Digg it UP - Ten Tips to Building Your Opt-in List.
Sometimes, one of the most difficult things to teach beginning sales professionals is the difference between features and benefits. All too frequently, sales people list their product or service features, without articulating how those features will ultimately benefit that prospect or customer. Unfortunately, your prospects or customers are not always able to make that leap for themselves. And when they do not see the benefit, they do not buy. So—what is the difference between features and benefits? How do you articulate that difference?Product or service features are facts—they are just there. There is no real value or judgement attached to them. They simply exist. For example

Most people will work hard for money if properly motivated. Though it may help, more money is not the key to making your employees more passionate. It is a myth to think that you do not need passion if only you have good staff and pay them well. It helps to have good people and to pay them well. However, passion needs to be embedded in a cause that the people can buy into. This will spur the employees on as they can grasp something out of this cause. It is not just about money. People simply would not follow someone for long if he is not chasing after a big and worthwhile dream.Thus companies need to provide a deeper meaning or purpose to life for their employees to u

Once you have your own list there will always be people opting out so you have to continually build and maintain your list. If anyone sends you an email about a problem they are experiencing and ask for your help, always go that extra mile. If I were to be ask about headlines or keywords on on a persons site, I will visit their site and make a point of complementing them on one or two of the positive things I see on their site.
Personally publishing my own weekly ezine I have people every week asking for help. Two questions that stand out are firstly "How does one check what the opposition is doing?" This was in relation to promoting your site and checking to see how others are marketing similar products.
This person was searching for promotion ideas and found one of my articles listed in an ezine directory. This person has a sports Web site and would not have normally read this ezine. My thought here is that you may not necessarily need to publish a weekly or monthly newsletter as long as you write articles and send them out to article directories or write in forums that deal with the product or service you are promoting.
The second person asked me this week about site map creation software after finding an article I wrote some months ago about site maps. I had not even realized there was such a software available. I thought I had trouble keeping a site map up to date for a site containing 200 pages but this lady had 800 pages of graphics so I instantly knew the problem she was facing.
These two people used a search engine and found 2 of my articles and had contacted me asking for my help. I don't claim to be an expert but in saying that I usually spend time researching an article - topic if I am not familiar with it.
BUT as these two people found what I had written on the topic they were having difficulty with, and some how my articles managed to get listed in search engines among the tens of thousands of other similar pages and read by these two people.
Well, maybe I do have some skills after all, with search engines, Web sites, promotion and writing but I wouldn't go as far as to say I was an expert in these fields, just that I have researched enough to know a little more than the basics. You can do the same as the Internet is
