1 of 2: PUBLIC SPEAKING –Attract More Buyers at ZERO COST Even While You Sleep [This is Like Having ROBOCOP On Steroids as Your 24/7 Business Marketing Manager]

Imagine having new buyers/clients regularly discovering (and reaching out to you), without your spending on adverts, fliers or paid business promotion channels in general?

I’ve done THAT for YEARS in selling my unique range of products/services to high profile buyers in and out of Africa.

See proofs (photos and screenshots) along with tips you can use, in the rest of this article.

[HINT: This newsletter issue features 2 TRUE, and very recent/interesting stories. But it’s a bit LONG. Don’t have time to read online? Request a FREE downloadable PDF version by sending email to me with “ROBOCOP” as the “title” via tayo at tksola dot com]

ONE EXAMPLE: Just yesterday (Sunday 1st Nov. 2015), I met for the first time with a Farm CEO – Mr. Tunde O.<surname removed for privacy>- who bought my Ration Formulator Software and Handbook bundle (for N20,500.0) about 4 months ago.

That happened at a Feed Mill in Oko Oba area of Agege, owned by Engr. Olopade (an elderly but very knowledgeable man) – who I’d also NEVER met before that day!

[NB: The photos of the 3 of us – shown below were taken, at my request (after the session ended) by Tunde’s “madam” who accompanied him in his car to the venue]

However, the story behind our being able to meet up (3 total strangers!) on a Sunday at a feed mill owned by one of us is a real testimony to the power of intelligent Web Marketing….

****Starts****

If you’re a regular reader, you’ll know I’ve been connecting with past buyers of my Feed Formulation Products so they can attend my on-demand FREE workshop

But it’s not been easy to put things together.

Many of those who’d indicated interest had chosen widely differing dates, making it virtually impossible to get the minimum of 5 persons required to justify doing a run of the group training/workshop.

So, I decided to offer them the opportunity to come down on an agreed date for a one-on-one session (still FREE) and/or to buy my Home Study Feed Formulation Video Tutorials DVD.

Most of those who’d indicated interest chose the DVD option. One is yet to get back to me.

But Tunde O.

made it clear he wanted the one-on-one option, as well as the DVDs.

So we agreed Saturday (31st October 2015) which he’d chosen.

However, when I called him on Friday (30th October 2015) he told he was at the time in Portharcourt, and would be taking the next flight back to Lagos, but that he had an unexpected change of plans, and so would not be able to make it for Saturday.

In case you wonder, we were trying so hard because he’d told me he would be going on an overseas trip (he’s a Geophysicist and runs the farm part-time with help from relatives and trusted hands), so this FREE window was the best shot we had – and we’d been planning this for close to a month!

Knowing that, I was not ready to let all our hard work go to waste…:-))

We talked a bit more, and eventually agreed to try and see if we could meet for a short version of the session on Friday by 1 p.m. Our projection that his 45 minute flight would end before then if it took off on schedule.

Unfortunately, by the time his flight arrived from PortHarcourt, where he’d gone for an event, it was already 3p.m – and we were not too keen on braving Lagos traffic to the Oko Oba end, where the feed mill to be used as venue is.

So I began making calls to CEOs of feed mills in the area to ask if they opened Sundays.

They all said NO.

I’d known that would be the likely answer…

But I’m always a never-say-never kind of person. So I began calling feed mill CEOs to ask if they would consider opening briefly & explained our peculiar need.

It took almost all day as I did other work, but last night at 10p.m, I finally reached one CEO (Engr. Olopade) who graciously accepted to personally open the feed mill for us at 4p.m the next day – Sunday, since the mill would naturally NOT be open for work, and the staff would not be around!

I recall telling Tunde – and Chuks – another past buyer that I’ve met once that I’d resolved to find a way to thank Engr. Olopade, for being so flexible minded and obviously humble/unassuming. His kind are truly rare in my experience.

It might interest you to know that I called up to 15 CEOs whose numbers I got from online directories, but NONE said YES to my outrageous proposal…

My never-say-die attitude kept me going despite all the blunt refusals I got from each person I spoke with.

THEN I got to Engr. Olopade…whose mobile number I also picked off an online directory of feed mill business CEOs in Oko Oba…and the story changed…!

It was about 10p.m when we spoke. I requested that he allow me use his Feed mill for a one-on-one training for Tunde, explaining the peculiar circumstances.

Note however that before I called him, we had NEVER heard of one another, talk less of speaking.

In other words were 3 total strangers agreeing to meet!

With the exception of Tunde, who had at least seen photos of me from visiting my website, I and Engr. Olopade had no idea what the person we were to meet looked like.

In fact a funny incident occurred when Tunde parked his car at the Abattoir bus stop outside the Police Station, to wait for me.

When I got there, I began trying to call his number to ask where he was parked.

But I kept getting a busy signal. So I had to redial repeatedly.

While doing that my eyes periodically caught an air conditioned blue Honda parked just beside me with a tall heavyset man at the wheel, and a female passenger next to him.

But each time I dismissed the idea of knocking on the window to ask if it was him, because I could not see him holding a phone to his ear. It was only when my call went through and I told him where I was standing that he looked round and our eyes met.

Then we knew! (Hint: Apparently he’d been using the hands-free feature during the previous call he’d been on!)

Long story short, 24 hours later, we were talking like old friends inside Engr. Olopade’s (he’d driven down in a 4-wheeler) feed mill – which turned out to be equipped with a VERY impressive modern milling system, complete with an extruder etc.

Before leaving, Tunde had taken Engr. Olopade’s business card, promising to get in touch (regarding milling his feeds there), while I stayed back to discuss several areas of potential collaboration with our host.

Believe it or not, we (Engr. Olopade and I) were together for well over an extra hour, sharing experiences and exploring possibilities!

See how the power of intuition and intelligent use of the web can combine to connect you with your target audience of buyers and potential partners??!!

Among other reasons, I share this story as an example of how not giving up/keeping an open mind/thinking outside the box can enable one make progress to achieve one’s purpose when it seems most unlikely.

****Ends****

This story also illustrates the importance of getting your business online via as many platforms as possible.

If Engr. Olopade had NOT put up his company’s details on the directory I would never have found him.

That’s the power of intelligent Web Marketing!

It enables me earn over 80% of my income via online channels, selling my unique range of 100% original products/services.

Now I’m going to be helping Engr. Olopade setup and promote a branded Facebook business marketing page – at NO CHARGE to him – as my way of saying THANK YOU to him, for his generosity.

Later on a Web Marketing System will follow

If you’re an independent professional (e.g. expert-who-speaks or consultant etc) looking to reach potential buyers/clients at low to zero cost, an intelligent Web Marketing System(WMS) is what you need

It is what has enabled me attract clients/buyers from places like Tanzania, Uganda, Canada, Benin Republic, UK, USA, Philippines, and across Nigeria (from states like Lagos, Delta, Kano, Gombe, Zamfara, Abuja, Oyo, Ekiti, Plateau etc) for my services as a Custom Excel-VB Software developer (especially my Farm Business Software), Freelance writer, Web Marketing Specialist, and Expert-Who-Speaks.

They come to me, without my needing to pay for ANY advertising, or distributing flyers etc.

To get an idea of how my Web Marketing System makes prospects find me, click http://www.google.com (it will open in another window) and type the following words into the search string entry bar, then click SEARCH (or click this: “feed formulation software”)

Unless something changed really suddenly – and BADLY, you’ll see that at least 2 of the 10 results Google presents to you on the first page are about me – with respect to the same software i.e. my Ration Formulator.

BELOW: See the screen shots from the Google results page I generated for “feed formulation software” today – Monday 2nd November 2015 – at 14:48 Lagos-Nigeria time:

What you see happens because of the Web Marketing System (WMS) I use.

But getting found is just one way a WMS helps.

A well implemented WMS goes further to make you pop up again and again, when varying search strings are used, related to YOUR offering! That process in which you show up repeatedly then makes the “searcher” believe you are likely to be the one with the most value-adding solution s/he needs.

EXAMPLE [TRUE STORY]: Last night I got an email from Yemi A.<surname removed for privacy> a Farm CEO who’d contacted me via my website about my Ration Formulator back in August 2014 (i.e. over a year ago).

I was in Cotonou (my base) at the time and we’d spoken on phone for quite a while. In the course of our discussions, we found we had something in common. Around 1991, he’d worked in Guinness Benin Brewery, with a senior colleague of mine – Sola Adeniran.

I however arrived as a Graduate Trainee Brewer in 1995, by which time he – the Farm CEO – had left the company. So we never met. But Sola was still around and we ended up working together on several occasions. So as we ended our phone conversation, I responded to his query about how I got into software development, despite lacking an IT background, by telling him to ask Sola.

In order to help him understand, I explained that I enjoyed rapid career success for 7 years in Guinness mainly due to the recognition I got for developing custom applications to replace manual reporting systems, using Spreadsheet programming.

Over 4 of my apps were used for formal reporting. Sola himself had requested my help to develop an automated chart-plotting/reporting application for his Utilities Department!

So, when we spoke on phone this morning, the CEO told me he’d attended an event 6 months ago with Sola. I did not ask, but I sensed he must have asked Sola. But this guy was NOT fully satisfied.

After I’d answered all his technical questions about my software, and feed formulation (note that I was – as is my usual habit – the one calling him – the enquirer – at my expense), he asked me to tell him how my app compared with others in the market.

At this point I laughed, and gently teased him saying: Why don’t you just Google “feed formulation software” – I’m sure you’ll get answers readily to that question. You see, I don’t compete. I simply tell people what I offer and leave them to explore available alternatives to make up their minds.

He replied that he’d tried Googling but most of what kept coming up included links to me, which was why he’d come back to me via the last emails we’d exchanged since August 2014 i.e. over a year ago.

That, right THERE, was proof of the power of a Web Marketing System when used the right way on a consistent basis!!

I told him I could not help him any more than I had, and explained that others had found me the same way – including international organizations.

I noted further that in December 2013, a European Union funded NGO paid me to write a 4,000 word Agribusiness paper about the rate of adoption of this same app (my Ration Formulator), by small farm business owners.

Final Words: You can have similar low to zero cost marketing success stories to tell, IF you adopt a custom WMS

I’ve been selling the Ration Formulator mentioned above (with upgrades) since 2004, and most of those I’ve sold it to found me via Google or Youtube, but have NEVER met with me till today, despite buying it.

It’s the same way I sell my Feed Formulation Handbook – which I wrote in 2002.

That’s also how I get hired to ghost-write books for clients.

My WMS is the glue that fits all of them together!

When used correctly, a custom WMS can help you attract eager potential clients/buyers for ANY solution you offer.

It’s like having ROBOCOP on steroids as your 24/7 business marketing manager working to generate sales leads/enquiries even while you sleep!

Question: But who is Burt Dubin, and why do I (Tayo K. Solagbade) think you should you learn from

him?

Answer: Burt is a 3 decade veteran in the professional speaking business. After achieving top level cross continental success as an

expert-speaker, he has established a reputation for mentoring some of the highest paid speakers in the world. He owns SpeakingBizSuccess.com, SpeakingSuccess.com and BurtDubin.com.

Burt helps those he mentors (experts-who-speak) to Position, Package, Promote, and Present* themselves successfully to clients (*He calls

them the 4Ps). That’s why it’s no surprise that on Burt’s website, considerable space capital is devoted to useful business marketing articles as well as products.

It might also interest you to know that MANY years back, Burt established himself as one of the best marketing minds in the world. To really put this FACT in

proper perspective, I’ll provide more specific details in form of an example.

A few years ago, Burt contributed an article to a powerful publication titled “The Most Effective Articles Ever – By The World’s Top Marketers“. That 574 page ebook features timeless marketing advice from 71 of the world’s top marketers – including Jack

Trout, Joe Vitale, Yanik Silver…and Burt Dubin.

That’s ample proof that (in addition to Public Speaking), Burt would be a great resource to learn business marketing from!

Full Disclosure: I represent Burt as Sole Agent for his products/services, which means if YOU buy from him, I get paid.

But that’s NOT the main reason I represent and recommend him. I have benefited in many ways by learning from Burt. Through his writing, his audio recordings,

and from directly relating with him.

Before we teamed up in 2011, I’d been studying his work and adapting it to succeed in my work from way back in 2002. It does not matter what part of the world

you’re in. If you know how to adapt them to suit your peculiar local needs, Burt’s ideas and strategies WILL work for you. I am living proof of it!

That’s why I never tire of CONFIDENTLY recommending him to others.
