If YES, then keep reading. These seven plus secret questions must be answered before you create your next marketing campaign.

  • What is my marketing plan.  What do I want my marketing to do? What goals will my marketing help me reach?  Is my marketing persistent? One shot marketing rarely works. Have weekly marketing tasks planned, and put them into action.

  • What do I what my future client to do? Exactly how do I want folks to respond?

  • What is the stopping power of my headline?  Does it emphasize a benefit? Is it compelling enough to grab even the most hurried person? Is my logo my headline.

  • What am I offering? Business is always a quid pro quo. This for that. (This goes back to the four questions you answered earlier). What does your marketing offer that will cause your future client to stop what they are doing and respond to your offer?

  • What is my call to action? If you don’t ask for a response, you will not get one.

  • What split tests have I tried? One headline against the other. One offer against the other. One call to action against the other. One will always out pull the other in response. Usually by a lot.

  • What is the focus of my marketing? Is it on me, my company, my products or my services. If so, your dead, because your future client only cares about him/herself. They only want to know what you can do for them. They don’t give a damn about you.
