The Gift of SOAR! is a post from: Emma Tiebens | The Relational Marketer

"Sinbad Sailed the 7 Seas, I Soared Through the 7 Cs"

A month or so ago, I posted a survey in my beloved The Relational Marketers Group
on Facebook.  I asked them this question:

“Which Areas Would You Be Interested In Learning More From at my LIVE
MeetUps?”

I gave them 13 choices and they were encouraged to mix and match and
prioritize.  Below is the result of that survey:

1) Facebook Fan Page – 2

2) Info-Product Creation – 5

3) Simplifying Social Media -  1

4) Video Creation -  4

5) Overcoming Fear of Visibility – 1

6) Overcoming Fear of Video = 0

7) Blogging - 2

8 Search Engine Optimization -  4

9) Posturing in Online and Offline Networking -  3

10) Branding -  6

11) Lead Capture Pages -  2

12) Autoresponder/Email Marketing -  3

13) Blueprint to put together all of the above! – 5

Our group has grown since this survey and these results will probably change.  I do find it
interesting that the above results are based on the opinion of the most interactive
members of the group and I want to thank them so much for their participation, please find
their names and their websites on the bottom of this post.

What I found interesting is that NONE of them needed help with “Overcoming the Fear of Video” and only 1 checked “Overcoming Fear of Visibility”.

I was right on with my expectation that to have a “Blueprint On How To Put Things Together Is VERY Important but was quite impressed when “Info-Product Creation” also came up as a top priority.

However, I was pleasantly surprised that “Branding” came up as THE TOP PRIORITY for
this group!  This is so exciting for me because this is what I am passionate about!  To
help entrepreneurs with:

“The 7 Cs of Branding for Visibility, Influence and Profits!

1. Clarify The Passion You Can Monetize
2. Create Your Product and Service Offering
3. Construct Your Marketing Funnel
4. Communicate Your Brand Message – “The Emma5″
5. Circulate Your Content Online
6. Connect At The Heart Convert Prospects To Clients To Relationships For Life
7. Collaborate With Industry Leaders, Movers and Shakers and Up and Comers!

This is the essence of what clients pay me thousands of dollars for and I have
packaged these in my basic course, “5 Paths to Profits”.

This is the essence of RELATIONAL MARKETING.

Same topics I will be discussing at our Interactive Teleseminars and Webinars
and my upcoming LIVE Event called “S.O.A.R. LIVE LA - Secrets of Astounding
Results, Skyrocket Your Passion and Profits” with my amazing friend,
Kathy Eppley!

Click here and come join us to our S.O.A.R. LIVE LA Event on October 8, 2011 in Santa Monica, CA!

Between Kathy and I, we have what it takes to enable you to take your life and business to a whole new level!

Sinbad Sailed The 7 Seas… I Soared Through My 7 C’s” is a post from: Emma Tiebens | The Relational Marketer

I have been on Facebook for a little over two years now and I have to say, I have seen most strategies people try to pull off when they are connecting online.

Sure, when you’re in a platform as vast and as huge as Facebook, you are bound to meet all kinds of people from all over the world and despite our due diligence to screen those we accept as “Friends”, some not so very ethical and considerate people slip through the cracks.

Having connected with some of the most V.I.P. – Visible, Influential and Profitable leaders, movers and shakers and up and comers on Facebook, I believe I am in the best position to speak about what to do and what NOT to do when on Facebook. I know that when you apply even a tiny bit of what I will share with you here, you will become UNFORGETTABLE, magnetic and you will reach people you would have never been able to reach before.

Ready?

Okay… here’s my exclusive Step by Step Guide on What You Must Start Doing To Connect With V.I.Ps on FB…

1) Do a “search” for the leader you want to connect with… your “hero” or people you want to collaborate with.

2) Preferably, connect with them on their Personal Profile first by sending them a PERSONAL MESSAGE on why you want to connect with them. Don’t just say “we have mutual friends”… that’s so impersonal. When people send me that kind of message, I think 2x before I “friend” them. I personally perceive that as lack of research on who I truly am and what’s their motive for friending me. Granted a lot of people have motives which is to be able to tap on your “friends” as well and increase their network. The most powerful personal message you can send are:

a) I have read your book, (watched your video, met you at a live event, attended your webinar, etc…) I was positively influenced by it and would love to connect with you here!

b) My good friend XYZ, suggested that I connect with you on FB… I am a ____( tell them who you are and what you do without your selling hat on)________ and I was told that you enable people like me to _____________. I would love to find out more about you and learn from you!

c) If it’s a potential collaborator, you can use the above sentence but instead, end it with “I would like to explore potential joint venture partnerships with you now or in the future”

d) I noticed that you actively speak or post on topics of XYZ… I would love to learn more about that and more about you so I look forward to connecting with you here!

3) Once they accept you as a “Friend”… PLEASE… no matter how you think this has worked in the past for you, DON’T SEND THEM A GENERIC VIDEO saying “I am so happy we connected here… please go to my XYZ website to find out more about me and LIKE my Page! That is a no-no!!! I have
unfriended many people who have done this to me….

4) DO NOT under any circumstances immediately add your new friends to a list and start inviting them to your FB Page or to an event you’re doing. I find that rather tasteless! I Delete and Block people who do this immediately.

5) If you’re friending many people at a time, don’t just go to their wall posting a “Copied and Pasted” – Thank you for connecting message! Instead, use their name and tell them why you’re excited to connect with them!

6) If you have already met them at a live event and have a photo with them, post that photo or video on their Wall and make sure you say something nice about that photo and “tag” yourself and that person. By tagging, I mean finding that “Tag This Photo” link, clicking on that, then clicking on that person’s face and entering their name until a drop down list of your FB friends starting with the same name comes up and clicking on the name that matches the person on the photo…

You can click here to watch my instructional YouTube video with almost 30,000 views on FB on “How To Tag Photos and Videos on FB”

7)  If this person has really made an impact in your life, send them a personal and private message letting them know how they have positively impacted your life.  This goes a long way… When people do this for me, I pay very close attention to them and I want to help them even more.

8)  A big NO-NO! When you create a video and it has a very inspirational yet broad and profound message in it, please don’t just TAG them on that video for no apparent reason, UNLESS, they are specially mentioned on that video. I immediately delete those from my Wall and I un-tag myself from the video.

9)  One of the very best things you can do is to create a personal welcome video for this person, post it on YouTube and then share that video link on your new friend’s Wall… this will truly get you noticed in a very good and respectful way…

10) Last but not least – one of the most important things you can do if you really want to connect with an industry leader or a hero you’ve been admiring from a distance is to invest in their product, system or service… then IMPLEMENT what you’ve learned, create a video, post it on YouTube and share that same video link on their wall…

The information I just shared here is part of what people pay me thousands of dollars for.  If you implement this you will see a drastic difference on how you connect with people on Facebook.  I ask nothing from you except that if you do implement and succeed with it, please send me a video testimonial as I would love to celebrate you!

If you’re looking for an Accountability Coach who is Success Driven and will save you thousands of hours and dollars in loooong learning curves, I invite you to send your Application for my One on One Coaching Programs – www.SuccessDrivenCoaching.com.

How to Connect With V.I.Ps on Facebook is a post from: Emma Tiebens | The Relational Marketer

Over the weekend, my husband and I sat quietly watching Denzel Washington’s movie, “Unstoppable” through Netflix.   There was a scene there where there was this massive unmanned runaway train and Denzel was going to risk his life to stop the train and save the town from all the toxic cargo it had.  The owner of the company was livid because he already has plans to derail the train and yet Denzel is risking his life for the cause.  When his boss asked him why he’s doing it despite being fired and given his 90-days notice for no reason, he said: “I’m not doing this for you…”

I had a really profound  conversation with my husband about that.  We went back and forth, “agreeing to disagree” but admittedly, he brought up a good question.

Do people really buy only from people they like?  Do you really need to be liked to gain customers?

His background is Aerospace Engineering but prior to that, he was a Director of Sales for a big rubber and alloy company and their clients were predominantly huge aerospace companies with billion dollar programs.  He said that there were so many personality conflicts and ego floating around in that industry that one doesn’t really need to be liked for transactions to happen. You just need to have the best product and pricing.

Honestly, I was almost stumped when he said that because I saw his point.

HOWEVER, here’s how I responded to that.  When we talk about product and you are the only one or the best one at what’s being offered, being liked is probably not as relevant.  All the customer wants is a good reliable product  and of course,

A TRUSTED REPUTATION.

I told him that his clients may not necessarily like him – which they do – but somehow, they have to be able to TRUST the company and the brand.

As a Relational Marketer, having clients who are Authors, Speakers, Coaches and Business Owners, I always talk about how your marketing efforts are off K.I.L.T.E.R. if your prospects don’t get to:

K – Know

I – Involve

L – Like

T – Trust

E – Embrace

R – Respect

It is an ongoing process to make sure that your marketing efforts are on track and I have simplified all of that with The Emma5.

So, my answer to the question, “Do You Really Need To Be Liked” is  YES.  Do you need to like me immediately? Probably not.  Just like Trust, to be Liked is subjective and it does take time.  However, do you need to be liked before any business transaction could take place?  Not always, but most often than not, the answer is YES!

Our potential clients are getting more savvy and rightfully so as there are so many choices out there for experts and people we will allow to speak into our lives and influence us.

Being KNOWN is the first step and that is achieved through being visible online.  As you become more visible, and start INVOLVE-ing your prospects now get to decide whether they LIKE you enough to consume your offerings and content.  After being liked comes being TRUSTED.  Trust is the result of repetition and consistency.  When you then allow them to EMBRACE you by sharing of your authenticity, you earn their RESPECT and they not only do business with you but they become raving fans and a referrals for life.

This right here is my secret in making sure that my marketing is never off K.I.L.T.E.R.

Our Facebook Group, The Relational Marketers – is a great community to exercise sharing of your authenticity and expertise and as you give to the group, you get so much in return. Come see for yourself…

Do You Really Need to Be Liked? is a post from: Emma Tiebens | The Relational Marketer

Happy Summer! I trust you are enjoying this amazing
time of the year with family and friends!

I don’t know about you but summer has always been a time when I am tempted
to slow down, kick back and cut back on my productivity.  However, every time I do this, I find myself playing struggling to play catch up in the fall, when businesses are jumpstarting back up for the holidays.

It dawned on me…If I am experiencing this, then perhaps you just might
be experiencing it too!  You know what I mean… Temptation to limit your working hours to make time for:

1. Beach parties
2. Barbeques
3. Exotic Trips
4. Cruises
5. Camping
6. Hiking
7. Shopping
8. Poolside Lounging
9. Etc…

What’s so bad about that? Well…

1. Business is neglected.
2. Blog gets stale
3. Social media becomes unmanaged
4. Relationship building is put on pause
5. Inspiration to create content is diminished
6. The stream of prospective clients gets narrower
7. Profits start dropping
8. Some clients end up working with your competition.

What if there was a way for you to be able to make this your best – most productive and most profitable summer EVER?

What if you actually discover a way to enjoy your summer and still:

1. Multiply your efforts
2. Put your marketing on turbo speed
3. Get more online social media visibility
4. Have an army of “sales reps” marketing on your behalf, 24 hours a day
5. Finally produce those 20 videos you’ve been meaning to produce.
6. Jumpstart your email marketing and start connecting with your customers.
7.  Start your brand and reputation management
8. Give your business brand a noticeable and highly converting “facelift”
9. Dominate Google and search engines for your product and service.
10. Engage a following of loyal customers who not only continue to do business
with you but continue to refer people to you.

If this sounds like an impossible dream, you’re right.  Entrepreneurs who want
to spend a quality and meaningful summer with their family will never accomplish all of these without seeking and investing in an expert who can help make this happen.

I know all about wanting to do it on your own.  You probably are saying to yourself: “I can’t hire an expert because…”

1. “I can do this myself…”
2. “Social media is all that I need to get visibility…”
3. “Video? Who needs video?”
4. “I don’t need a brand… I don’t understand it so I don’t need it.”
5. “I already have a big following on Facebook and Twitter…”
6.  “I have enough business already…”
7.  “I don’t know who to trust…”
8.  “I don’t have enough funds to invest in an expert…”
9.  “I am already spending on magazine ads and direct mailers…”
10. “I am already doing Groupon and Living Social…”

Well, these reasons are all great if your business can’t handle any more business, but reality is most businesses still needs to go from “Invisible To Visible” and the number one reason they’re not is:

THEY JUST DON’T KNOW HOW TO DO EVERYTHING THAT IT TAKES TO MARKET EFFECTIVELY AND SUCCESSFULLY ONLINE.

And for those who do, they don’t have the time to do marketing and run a successful business at the same time.  They know they need help but they don’t know who to actually trust!  So, they end up dabbling, experimenting and worse, they postpone taking action and they lose precious resources of time, money and yes, valuable customers in the process.

My heart ached – and continues to ache -  when I witness this vicious cycle happening to hundreds of  local and online businesses and seeing some of them even closing their doors for good because they simply couldn’t manage to stay in business.  I told myself, if there was only a way I could help them.

All of sudden, I realized that I can indeed help them!  Instead of offering pure business consulting and group coaching, why not do it all for them?  Having created successful and profitable campaigns for many satisfied clients, I knew that by offering a full-service VIP Diamond Package where we get to do EVERYTHING FOR YOU would not only eliminate excuses but will cut years off your learning curve and experience success faster!

After initially offering this to only a select group of entrepreneurs, it is my distinct honor to introduce you to:

www.GetItDoneEmma.com

Why? Because nothing gives me greater joy than to see entrepreneurs getting out of overwhelm, making a commitment to their success, having more time for those who matter most and truly creating a powerful, compelling, engaging and profitable business online and offline!

The downside?  Well… I can only help 3 business each month because this is not an assembly line… this is the Rolls Royce of all of my offerings.  This is not group coaching or consulting, nor am I sending you a “do-it-yourself” system.  This is a personalized and highly customized for you and your business.

GetItDoneEmma.com is exactly what it says it does… my team of highly skilled and masterful professionals will work with you to create the best marketing campaign you have ever experienced!

Is this service for you? Maybe… maybe not.  I have to be honest…  I don’t accept everyone.   This is by “Application Only” as I have to be sure that we are a perfect match for each other. To complete an application, scroll down and fill out the Application Form below...

However, if you made it this far in reading this post, you probably already know my commitment to success and excellence and that you would like to be one of the 3 I will be working with in July,  please send me an email ASAP at info@therelationalmarketer.com and leave the best number to reach you so we can schedule your strategy session with me ASAP! We’ll fill out your application during our session.

Oh and for the first 10 to respond, I have a gift for you.  I will  create a Customized Blueprint for your business  that will be yours to keep whether you decide to work with us or not… Sounds fair?

What’s the catch? There is none except that with your new found freedom, you can very well say that this is your best summer ever!

I look forward to speaking you soon and helping you create a highly Visible, Influential and Profitable business!

I’m Cheering You On To Your Success!

Your Best Summer Ever! is a post from: Emma Tiebens | The Relational Marketer

Looking back at the snapshot of our past two years, this truly has captured the profound father and son relationship he and Garrett have.

I told him that anytime he’s feeling…

Overwhelm
Disappointed
Doubtful
Sad
Frustrated
Uncertain
And whatever “icky” feeling he goes through in his life

I would love for him to watch this video over and over to remind him that he simply is:

OUR HERO

My "Dada"... My Hero - by Garrett Tiebens

“Dada” was the first word Garrett ever uttered when he was 2 months old. I thought for sure it would be “Mama”, but Gary won that well-deserved honor.

Garrett and I want to thank him for all that he is and all that he does to be sure we continue to respect each other and support each other’s dreams and really knowing that:

GOD LIVES IN THIS HOME…
FAMILY COMES FIRST…
DREAM BIG DREAMS…

To all you wonderful Father’s out there, a very HAPPY FATHER’S DAY to you. You are the pillar of the family… the seat from whence dreams begin… You are all heroes!!!

Yes, like most “Mompreneurs” – wife, mother, entrepreneur – I am an expert at multi-tasking and making sure clients are cared for, Garrett’s school work is done, there’s food on the table, the bills are paid and the family has a social calendar. At times, I may seem like I don’t need any support as I am so capable and I have it all together….

Truth be told, it is my husband Gary’s love, support and belief in me that has enabled me to live our dreams and make all these happen.

For that…

I HONOR YOU, “DADA” GARY!!!

To all you wonderful Dads…. HAPPY FATHER’S DAY… may you all be honored, pampered and showered with love today and always!!!  You are all heroes!  (Always have… always will be as I have shared in my last year’s Father’s Day post… click here to read that post)

Grow Rich While You Sleep… Go From Zero To Online Hero.

Here in my car waiting for my Mom at her doctor’s appointment.  I couldn’t resist creating this video and post about a book that I am absolutely loving right now…

“Grow Rich While You Sleep…”

There is a quote in the book that goes:

“One Works Harder At Being A Failure Than At Being A Success…”

This hit home rather clearly… In the past, I remember how I would focus and fret over these thoughts:

• I’m not good enough.
• People won’t be interested in what I have to share
• I need to learn more before I can accept clients
• People won’t hire me as I don’t have success stories
• I don’t think people can duplicate my process or system.
• I might say the wrong thing…What will they think of me?
• I don’t want to offend anybody
• Etc…

I didn’t realize that by keeping these negative thoughts and concerns that were becoming my reality, I am working hard at being a failure rather than being a success.

Up until 2 years ago…

It was then at this Traffic Geyser Live Event in San Diego, California when two milestones happened in my life:

1)  The Relational Marketer was born

2)  I accepted the fact that I have a message important enough to share with the
world using video marketing.

I created my very first video on January 27, 2009 and since then I have become an Author, Speaker and Online Marketing Consultant that has created many success stories, using this best kept secret.

Sadly, even if I thought long and hard before I made a decision to share this secret with a lot of people who need this, only few will take action and check it out.

I trust that if you’re reading this, I have somewhat gained your trust and are most likely to check out what I am talking about.

Grow Rich While You Sleep has reminded me that “wishing” and “knowing” are worlds apart….

Do you know the difference?

Wishing is hoping for something but not believing you’re going to get it because of how you perceive yourself and the limitations you put on yourself…

Knowing is believing that you ALREADY are who it is  you want to become.   Funny, I became a Speaker in my mind first, then I really became one… I believed I was an Author first, before I became one.  I believed the tools that were presented to me, to be necessary for me to become a successful Online Marketing Consultant and I now I am one!

Don’t take my word for it… find out for yourself how I went “From Zero to Online Hero”.

When I say “hero” it’s not coming from an inflated ego… it stems from a grateful heart that is still in disbelief at the incredible specialized knowledge I have amassed through the years and the Mentors and relationships I now have.

And it all stemmed from believing that “I Am Already Successful” even before the money started coming in and simply moving forward, continuing to hold on to that belief!

So, will you choose to go “From Zero To Online Hero”?  You already have hero skills… you just need to fine tune those skills and find people you can save…

In the words of Buzz LIghtyear… “to infinity and beyond!”

Real quick…

I am sure if you’ve been an online marketer for the past year or so, you already know the importance of video marketing. I am truly passionate about teaching my clients how to utilize video marketing to tie their marketing efforts together!

However… I totally understand that sometimes, we’re not too comfortable with video and it takes quite a while to get used to video… I totally empathize with you as I too have been frightened with video for as long as I can remember until I made a decision to go for it because I know that my life’s message will impact a lot of people!

On January 27, 2009, I created and posted my first video on YouTube… now I have hundreds of them online!

So, today I thought of you and this new service that I just found more about…

SoundCloud.com – it’s pretty amazing as you’re able to share it via email and on other networking sites…

So there you go… no more excuses! When you don’t feel like appearing on video but have a message you want to share, you can use your iPhone or other smart phone, or even your computer’s built-in microphone and upload them on SoundCloud.com and share it with the world!

After all, to become a true Relational Marketer, your prospects have to know, like and trust you… Audio and video are two incredible ways for them to get a feel for your heart…

I will be launching “Random Thoughts By The Relational Marketer” and guess what? Most of my posts will be via SoundCloud.com.

So go ahead, try it and let me know how it works out for you! Better yet, teach us more features that we probably haven’t discovered…

Until next time…

It’s Time To Monetize Your Message! is a post from: Emma Tiebens | The Relational Marketer

I have been up since 2:45 am PST, sitting on my bed in my hotel room here in Austin, TX digesting the Mastermind my partner Stevi Sullivan and had yesterday with Mike Dillard.

Emma and Stevi Masterminding With Mike Dillard

I was one of Mike’s “pioneering” students 2 years ago and when I came to his Traffic Formula LIVE Event in this same hotel in June of 2008, all I wanted was to find a better way to market my network marketing opportunity online to create more leverage for myself and my team.

At Mike Dillard's "Green Room" in MS Headquarters

Little did I know that 2 years later, I would be back to see Mike but this time in a very intimate and exclusive Mastermind Group where we get to consult individually with him and create a marketing strategy that is congruent with what our strengths are.

I asked Mike if he would be willing to share on video, what it is that he thinks I can offer to online entrepreneurs and he graciously gave me a response that validated why I love what I do, but it also clarified why it is important for entrepreneurs to learn this simple strategy that I teach:

BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR LIST.

It sounds simple, but let me tell you, it’s not as simple as it seems. You have to make a conscious effort to really build a relationship with your list and not just treat them as numbers…

How can you create a powerful relationship with your list?

1) Have the genuine desire to truly help them.
2) Give something of value – an article, a book recommendation, links to relevant videos and blogposts.
3) Send them personal messages even though they are delivered by an autoresponder.
4) Become a Connector… if you know people who can benefit from each other, make the introduction
5) Be a Listener… sometimes people just want to be heard.
6) Encourage others – even just a simple encouraging word can change lives!
7) Do what you say you’re going to do – trust is the #1 currency online!

Mike’s “Words of Wisdom” on this video are highly profound and powerful! If you heed his advice, and really do what you can do to build a relationship with your list, you just might find your most loyal advocates, just waiting for you to connect with them.

Click here for more photos of our exclusive Mastermind With Mike Dillard.

You probably already know Mike Dillard and already own Magnetic Sponsoring.  However, if you don’t own one yet and if you’re an entrepreneur wondering what Magnetic Sponsoring is, I urge you to  find out as the lessons there can  potentially change your lives, I invite you to click here to order your own copy Magnetic Sponsoring.

This will be the best $39 you’ll ever spend!
