“Are You A Human Lobster?”

Hi Business Owner,

My name is Bob Britton, a fellow small business owner and President of Marketing Automation Group.

Did you know……

A Lobster when left high and dry among the rocks, has not the instinct and energy enough to work his way back to the sea, but waits for the sea to come to him. If it does not come, he remains where he is and dies, although the slightest effort would enable him to reach the waves, which are perhaps within a yard of him.

The world is FULL of Human Lobsters: Women and men stranded on the rocks of indecision and procrastination, who instead of putting forth their own energies are waiting for some Grand Billow of good fortune to set them afloat.”

I know what it takes to get your salon making BIG profits, gaining total control over all your employees, reducing your stress, and cut the amount of days you work behind your damn chair because…..

I Have Done It.

You see I am a small business owner just like you and over the past 12 years, I’ve have completely transformed my miserable, boring and failing business to a new exciting, very profitable, and enjoyable business that I never would have dreamed possible. And the best part of all of this is I only work when I want to.

I am 39 years old; I live in Rochester New York with my wife Melissa and our two kids.

My condensed “story” is:

Ever since the Vic 20 and the Commodore 64 computers came out, I’ve been addicted to computers. Back when there was no world wide web, no internet, just some crappy 28.8k modems with dial up access to somebody’s lame bulletin board systems, I was in my basement playing with them, while other kids were outside running around playing sports, I was hacking on my computer and solving text based adventure games.

I was a solid “B” student in high school and my parents wanted me to go to college but I was more interested in making money. I always wanted my own business, even when I was a kid I went door-to-door selling greeting cards and I had a paper route. From the start I was very ambitious and willing to work hard. So I started working as an auto mechanic and after doing this for 10 years I had an opportunity to buy a shop for no money down.

Finally The Chance To Own My Own Business

Imagine this, I’m 27 years old, I signed a deal where I personally guaranteed $1,000,000 to be paid to the former owner over the next 15 years. Plus I had to overcome all this…

1. I had no money. I opened the business checking account with my $2,000 tax return.
2. The deal included NO real estate, only the business – which was only grossing less than $200,000 per year. I don’t even know what the profit was, if any.
3. All the equipment was worn out (well really pure JUNK), and needed to be replaced. 
4. There were no employee’s other than me. 
5. There were no computer systems, all the customer records were on paper – in old dusty boxes. 
6. There were no equipment or information systems to diagnose the newer models that had been out for years now.
7. I quickly found out the old owner had a REAL BAD reputation and for any business for that matter is the kiss of death.

Was I naive (or maybe just plain stupid) and was this a bad deal for me?

YES without any doubt.

But and this is a BIG but… Without going through this PAINFUL experience I would have NEVER learned the necessary marketing skills (the same skills I want to GIVE you) that have propelled me to the level where I am today.

Have you ever heard the phrase “if it doesn’t kill you it makes you stronger”?

I am living, breathing PROOF that it’s very true.

 Fast-forward 12 years…

Now I live a life most dream about.

My entire business and life have been transformed. I work less, make MORE money than I ever dreamed possible, have no worries and it gets better every month, with no end in sight.

I finally freed myself from the physical stress and financial pressures I had for so long.

I still own my business and now it grosses $740,000 a year and is still growing ever year, even in a bad economy. I paid off the $1,000,000 note and I’m debt FREE. I have a manager who runs the day to day operations and I still do all the marketing which for the most part is on “autopilot”. I have 2 other very successful businesses, and I still kept my strong affinity for computers alive by building my own and keeping it as a hobby. Even building custom high-end home theater systems, all based on a pc.

None of this would have been possible if I did not learn the inside secrets and proven strategies of unconventional marketing, the exact marketing I now teach other salon owners like YOU.

Do you make this mistake in your business?

Hi Business Owner,

My name is Bob Britton, a fellow small business owner and President of Marketing Automation Group.

What’s the difference between people who are highly effective and those who are NOT?
Why do some people seem to be able to accomplish a lot more than others when we are all given the same 24-hours each day?

What makes them different?
Do they have a higher IQ? Are they luckier?

Or are they just busier?

Nope, I am afraid it’s not that complicated.

Highly successful people know that it is NOT possible to do everything that should be done in a given day and they ONLY do the things that bring them the highest payoff.

They ONLY do their low payoff activities when they have finished their high payoff activities.

You see, most people don’t control their day, they let it control them. They wake up in the morning with no list, no plan, and no priorities for the day. They just start doing stuff as the day unravels.

They run around all day like a chicken with their head cut off and THINK they are accomplishing something when in reality, they aren’t.

I think deep down you know what the highest payoff activities in your business are, but in case you don’t, I’m here to tell you: they are the activities that get you CUSTOMERS.

Because without customers, you don’t have a business; without a steady stream of new customers each month, you will continue to struggle, suffer, and may even go flat broke.

So the FIRST thing you MUST do every day is your highest payoff activity, which is your marketing; The kind of marketing that I’ll show you how to do.

My easy to follow 1-2-3 step, paint-by-numbers system will get you all the new high paying clients YOU want. It will also show you how to explode all aspects of your business in a few short months.

FREE Business Marketing Strategy – Live By Price, Die By Price

Hi Business Owner,

My name is Bob Britton, a fellow small business owner and President of Marketing Automation Group.

Here is another FREE Business Marketing Strategy.

Live By Price, Die By Price

Everyone is so caught up with price. This is ridiculous.

People aren’t price shoppers if you educate them.

You can charge anything you want to as long as you can convince people you are worth it. That’s not that hard to do.

But if you live by price, you’ll die by price.

What we mean by this is that if you are the cheapest in town, you will probably go out of business.

Being the cheapest is terrifying to us. We would never want to be the cheapest.

We’d much rather explain price once then apologize for inferior service forever.

We’d much rather see three clients and make $600.00 than 10 clients and make the same amount!

Quality. Not quantity.

There are a few big national chains that live on low prices by having a huge turn-over.

You are not huge. You can’t make up quantity- it’s just too much work running you business and there are only so many hours in a day!

Cheap prices lead to inferior work.

Inferior work leads to unhappy clients.

Unhappy clients lead to no repeat business and no referrals.

“You Can Laugh At Money Worries & Business Owner Stress If You Follow My Simple Plan Just Like Other Business Owners Have”

Hi Business Owner,

My name is Bob Britton, a fellow small business owner and President of Marketing Automation Group.

I just got off the phone with John Baughman, a fellow business owner who invested in my program 3 1/2 months ago.

Are you sitting down?

Well, you need to be…because he EXPLODED from producing $16,127 a month to last month producing $24,986. That is a 36% increase in sales for one month. And because his fixed costs did not increase he put a good percentage of that extra $9,000 into HIS pocket that month. And John’s income will get BIGGER every single month because that is exactly what happened to me and several other business owners who got my program.

Now here’s why I share this with YOU:

First, John knew almost nothing about marketing, only the useless crap the “so called experts” told him at silly Industry seminars he attended.

Second, all he did was follow my simple plan all outlined for him in my business marketing kit. It is such a simple 123, paint by
numbers, cookie cutter approach, and heck it would be very hard (if not
impossible) even for a third grader to mess it up.

Third – HE TOOK ACTION. You see nothing happens without action and if John shunned off my program he STILL would be at his lousy sales
of $16,127 each and every month. But now because he TOOK ACTION
extra money WITHOUT extra work is rolling into his bank account
faster that he can count it. And because he TOOK ACTION, he is MUCH
HAPPIER and get this, he has NO damn stress anymore like you now
have I bet.

And forth, THIS COULD BE YOU in a few short months ONLY if you TAKE ACTION and take the next simple step.

“Are You Terrified To Raise Your Prices Because You Are Afraid Of What Might Happen?”

Hi Business Owner,

My name is Bob Britton, a fellow small business owner and President of Marketing Automation Group.

Here to give you a little proven advice on pricing your business services.

Let me start by saying this.

What someone is willing to pay or not pay for one of your services depends on what their PERCIEVED VALUE is for the service.

Since your customer gets the perceived value of your services from YOUR marketing, the better your marketing is the MORE you can charge for your services.

“I Can Get Business Cheaper From This Or That Business.”

Sometimes you will hear clients say that they can get the same service somewhere else cheaper.

They really can’t and here is why.

First you are not selling a commodity like corn, beans, or gasoline. You are offering a completely unique service that no one else can offer. Your business is different from everyone else’s, you and your employees are different, you solve problems differently, you use different products and on and on. So the ENTIRE experience with you is different from EVERYONE else.

And second they may be lying about the price. They are negotiating with you. They want you to lower your price.

Here are 2 of the 5 reasons why you DON”T want to deal with a price buyer.

They do all the complaining.

They tell your other customers how little they paid you. They actually brag about it and this ruins your relationship with your good clients because it drives them off.

All Price Resistance is in the mind of the seller (YOU) not the buyer. Never predetermine what any amount of money means to someone you don’t know. What I mean by this is that $5,000 may seem like a small fortune to you but to one of your customers it may be peanuts.

So whenever you can you want to target your marketing and be selling to people who…

Make More Money Than YOU

The laziest and easiest thing you can do is price yourself below every one else. Because all that money is lost PROFIT. Then you have to cut corners to make money and then the value of your services goes down – it’s a vicious circle and you will not win.

I can prove to you that you can raise your prices right now 20% and NOTHING bad can happen – you can only make more money. This will put tens of thousands of dollars in YOUR pocket every year, starting instantly.

If you have any questions, need some immediate advice, or would like to get involved with one of my programs please give me a call at 585-633-7563.

To your success,

Bob Britton
