyak yang Anda ketahui tentang audien Anda, semakin fokus dan relevan marketing Anda.
2. Waktu adalah segala-galanya. Sekalipun dengan promosi yang meyakinkan, prospek tidak akan berminat dengan produk atau jasa Anda jika Anda tidak mengkomunikasikannya di saat yang tepat. Pastikan pesan marketing Anda di hadapan prospek saat mereka siap membelinya.
3. Menemukan penawaran yang tepat. Dalam direct marketing, para ahli menyatakan bahwa 40% dari hasil tergantung pada daftar Anda, 40% pada penawaran, dan 20% pada kreativitas. sted and refined to improve your results.
4. Menyampaikan pesan. Jika Anda tahu audiens dengan baik, maka Anda harus bisa menyampaikan pesan yang memenuhi kebutuhan mereka dan membedakan produk atau jasa dari kompetitor. Sebagai tambahan, pastikan untuk menekankan pada keunggulan fitur. Ini akan memberikan alasan pada audien untuk membaca, mencoba, dan membeli.
Suatu ketika saat Anda melakukan proses marketing, gunakan pendekatan A.T.O.M. Kenali audien Anda, pastikan Anda berada didekatnya saat mereka siap membeli, menemukan penawaran yang paling produktif, dan berkomunikasi dengan mereka secar produktif, penting dalam proses marketing untuk mendapatkan hasil.

Lima Keterampilan Sales: Sudahkah Anda miliki?
Taktik sales lama dan digunakan oleh banyak tenaga sales di masa lalu tidak bisa diterapkan dalam ekonomi baru. Jika Anda ingin mendapatkan penjualan yang sukses di situasi ekonomi saat ini dan di tiga hingga lima tahun mendatang, Anda harus beradaptasi dengan cara baru dalam penjualan.
Ketrampilan ini bukanlah hal baru bagi orang sales top. Ketrampilan tersebut sama dengan yang saya pelajari.
Tenaga sales di ekonomi baru perlu memiliki lima ketrampilan berikut:
Empati pada klien.
Ketrampilan membangun hubungan jangka panjang.
Kemampuan bekerja sama dengan departemen lain dalam perusahaannya.
Pengetahuan pasar yang mendalam.
Melayani pelanggan.
Mari kita lihat satu demi satu secara mendalam:
Orang sales yang sukses memiliki empati pada klien.
Kamus mendefinisikan empati sebagai; pengetahuan intelektual dengan menggunakan pengalaman yang pernah dirasakan, pikiran atau sikap pada orang lain.
Dalam istilah Layman, berarti Anda harus bisa menempatkan diri Anda pada posisi klien. Anda harus bisa melihat segala sesuatunya dari kaca mata mereka, merasakan apa yang mereka rasakan dan peduli dengan apa yang menjadi perhatian mereka, mengesampingkan ide dan perasaan Anda terhadap apa yang benar buat mereka.
Ada ungkapan tua yang mengatakan, orang tidak peduli seberapa banyak Anda tahu, sampai mereka tahu seberapa besar perhatian Anda. Mulai peduli dengan apa yang dikatakan klien dan apa yang tidak mereka katakan pada Anda.
Seorang sales sukses memiliki ketrampilan membangun hubungan jangka panjang.
Banyak orang sales dan perusahaan yang mengeluarkan banyak waktu dan uang untuk mendapatkan klien baru dibandingkan mempertahankan yang sudah ada. Ini sangat terbalik Dari pertama kali Anda melakukan kontak dengan klien Anda sudah harus memikirkan hubungan jangka panjang. Ketika klien membeli dari Anda dan mereka suka serta percaya pada Anda, mereka jadi lebih yakin untuk lebih memilih Anda dan menjadi duta Anda.
Saat Anda mengembangkan hubungan jangka panjang, ramah dengan klien dan mereka memuji-muji anda di depan orang lain yang mereka kenal, maka sales akan menjadi lebih mudah.
Seperti yang sudah Anda ketahui, merupakan hal yang menyenangkan saat telepon berdering dan ternyata dari klien yang memberikan Anda referral atau justru si referral itu sendiri yang menghubungi Anda untuk melakukan transaksi.
Seorang sales sukses mampu bekerja sama dengan departemen lain dalam perusahaannya.
Anda harus memiliki hubungan jaringan yang baik di semua departemen dalam perusahaan. Ingatlah, Anda semua bekerja sama untuk mencapai satu tujuan, membuat klien senang sehingga perusahaan mendapatkan profit.
Anda tidak pernah tahu kapan Anda membutuhkan bantuan; pengiriman yang lebih cepat, penambahan dalam pembelian, rekan yang harus lembur untuk menyelesaikan order, siapa tahu mungkin Anda membutuhkan bantuan orang lain suatu hari.
Seorang sales sukses memiliki pengetahuan pasar yang mendalam.
Tidak ada cara yang lebih baik untuk membedakan diri Anda dengan orang lain yang menjual produk atau jasa serupa selain mengetahui apa saja yang terjadi di pasar Anda.
Apakah Anda tahu yang dijual competitor, berapa mereka menjualnya, dan seperti apa layanan pelanggannya? Apakah ada tren baru?
Gali lebih dalam, selesaikan PR Anda dan cari tahu apa saja yang bisa Anda lakukan untuk pasar. Seringkali sales dengan pengetahuan yang mendalam memenangkan penjualan, terlepas dari masalah harga.
Seorang sales sukses memiliki dedikasi dalam melayani pelanggan.
Penjualan tidak berhenti saat Anda menerima cek atau form order. Ini akan berlanjut bahkan setelah proses pengiriman dan selama bertahun-tahun mendatang.
Ingatlah, hubungan jangka panjang yang dibangun, terlibat dalam proses secara keseluruhan. Jangan hanya bisa menyerahkan segala sesuatunya pada orang lain dalam perusahaan. Tetaplah terlibat, sekalipun untuk berkomunikasi dengan klien. Jenis follow-up seperti ini akan meningkatkan repeat order dan referral bisnis.
Kelima ketrampilan kunci ini sudah saya terapkan selama 27 tahun dan sebagai dasar untuk pelatihan produk dan jasa.

10 Cara Membangun Kepercayaan dalam Bisnis
Kepercayaan adalah hal yang sangat penting untuk menarik klien baru dan membangun kepercayaan seharusnya menjadi bagian penting dalam strategi marketing Anda.
Anda tidak akan membeli mobil jika menurut Anda tidak bisa dikendarai pulang. Dan Anda tidak akan membeli dari dealer yang curang, dengan memberikan harga yang tinggi dan tidak bertanggung jawab saat terjadi kerusakan mesin saat mobil dibawa pulang.
Sebelum membeli dari Anda, pembeli harus percaya bahwa produk dan jasa Anda akan memenuhi fungsinya. Apakah marketing Anda membantu membangun kepercayaan yang dibutuhkan untuk meyakinkan prospek agar membeli dari Anda? Jika Anda berupaya keras untuk menarik klien dan pelanggan, gunakan taktik berikut untuk merubah prospek menjadi klien.
1. Mendapatkan Testimoni
Terlepas dari seberapa besar kredibilitas Anda atau banyaknya pengalaman yang Anda miliki, orang akan lebih memperhatikan apa yang dikatakan ORANG LAIN mengenai Anda.
Angkat telepon dan hubungi pelanggan Anda untuk menanyakan pendapat mereka terhadap produk atau jasa Anda, apa yang mereka sukai dan bagaimana bisa membantu mereka. Edit komentar mereka, mintalah ijin untuk menggunakan komentar mereka dan tampilkan testimoni ini dalam materi marketing Anda.
2. Gunakan artikel daripada iklan
Kami mulai tidak mempercayai iklan dan mulai meyakini apa yang kami baca di artikel yang diterbitkan. Investasikan waktu Anda untuk menulis artikel yang menjadikan Anda seorang ahli. Jika Anda membuat iklan, masukkan testimoni kedalamnya.
3. Memberi sesuatu
Saat Anda memberi sesuatu pada orang lain, terlepas dari masalah harga, mereka akan percaya pada Anda dan sebagai gantinya mereka akan membeli sesuatu dari Anda. Gunakan ebook, artikel, workshop atau demo gratis untuk membangun kepercayaan.
4. Mendapatkan referal
Ketika Anda membutuhkan dokter baru, pengacara, tukang ledeng, tukang kayu, atau tempat makan, Anda bertanya pada teman untuk mendapatkan referal. Anda percaya rekomendasi yang diberikan oleh orang yang Anda kenal, dan kenyataannya, dengan cara demikianlah kebanyakan orang mendapatkan pekerjaan. Jangan menunggu referal datang secara tiba-tiba, terapkan sistem proaktif untuk mendapatkan referal.
5. Saling mendukung
Membangun usaha yang Anda percayai serta menyasar pasar Anda. Libatkan mereka untuk mendukung produk dan jasa Anda didalam pemasaran mereka dan lakukan hal yang sama untuk mereka. Jika referal personal adalah ideal, dukungan adalah penutup kedua. Taktik ini bisa melipatgandakan pencapaian marketing tanpa biaya.
6. Memberi contoh/sample
Memberikan informasi daripada membuat klaim dramatis tentang apa yang bisa dilakukan produk Anda. Gunakan studi kasus untuk menginformasikan apa yang telah Anda lakukan, untuk siapa dan perbedaan yang diciptakan dalam kehidupan atau usaha mereka.
7. Personalisasi marketing Anda
Orang berbisnis dengan orang lain. Anda harus membantu prospek mengenal dan mempercayai Anda. Biarkan hasrat dan kepribadian Anda masuk dalam pemasaran dan profesionalisme Anda. Masukkan foto diri yang tersenyum, ditempat yang meyakinkan untuk dipasang di halaman pertama materi marketing Anda.
8. Mengurangi resiko yang diterima
Perhatian terbesar pembeli adalah seberapa baik kinerja produk atau jasa Anda. Memberikan garansi mungkin membantu tapi dalam banyak kasus ini tidak akan menciptakan penjualan. Perjelas nilai yang bisa Anda berikan dan nyatakan komitmen Anda untuk tidak hanya melihat senang, tapi juga puas dengan produk dan jasa Anda.
9. Mempermudah kontak
Jika Anda ingin klien bisa berhubungan dengan Anda, tunjukkan caranya. Cantumkan nomer telepon Anda di bagian atas materi marketing dan informasikan pada mereka untuk menghubungi Anda. Ketika Anda menghubungi mereka, berikan nomor telepon Anda sekali lagi di akhir pembicaraan dan sampaikan untuk menghubungi Anda. Jika Anda memiliki web site, cantumkan form kontak di bagian atas home page Anda .
10. Menjalin komunikasi
Orang yang Anda temui dan ajak bicara secara rutin biasanya adalah orang-orang yang paling Anda percayai. Komunikasi bukanlah satu-satunya bahan dalam mengembangkan kepercayaan, tapi ini merupakan hal yang sangat penting. Jika Anda menjual jasa atau produk high end, telepon pribadi adalah salah satu cara terbaik untuk menjawab pertanyaan prospek, dan membangun kepercayaan. Hubungi prospek atau klien secara rutin dan dapatkan feedback apa yang menjadi perhatian mereka.
Gunakan sepuluh taktik marketing ini untuk membangun kepercayaan dan Anda akan menemukan lebih banyak prospek membeli produk dan jasa Anda.
