On the twelfth day of Christmas, Mesmerizzzed! gives to you -

ten press releases,

nine networking ace's,

eight advertising "don'ts,"

seven direct mail steps,

six customer solutions,

FIVE MARKETING KEYS,

four sales methods,

three pricing strategies,

two engineered products and a focused target market.

Implement these twelve strategies - and watch your profits double - or more - in twelve months - or less!

1. Appoint a designated marketing guerrilla

Someone on your team - maybe you - needs to be thinking about marketing all of the time. Someone needs to be on the lookout for marketing opportunities - because ways to grow your business are always passing in front of you

2. Conduct weekly learning sessions

Invest at least sixty minutes per week learning about the keys to success in your business - and involve your team in sessions on marketing, sales, customer service. Be sure the learning doesn't stop in the classroom - put your lessons into practice every week.

3. Establish a new strategic alliances every month

Commit to finding a new partner every month - an alliance for mutual benefit. How much will your business grow with twelve new partners each year?

4. Become a recognized expert in your field

You know your business. Start telling the world what you know. Publish articles. Author a column. Get interviewed. Become the "go to" person in your industry - and leave your quiet persona at home.

5. Take a customer to lunch

Take a valued customer to lunch, at least monthly. Learn why they decided to buy from you. Learn what you do well - and what you can do better. Ask why they would refer someone to you - and why they wouldn't. Thank them for being a customer. If you are listening, it could earn you a lifetime of loyalty.

6. Conduct quarterly competitive analyses

Stop thinking that you are better than your competition - prove it. Conduct first-hand research on your competitors. Get their literature. Study their website. Send secret shoppers in to gather intelligence. You are at war - so gather a little intelligence to win the battle.

7. Bundle your products and services

Take a step back and study your products and services. What could you do to create a package of services of greater value - and bundle the pricing to generate more sales?

8. Get involved in a Master Mind Group

Are you tired of having goals but not reaching them? Get involved in a master mind group that will help hold you accountable for doing what you promise to do.

9. Be willing to play a bigger game

Step out of your comfort zone and bring more passion into your business life. Find ways to do more, serve more, be more - and enjoy the rewards of a bigger game.

10. Invite abundance into your life

Have you seen "The Secret?" Visit www.thesecret.tv today and order two copies - one for yourself and one to give away. You'll be amazed at ho much abundance flows back to you.

11. Double everyone's fun at work

Life is way to short to do anything that isn't fun. Commit to making work more fun - we spend half of our waking hours there - let's enjoy it!

12. Engage a consultant or coach to take you to the next level

Do you want to get to the next level? Engage a consultant or a coach to help take you there. Hey, if Tiger Woods needs a coach, how can you think you don't need one?
