Simple Note Card Webinar

by Tammy de Leeuw
Financial Advisor Netzone

Thursday's webinar with Katherine Vessenes turned out to be one of the most popular of the year as she demonstrated that old school marketing CAN and DOES work to attract clients.

Katherine provided some real world examples, including her own story of how she built a law practice in the boondocks from scratch, using nothing except note cards.

You can get the full recording for nothing if you download it by October 6, 2009. Just go here:

Grouchy's "Kitchen Sink Kollection"

The Only Time I Will Ever Do This..

As I explained to some of you in a recent email, my annoyance with school fundraising has piqued to the point where I decided to do my own FUNDRAISING EFFORT..

I am calling it "Grouchy's Kitchen Sink" with the lion's share of the proceeds going to my kid's teeny tiny school out in the sticks. They don't get any stimulus or tax funds, so they DO need it..
I just don't feel like selling cookie dough, that's all.

This isn't a trick to try and up-sell you or cross-sell you or lure you into some recurring billing subscription or whatever... it is, like me,

PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

I have opened the Grouchy vaults and am giving you a pile of great marketing stuff- stuff that I could probably sell, piece by piece, for three times what I am asking here.

This is for a great cause, though- keeping me from having to annoy my relatives by foisting tubs of dough on them.

You benefit- because I have gathered together some of the best of my webinars (and 2 brand new ones never before offered to the public) along with links to Goldmails, training, ebooks and lots of other goodies. It's a whole marketing university for less that a month's worth of lattes at your local foo-foo cafe.

I won't do this again... It's too much work for one thing. So, if you want to help yourself AND help out a great cause at the same time, order now!

You Get:

1. 2 "Celebrity Positioning" Webinar recordings with Matthew Sapaula (one of them was a
private presentation never offered before) Matthew, a real agent and up-and-coming
media celebrity is a great presenter and full of insider tips on how to get yourself known.

2. Podcast with Matthew. (my informal interview with Matthew in which he shares how he uses
social media to grow his business and attract the media.

3. Webinar recording: Shama Hyder: Everything You Know About Social Media Is Wrong...

4. Webinar Recording: Making Money in A Market Downturn with Peter Vessenes: Peter shares
his thoughts on why advisors and agents MUST get better at office practices and procedures
in order to make their practices more profitable.

If you were on this week's call with Matthew Sapaula, you got a treat. This talented young advisor offered us a peek into the mindset that brought him from being a laid-off stockbroker to a sought-after financial expert interviewed on national television.

Matthew demonstrated first hand why celebrity positioning is the fastest, and most cost-effective (in terms of leveraging your time and marketing dollars) way to get to the head of the pack and why investing in yourself is the most important thing you can ever do for your business.

Life Health Advisor Interviews Grouchy

(this is part of an interview I did recently with LIFE HEALTH ADVISOR magazine online
http://www.lifehealth.com)

By Carolyn Ellis
Life Health Advisor Magazine


Tammy de Leeuw, aka The Grouchy Marketing Lady, helps insurance agents and business owners with marketing tools and techniques to generate leads and client referrals. As a consultant and teacher, she analyzes financial professionals' marketing materials, maps a strategy for building referrals, and recommends experts in all media to implement marketing initiatives. De Leeuw's light-hearted and meaty website is www.grouchymarketinglady.com

L&HA: How did you get into insurance marketing?

TDL: I started out as a part-time insurance agent in 1996. I found out I didn't like insurance as much as I liked marketing. Once you have exhausted your warm market and alienated all the people who love you, the hard part is learning to generate your own leads. I then took a job in lead generation and marketing. I met thousands of agents and listened to their triumphs and sob stories. I decided if the day ever came that I wasn't working for this company I would go out on my own. As it turned out, that company got dissolved, and little by little I grew a business.

L&HA: Tell us about The Grouchy Marketing Lady.

TDL: I work with about 25,000 financial advisors and insurance agents ranging from property and casualty to life-only sales people, annuity-only, and viaticals. You name it; I've got them on my list. I find people these agents can connect with to grow their business, and I find the weak spots in their marketing systems. I consult and I educate. I see myself as an expert in finding experts. I'm like a general practitioner in marketing. I can look at your marketing and see where the problem is. But if it's a tumor, I am going to put it to the brain surgeon. I have identified the best people in psychology, customer relationships, and social media, for example. I bring those people on, do webinars with them, form a joint venture if they had a good product or service, and present them to my list.

L&HA: Is prospecting tough for most agents?

TDL: Most corporations put guys into the field having taught them everything about how to close the sale but nothing about keeping a pipeline full. Put these agents in a room, and they can close eight out of 10. The weak spot is lead generation. If you learn to generate your own leads and grow your own warm circle, you are much better off.

The guys that get that make a lot of money. No matter how many degrees they have or how many alphabet letters after their name, at the heart of it, they are marketers. If you think and act like a marketer, the rest will follow....
