Jim’s Golden Nuggets
The Right Sale Could Make (Or Break) Your Business… Your Choice!
Hey, I just got off a two-hour interview with marketing genius, Dan Kennedy.
I interview him every month along with Russell Brunson for the NO BS newsletter (which is amazing by the way! If you’re not a member of this, you should be!)
(This picture is from the “Day with Dan” at FHL 2022 where I got to grill him for 4 hours!)
We were talking about the topic of a future issue of the newsletter, specifically about running promotional sales and how the right sale can make your business… but the wrong sale can crush your future sales for years to come.
I wanted to share a few things with you about running promotional sales, and specifically running promotions in general this time of year.
Why? Because everybody and their brother is about ready to run a sale, which means in many cases it’s going to be a rush to the bottom as far as pricing.
One of the things you also want to be careful not to do is train people to wait until you do a sale in order to buy from you.
This is a HUGE mistake a lot of people make, and it costs them big! How? Because without running the sale nobody buys because they are waiting for the next sale!
Which means it’s a race to the bottom just like in the furniture or mattress stores that run a new sale every week.
So I wanted to share with you a nice big, fat juicy list of reasons you could run a sale that wouldn’t necessarily condition people to wait for you to do a sale.
Instead of doing a Black Friday sale like everybody else…. or a Christmas sale like everybody else…. or Fourth of July… Memorial Day… or Labor Day Sale like everybody else, take a look at this neato list of excuses to do a sale and see if there aren’t a couple in there that you could use to skyrocket your bottom line.
Enjoy!

Do You Feel Out Of Balance? You Need This!
Earlier this week I mentioned how important it is to focus on the right thing in order to make more sales and serve more people. For me, balance and focus go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other, at least not in my experience.
If you’re off balance, you can’t focus on the right things.
I got out of balance over the last few months for different reasons.
One of the main reasons I got out of balance was that I lost…
