/> I hate to be a Negative Ned here but Social Media ain’t FREE. Last time I checked your time should be worth at a minimum $125.00 per hour, if you wish to net $200,000.00 a year in income. So if you’re spending 2 hours a day on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn it’s costing you roughly 2 Hours x 250 work days x $125.00 per hour = $62,500.00 to engage in Social Media. So what is your ROI on your Social Media strategy. All great companies are doing both online and offline marketing efforts. But if you want to make REAL money you put something in the mail, the saying goes the “more you mail, the more you make.”</p><p><strong>Inside This Video You’ll Discover:</strong></p><ul><li>The more you mail the more you make.</li></ul><ul><li>Slicing and dicing your mailing list.</li></ul><ul><li>A wicked awesome gift to give to your clients.</li></ul><ul><li>Great companies have Social Media and Print Advertisements.</li></ul><ul><li>How to create multiple Robotic Security Selling Systems.</li></ul><p>Have a Great Weekend!

style="font-size: small;">Lady Gaga</span></strong><br
/> I don’t know if you’re a hipster or not, but I have two young girls that keep my music tastes pretty dope. When I drive them to school in the morning, I hear it all. The one musical artist that both my girls LOVE is Lady Gaga. The girls told me that she’s got millions and millions of facebook likes, so I checked it out. Lady G actually has 46,983,191 facebook fan page likes, and her latest video, “Marry The Night,” has 31,808,176 YouTube views. Those are some pretty powerful numbers, hombre.</p><p><strong>My Account Says You Can’t Deposit “Likes” or “Views” Into A Bank Account</strong><br
/> In Social Media, it’s very hard to place a metric value on what a facebook “like” or a YouTube “view” is worth. If you’re a small-to-large security integrator, you can’t deposit “likes” or “views” in your bank account. But what you can deposit are checks. Of course, someone like Lady Gaga is monetizing social media with her entire social media team. So what can you monetize to make big ducats?</p><p><strong>What Every Good Security Dealer Needs To Bring In A Huge Cash Stream&#8230;Is My done-for-you J.V. Sales Letter</strong><br
/> You should be nurturing and monetizing relationships with other business folks who have a client base that consists of your ideal clients.

I have WEEI Sports Radio Boston on in the the background and I’m listening to Coach Belichick being interviewed about his game plan against the Baltimore Ravens. The one thing Belichick said that struck a nerve with me was how he was talking about turning a disadvantage into an advantage and if you can’t pay attention to the little things in practice and on game day, then it will kill you. The motto that he hammers through the skulls of his players are “little things make the big things happen,” and obviously we had a Patriots Victory yesterday because we did the little things better. The same can be said about the San Francsico 49ers and the New York Giants game; it came down to the little things that made the difference between the Giants winning and San Fran losing.</p><p><strong>Little Hinges Swing Big Bank Vault Doors</strong><br
/> Another great analogy that I love from the late, great salesmen W. Clement Stone (who employed over a 1,000 direct sales insurance reps during the Great Depression) is his saying that “little hinges swing big doors.” I can really only think of two things to become a serious student in learning how to have a very, very BIG BANK BALANCE:</p><p><strong>First Off,</strong><br
/> Self-Improvement&#8230;Improving Your Self-Image, Self-Confidence, Communication Skills and Sales Skills.</p><p><strong>Secondly,</strong><br
/> Advertising and Marketing, because that’s where the REAL money is at!</p><p>Another great quote by W. Clement Stone (that he had his sales reps write on the binders of their personal notebooks) was: <strong>Do It Now!</strong></p><p>Improve in these two areas <strong>RIGHT NOW!</strong></p><p>Peace, out!<br

This month’s issue has The Black Keys on the front cover. The Black Keys new CD “El Camino” is friggin’ killer.</p><p>The one article I want to talk with you about today is from the Rolling Stones Q&amp;A column. This Q&amp;A session is with Dave Grohl, lead singer and front man for the Foo Fighters about being real and true to yourself. The Foo Fighters latest CD “Wasting Light” has been nominated for six Grammy awards.</p><p><span
style="font-size: small;"><strong>Analog To Tape</strong></span><br
/> Unlike the band&#8217;s previous two albums, Wasting Light was recorded in Dave Grohl&#8217;s garage in Encino, California, as opposed to the band&#8217;s home-built studio, Studio 606. Regarding this decision, Grohl states: &#8220;There&#8217;s poetry in being the band that can sell out Wembley Stadium, but also make a record in a garage. Why go into the most expensive studio with the biggest producer and use the best state-of-the-art equipment? Where&#8217;s the rock ‘n&#8217; roll in that?&#8221; Grohl added it was a way to &#8220;do something really primal sounding,&#8221; innovate, break people&#8217;s expectations and &#8220;make records the way we used to f**king make records.”</p><p>The album was recorded entirely using analogue equipment until post-mastering, Grohl said it was done that way because he felt digital recording was getting out of control &#8211; &#8220;when I listen to music these days, and I hear Pro Tools and drums that sound like a machine- it kinda sucks the life out of music.&#8221; &#8211; and the analog would make the record &#8220;sound rawer and somewhat imperfect,” something which guitarist Chris Shiflett agreed was beneficial, declaring that &#8220;rock ‘n&#8217; roll is about flaws and imperfections.”</p><p><iframe

style="font-size: small;"><strong>Rock Star Security Dealer &#8211; How Can You Be Real In Today’s Security Business?</strong></span><br
/> In the subject line I told you today I&#8217;d share with you how to get your clients to make a proclamation like, &#8220;My security company rocks!&#8221; or &#8220;I love MY security company!&#8221;</p><p>Because, if that&#8217;s not the response your clients have when the subject of security comes up, you&#8217;ve got a lot of work to do &#8211; and in some cases, much- needed repair work to a relationship you&#8217;ve put hope into, but nothing more.</p><p>Here&#8217;s what I mean:</p><p>You don&#8217;t have to be the coolest hombre in town to wow your clients, but you do have to be something many, many have a hard time being:</p><p>YOURSELF &amp; BEING REAL</p><p>Yes, just being you is often enough.<br
/> That means, if you&#8217;re quirky, don&#8217;t hide it.<br
/> If you like only black jelly beans and hate the rest, don&#8217;t eat &#8216;em just because it&#8217;s polite.<br
/> Have an opinion. BE someone..<br
/> If you like fishing, don&#8217;t hide it.<br
/> If you like salsa dancing, don’t hide it.<br
/> If you like CIGARS, don&#8217;t hide it.<br
/> Talk about your favorite beers with the clients you know like beer, too.<br
/> If you like fast cars, don&#8217;t hide it.<br
/> If you&#8217;re on your 3rd wife, WHY HIDE IT?<br
/> BE someone, as in, be yourself.</p><p>(Hint: This is all about creating and living your brand &#8211; your brand is you and what you<br
/> love, hate and your passions. STAND for something, or, as the song goes, you&#8217;ll fall for anything, right?)</p><p>When you are you, people will react far more favorable than if you pretend to be something you are not.</p><p>They will have to make a choice: LOVE you or hate you. At least they&#8217;ve decided and you know where they stand.</p><p>Look&#8230;</p><p>The two most profitable guys I know in security are outrageous in some fashion!</p><p>One guy, and I&#8217;ve seen this, wears SHORTS and tennis shoes on Fridays. He&#8217;s even broken rules of some kind, I&#8217;m sure, by wearing flip-flops. But, guess what? That is HIM. HE pulls it off. HE is a relaxed, easy-going dude.</p><p>I also know a guy that wears funky suspenders and a bow tie everyday. Every day, MONEY flows into his bank account.</p><p>Why?</p><p>People LIKE and enjoy who he is and neither one of these guys pretend to be something they&#8217;re not.</p><p><strong><span
style="font-size: small;">Tough Times For Rock ‘N’ Roll &amp; Security Dealers</span></strong><br
/> It’s obvious that rock radio has been suffering from some kind of formulaic-playlist syndrome meltdown over the past 10 years, and the same thing goes for security dealer marketing &#8211; where all the security businesses copy each other’s stuff and they all end up looking and sounding the same. It’s your job to break through the clutter. You can do that very effectively with personality driven marketing. Start by just being yourself!</p><p><strong>Now Go Smoke Your Competition!</strong> &#8211;  <a

For one British company, it’s a business plan. BCB International, based in Cardiff, Wales, is marketing its bomb-blocking boxers as a means of protection against  IED Blast (improvised explosive devices) in Iraq and Afghanistan. Called Blast Boxers, The boxers include a knitted Kevlar panel that covers the groin from front to back and extends to the inside of the thighs to protect against femoral artery injuries.</p><p>I want to give you your own set of Blast Boxers for your security business, so you don’t lose your family jewels in this treacherous economy.</p><p><strong>1 &#8211; Your Real Assets</strong><br
/> “What is the single most important asset you have in your security business right now?  And, are you insuring it against loss, disaster, poor technician or poor staff performance, and the like?</p><p>Let me tell you that the Asset I’m referring to is not&#8230;</p><p>Your equipment<br
/> Your vans<br
/> Your technicians<br
/> Your office<br
/> Your office staff<br
/> YOU</p><p>Nope. None of these amount to a hill of beans when compared to the most critical Asset of all.</p><p>What’s funny, though, is this: We all believe, erroneously, that even though all these things are not the most important parts that make up our security businesses, we should insure them so in the event there is disaster, at least you’ll live through it with someone else picking up the tab.  Think of all the insurances we pay for&#8230;van insurance, tool insurance, business liability insurance, worker’s comp insurance, property insurance, health insurance, dental insurance and life insurance. We’re insured up to the WAZOOO!</p><p>But I bet you’re not insuring the one single Asset that can provide you with all the business you need to live the lifestyle you want. Heck, a fair amount of you probably don’t pay a lick of attention to the Asset, or, if you do, you don’t pay very much at all.</p><p>I hope you’ve guessed what the single most important Asset you have in your security business is by now&#8230;if not, it’s MARKETING! A killer security marketing system will immunize your business against ANY down economy and will provide you with cream of the crop clients that Pay, Stay and Refer!</p><p>Is your security marketing system set up and ready to start rolling in new clients and referrals, on a regular basis, for 2012 and beyond?</p><p><strong>2 &#8211; Online Advertising Ain’t Cheap</strong><br
/> Long gone are the days of $2.50 PPC (Pay Per Click) for each home alarm system click through. Nowadays, you’re paying $15.00 for the very same PPC with same keywords. Isn’t paying .44 cents for a First Class Stamp looking like a damn good deal right now?</p><p>Online-offline integration is the name of the game. I know a surprising number of sharp-as-a-tack security honchos  who are making big bucks with radio advertising. And almost all the best security marketers I know are using direct mail profitably.</p><p><strong>3- Not Having A “BRASS BALLS” Guarantee and Great Assurances In Your Business Will Cost You A Fortune!</strong><br
/> Most security dealers/integrators rely on guarantees and warranties to carry the water, but fail to “connect the dots” for the customer so that they serve as proof.</p><p>Here are a real good one:</p><p
style="text-align: center;"><span
style="font-size: medium;"><strong>You’re Gonna Be Smiling Big After You’ve Had Your Security System Installed Or Serviced By My Company</strong></span><br
/> If you are experiencing security problems or are paying more attention to your security needs these days, then you owe it to yourself to get the best possible education, on the security solutions available to you, based on your unique requirements.</p><p>Thus the reason for our <strong>FREE 32-Point On-Site Security Audit</strong> (a $125 value) and the multitude of <strong>Free Security Reports</strong> available on our website. We want to help you make knowledgeable and well-informed decisions BEFORE you invest a dime on security!</p><p><strong>4- Not Using Brain-Dead, Simple Arithmetic In Your Sales Presentations</strong><br
/> It’s very common, and usually wise, to use math comparisons to minimize or even trivialize your price. For example, a $10,000.00 video surveillance system investment cost $1.14 per hour ($10,0000.00 / 8,760 hours) to protect your convenience store over a year. The cameras and the DVR protect against the loss of cigarettes getting boosted, and employees punching in late.</p><p>On average, our nation score is lower than just about any other civilized country in the world in our math abilities &#8211; although we spend more per student on public education than most others do. So don’t you DARE leave math calculations or reasoning in the hands of your prospects.  Math done well can be extremely reassuring. When it reaches the stage of: “any fool can see this is an amazing, tremendous value &#8211; so you would have to be a fool not to grab it,” serves as both motivational and reassuring.</p><p><strong>5 &#8211; A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words</strong><br
/> Photos CAN trump a thousand words. As proof, photos of clients (they should all have most of their teeth) that show people happily enjoying your security system, sound system, guard service, etc. But make it real&#8230;photos of people with their testimonials. Photos of people standing in front of their homes or businesses. Take some corny ones too and show that these are real people, real clients who really enjoy your services. In various controlled tests that attempted to measure trust, photos of married couples almost always beat photos of singe individuals; photos of people with pets outperform those without those cute little critters.</p><p><strong>6 &#8211; The Dirty Little Secret About RMR</strong><br
/> Your RMR will only grow to the extent that you grow as a business person. What you can not and will not outperform is your own self-image. Everyone in the security industry talks about how you can make a fortune in the industry, which is true. What they fail to say is that you have to work on your self image, your self esteem/business-esteem, your business acumen, your technical savvy, your sales and marketing expertise, your people skills and hone the ability to stick to it when the going gets tough and the tough get going.</p><p><strong>7 &#8211; The Power Of “One”</strong><br
/> Having “ONE” security technician with all your technical knowledge and proprietary installation techniques walk out the door, for a $1.00 more per hour raise, to a competitor and leave you stranded. This is why it’s so important to have a team of techs that area all “CROSS-TRAINED” on all the security systems and installation techniques, so that your not co-dependant on any one security tech that can hold you hostage if he or she walks out the door.</p><p><strong>8 &#8211; Queen Bee vs. Worker Bee</strong><br
/> The most difficult thing for a security entrepreneur to do is to quit the worker-bee $15.00 an-hour-work (i.e. running to the supply house, cleaning out the service van, putting paper in the fax machine) so they rarely get to the queen-bee $1,000.00 an-hour-work : marketing for the biz to bring in high qualified new security customers, pre-disposed to do business  with you.</p><p>To market your security business, to attract new customers and keep these customers coming back and referring new clients to you, requires that you systematically reduce the dependency of the security business on you. Don’t overlook this step. This is the “secret honey” to becoming financially independent through owning your own security business.</p><p><strong>9 &#8211; Manual Selling Sucks!</strong><br
/> One of the cornerstone of a Robotic Security Selling Business is having a sales letter, newsletter, email, post card in place that can do your selling for you. A sales rep can only talk with one prospect at a time, a sales letter can talk to hundreds and thousands of prospects at a time. Which do you think is more effective? It’s all about MULTIPLIED SALESMANSHIP!</p><p><strong>10 &#8211; Being Perceived As A Legit Security Expert</strong><br
/> Are your prospects tuning you out and not accepting your security recommendations? Have you been commoditized as JUST another security company – even though you have thousands upon thousands of hours of real world security knowledge that has battle tested knowledge for stopping thieves dead in their tracks? Doesn’t it really piss you off when you lose a security install to a lesser competitor?</p><p>If you’ve answered “Yes” to my questions, then maybe it’s because, even with all your worldly security knowledge, your prospects still see you as a generalist instead of the highly coveted expert, celebrity, authority, or specialist in your field.</p><p><strong>11- Building An Invisible Fence</strong><br
/> A client newsletter creates an almost unbreakable bond that withstands economic uncertainty, and it keeps your clients loyal to your company. It also prevents your clients from jumping ship for low-ball competitors. This is truly the BEST internal security marketing strategy that you can deploy.</p><p><strong>12 &#8211; Creating A Memorable  Experience</strong><br
/> You need to be par excellence. You need to be what Mercedes Benz is to the auto industry. We know live in an economy where folks are looking for and demanding some kind of meaningful and memorable experience when they make a purchase. And will pay more for it…they expect to!</p><p>The BIG question for you is, how can you take and reinvent your security company into an experience that leaves an indelible memory for your clients, and defines you versus all the the other security guys &amp; gals in your area?</p><p><strong>13 &#8211; What Social Media Marketing Really Is Not</strong><br
/> It’s not a sales channel to increase your sales for selling your security systems. You’re not going to vastly increase your sales with a FaceBook Fan Page. Social media is more like a focus group and a way to continue the conversation and increase awareness about your security company. The only person making money in social media is Mark Zuckerberg.</p><p><strong>14 &#8211; Mobile Marketing Massive Potential</strong><br
/> Smart phones are ubiquitous and in every one&#8217;s pocket. You can’t deny the power of the mobile marketplace. App development is going to continue, and the smart phone, QR codes, PURLS, mobile websites, and free recorded messages all that stuff will continue to boost the ability to integrate security marketing online and offline. So your smart telly-phone is a direct response marketing tool that should not be ignored.</p><p

style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Building The Gratitude Muscle</strong></span><br
/> Christmas is just a few weeks away and I’ve been feeling very grateful&#8230;actually I feel grateful all the time. Now, I don’t want to sound like a Buddhist monk, but I’ve been doing something every night for 14 years that makes me feel this way&#8230;it’s my Gratitude Ritual. Before I retire for the night, I scribble down on a pad of yellow paper everything that I’m grateful for from that day or things I might have done to make another person happy.</p><p>I love this quote, &#8220;Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow&#8221; &#8211; Melody Beattie</p><p>Pretty powerful, ain’t it? I&#8217;ve been told that in moments we feel true gratitude, we&#8217;re in one of the most highest and most powerful states we can ever be in as human beings. I&#8217;m sure you can recall a time or two when you were truly feeling grateful for something. All of your &#8220;problems&#8221; instantly went away for a bit, didn&#8217;t they?</p><p>Because of the euphoric state being grateful puts you in, I have recently decided to change my Gratitude Ritual. Now, every morning when I arrive at the office, I make a list of 5 things I&#8217;m genuinely grateful for. Sometimes items repeat themselves, sometimes something comes up just once, due to a recent activity. Either way, my journal has become a place for gratitude rather than just random thoughts and ideas.</p><p>This simple practice takes 5-10 minutes every morning and has changed my life. When you start your day with gratitude, everything you do seems easier, people seem nicer and good things seem to happen more frequently. I encourage you to do this for the coming year. Truly think and FEEL the gratitude as you write these items down. If you do this every morning and allow yourself to feel the gratitude, I guarantee your days will be smoother, more abundant with good things and overall you&#8217;ll be a much happier person. If Feburary rolls around and you haven&#8217;t noticed an ounce of benefit, call me crazy and you can drop this exercise like a bad habit. But I really doubt that will happen.</p><p>I hope you have a safe, joyous holiday season and you understand that I&#8217;m GRATEFUL FOR YOU as a friend, client and a regular reader of my published materials&#8230;Buddha, out.</p><p><strong>Now Go Smoke Your Competition!</strong> &#8211;  <a

style="text-align: left;"><strong>And Those Hollywood Nights&#8230;</strong></p><p><img
class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7916" style="border: 2px solid black;" title="Bob Segar Concert" src="http://securitymarketingguru.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Bob-Segar-Concert.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="382" /><br
/> A couple of nights ago I had the opportunity to see Bob Segar and The Silver Bullet Band at the DCU Center, in good ol&#8217; Worcester, MA. It was a freakin&#8217; amazing show.</p><p>Bob Segar is a classic roots rocker who has a raspy, shouty voice and who is best know for his songs about the &#8220;heartland&#8221; and &#8220;blue collar&#8221; anthems. He wrote such classic hits as &#8220;Hollywood Nights,&#8221; &#8220;We&#8217;ve Got To Night,&#8221; &#8220;Like A Rock,&#8221; &#8220;Old Time Rock and Roll&#8221; and &#8220;Roll Me Away.&#8221;</p><p>Bob Segar didn&#8217;t rely on just ONE song to fill up the DCU Center to its 14,800 person capacity on a cold and rainy Tuesday night in November. No siree! As any worthy musician worth his salt knows, you can&#8217;t rely on just one song to fill up a concert hall and make a fortune.</p><p>Good ol&#8217; Bob has a whole catalog of EMOTIONAL DIRECT RESPONSE music to lure folks into his musical world, on a much deeper level, where you sense that Bob Segar is just whispering in your ear, and speaking to you on a deeper level.</p><p><strong>Your security marketing message is your music!</strong><br
/> Today, security dealers/integrators and consultants can’t rely on one vague soundtrack to be their company anthem, such as &#8220;We’re # 1” or “A name you can trust” or “Security is my Passion” to lure people into their businesses to drum up sales. These brand-canned slogans are not relative messages that match up with your marketplace. In other words, they&#8217;re not messages that resonate well with your prospects. They don&#8217;t benefit your prospects in any way, shape or form and I think you&#8217;d agree with me on this one&#8230;we all buy things for our own benefit or for our loved ones (especially security systems.)</p><p>The only way to penetrate a market is with a killer message that resonates well with your marketplace and compels prospects to call you and only you.</p><p><strong>Bar Brawls, Espionage, SchoolHouse Shootings&#8230;</strong><br
/> These different markets &#8211; Bar Rooms, Corporate Espionage, Schools &#8211; have different audiences that have different reasons for getting high-tech security systems installed. The each have different and unique motivators that start people on the path to having a security system installed in their environment.</p><p><strong>Technology vs. Psychology<br
/> </strong>Technology will always be changing the way you deliver your message to the marketplace (e.g. direct mail, facebook, newsletters, twitter, web sites, SEO, pay per click) But what will not change is the psychology of the message&#8230;the emotional direct response copy.</p><p>Today’s criminals are very good and very creative at committing crimes, so why hasn’t your brand-canned slogan changed since 1979 to match the robberies, break-ins, thefts, and home invasions of the wealthy, bar brawls, schoolhouse shootings, industrial espionage, etc? You need a different emotionally compelling message, targeted to the right market, for each of these types of crimes.</p><p><strong>Different Strokes For Different Folks</strong><br
/> You should have an Emotional – Direct – Response message that attracts clients to you like moths to a flame. Think of how many different kinds of fish are swimming around in a pond or lake. A fisherman can’t catch all of them with one type of hook. He needs a tackle box with different types of lures and hooks to catch different kinds of fish. This is also true for your marketing message….you can’t catch every prospect in your pond/lake (area) with one, generic message because no single generic message will capture all the prospects in your market. This mindset is the premise of my <a
href="http://securitymarketingguru.com/newsletter/">Smokin’ Security Newsletter</a>.</p><p>There’s a whole bunch of opportunity out there for security dealers/integrators and consultants. What you need is a tool that can take your business and sales to the next level&#8230;</p><p>That’s what my Smokin’ Security Newsletter is&#8230;a tool that will teach you how to attract and retain &#8220;A List&#8221; security clients.

The weather here in Massachusetts has been phenomenally warm so a lot of people are outside jogging, walking, hiking, biking and are in a wonderful spirit.</p><p>I hope you enjoyed a nice four-day break from the office. I know you did if you have a Robotic Security Selling System™ in place that pulls in leads like a two ton magnet, even while your away. The <strong><em>real wealth in business</em></strong> is having a system in place that attracts and retains clients for life, which leads to a ESP (Easy-Successful-Profitable) style business, which allows you to take time off and the leads don’t stop and dry up because your business is independently churning in leads whether you’re there or not.</p><p><strong>Multiplied Salesmanship</strong><br
/> One of the cornerstone of a Robotic Security Selling Business is having a sales letter in place that can do your selling for you.

Which do you think is more effective?</p><p>You are at a loss if you don’t have a strong sales letter in your hands. In this month’s <a
