Today I'm going to be showing you a 100% legal way you can spy
on your competition, and why, if you're not doing this, you're
really missing the boat on some potentially ground-breaking
earth-shattering marketing ideas.
I'm writing today's tip from over on the west coast of Florida,
just outside of Tampa, where my family and I will soon be
relocating.
And you know what?
Sometimes it's refreshing to be looking at the world from a
different vantage point -- you see things differently that way.
You know what I mean?
Are you consistently looking at your business from your
customers and your clients point of view?
And even more important, are you looking OUTSIDE your business
for new ideas, trends, and ways to market your business?
For example, purchasing goods and services from your
competitiors is one of the most basic things you can do, to get
new ideas for upselling... cross-selling... and back-end
products.
Investing your time and money in this incredibly easy way of
"spying" on your competition, is a sure-fire way of keeping you
on your toes... staying "hungry"... and making sure you aren't
doing anything stupid.
The first thing I ask all my consulting clients (and my
copywriting clients for that matter) is "Who's doing things in
your marketplace that's really kicking butt? What is their
marketing like? Who's really shaking things up?"
Look, one of my first copywriting mentors told me the easiest
way to make a fortune was to find something that's working, and
then just put a better spin on it using good (better) marketing.
He said that's like finding a race-horse that's always coming in
second and third, and then just giving it a little extra boost
of "energy", and all of a sudden, now you've got a consistent
winner.
So start looking at your business from the outside, because you
really DO see things differently when you're on the outside
looking in.
Now go sell something,
