Are we not all headed to the same place?

This is a presentation I've been working on for fun lol not finished!

The community only works if we help each other and promote the well being of WA as a whole!

At a young age I was forced into sales and marketing by circumstance! Not wanting to become a failure of course I made the best of a tough situation. and became a leader in the alternative home energy market in my area, One of the first in fact! When I started things were very much different from now. Which now that I said that, I need to clarify, I'm 29 yr old and have been in this industry for more than half my life. Starting as a kid with his dad, packing roof shingles up a ladder, so Pops could put food on the table! I sure did love that time with my father ,and learned all I could. As the years went by Dad found better jobs and things did turn out better for many years! However now I worked construction jobs of my own often times getting work from the company my dad now ran. By 2003 things were pretty awesome i was young,wild, hard working, and dedicated t living happy, free and doing the best work I could do for my customers! That's precisely what I did. Earned a good living, while providing a spectacular life for myself.

By 2006 the construction started to slow where I had positioned myself in the industry, My youngest child was about 6 months from fruition, I my intuition told me I had to make some sort of change because the markets tone had shifted from loose and frivolous spending on remodels and home renovations, To a tight , stern grasp of spending and most people at this point were begin to realize we were in for a rough road ahead. I decided that i wanted to understand why work was drying up because at that point from my perspective I was just noticing what was truly happening all over the world! In almost all industries, not just mine! I didn't realize it but this was probably in hind sight one of the worst times a person could decide to go into sales and marketing of big ticket renovations, but that's what i choose to do. I was very hard at first, At that time I'm my minds eye I was a young shy but wild aware of my surrounding. I quickly realized my family needed me to be confident and succeed at whatever it was i was going to do. I put my big boy pants on and literally hit the streets knocking on the doors of homes sometimes worth several million dollars to pitch a energy efficient window designed to save xx% on energy cost, backed by an industry leading lifetime warranty, and 100% maintenance free.

I quickly realized why the company i had been installing these windows for were among the first to take the hit of the market shift. They had no clue WHY they did what they did! what I'm saying is the company was disconnected at the head and they didn't understand their customer dynamic at all! Which worked out great for me because I did, and i did it intuitively because i knew the customer,I had worked with them everyday for years! I was their direct way of solving problems. So objections and rebuttals came naturally! Even though I didn't even know what that was at that point:)! So on my own time in the unsure feeling that i might not make it doing the sales and marketing I went to school for Electronic Engineering Received my bachelors degree with top honors in my class!

More importantly I developed relationships with people of all backgrounds. My Professor and mentor at the Time David Kotter began to guide me through the process of developing a company with principles and leadership that would last! I took it all in and still wasn't sure if I truly had it in me or not. I however would not let the fear of failure be the deciding factor in my future life achievements! I worked hard at the electronics side of things but found the business and more so the physiology of my customer became a deep rooted passion!!! seriously I began to watch people around me, read books on human behaviors and instincts. I even went as far as to study the philological change our bodies go through during the different types/steps of the buying process. I developed a keen understanding of the signs a home would have when capable of purchasing big ticket Item. From there I began to fine tune my approach and promo pitch. This really worked out for me, and i was quickly asked if I could teach and guide others through this. I appreciatively yes yes! Again not fully understanding what I was getting myself into I was nervous!

My pride still strong i took our company back into the back and was pleased with the way I took as tough situation and made a career out of it. I considered myself very successful and acquired tremendous amounts of knowledge of the service added industry. Naturally a continual want to better myself and the company actually made me realize it was time to step out on my own because the owner had grown old and lost his passion in what we were doing. So when it was time to renegotiate we parted ways and I found myself married with 4 kids and relying again on my own capabilities to supply for my family.

Coincidentally at this same time my wife was laid off due to a change in government policies in the medical field. the first month was rough but we structured a wonderful company where we all are commission based marketing cost significantly lower then most others in the region. Which drove profits through the roof. I am happy to say in tough times last year was our best year with gross revenue at 4.3 million dollars. Profits margins are well about national avg , but our price point is significantly lower than our competition in our region,. I believe this is due largely to our management and leadership skills as well as the technology and strategies our team developed for the management and tracking of our lead generation and sales pipeline.

Our company is set up a lot like affiliate marketing. We develop relationships through different forms of networking. Obviously our approach is more direct in nature it still is all about understanding the data you can obtain from your prospect. Which turns that prospect into a informed lead qualified to buy!

I find myself asking do these same basic principles of marketing not apply here atWealthy Affiliate, I strongly believe they do! The easiest was to develop an interest from your prospect in my belief would be to show them the usefulness of a product and make it easily available to them.
