STEP ONE: AWARENESS Know Yourself

Know Your Market

Character Match

Know Yourself THERE ARE THREE AREAS TO KNOW ABOUT YOURSELF:

What are your goals?

What do you value?

What are your beliefs? (and are they aligned with business success)

1. What are your goals?

[ 1. In your personal life? What will this give you or enable you to do? 2. In your business? What will this give you or enable you to do? 3. With your health and fitness? What will this give you or enable you to do? 4. In your friendships? What will this give you or enable you to do? 5. In your intimate relationship? What will this give you or enable you to do? 6. With your finances? What will this give you or enable you to do? 7. Emotionally? What will this give you or enable you to do?

| 9

2. What Do You Value? Values are emotional states we want to experience consistently. There are means values (people, things and activities), and there are ends values (emotions). The values you want to experience here need to be emotions, such as:

 Acceptance

 Growth

 Playfulness

 Accomplishment

 Happiness

 Resourcefulness

 Adventure

 Honesty

 Security

 Audacity

 Humour

 Simplicity

 Awe

 Integrity

 Stability

What do you value the most, based on the life you’re living right now?

3. What Are Your Beliefs? Beliefs are what we are certain is true, about ourselves and about our world. For example, I believe, ‘There is always a way’. This means I tend to be very persistent, tenacious and focused on solutions. Someone else may believe, ‘I don’t like to be uncomfortable or challenged’. This would produce very different results. Our beliefs determine what we will and won’t notice as opportunities; what we care about; what we consider ‘too hard’; what we dismiss as beyond our abilities; what we will attempt; what we will persist with and what we will achieve. Our efforts need the support of our beliefs if we want to achieve something.

My beliefs... 1. I believe life is about… 2. I believe success is… 3. I believe people can be… 4. I believe it’s easy to… 5. I believe it’s difficult to… 6. When it comes to setbacks, I believe… 7. I believe life is about… 8. These are my thoughts on who is responsible for my results…

9. These are my thoughts on what is holding me back…

AWARENESS KNOW YOUR MARKET

| 13

STEP ONE:

AWARENESS Know Yourself

Know Your Market

Character Match

Now you’ve reflected on your life and what matters to you, let’s look at the market you’re in (or want to go into). This second step is VITAL for business success.

Know Your Market THERE ARE THREE AREAS TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR MARKET:

Who is your avatar?

What do your competitors offer?

Where does your market congregate?

14 |

1. Who Is Your Avatar? Your avatar is the description of the single client, who if you had them, you would do business with them consistently, love doing business with them, and love helping them. They are your single dream client, who loves you, what you do, how you do it, what you stand for, and where you’re heading.

Get to know your avatar… 1. Who is your prospect? Write down a

real description. Pretend they are sitting across from you. Try to nail down the average person, in terms of likes and dislikes, income, sex and age etc.

2. What is causing them pain?

3. What’s their biggest problem?

| 15

4. What miracle would deliver their

biggest desire whilst solving their biggest problem? It could be a product that holds their hands as the do the steps, or it could be someone else doing it for them. It could be the steps are given to them one at a time with help. 5. What are their top fears and

frustrations? What gets them mad? What gets them worried?

6. What do they want? What is the

outcome they are really after? The secret thing they want that isn’t a result that’s tangible, but a feeling or an experience?

7. What are their top wants and desires

based on what they actually say they want? What are they really after? How is that different to what they think they want?

8. What does your XXX do or give your

prospect that they doesn’t know about? What are the hidden benefits that your prospect doesn’t know about?

16 |

9. How do they like to receive their

goodies? Email? Membership? Mailed folders? Contact with people face-toface? Contact with people on the phone? Networking?

10. What forums do they go to? What do

they write about?

11. What are they afraid will be

discovered about them? What do they want no one to know about them?

12. What would happen for them if they

got their desire?

13. Finish this sentence for your

prospect: “If I could just...”

| 17

14. What’s your prospect’s name?

15. If I could pick them out from a crowd,

who am I looking for?

16. What do they do for a living right now?

17. What other identifying traits does this

person have? Married? Kids? Past bankruptcy?

18 |

18. Now fill in the blanks for the next paragraph: Hi, <THEIR NAME>. I know it’s not easy being a <THEIR AGE> year old <THEIR GENDER> and <THEIR IDENTIFYING TRAIT> who’s trying to <THEIR DESIRES OUTCOME>... especially when you’re tied up most of the time working as a <THEIR JOB>. And when you think about <THEIR BIGGEST PROBLEM>, it can seem overwhelming. So I want to just take a minute and let you know everything is going to be fine. How can I say this? Because I know how you feel. Getting <THEIR DESIRED OUTCOME> wasn’t easy for me either and I sure had challenges of my own... just like you do now.

| 19

2. Who Are Your Competitors? When deciding what market to go into, one of the easiest things to do is to study those who are already there, and doing great! Modelling excellence is the vastly superior way to know your next move. Why reinvent the wheel? Here’s an example of the spread sheet to use when doing your competitor analysis…

Competitor XXXX Website: www.XXXX.com

Facebook: XXXX

How do they market? Facebook? Google ads? Speaking gigs? Books? Other…

What colours do they use?

What’s their logo like? What does it communicate?

What do they seem to value and care about?

What Spiral level are they?

What is their free offer to get contact details?

20 |

Who seems to be attracted to them?

What are the discussions like on FB or other forums?

What does their market seem to care about?

How would you describe their avatar?

How would you describe the competitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story in terms of character? Hometown boy done good? Us versus them? Reluctant hero? What is its value?

What problem do they seem to be solving?

What benefits are they saying their product provides?

What is the first purchase you can make? What do you get? How much is it?

| 21

What is the guarantee?

What’s in the product? Lay out the module names, the content it contains, and how its delivered What free bonuses do they offer?

What else do they do that’s unusual or attractive?

What is their free offer in return for opt in details?

How is the free offer delivered? For example, online?

What contact details are asked for? For example, just email? Email and name? More?

What problem is the competitor attempting to solve with this free cool thing? Do you think it solves it?

22 |

3. Where Does Your Market Congregate? Beliefs are what we are certain is true, about ourselves and about our world. For example, I believe, ‘There is always a way’. This means I tend to be very persistent, tenacious and focused on solutions. Someone else may believe, ‘I don’t like to be uncomfortable or challenged’. This would produce very different results. Our beliefs determine what we will and won’t notice as opportunities; what we care about; what we consider ‘too hard’; what we dismiss as beyond our abilities; what we will attempt; what we will persist with and what we will achieve. Our efforts need the support of our beliefs if we want to achieve something.

Your Market: 1. Where does your ideal client hang out?

2. Can you reach them easily? And cost effectively? (Do they even want to be reached?)

3. What do they discuss when they come together?

4. What matters to them when they come together? (It should match your avatar and competitor analysis)

STEP ONE:

AWARENESS Know Yourself

Know Your Market

Character Match

Now you’ve reflected on your life and what matters to you, and you’re clear on what your ideal client values and seeks… Let’s look at who they aspire to work with...

Character Match THERE ARE THREE AREAS TO BE AWARE OF WHEN FIGURING OUT YOU AS A CHARACTER AND WHETHER YOU’RE A MATCH FOR THAT MARKET:

What type of character are you?

What are your dreams and desires?

What is your ideal average day?

26 |

1. What Type of Character Are You? People Buy Stories With Leading Characters. There are four main ‘characters’ which markets are attracted to. The type of market you want to go into, or are in, will determine the type of character that market wants. As a general rule (there are many exceptions and it’s up to us to learn more about this) the four character types cover most markets. Assess yourself on these four character types...

Hometown Boy Done Good ATTRIBUTES / STORY 

Creates a bond because they identify with you and believe you both have something in common



Ordinary person, nothing special



I was broke, down and out, whatever. I had it all and lost it.



And then I made a discovery…



This discovery turned my life around, and I’m going to share it with you



I turned it around despite the odds. And if I can, then you can, too.



Marie Forleo



Brendon Burchard

YOUR ASSESSMENT

| 27

Us Versus Them ATTRIBUTES / STORY 

Appeals to how our minds create stereotypes



It’s not the prospect’s fault it didn’t work… they didn’t have the right X; ‘they’ held it back from them…



Absolve them from pain so it’s not their fault that it hasn’t worked so far (‘it’ being whatever is being solved)…



There are ‘secrets’ that when you know them, make you part of the elite



I’ve discovered a secret that proves that the makes the market’s problem (whatever it may be) is the fault of something else



You vow to fight for them (the market) and unite together on your mission to solve the problem, and you’re revealing the secret to help the group – it’s a crusade



By buying the product, you become one of ‘us’



YOUR ASSESSMENT

Reluctant Hero ATTRIBUTES / STORY

YOUR ASSESSMENT



First, you stumble upon something amazing…



You try it out for yourself and it works like crazy, so as a result, you tell a few people, and word gets out



Before you know it, everyone wants to know about it



You are completely overwhelmed with requests to share your secret, so as a favour, you decide to teach it



You teach it, with the attitude of, ‘But I’m not a professional…’



Expert and knowledgeable on all aspects of this world



Huge successes and many home runs

YOUR ASSESSMENT

| 29

2. What Are Your Dreams and Desires? Here’s the thing – the market we want to go into must want the same things we HAVE. If we love spending time with our family, and writing, then that’s what our market must love. If we love helping people and making a difference, then that’s where our market wants to head, too. Whatever we aspire to achieve, or have achieved, MUST match our market’s desires. Or at least what they THINK they want.

This is reality, for me, right now: My physical appearance is… How I present myself (my clothes, my care)… My voice tonality is… I drive… I talk about the following subjects… I spend my spare time doing… When I research, it’s on… My passion is… What I show gratitude for is when… What I don’t like is… What I’m against is… What bugs me about the world is… What I love about my life is… What I wish was different about my life is…

So if Frank Kern (online marketing legend) was doing this exercise, writing to his prospect for a beginner’s marketing product, he’d be writing to a 45 year old man named Bob who sells insurance. Bob is married with two kids who drive him nuts and his wife thinks he’s an idiot for trying this internet stuff. He’s about 10 kilo’s overweight and wears glasses. He wears a short sleeved button down shirt (white) and khaki pants. His shoes are brown leather. His biggest desire is to make enough money to quit his job, which pays him $58,000 a year. His biggest problem is he doesn’t know where to start and he gets information overload because he sees so many different promotions.

This is what Frank wrote about him using the above template:

“Hi, Bob, it’s Frank. I know it’s not easy being a 45 year old dad trying to make it online AND juggle a family... especially when you’re tied up most of the time selling insurance. And when you think about trying to piece all this stuff together and find a place to start, it can seem overwhelming. Especially since you’re getting a new “make money” email every ten minutes. So I want to just take a minute and let you know everything is going to be fine. How can I say this? Because I know how you feel? Making enough money online to quit my job wasn’t easy for me either and I sure had challenges of my own... just like you do now. I remember when I was broke back in 1994. It was bad enough that I didn’t have two nickels to rub together... but then a flood came through my home and all of my possessions. So then I was broke and homeless! I’m lucky I didn’t have my two kids to support back then because I don’t know how I would have done it. And I’m really lucky I discovered the one little thing that would change my life forever. It’s the one thing that’s let me know I’ll never have a job again and it’s called...”

STEP TWO:

ALIGNMENT Brand Promise

Content Marketing

Lead Generation

Now you’ve reflected on your life and what matters to you, you’re clear on what your ideal client values and seeks, and you know if you’re a match for that market… Let’s look at your brand promise...

Brand Promise THERE ARE THREE AREAS TO LOOK AT AND BE ABLE TO DELIVER WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR BRAND PROMISE:

What is the content you will provide?

What experience will your clients have with you?

How will your promise be delivered to your clients?

44 |

1. What Is The Content You Will Provide? What content are you going to provide? Is it your own product (take into account how long that takes to create)? Is it a licensed product? Content Analysis What is the product? How do you know this is what your market wants? (refer to the competitor analysis) What is included in the product in terms of the content? What is unique about this product? Can you deliver workshops from this product? Can you deliver coaching from this product? Can your clients access the product in their own way and in their own time? What is the price of the product? Does this product compliment your coaching offering? Is your product just coaching? If so, how is this unique? (saying you tailor make the coaching for the client is NOT unique – it’s what every single coach says who doesn’t have a way of differentiating themselves in the market) What’s the unicorn of this product? For example, famous guests appearing, Facebook group for interaction

| 45

2. What Experience Will Your Clients Have? Whilst the market wants the content, what it values, often without knowing it, is the experience they have through being involved with whatever they buy. Involvement doesn’t mean ‘interacting with their purchase’. It means interacting with the people who also made that purchase. ‘Experience’ are the stories we get to tell because of the experience that we have. At TCI, we create experiences just like the one you’re having right now. We also do it through our Facebook groups, Coach and Connect, Wow Calls, random acts of kindness… What is it about what you offer that creates an experience for your market?

Content Marketing THERE ARE THREE THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN DELIVERING CONTENT MARKETING:

What is your method of delivery?

What problem does it solve?

What is the Call To Action (CTA)?

50 |

1. What Is Your Method of Delivery of Cool Free Content? Firstly, let’s consider, for your market, what delivery method they want of a cool free gift, in return for their contact details…

Delivery Method of Cool Free Thing METHOD

WHAT THEY PREFER…

Hard copy, posted E-report CD (hard copy) MP3 (online) Podcast Blog DVD (hard copy) DVD (online) Information Pack (shock and awe) Quiz Phone call Business Analysis Profiling Tool Book Registration to a webinar Registration to a free event Registration to a paid event Registration to a conference call

| 51

2. What Experience Will Your Clients Have? Once we’re clear on how to deliver this cool free thing, we need to work out what it’s going to be. To do this, we need to land on what problem it solves for the market. It’s not an opportunity to talk about yourself, or provide a brochure that’s all about you and your services. That can be part of it, but only part. Most of it needs to be about the avatar and what they care about. Refer to your Avatar Checklist to determine this. Also, look at your Competitor Analysis. This will reveal so much about what they want, and how they want it delivered.

What problem are you going to solve with your cool free thing?

What’s another problem you may solve?

52 |

3. What Is The Call To Action (CTA)? We’re there. We’re going to offer a cool free thing, in return for the prospect’s contact details. We’re not going to go straight to the sale. The Call to Action isn’t going to be – ‘Pay for my coaching session’. We’re going to bring together what we know and apply it, and offer them… what? What will be the Call to Action? What will they get?

For example: Opt in and receive X for free… Claim your free X here…

So what is going to be YOUR cool free thing? What will they get?

Lead Generation THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO GENERATE LEADS. THERE’S EVERYTHING FROM NETWORKING TO WRITING A BOOK AND WRITING ARTICLES. WHAT’S IMPORTANT IS THAT YOU CAN ANSWER THESE THREE QUESTIONS:

56 |

How am I being generous?

What modalities am I delivering my free stuff in?

What is the immediate reward for action?

1. How Am I Being Generous? When asking for someone’s contact details, be generous, and ‘stack the cool’. Give free stuff away as a matter of daily business. Do it when you’re expecting nothing in return. Do it so the market gets to know you. And do it so you have the right to ask for their contact details.

2. What Are The Multiple Modalities? Offer your cool free thing in a number of modalities:  A written report  A CD or audio recording  A DVD interview  A quiz…

3. What Is The Immediate Reward For Action? The moment they opt in, ensure they receive something cool for their efforts immediately.
