Business Card
The $18,000 Business Card
I have one simple question for you. It might even seem silly to some of you and that's just fine with me. Mainly, because few people who read the marketing information that I give away for free in this format, newsletters, in free consultations, through my marketing firm, etc., usually causes most readers, onlookers and the curious to do absolutely nothing. Are you even prepared to actually answer a little question about your business card and the networking or marketing that drives it?
Free Marketing Advice Has No Value.
That’s funny. I apply the same techniques and strategies that I advise others to do and get stellar results, some of which surprise even me at times. My marketing firm has Clients who dare not try my marketing techniques all by themselves in fear of failure or screwing things up worse than when they originally came to me. But, that said, the strategies that I keep telling Clients, customers, buyers of my products and publications, or even in the Business Card Marketing Letter, in a nut-shell, work. Not because of some magical potion, but because I've spent years (blood, sweat , tears = hundreds of thousands of dollars and very real pain and hardship) doing it WRONG. Warning: Business Card Point Blank Rant Ahead.
And that brings me to my hit-you-over-the-head-with-a-cinder-block point today…(Continue?)

STUPID Business Card Marketing Makes You Broke!
The #1 Most Stupid Thing People
Regularly Do With Their Business Cards
And Why You Are An Idiot If You Do It To.
If you are like the majority, (too bad for you), you have already fallen into the Pit-Fall and are trying to figure out how to climb the walls, perplexed wbout why you are not getting more business, converting more prospects, and ultimately getting exactly what it is that you want.
No wonder. Few do what works. Most, however, will anxiously run out and get 1000 plus business cards only because "everybody" tells you to go do that. Even those who are pointing their finger at you, delegating assignments and homework, RARELY are using their business cards to maximum leverage, instead settling for pure chance that they ever get business. A bit ironic.
Just how valuable would it be to know, first hand, like you and I were best buddies, the number one, STUPID Mistake people of all types, sizes, services, trades and genders do daily? Might it make your 2005 FAR MORE prosperous? Based not on theory, but time-tested, out in the real world, experience that commands RESULTS. Results that translates into getting business. Results that create PAYING Clients. Bottom line: Results that generate Positive Cash Flow, cold, hard cash, MONEY for me.
Pay attention. Glue your eyes to my words.
Let’s clear one prospective up, before we roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty. There are several classes of folks who use business cards in business today. One group goes out and buys a generic business card in quantity, strokes their ego for such a little accomplishment, and makes the decision to sit on their hands, letting their brand new box of business cards never see a drop of sunlight, or ever be unleashed from the cardboard box that houses them. This article is not for the pathetic. If you don't want more sales, more customers, more business, and more relationships that can Turbo-Charge all three, that's your decision. That is not my view however.
Such people who wander through their life, tripping over their own feet, chasing their own tail and could give the "village idiot" a run for his or her money, should be ashamed themselves. They clutter up the expressway for people like the rest of us. Read more here.

Business Card Referral Marketing: Basics Versus Advanced
I just added the following article to our parent site. Upload should be live in a couple of hours.
Referral systems are often talked about, touted, and the thought of having people beating down your door without having to do the work to get them there makes men and women Drool. But when it's all said and done, there are two types of thinking. The basic and the advanced.
Some rely only on what everybody else is doing. (And not so ironically, as is true with most saturated thinking, the referral results are dismal). And then there are others who weed out all the unnecessary fluff, filler, and utter bullshit and rise to top, dominating their specialized niche.
Here I will include both ways to think. you can make the choice which path you most want to be a part of.
Here, now is an article by a guest contributor, about Referral Marketing. The basic way first:
How To Leverage Your Business Into High Profits With Easy-To-Use Referral Marketing Strategies And Systems
Author: Matt Hockin
Referral marketing is one of the most effective techniques for creating steady streams of prospects and clients. Anyone who has been in business for any length of time has learned to appreciate the value of getting referrals due to these important reasons:
Referral-generated customers are the most cost-efficient, profitable, and the most loyal source of new business you could ever dream of acquiring. Referral-generated customers buy quicker, negotiate less, buy larger quantities, and refer more business to you. You can easily set up referral systems that are fool-proof strategies for skyrocketing your profits upward… and onward! The philosophy of referrals:
Your referral systems leverage all of your marketing tactics by getting others to spread the word about your company and your great products. So why would you ever deploy capital on advertising, or trade shows, or any other marketing technique, until first you have in place at least one (or preferably several) referral marketing systems?
In am not suggesting that your business can - or even should - move to being a 100% referral-generated enterprise - although many businesses have. They have benefited spectacularly from referral marketing, and so should you. What I am suggesting is that you can find at least one (but preferably 5 or more) easy to use referral systems that will each generate a 5%, 10%, 20% (or more) increase in customers, sales, and profits for you.
