Hi Tess! This is MAH- vel – ous – and you betcha I’ll tribe with you! Oh its so true we are suckers for anyone marketing anything we think we need – it’s just our self-doubt side of ego telling us we are not enough as IS – oh baloney!
We already have everything we need!

Tess,
What a fabulous post and point you’ve made. So many marketers use the principal of scarcity (a well known marketing technique) to illicit fear and get us to react and buy quickly before we really have a chance to think.

It is such a turn off!

I’m much more likely to buy from someone who uses a soft sell technique. It matches my nature and my vibe. If we can use the saying when the student is ready the teacher will appear – we can also say when the buyer is ready the product will appear. No need to rush and jump at these well crafted sales letters….

Thank you for this excellent post!

Beautiful and powerful post Tess. I love it when you take a stand and that stand resonates with many. This more authentic approach to marketing puts the juice of service first, right where it ought to be. Bravo!

Hi Tess.
How I see this is that by choosing to believe we will attract our customers to us who are in line with who we are “meant to serve” is a good way to approach marketing. When move forward with the marketing activities with this focus, you will be less likely to be coming from a fear-based perspective. That alone, leaves you open to see more opportunities to make the “right” connections.

It’s about creating amazing value and allowing people to connect with what you are offering. I feel the same way. I can push myself out there and try to close a lot of sales, but I feel slimy doing it.

I treat people the way I want to be sold. That’s what it all comes down to for me.

Tess,

It is amazing that how much stuff that we think we need, actually is not needed. I am glad you have supportive friends to steer you away from unwanted and un-needed stuff, they all seem so wise like you.

I like the 7 reminders at the end. Nicely put!

Thanks for making me feel better as I too have not thought of marketing of blog, I am just writing from heart and see how it flows.

Hi Tess – I hope you don’t think I was judging you. I could have avoided commenting at all, or told you I thought it was a great idea. But I wouldn’t have been doing you any favours.

Doing no marketing activities at all and just expecting folk to find you is unlikely to work for anyone. And a networking group is good but it shouldn’t be your only marketing activity. To me, letting folk believe that it is, is no more genuine than some of the “guru” type books you mention.

I need a friend like Evita to watch my back as well…….I always end up buying into the logic of the promoting guru, and usually have an eBook or piece of Junk Software that was promoted as being “The Next Big Thing”

You are right on the money here as they say and I resonate so closely with what you have written here. and this “My problem is when I’m coming from fear I’m not willing to listen and trust. And that’s where many of us get hooked into to slick marketing.”
How true is this and I could beat myself up for the times I didn’t listen to my heart. I know know that when I allow,when I believe in the me that others see as you say with what your friends remind you of that you do, be and have……life falls into place and I am working on that right now for me – feel so insync
Yes I have already joined this tribe
Love and hugs

Marko,
It’s a matter of what works for an individual. We all have to find our own way and do what works for us. One of my pet peeves is when some sell dvd’s or cds and say there’s only 34 left and the reality is they can go and make more and they do. Scarcity no longer works for me. Everything i need is available to me when I need it.

Dorthy,
Just keep doing what your doing follow your heart, gut and listen for guidance. You’ll figure it out as you go along we all do. There will be a time when the bigger picture will become clearer and you’ll make a plan right for you.

Hillary,
Yes I am doing just that. Thanks and have a great week!

Peggy,
I do know what you’re up too and I wish you the best. I think every thing you are doing is building and expanding. I wish you the best and look forward to hearing all about it.

Tony,
I’ve never fit in and decided it’s OK to stand out or stand alone. I only know I need to do what’s right for me today. It’s what works for me.

Kieth,
We each know what we need to do. This is what works at this time for me. I appreciate you coming by and joining us. Let me know if I can help you in any way.

Tammy,
I love it!

Brenda,
Thanks so much that means a lot to me. I agree we need to honor ourselves where ever we are. Even the slick dudes I can love them and honor what they do. It’s just not for me. I’m slowly learning to trust more. Thanks again for stopping by.

Wilma,
Beautiful…we will do things differently we will make the change together. Amazingly simple but powerful. I love ya more!

Cath,
I agree we need to DO and Test and Do…but this can be done with honesty and integrity. I respect your input and am so happy you let me know how you feel. I also agree with the alienation part. In fact I emailed a friend and asked her opinon on the last few sentences and if they were exlusive. I think it a risk to be who you are at the same time I accept rather than judge those who are doing it differently. When you are true to yourself you always risk losing people. If it weren’t the case everyone would be themselves. Also you risk losing sales. One has to let that go as well…This is new for me…I’m learning as I go. Thanks so much for letting me know how you feel.
