A shocking fact was uncovered about small business marketing in a recent survey by flyingsolo.com.au. These SME (Small and Medium Enterprises) owners and self-employed professionals were asked,

"What were the three biggest challenges
facing your business in the last 12 months?"

The No. 1 Challenge

The TOP 10 Challenges identified were:

1. Finding clients/customers 43.9%
   
2. Wearing too many hats 40.9%

43.9% of 1,700 SME owners said that
their biggest challenge in their business is
FINDING NEW CUSTOMERS!

The Root of the Problem

Most SME owners and self-employed professionals started their business either revolving around their expertise or their passion. They have no intention of becoming the marketing expert that is required of them to effectively market their business! But yet, the fact remains that

80% of Success in Small Business Depends on You
Being Able to Effectively MARKET that Thing You Do!
Whether it is a small business marketing in Singapore, Malaysia, China or Asia, this fact applies to all SMEs and self-employed professionals.

You could have the Best Product in the world...
You could be a really professional Real Estate Agent...
You could be a brilliant Financial Advisor, helping people make savvy investments...
Bottomline is...if you don't have the time nor inclination to figure out small business marketing and develop a long-term marketing strategy, that is vital to attracting new clients and keeping existing clients on a consistent basis, you will be out of business very soon.

Process-Driven Marketing Strategy

We know how SME owners feel. You are probably way too involved in the day-to-day operations and fire-fighting daily challenges of your business. Sales presentations, order fulfillment, customer service, product development, business networking, attending trade shows, staff recruitment and training...the list goes on. Effective small business marketing seems so out of reach.

• You've tried flyers, surveys, asking for referrals, attending trade shows, but all these are either ineffective or take up way too much of your time.
• You thought about advertising on newspapers, TV and radio, but the costs are prohibitively high and the response rates are horrendously low.
• You got a web designer, spent a couple of thousand of dollars, only to get a nice flashy website with no visitors, and collecting digital dust.
• You've attended Internet marketing seminars, and got bombarded with selling eBooks, joining affiliate programs, selling membership sites...and learned nothing that is useful to YOUR traditional business, after spending thousands of dollars.

What Your Business Really Need is a
Process-Driven Marketing Strategy.

You need to automate your marketing using a process-driven marketing strategy to sort through your prospects systematically for you, while you spend time on more value adding activities like building relationship with your existing clients.
