60 acast.com The Intuitive Marketer https://markhoward.podbean.com en © Copyright 2019 mark howard, business coach,business mentoring,business marketing Mark Howard Transform Your Business with Intuitive Marketing Strategies My passion is helping people. That’s why I do what I do.

Seeing businesses grow and thrive is what gets me out of bed in the morning with a smile on my face. …Ok the smile bit isn’t entirely accurate, but once I’ve had a coffee, rest assured it starts to emerge.


Luckily for me, I get to see a lot of growing and thriving, because I’m proud to say that I have an awful lot of happy clients.


As a result, I’ve been asked many times about my process and way of working, but in truth it’s difficult to put into words because I am a little bit different to your average business coach.

Because I was born with the gift of mediumship, which means I have intuitive capabilities that others don’t.


In working terms, this means that design ideas and concepts come very easily to me when talking to clients – and they’re often astounded at how quickly I ‘get’ them


I understand people in a different way to others, which I’ve found makes my work a lot easier, and the outcome a lot better than that of my contemporaries.


I would like to pretend this is because of sheer grit, determination and hard work …I definitely have all those qualities, don’t get me wrong, but the real reason for my success is my intuitive ability to visualise concepts and understand people.


Beyond that, I have a different understanding of target markets to most – again, not because of the number of courses I’ve attended or books that I’ve read (although I certainly have done both), but because of my ability to visualise what my clients’ audience is looking for.


I would go so far as to say that I know what my clients want before they do.


If this all sounds a little off the wall I understand, but the proof is in the pudding, or rather in the statistics. It works – for me and for my reams of very happy clients.

But how do you stand out to someone searchi. full 79 Getting on to the first page of the search results is the ultimate goal for any business that is carrying out an SEO campaign. But how do you stand out to someone searching and encourage them to click through to your website?

Search engines such as Google, pull data frankrom your website to show in the search results. There are two key elements that form the title and description that show up on the results pages. These are the title tag and meta description.

In this episode, Mark takes you through what makes your meta title and description swing so people can click on it and take action.

Find out how one company in Bognor got his business to fix his guitar, just from their meta title

Getting a proper plugin

[1:06]

Many people search for a certain product or service on Google and other search engines. You will receive this extensive list of search results. The next step is picking which option to click. Now, you wouldn't be pulled to the meta description and meta title. Thus, Mark says these meta titles are what show in search engine results. Obtaining the proper plugin is the first step to take.

The proper plugin

[2:26]

Many SEOs use Yoast. However, Mark does not recommend using that for it is buggy instead he recommends using Rankmath.

Attracting people

[7:17]

The meta titles should be enticing and attractive to possible customers. Having a basic default “about us” will not entice customers. Mark advises putting the reader on a journey by putting all the necessary information.

Being unique

[9:59]

The other thing you have to do is stand out because you have to be unique. Being unique is one of the most effective strategies for business owners to attract customers to click on their website during search results. If you're not unusual, you'll notice it will be a problem. You can look at your search results and see where you rank compared to your competition. See which are number one on the first, second, and third pages.

[13:12]

Meta titles

Mark is trying to convey here that if you can get your meta titles and meta descriptions right at the start before you do anything else when you create your pages and get this particular bid, that would be ideal. Your click-through rates will skyrocket regardless of where you are on Google right now.

This could be through necessity, such as a lack of leads or sales. It could come through a design looking “tired” and needing a new coat of paint, much like a wall in your home. The brand could even be entirely overhauled to modernise or follow a change of ownership.

When you’re considering a website re-design, you need to establish the main reason for doing so. Your reason will guide the tasks and complexity of the project. There’s a big difference between updating some content and images on an existing website, and building a whole new website that is focused on generating more sales.

In this episode I take you through the 6 signs that your website might be outdated and what to do about it.

It's not about your grand opening or your new product - it's about you. Well, more specifically, it's about your business and how to make it thrive. 

Welcome emails are used with newsletter opt-ins, lead magnets, course sign-ups, specific product purchases and in many other scenarios. They're the first step in the journey that a new subscriber or customer will have with your business.

According to research carried out by Hive, welcome emails have a 91.43% open rate. They're an email that your new subscriber is expecting in their inbox after signing up, so they'll almost always be opening it.

In this episode, I take you through why this is the most overlooked email sent, how it benefits your business and more importantly take you through the ideal email sequence for new subscribers/customers.

The Email Sequence list

  • Welcome & Intro
  • About you/ Your Business
  • Pain Point(s)
  • Case Study/Testimonials
  • Hard/Soft Pitch

Here was a Business Coach who was down to earth, made things easy to understand for his clients and what's more is literally a treasure trove of information.

Over the years I have met many Business coaches and personally found them too pushy and focusing on the negative - not Steve.

So when Steve agreed to this interview, I really wanted to get answers to those questions the many business owners wanted to know.

In this interview, I ask the questions:

  • In your experience, what has been some of the biggest challenges for businesses during the pandemic?
  • What tips or advice would you give to someone who is looking to take on a business coach such as yourself?
  • What (in your opinion) do you consider to be the biggest mistake most business owners make today?
  • Can you explain what the Kickstarter programme is and how businesses can get involved?

Want to learn more about Steve? Then why not take a moment to connect with him:

You see anyone can build a website (sorry but it’s true) but it takes someone with experience on marketing, business accrument and conversion knowledge to make you a website that works, converts and brings in sales.

As I said this week, it is like having a Ferrari, but without the engine – who wants that? The prospect of having a top of the range super sports car that turns heads, but without its main components is nothing more than an ornament sitting by the side of the road.

Automation systems, lead pages, bump carts are just the start and that is not even touching on blogging, podcasting and Vlogging that all need to be done in order to increase your brand and experience.

And believe me, if your website does not have at least these items in the back end, then your site will not go anywhere fast it at all. Unfortunately, it is also one of the main reasons why so many start-ups fail.

These sites are ok but he (and most likely like you) is not a designer or marketeer, As I pointed out you never get a second chance to make a first impression and sites such as these are causing SMEs more damage than good.

He also pointed out that there are people offering to build sites for as little as R500 or £25. Again as I said, do you really think you will get a good site that is built correctly, with images that have the appropriate copyrights to them within the site? The answer is of course NO!

So why it may seem like a great idea to save money by opting for the cheaper option, would you expect people to do the same with your business? What does a self-build site or cheaply built site say about you and your business ethics?
