    Hi Simon,
    Great video this week, really relevant to me right now as it prompted me to really focus on the benefits of working with me in a client proposal that I am writing today.

    Thanks very much

    Martin

  • Jonathan Jenkins

    Love it, man meets drill and sells it well. Well done Simon

  • Susie Johnson

    Totally agree “sell the benefits not the tool” excellent material Simon, you’re a natural and give such great information.
    Really love this stuff and it’s so well put across. You’ve made a big fan.

  • paul

    Sorry to be so geeky but what camera do you shoot on (and the benefits of using it?)

  • @GMaine_Carl

    Nicely done Simon.

    If I’m honest, there can’t be too many people left who haven’t heard the drill/hole story. The key thing imo, is that it’s such an easy mistake to make – talking about the product/service itself rather than its benefits – that even the most clued-up marketer/seller can still fall into the same trap.

    For me, the key message is: be on your guard against selling the drill, not the hole!

  • Kim Corna

    So very very true Simon. Love these videos. Great content, great talk. Thanks

  • Colin Schamel

    Hey very nice blog!! Man .. Beautiful .. Amazing .. I will bookmark your blog and take the feeds also…I am happy to find so many useful information here in the post, we need to develop more strategies in this regard, thanks for sharing. . . . . .

    Hi Simon,

    Great sales message in this video. Thank you. It serves as a good reminder to promote the benefits of my product, rather than too much time describing what it’s about!

    Seems obvious when it’s pointed out but that’s the whole point. It’s only obvious ONCE it’s pointed out!

    Thanks

    Very true Simon must say I do get carried away with the concept of not selling the benefits and wonder why I get no intrest form people about my business. Now that you have given me a reminder time for me start selling the benefit..thanks!

    Hey Simon, nice to know you’re not just a pretty face.  You can obviously use the drill :-) .  The content was great too, sometimes we do get hung up on the features.

  • http://www.gathermoreclients.com Simon Jordan

     Ha ha yep I’m pretty good at putting the odd shelf up 

  • Tricia

    Thanks soo much Simon!  I need to take a good look at what I am marketing and think of my clients and what they are getting… it all goes back to the golden rule!  Give unto others, right?  Great analogies… now it’s off to make repairs on my bathroom.. I think my drill’s battery is all charged and ready to go!

  • http://www.gathermoreclients.com Simon Jordan

    Glad you liked it Tricia. Go make some holes :)

  • Wendy

    Great advice. My challenge is how to advertise acupuncture as I believe the advertising standards people have restricted what you can claim as the benefits. Any tips/ideas?

  • http://www.gathermoreclients.com Simon Jordan

    Hi Wendy, May I suggest you possibly focus on the main issues your current clients come in for. For example if it’s mainly back pain. You could advertise the fact that you can help people who are suffering with this issue. The features are that you are using acupuncture but maybe don’t go heavy on telling them the process. 
    Helping relieve back pain would be the selling point and your method comes second.I would need to know more from you and what you have done in the past so see a way forward. Hope that helps

    I think back pain is about the only thing you’re allowed to say that you can help people with, with regards to acupuncture. I need to find some creative ways to mention other conditions whilst avoiding making any claims which could get me into trouble with the advertising standards agency. It’s certainly not helpful for marketing purposes! More research required I think. Thank you for your feedback.

    My pleasure Wendy. Let me know how you get on.
