    Buy A Business With This Secret Tactic-And You'll Never Have A Problem Getting Financing

    Levels of New Market Development

    A. Passive

    Passive here means broad spectrum media ads which stimulate the front runners - who are the gasoline for the engine of the movement of any new product from "new" market development until it becomes a commodity. These are the TV or newspaper ads that stimulate enough people to act. This stimulus/response takes a little selling, but, is a lot easier than direct sales, and is a little harder than merchandising commodities.

    B. Active

    This is direct sales. Direct sales means that you called (or mailed to) them directly and went for a "yes" or "no" without them being predisposed in the first place. Direct sales is the most difficult to achieve, but is also the most rewarding when successfully accomplished. Because price is not an object.

    For example: Media ads for new windows - Once there is an inquiry, a professional sales person is sent to "close" a sale. This is a skilled and highly paid professional. But even harder and more high-paying is the non-response selling of a new product or service. Getting an appointment on a new product (generating leads) is a chore in itself.

    Your Small Business Name -- Important?
    You bet a name is important. Many small business owners try to come up with a clever name for their business rather than one that explains what they do. And, nine times out of ten, that is a mistake. Your business name should g

    Mail order also falls into this last category. To be "good" at marketing any one of the above levels does not necessarily mean much with the other categories. Do you have inexpensive "passive" promotions? If you are selling an unknown product or service, are you describing what "problem" you are going to solve, or, how you are going to enhance their life from the status quo?
