Congratulations on picking up Offline Flyer Frenzy! This
system details a method that my business has been using for a
pretty long time now (nearly a year), but recently perfected
after much tweaking.
Let‟s go over exactly what we‟ll be covering then move onto the
meat:
1. This step is optional for this method. In Offline
Marketing Madness, I included a goal setting exercise,
this time the exercise is optional, but encouraged. It
was a separate download on your download page.
Here is a quote from Offline Marketing Madness
that I‟ve decided to include that I feel sums up
goals the best:
“Remember when you were in elementary
school and the teacher would give various
stars and awards for doing certain things?
These were implied goals, and students that
wanted the end result would do the things
required to get it. In essence, goals are
accomplished in the process, and the students
learn.
Your goals will be very similar, except you
won’t be getting gold stars, but instead a new
car, a nice new piece of jewelry, or just
cold hard cash in your bank account. This is
where determination and action drive comes
from, and we will inspire this in you first.”

2. I‟ll talk a bit about myself for those that don‟t
know me to start out. It‟s always good to know who
you‟re talking to.
3. The fear of „losing out‟ and how it is used widely in
marketing; internet marketing namely. We will also
cover exactly how we are using it in order to induce the
desired actions that we want.
4. How to close more often, as well as product &
customer qualification were both things that I
covered in Offline Marketing Madness. These have been
included again, almost verbatim as they were written in
Offline Marketing Madness, for two reasons:
a. They are crucial marketing principles as well
as very important to understand. If you read
my last product or something else that has
talked about this, it won‟t hurt you to review it
before moving on. It‟s an immensely important
topic.
b. Some of you may not have read my last
product, or may have never heard of this
concept, and this is included mainly for this
reason – so nobody is left out.
5. The flyer and its anatomy top to bottom will be
covered next, since it‟s important to understand your
tools and how they‟re built.
6. I will then cover the two ways to use the flyer as
well as each in detail. In this mix of this, I will reveal to
you what your burning goal should be throughout this
entire process, and the reason why many fail when
doing this.
7. Finally, I will cover the meeting, things to consider
when packaging services, as well as how to ask for the
sale. Then I‟ll wrap it up, and move you onto the
outsourcing guide.
Then it‟s up to you to get out there, TAKE ACTION, and land
some clients. The system you have in your hands was
responsible for over $16,000 for me in the month of June
5
alone, and as of writing this has started to bring in more money
in recurring income since the start of July.
I‟m just like all of you, in
reality. I‟ve been on the path you
are on, I‟ve been where you
are out. Regardless of my success now, I was once upon a
time an unsuccessful person. I wasn‟t a professional web
designer or SEO expert. I wasn‟t the owner of my own
business, and I surely didn‟t drive the cars or have the stuff I
have now. However, one thing I believe has set me apart
from everybody else I know that does, or tries to do, what
I do for a living and fails:
When I begin a business
venture, when I attempt a
new marketing technique, I
always have a plan and a
DEFINITE EXACT amount of
success I plan to obtain from
it.
In other words: When you start this
method (after you have READ and
UNDERSTAND it) write down a step by step action plan for
yourself, starting at Day 1 and ending at Day X (whatever you
deem necessary time wise). Then write down exactly how
many flyers you will hand out, how many clients you want to
land, and an EXACT dollar amount you plan to achieve from
this – THEN and ONLY then, start on the plan RIGHT AWAY.
Day and night, when waking and before sleeping, read your
plan to yourself out LOUD, believe it, drive it into your
subconcious, because eventually your subconcious WILL
achieve what you have written – when and only when – it
believes it is true.
My name is Brenden Clerget. I am a 23 year old web design
and SEO Professional, as well as a part-time internet marketer.
I started in internet niches, and have moved to local marketing,
only because of the gold mine that is constantly available. I‟ve
seriously been pursuing my efforts for five years, although as
young as age 16 I began to sell websites to friends and
acquaintances.
6
This method was created in order to give you only another tool
in your repertoire of offline marketing tools. Use this as one
method, not your ONLY method, of garnishing clients.
I have a fiancé, two beautiful Pomeranians, Subi and Ozzie, and
can‟t wait to get married. I aspire to be a professional poker
player, as I was briefly in college.
The other side of me is a businessman, inside and out deep to
my heart. I am constantly evolving new methods of getting
business, trying to stay ahead of the curve, testing, re-testing
and evaluating my tests for their effectiveness. I develop
systems for myself, and then hire people to do them for me. I
do what it takes to succeed.
This is one of the most
powerful fears, as well as
marketing methods that is
currently used today. It is in
fact, often used in internet marketing.
Some of you may already know what I‟m talking about.
Scarcity, in the sense of,
“This won‟t be available forever,” or more specifically,
“This WSO closes on MMMMMMM, DD, at XX:XX”
are both perfect examples of how the fear of losing out or
missing out is used in internet marketing. This can also be
translated to the offline world, which is how we will be using it.
How exactly are we going to use it? If you‟ve already taken
a peek at the flyer (probably 99.9% of you) then you can see a
couple things:
1. There is a box in the middle, called the envy box, that
we will cover later, but this box is one major generator
of the fear of losing out.
2. The coupon at the bottom has an expiry date. Many
business owners that will eventually purchase from you,
will do so much faster because the coupon expires at the
end of the month. They fear losing out on the discount.
Both of these will be covered shortly in more detail.

This also might be review for
you if you have Offline
Marketing Madness. Move
on past this section, or re-
read it for refresher. It‟s
good information and will help you land more clients more
often. If it isn‟t, pay close attention to this part as it‟s going to
help you in every other offline venture that you take part in.
I have people regularly ask me things like,
“How come I get a lot of appointments but they just don‟t seem
interested when I show up?” Another one I‟ve heard often is,
“Nobody is interested in SEO, I can‟t get anybody to buy.”
Can‟t, won‟t, don‟t, aren‟t – these are all words that
aren‟t in a salesperson‟s vocabulary. You WILL FAIL if
you use these words.
Anybody that has been in sales knows that people buy when
certain conditions are met. To put it in the MOST SIMPLE
TERMS that I can, there are only a handful of reasons people
don‟t buy.
These reasons are:
1. They don‟t understand the value behind what you are
offering or how it directly benefits them.
2. They aren‟t a qualified buyer, in other words, they
don‟t have the need you think they have, or don‟t
UNDERSTAND that they have this need.
3. They understand the value, they understand their need,
are a qualified buyer, but you just simply didn‟t ask
for the sale.
Straight up, those are the reasons people don‟t buy. If
you are meeting with potential clients and they aren‟t buying,
they will fall into one of those categories upwards of 99% of
the time. Rarely there is another issue or objection, but these
are things that can be overcome.
I‟ve included an overcoming objections guide from my Offline
Optimizer product, and I expect you to study and use it as
you meet with your clients. It will increase your closing rate
significantly. I‟m saying again: STUDY AND USE IT.
8
I‟ve used this analogy before, but I‟m going to use it again
because it‟s perfect.
Car dealerships and website sales are VASTLY similar. Let me
explain how it correlates to what we‟re doing.
When a customer enters a car lot, the first thing the salesman
starts doing is what is commonly called building rapport. In
other words, he starts asking about their family, profession,
and their hobbies. They don‟t do this because they are
necessarily directly interested in these things personally (sad,
but true, I used to sell cars) but are rather interested because
it will help them sell the person.
Here are the two reasons they do this first:
1. They need the customer to understand his or her own
needs and wants. There is no better way to do this than
have the customer state them clearly, using words, to
the salesman. By telling the salesman about their life,
they are telling him basically what the car needs to do.
If they camp often, they need an SUV or something with
storage. If they have children, they need more seats. If
they are have a long commute, they need good gas
mileage. These are things that poor salesman ask
straight out, instead of deducing from the things
they are told.
Business owners will do the same thing, if you can make
conversation correctly, you will not only build rapport,
but you will put yourself in a position to offer services
they need.
In specific terms, this is called product
qualification. This is the “what”.
2. They need the customer to SEE THE VALUE in the
vehicle being offered, and connect that to understand
that the buying decision is then justified. It meets their
needs, and therefore, they now have a desire to
purchase. This is the “why”.
If business owners understand and can see the
value, they will buy. End of story.
9
Now the car salesman takes the prospect for a test drive. This
gets the customer interested because they can feel what they
can have, know they want it and it will fit their lifestyle, and at
this point, if everything previous was done correctly – the sale
is a lock.
If this isn‟t the car for the customer, they just switch to another
one, and drive again. Eventually the customer‟s eye glimmers
with excitement and a purchase is imminent.
No matter what – there‟s still one more thing to be done
though: They have to qualify the buyer. This method will
teach you how to do this with business owners.
If you‟ve ever purchased a car you know the first thing that
takes place is a credit application. They don‟t want to talk
numbers before they know you can actually BUY the car being
offered. We will be qualifying our customers by finding people
that already have shown an interest in SEO and the market we
are working in – but need a little extra push.
Maybe this will tie it in for you a bit better:
The What: SEO services and
other internet marketing
services that we can offer them.
Customer: Offline business
owners and independent
contractors in your area
The Why: We know they are
close to ranking to the first
page, but need us to actually
get them there. They also have
a need for these services,
because they will make them
MORE MONEY, and with our
flyer we show them that their
competition is doing this.
Value Justification: They
already will have a website (in
most cases) and be close to the
first page, but their direct
competition is succeeding with
SEO, while they aren‟t. Plus you
have other things to help them
garnish more profit.
Product qualified, customer qualified, boom.
You should have a pretty good grasp on the entire qualification
topic or have had a nice refresher. Now we move onto the
meat of the system, the flyer.
10
Many offliners often overlook or
choose to write off the potential
of marketing with flyers.
Maybe this is because they
work in such a „high tech‟ field that they feel it‟s too basic of an
idea. However, there is a reason that flyers still exist and
are used.
When designed right, flyers can be more effective than
television commercials per view, and in most cases, they
are.
Let‟s break down my flyer you‟ve been given.
You‟ve seen the term hook or headline before. Our headline is
similar: it asks a question that engages the reader. In this
case, the question is, “Want More Business?” which in nearly
99.8% of the cases this is read, will be yes. This is good for
us, positive answers = positive results.
There are also a couple icons, that say results guaranteed and
FAST ROI right next to the hook. This implants safety right off
the bat, and interests them, because if it‟s FAST and Results
are Guaranteed, then how can they lose?
You then quote Google search volumes in their city in order
to hook them on a number basis of how many clients they are
missing out on. You then state the obvious, they‟re not being
found, or focused on.
11
This is exactly what it sounds like, a box designed to induce
envy and jealousy (both very powerful emotions) in the
person we‟re trying to land.
This box shows them that they aren‟t getting business, that
they COULD BE GETTING, and their direct competitors ARE
receiving that business.
Then we use imagery and NLP by asking if they‟ve heard of any
of those businesses (which they will have, it‟s their
competition) and saying the traffic could be theirs, it makes
them envision the end result of being ranked and receiving
more business.
We‟ve connected the word yes, with the result of being
ranked, which is important. This is the second time they‟ve
said yes mentally while reading the flyer.
Some business owners might be stubborn at this point,
however, they will keep reading, they won‟t throw this away
until they‟ve read it all and decided it‟s not for them, or read it
all and decided to contact you.
This fact is nothing more than a way to show the necessity of
being ranked, and that 71% of all consumers use Google to find
local businesses at least once a month.
It justifies our service, with one sentence. Now we need to add
authority to our flyer, some type of subconscious feeling
that, everything will be alright if they go with us.
Authority images? What are those?
12
This section starts with a question, why aren‟t you the one
they‟re finding? This implants necessity to be that person
in the pattern that we‟ve introduced information. Then we
state what we can do for them in the way of services. They will
glance at those images on the left, however, before reading the
rest of this section.
This does something important: Mentally connects our
business with the feelings they have about those
businesses. Not one business owner thinks of Google or
YouTube or Facebook as lame second-rate companies. They
associate them with large, blue chip stock names that are trust
worthy. We‟ve subconsciously just fit ourselves into that
profile.
This lines purpose is to get them to say yes again mentally
before offering our contact information, coupon and final call to
action.
This section is our contact info with a coupon and final call to
action. There is nothing special about our info box, just our
information so they CAN call us back or email us. The coupon,
however, has one sneaky scarcity tactic, the expiry date.
I‟ll explain how exactly to choose the date, but for now, know
that it induces people to buy like crazy.
13
We then offer a final call to action, after offering a coupon and
our information. They‟ve said yes to our questions three
times in the flyer, have associated us with necessity and
authority, and now we‟re asking for their business.
And THAT, folks, is the anatomy of the flyer. Now let‟s talk
about the two ways you can use this flyer.
There are two distinct ways to use this flyer, as well as some
other ones I‟ve left out. Feel free to do what you want, but
keeping simplicity and actionable content in my mind, I
included these two methods.
1. The first way to use the flyer is face to face. This will
involve you taking a printed out version of this flyer and
physically handing it to somebody, and trying to land a
meeting (more about this in a moment as well).
Out of the two methods, I had a moderately higher
success rate with this one, however, both did well.
2. The second method is direct mail. You package this up,
stick a stamp on it, wait for a call, follow up, and hope
for the best.
Obviously there‟s less rapport building going on
here, so it may not work as well, but it does allow for
much more clients to be contacted, and ultimately a
chance for more sales to be made if perfected.
Many people are going to ask me the following question so I
figure I should just answer it here.
Which one should you use?
Do both, and see which one works better for you.
You have some options
when it comes to preparing
this flyer. We‟ll walk
through the entire thing step by step.
14
You need to pick a niche in order
to fill out the sentence in the top
right. Here‟s some advice I have
for picking a niche. It is
verbatim from a niche picking
guide I wrote for my employees and sales people (as well as
been in some of my other products):
Here are a few truths about 95% of niches:
1. Offline niches are soft. You will be able to get the
first spot on Google with solid on-site SEO and NONE to
VERY LITTLE off-site SEO. This means your local area is
a GOLD MINE.
2. There is a prospect in EVERY NICHE. Period.
3. The niche doesn‟t REALLY matter, however some
niches are better than others.
What makes a niche better than other niches? They will
meet some or all of the following conditions:
Their profit per customer is LARGE. Every
customer you can land them is worth a LOT and will
justify the prices we will be charging. Does this mean
that a hair salon selling $50-$100 services isn‟t worth
it? Absolutely not. Why? Because…
Their repeat customer percentage and customer
retention is high. This means that the customers will
come back multiple times (at least 3) in a year, and
provide them with a high lifetime value per customer,
which is just as beneficial. If neither of these apply,
you‟re probably dealing with some type of retail
establishment, and even if not, you can still work with
them if…
They have an opportunity to build a web-store or
directly profit from activities completed on the
website that you will be doing SEO or other
services for. This will open possibilities of you taking
profit sharing percentages. I helped a local T-shirt
company that specializes in sports uniforms take their
business online, and I‟m reaping benefits of a 10%
commission each month on sales made (not profit) on
the website. They do over $10,000 a month in sales.
15
Are these points not connecting well for you? Don‟t
worry.
Here is a list of businesses I suggest starting with that will be
receptive businesspeople that UNDERSTAND how crucial
marketing is to their business:
Accountants and CPAs
Lawyers (I specifically did work for a lawyer in
return for him writing up all my contracts for me.
He did all my legal work, and then after a few
months, signed on to keep paying me. Have them
draft contracts if you work with them – and then
ask them to explain them to you, as they are
legally obligated to do so.)
Mechanics
Auto Body Repair shops
Independent Car Dealerships (Most big name car
dealerships do this work internally and you have
to jump through too many hoops, trust me)
Dentists
Doctors
Chiropractors (GOLD MINE!)
Construction Companies
Carpentry & Remodel Services
Plumbers
Restaurants & Bars
Hair Salons & Stylists
Plastic Surgeons
Specialty Shops (specifically smoke shops)
And on and on and on until the end of time.
I‟ve laid out the hard work for you. These niches are some
of the best, but not the only ones. If you don‟t have luck with
any of those, try this:
Head over to YP.com (YellowPages), leave the business
category blank, and enter your city/state as shown below:
16
Click find, and you will be shown a list of a couple hundred
popular categories in your town. If those aren‟t enough, you
can get EVEN MORE categories by clicking the “A-F, G-K…”
headers at the top of the list.
Pick a niche.
You need to pick out some
prospects.
Read the steps above about
using YP.com, that is the easiest way to find them. Pull
up your niche, find all the prospects in the area in your niche,
and copy them into notepad, or leave the window open.
It‟s time to think logically: Let‟s say we‟re looking for a
plumber in Olympia, WA. What would you search for on
Google? Here‟s a list of keywords I came up with:
Olympia Plumber
Olympia Plumbing Service
Plumber in Olympia
Search each of those keywords in Google and write down the
top 4 results (whether it is places listings or organic) and then
do NOT use this flyer on ANY of them. We are targeting
people outside the top 4. I‟ve contacted a couple #4‟s, landed
one, lost one, but had no success within the top 3 I can speak
of. You can try #4 if you want, but prepare yourself for tons of
resistance.
Search those keywords in the External Google Keyword Tool.
Use Exact or Phrase match, do not use broad, and now fill in
the box in the top right of the flyer with the total of the
search volumes from ALL of the keywords. Use Global
search volumes as some people will be searching those terms
from proxies or VPNs, be located in the area, but not in local
search volume Google is showing you.
I use the total search volume across all keywords because it
accurately represents search volumes for long term total
keyword placement.
Long term total keyword placement is the long term
expected search volume per month for all keywords you
plan on eventually ranking for. This is the best measure of
search volume for long term projects, as it most accurately
represents search volume that you will experience for a
17
majority of the site‟s life once established, instead of only for
one keyword.
You very well may only get 100-200 or less searches for
these keywords. You might be saying: “Well that‟s nothing!”
Let me explain to you how vastly wrong you are.
Remember the clients we are targeting will either have high
profit per customer, high customer retention, or ability to
expand to online sales.
Let‟s consider 100 extra visitors per month for a lawyer.
If only 5% of those convert into clients, they‟re getting 5 new
clients a month.
If they charge an average retainer of $2500, and average profit
of $10,000 per representation, they‟re adding $62,500 to their
bottom line each month. Is this worth it to be charged $1997
up front with $997 recurring commissions? ABSOLUTELY.
You will be building a client list,
before filling out the Envy Box.
Go back to the Google Search
Results you pulled up to find
the top listings previously.
Enter all your potential clients into the lead tracking
spreadsheet starting at #5 (or #4) and going down to at
least the bottom of page one (I do the end of page two). Go
back to YP.com and try to find more businesses with websites
that are established but
lacking of SEO or other design.
It will be YOUR JOB to show
them what they‟re missing out
on and that their #7 first page
ranking is probably doing jack
shit for them.
Here‟s a diagram for you:
This is from a study done by
Cornell University. It‟s also a
heat map by color, red being
hottest, black being coolest,
for where the eyes go when
18
something is searched. Over 50% of clicks go to the first
SERP result on average. This is normally higher for local
searches.
You can find this diagram at:
http://www.seoresearcher.com/distribution-of-clicks-on-
googles-serps-and-eye-tracking-analysis.htm
It will be beneficial to show this to business owners if they
seem skeptical. It‟s proof, hardcore proof. #7 on Google?
Who cares?! #8? You do worse than #9! You get the
picture.
You need to fill out the Envy
Box. Take the top two or three
businesses from the Google
search results for the keywords
that you thought up, and put
them into the box.
You get to decide whether to just list businesses in the
envy box or put logos of the businesses. I recommend the
latter. If you don‟t have Illustrator of Photoshop, print out
logos for the three businesses, size them down using Gimp2
(free graphics editor, Google “Gimp graphic editor”) and print
them out. Slap them on the printed flyer you have, then re-
photo copy it with them taped on there, you will have a flat
flyer then with the logos.
Fill in your contact information
on the bottom of the page.
Sixth, fill out the expiry date for
the coupon.
If it‟s before the 15th of the
month that you are handing
these out/mailing them, make the date the end of the month.
If it is past the 15th of the month you are doing this, make it
the 10th of the next month.
These timeframes have shown to be the best converting out of
our tests, however feel free to try out others.
… and the flyer is ready to go!
19
Many people, my salespeople
included had this goal:
“This flyer is going to land me a
lot of clients and make me a lot
of money (or commission)!”
Terrible goal, here is a better one:
“This flyer is an amazingly effective vessel to landing meetings
with the people that read it, and I plan on getting as many
meetings as I can so I can make the most money off the people
that receive this flyer”
That is an AMAZING goal.
In short:
Your overwhelming, burning desire and subconscious
goal should be to land as many MEETINGS as possible
with people who you contact.
That means when you are speaking face to face, or constructing
mail to send, you will keep in mind that you simply need to
transition from this being your first contact with the person to
first meeting.
You aren‟t trying to get a check when you pass out the flyer,
you are trying to set up a meeting, so you can further
educate yourself about your potential client‟s website and
market, and offer them the best value, as well as make the
most profit.
Now I‟ll talk briefly about the two different methods,
how they differ, and how each one has its benefits.
Once you have the prospects
picked out and the flyer
created and printed, it‟s time to approach each of the
prospects. Your first option is face to face.
There are two ways to do this. Cold and Hot. Each has
advantages and disadvantages, and you will simply have to
decide which one sounds more appealing to you.
20
The cold approach
involves simply going
out to each business
you found cold, walking in, and talking to the receptionist and
trying to get past her to the person that makes decision, or at
least get your flyer past her.
There isn‟t much advice to be given. Some businesses have
different policies and you can simply ask for so-and-so, and
some will request you give them the flyer and they will pass it
off.
This is the pattern I normally use, feel free to try it out, and
perhaps modify it to each situation:
I walk in cold and say something like:
“I was wondering if the owner is in…”
Or
“Is there a manager available?”
If I get the owner, I just ask him for a few minutes of his time,
no sales pitch guaranteed, and say I have something he would
be interested in looking at.
Normally they‟re receptive of the request, and if so, show them
the flyer piece by piece and close with,
“When‟s a good time to meet to talk about this at
length?” Close the meeting, and done.
If he isn‟t receptive of the initial request, say something like:
“Would it be okay if I left this with you, and you can
decide what to do with it?”
I‟ve never had anybody say no to that, and in fact, many
business owners who go this route end up asking more
questions than the people who let you show it to them initially.
At all costs, try to set up a meeting. Grant Cardone has
GREAT sales tapes out there, and I recommend looking at
them if you are interested. He focuses on car sales, but he has
materials that cover more general topics, and you simply can‟t
lose with his stuff.
If you‟re not a fan of this approach, perhaps try the other one,
the hot approach.
21
The hot approach, in my
mind, is much tougher
simply because many
people are poor at cold calling. If you absolutely dread it but
can fathom speaking to someone face to face that you‟ve
probably never met, then go with the cold approach.
In the hot approach, you call each prospect before you
go in.
Many of my sales people do this, in order to have the meeting
time set up when they go in with the flyer. They bring the flyer
and a laptop (or iPad, iPhone etc) and show the prospect some
proof of the entire flyer.
They practically read the flyer off to the prospect and anything
that can be pulled up on Google or otherwise, they show it to
them, while explaining the flyer.
Close rates for meetings set up this way, are MUCH higher,
usually result in much less resistance, and make more money
long term.
This is because the prospect is presold, much like if they had
visited a squeeze page, and are ready to buy what you have to
offer.
That is really the only difference. This isn‟t a cold calling
course, so I‟m not going to list a ton of scripts in this guide,
HOWEVER, if you read the Overcoming Objections guide
that I included from Offline Optimizer – then you will be in
great shape when calling people for hot approaches.
This method has two main
benefits over the face to face
method. First off, you will
never have to waste time or
breath speaking at length to somebody that isn‟t interested
because they will not contact you back or be receptive on the
phone when you follow up if they‟re not. Second, your
clients will be much easier to work with simply because
they are clients that came to YOU and this means that the NLP
and methods in the flyer worked how they should have. This
means you are positioned in a position of power and
authority, and in general, they will like you more.

First let‟s talk about preparing
the mail. Many people will
simply put this flyer in an
envelope, put all the addresses
on the envelopes, put stamps on the envelope, and mail them
all and wait. This method will get you very poor results
compared to ANYTHING else we have talked about.
You have options! You can call to let them know there is
something on the way, you can bundle this flyer with other
materials, other mail, other things, and send them to
businesses. Here‟s a couple examples:
1. Perhaps you have clients already, or visit businesses
frequently that you like. Ask those businesses or clients
if they‟ll give you some coupons to give to new clients,
they get more exposure, and you get a bonus to
throw in. Put these in with the flyer when you send it,
giving something away free is a great way to build trust.
2. Staple your business card to the top left corner of the
flyer, this will help show that you had your hands on it
before it was sent out and took a bit extra time. It‟s an
unspoken touch that helps.
Another thing I have done in the past is write a note by hand
on the back of the flyer. You simply say something like:
“Dear Owner of _______,
Here is some information I thought you might be interested in.
If you are interested in talking at length, call me at the number
listed on the business card and the flyer.
I know I could help your business expand and grow, and in the
recent market, I know we could all use more business.
Talk with you soon!
<Name>
<Number Again>”
It‟s simple and effective and shows you took a few
seconds to be sincere, it helps, a LOT!
23
This is a term that I use to refer
to mail that you send to
prospects that is sent in bigger
envelopes, with plenty of other advertising pieces inside of it.
You could throw in some brochures that explain your business
services, a flyer about your referral program (if you have one),
a picture of you, testimonials, anything you can think of.
This is more time consuming, but consider doing this if you
DID a “Hot Mailing” where you contacted them to let them
know you were sending them some information.
Clunky mail works great, but is more expensive, and should
only be used under circumstances where there is interest
already – simply to avoid throwing money out the window
on putting it together.
I‟ve included a lead tracker in this
system that was similar to the one I
offered in Offline Marketing Madness.
I made a few changes so it fits
this system. If you have the old
one feel free to use it, or use this
new one that better matches the steps you are taking and the
system you are doing. It was included to help you stay
organized and up your chances of success.
USE IT! Be sure when you send mail or make
contact, you list it in the lead tracker!
About a week after you mail out all your flyers and mail, give
each business a call. Ask questions like:
“Hey I am <Name> from <Business Name>, and I was
wondering if the mail I sent last week concerning your guys
website and SEO ever got delivered to the person in charge?”
You‟ll normally either be talking to someone who can tell you,
or be transferred to someone who can tell you, a lot of times,
the person in charge. You didn‟t ask to talk with them, you
asked a question that directly concerns them, and often, this
is all it takes to talk with them.
Once you get them, just chat it up! Ask if they got the mail,
what they think, when a good time to talk at length would be.
Just go for the meeting! Don‟t forget, IT IS YOUR
OVERWHELMING BURNING OBSESSION to get that
meeting!
24
There is some information in
this section that overlaps
Offline Marketing Madness as well, but once again, it doesn‟t
hurt to hear it again.
Obviously, the sooner you close the sale, the better. If the
business owner gives you the time of day when you hand off
the flyer then TAKE IT and move right into the meeting then.
I said earlier, your goal should be to get the meeting, but I
never said don‟t get the meeting on the first shot!
There‟s a term in sales, it‟s ABC – Always Be Closing.
Always, ALWAYS keep the sale in mind and be making actions
that can directly relate in you completing the sale. In this
system‟s case, the actions that will directly relate to sales for
you, is getting a meeting.
Remember something else:
If they are meeting with you, you‟ve accomplished the
qualification process, and they are interested. You just
have to get them to a price point where the value is
justified, and then ask for the sale. You should close
upwards of 90% of your meetings once you get good at
this. The sales funnel does the pre-sell for you, so the
hard work is done.
Some things to consider when working
together a package for a client and
preparing for a meeting:
Do they need a fresh website redesign?
A lot of websites are ugly! If there‟s a chance for you to
sell them a website with the SEO, do it. However, if the
idea of doing a fresh WordPress design from a $27
template is daunting, don‟t offer it. If they want it,
make sure you have a provider lined up before hand to
outsource it to just in case. There‟s no reason to say, “I
can‟t” when it can easily be “You can” if you charge
someone and pay someone else to do it.
Even if you don‟t do design personally, you can buy a
WordPress template for $47 and have it put together
and built with all the pages for under $200 normally.
You can charge upwards of $1,000 for something like
25
this, so it‟s just money in your pocket!
Are there any other services you can offer?
Easiest way to answer this is to go down the list on the
flyer and see which ones apply to them. Once you have
a meeting, do research!
Do they have a Facebook page, a Twitter?
Would they benefit from either?
Do they need an optin list and some type of newsletter?
Could they offer coupons through the same list?
Use your imagination here - you can run this angle
many of different ways.
Other services you can offer include logo redesign,
content creation (for more in-site content) and many
more. If you want to keep it simple and just go
SEO at first, that‟s ABSOLUTELY FINE! Don‟t feel
the need to upsell them now, because you can always
upsell them later – remember, they WILL be paying
you for a while. Also, upselling later means you
don‟t have to work a bundle deal and give
discounts, you‟ll make more later on for the same
service.
Offer hosting to the client. There‟s a big yellow star
next to this for a reason:
If you pick up a “Reseller” package from HostGator, you
can host as many domains under your plan as you‟d
like. This means you can get access to wherever their
domain is located, redirect their nameservers to your
Reseller package, and get another $19, $29, $whatever,
per month just by hosting their website.
This is normally a LONG TERM (5+ years) profit for
you because they just won‟t swap out the hosting
very often if you provide good uptime and service.
They have better things to do, and why would they
crap on their marketing guy and his hosting?
Offer webmaster services for $97 or $197 or
$whatever a month. Offer to keep the posts updated on
their website for them and all they have to do is email
26
you with what they‟d like you to do.
Set up a separate email for this, something like
[email protected] and redirect it to a gmail
or something so you can keep track of all your clients
requests in real time and figure out what they need.
Many businesses will go this route with you, simply to
take more work load off their back. If you‟re bringing
them in money, it will seem “free” to them because
of the success they‟ve garnished from marketing
through you.
ALWAYS QUOTE HIGH. If you want to get $1,497 up
front and $497 a month, quote them at $1,997 up front
and $997 a month. This way once they get sticker
shock, you can say something like:
“I‟m looking to really help you out here and build a
relationship, so how about I knock off $500 off the
up-front cost, and give you 50% off the monthly
recurring for LIFE if you sign up with me today.”
You can also use this with a website redesign sale.
Let‟s say you quoted $1,997 for SEO up-front, and $997
a month. Tell them, if they buy a website, you will do
the SEO for $997 up front and $497 a month, and the
website will only run them $997 instead of $1,997.
Knowing you‟re probably going to outsource the website
for $250, you‟ve made another $750 in profit, upped
your overall up-front revenue on the sale to $1,747, and
still receive $497 a month while framing the sale to
look like an AWESOME deal.
It‟s all about pacing and leading, and framing the
conversation correctly.
Bring your TOOLS! I‟m talking about a laptop, an
iPad, iPhone, ANYTHING you can show them in
real time what‟s going on.
Perhaps the client needs you to show them the things
they‟re doing wrong.
Make sure you have done a brief analysis of the website
and what kind of things need to change on their SEO.
27
Did you check for the keyword in the title? Do they
have meta keywords? Is the content structured with H1
tags? All this stuff is basic SEO, but normally isn‟t done.
Be sure not to give away so much they can go
hand it to “their guy” and do it themselves. I‟ve
had this happen, big mistake.
They might want you to show them the search volume
info and SERPs in front of their face. Doing these things
will improve the relationship you guys have, up the trust
they have in you, and as well prove that you know what
you‟re doing.
You might even stumble upon an upsell you
missed! They will tell you what they want, so just
LISTEN and react!
It is crucial to have tools, especially with this flyer
method!
Book the meeting at a neutral location, or at your
office. Never meet at their place of business
unless it is the moment you have handed them the
flyer and they say,
“Hey let‟s talk in my office about this.”
This comes from my psychology background. You don‟t
want to meet at their place of business because
mentally, they will be in a familiar place in a position of
power. You don‟t want this. You want an even playing
field, or even one in your favor. However, if they
offer up the meeting, it means your authority
volume is high.
Authority volume is a term that we spoke about in my
psychology class, that my professor kind of made up.
However it makes sense:
Let‟s say authority is measured by the variable A, and if
it was a number 1-10,000, it would be the total amount
of respect that somebody has for somebody else. 1 is
low, and 10,000 is high.
Let‟s say that T represents the total time you‟ve known
someone. Let‟s also say that V represents authority
28
volume.
If you plug those into this equation: V = A/T
V equals A divided by T
Then you get the authority volume. Basically this
term means that as time progresses, the total
amount of authority and respect you have for
someone levels out from
“More than you have for yourself” to
“The same as yourself” or “Less than yourself”.
In general, you‟re more respectful to people you don‟t
know, than someone you‟ve known forever.
Now how does this play into the flyer system?
You‟ve JUST MET this business owner. You gave him
the flyer. He wants to meet. DO IT! The authority
volume is HUGE for you and it levels out the playing
field between the two of you as far as the meeting place
and leverage goes.
However, in GENERAL, try to meet at a neutral location.
Try to book a lunch or round of golf, something that
will keep you with them for more than 45 minutes and
allow a real friendship to develop, so that you can
garnish the trust it requires to make this sale.
If you meet at their place of business, you better believe
that once they hear one thing that slightly turns them
off, they might say, “You know what, I don‟t think this is
for me” but when you‟re at lunch or golfing with them,
they will NEVER just get up and walk out on you.
Use the contract I‟ve included. It‟s a basic
contract I use for my SEO clients. It‟s sufficient and
easy to understand. You won‟t get burned this way from
verbal agreements.
END ALL RULE: ASK FOR THE SALE!
29
You‟ll know when it‟s time. Once you‟ve answered
questions, just re-quote the numbers. Remember, you
are in a position of power, you have the product they
want, you have a qualified lead, and you have social
proof. They need this. You have the upper hand.
Build value until you feel like the business owner
is almost finishing your sentences for you.
Be their hero, use the price quoting we described
above. This is where the overcoming objections guide
REALLY comes in handy, because you will face most
your objections right here. This is why we quoted
high, because we can drop it now to impulse into a
sale.
If they say, “So how do we get the ball rolling?” you
simply say, “A business check would be great, fill it out
to ________________.” Collect, rinse, repeat.
You can also use any of the following:
“Let me get a payment link and subscription set up
through PayPal and we can get this going right now.”
“You give me some money, and I turn around and give
your business a whole ton more… let‟s both get paid
(with a smile!)”
“We accept all forms of payment, just don‟t pay with
pennies, please? ”
Long story short, the hard part is over, just ask for the
money already.
One other thing I also mention in almost every one of my
products:
When you start to land clients, collect checks and cash in,
REWARD YOURSELF!
You know that new pair of shoes, headphones, new shirt you
want? Go buy it for yourself. Every time you make a sale,
reward yourself with something!
This is called conditioning. It will condition your mind to
associate the work with positive results and outcomes, thus
30
increasing your productivity and focus when working on your
business.
I ALWAYS reward myself after cutting a deal – because it‟s only
right.
You only live once, and I promise, you can‟t take it with you
when you die. So spend some of it.
That‟s it! That is how one
flyer, coupled with a little
preparedness and effort, brought me over $16,000 in a month!
Not too hard is it? Be sure that if you have questions, you

didn‟t catch it on the download page or WSO:
