Well hello again, has it really been a month since the last time? time is really flowing by.
I want to share with you all something that I've been doing over the last few months.
Using myself as a guinea pig I have been experimenting with ways of generating new business and clients that does not cost any money !!!!!
And I have to say it has proven to be incredibly successful. Over the last six months using my own personal website www.gerardodonovan.com
and my own blog, and combining that with a unique strategy linked to online social networking sites, articles, and press releases and much more. I have managed to generate a very large and substantial amount of enquiries for my own personal coaching service.( over 2500 )
All at the cost of ZERO ( it did take some of my time however)
I am going to be sharing a lot of these ideas in a new course I shall be putting together in the next few months, and if you would like to keep updated on how I am continuing to do this then please feel free to follow me on Twitter on
http://twitter.com/gerardodonovan
and to read my daily blog at
http://www.gerardodonovan.com/blog/
I am also delighted to report that after many months of preparation we are very nearly ready to launch our new NLP Practitioner Course. So please keep your eyes open for information.
I guarantee that when we launch this very special course it will be at a price that will be much much less than all of the competition
Warmest
Gerard

Hello,
Would you like 99% off a wealth seminar taught by millionaires?
If you haven’t already attended this event, it is certainly worth getting your tickets before the incredible launch promotion finishes. (Events in London, Manchester, Bristol and Edinburgh)
Here are the details:
If you're quick, you can attend the new 2 day 'Build Your Wealth' training course from WinInvesting for just £7 + VAT instead of £1970 (over 10,000 people have already paid £1970 to attend their other training courses, so this really is an amazing offer!)
You'll be learning from the UK's leading experts on business, the internet, tax, property, shares and wealth psychology (people who walk their talk, including several multi-millionaires)
If you'd like more info or to book your place see below, or go to:
www.wininvesting.co.uk/BuildYourWealth/index.php?lid=2036&st=e
So why only £7+ vat? During the launch period they’re giving this offer to ensure that the event is fully booked and to generate some great word of mouth publicity. They’re also fine tuning the event to turn it into a home-study product that they can sell.
Here’s what people had to say about the last event:
‘Everything exceeded my expectations, I had the best 2 days in a long time’ Ms T Vuromd
‘The course was very very informative and the speakers brilliant, definitely a must’ Mr De Barry
‘A fantastic weekend of life changing knowledge and know how – an outstanding event’ Mr J Watson
To book your place go to
www.wininvesting.co.uk/BuildYourWealth/index.php?lid=2036&st=e
Warmest Regards
Gerard O’Donovan – Noble Manhattan
P.S. Plus at the event you'll be able to have a free 1 to 1 session with any of the following:
(at future events there is likely to be a £100 fee for this alone!)
- The stock market trainers can help you setup everything you need to successfully start trading.
- The morrtgage experts, can show you what options you have available to maximize your resources.
- The property portfolio advisors can help you work out the best strategy to build your property wealth.
- The success coaches, can help you work out how to achieve your goals as quickly and easily as possible.
From Win-investing:
Training course places will be given on a strictly first come first served basis, so you'll need to be quick as we expect the promotional launch offer to be at least 10 times over-subscribed.
If you don't manage to get a place, it is still definitely worth attending at the full price of £1970!
To book your place go to www.wininvesting.co.uk/BuildYourWealth/index.php?lid=2036&st=e
Why are we letting the first 200 people attend for just £7 + VAT?
Basically this fee only covers our costs for the 2 days i.e. the seminar room, speaker fees, staff.
There are three reasons why we are happy to do this: First, all attendees that get a place at this reduced rate will be agreeing that the event can be filmed – as we want to turn this course into a product that we can then sell for £1,970. Plus we will be asking a few of you for testimonials about how great the training was!
Second, we want to ensure the event is fully booked during the launch period and that we generate some great word of mouth publicity.
And third, we know from experience when someone receives an invitation to attend an event like this it will typically only attract those people that are committed to investing in raising the quality of their lives... people like you!
To get your place go to www.wininvesting.co.uk/BuildYourWealth/index.php?lid=2036&st=e

A tidal wave of clients
Would you like to attract lots of clients and a lot of sales leads?
Many of you might be aware that over the last 12 months I have been using myself as a guinea pig.
I decided to set myself the task of generating as many clients as I could ever hope to manage completely free.
Yes that's right without it costing a penny !!
To do that I set out a very unique and cutting-edge strategy. This I have been using now for 12 months and it has generated over 3000 ( yes 3000) genuine Leads and prospects.
Having now learned how to do this in a way that is completely different to the way most people build their business. I now want to teach ALL our Students and Coaches how to do the same.
Eventually I fully intend to turn this into a formal course.
However initially, I am willing to run a Beta course for a limited amount of people.
Teaching them how I have done this.
I will then incorporate the feedback from this initial group into the final course.
If you would like to work with me personally and learn these incredible techniques
Then please contact Stacey Melvin at the office and let her know of your interest.
This initial course will take place over 5 , 1-hour sessions conducted by Skype or something similar at the rate of approximately 1 a week for four weeks.
The initial cost of this beta course will be £150 + VAT
Initially we do not want you to pay any money. Just to register your interest in taking part.

How to Market Effectively
Headlines - the most important part of your marketing communication
* Testimonials - how to get the most from this FREE marketing tool
* Why do we do this? A word from the team at Professional Mailing
Headlines - the most powerful part of your marketing communication
The headline is, without argument, the most important part of ANY
marketing communication - whether that is a sales letter, print
advertisement, web page, brochure or exhibition stand.
Why "without argument"? Simple - you can have written the best marketing
copy in the world - a real copywriting dream - but unless you can excite
readers enough to read it then all your effort is totally wasted. If your
headline does not captivate your reader's attention they will not [repeat,
will not!] read the rest of your communication.
Add to this the fact that you only have between 3 and 8 seconds to capture
the reader's attention you can quickly see why a headline has to work
hard.
The key word here is ATTENTION. You need to grab the reader by the scruff
of the neck and shake them!
So how do you achieve this?
Here are 4 simple steps to help you write POWERFUL headlines:
1. Define WHO it is you want to capture the attention of. Write it
down. What makes your product/service valuable to them?
2. Personalise it.
A good tip here is to consider the fact that your headline will be read by
one person at a time and write accordingly. Think about the reader as a
person - an individual
3. Tell the reader what is the most important benefit to them, as an
individual.
4. Use power words - You, Free, New, Fast, Guaranteed, Proven, Just
£100 etc.
Your headline should achieve one of the following:
a) Immediately convey the benefit on offer - e.g. "cut
the cost of your motor insurance in half!"
b) Imply the benefit - e.g. "Are you looking to reduce
the cost of your motor insurance?"
c) Ask a compelling question - e.g. "What would you do
if I offered you £1000 in cash?"
d) Give the reader important information, that may be
new to them - e.g. "Are you aware that over 192 million days are lost each
year through staff illness?"
Why not try collecting headlines from mailings, press advertisements etc.
that you have seen? You may just see one that you can adapt to your
business! After all the big advertisers [Virgin, Egg, Orange etc.] employ
the best copywriters in the world - that is how they make their living.
And you can benefit from their expertise FREE OF CHARGE!
One final tip - AVOID USING HUMOUR - it very rarely works. What may be
hilariously funny to you probably isn't to the next person!
Testimonials - how to get the most from this FREE marketing
Testimonials are a great way of adding credibility to what you do. They
can help convince people that your service or product is good - it is as
simple as that!
How often have you been to see a prospective customer, who you know needs
your product or service and can afford to pay for it, but just needs a
little extra persuasion? Maybe they don't quite believe that you can
deliver what you claim you can, or whether it is safe to buy from you -
after all they may not know you from Adam!
What this prospective customer is asking you to do is to prove to them
that they can believe you. And what better way to show them what other
customers have said about you! You wheel out your file of testimonials!
But how do you go about getting customers to give you testimonials?
Simple answer: ASK THEM!
You have nothing to be afraid of if you think about it - they are
satisfied with your service so why shouldn't they be prepared to tell
other people?
With this in mind, there are 3 ways to actually get customer testimonials:
1. Ring them up and ask them!
Simply pick up the telephone and say, "Were you happy with XYZ? Would you
be prepared to give me a testimonial that I could use?"
Simple as that!
Truth is that whilst most people will find it impossible to say "No" they
often won't get round to actually writing one for you. Or if they do it
might not be exactly what you are looking for.
2. Write the testimonial for them
Once you have agreement from someone that they are prepared to give you a
testimonial, take the effort away from them.
Write the testimonial on their behalf and fax it over to them with the
following note:
"Thanks very much for agreeing to provide a testimonial on my behalf. As I
know you are extremely busy I have taken the liberty of drafting a few
words on your behalf.
If you are happy with the content would you please sign and fax back to me
on headed paper.
Many thanks in advance. Etc."
3. Use client satisfaction surveys to gather testimonials
Everyone should routinely conduct customer satisfaction surveys as a
matter of course - if you are not ask yourself "why not?". Are you
frightened of what you may hear? Or do you not care about what your
customers think about you? Or are you unsure of what to ask?
Customer satisfaction surveys are an easy to obtain testimonials if you
just ask!
For example use the following questions:
a) on a scale of 1 to 10 [where 1 is excellent and 10 is awful] how
well have we......
b) on a scale of 1 to 10 how satisfied are you with our service to you?
c) If you experience has been positive would you care to provide a
testimonial for use in our promotional materials?
Don't forget them to ask for signed permission to use it before you print
it anywhere.
Remember testimonials can be a very powerful sales tool, a form a valuable
part of your sales tool-kit. Plus they are very easy AND FREE to get!
Thanks and good luck.
