The Power of An Easter Egg Hunt

Nana and Papa Maunsell with all their grandchildren.

It’s going to be gorgeous up here in Massachusetts (in the 80’s) for the Easter weekend…a rarity in these parts!

On Sunday, I’m having my whole family over on for Easter and we’re going to have a massive Easter egg hunt on my front lawn.  My wife has stuffed over 150 eggs with candy!  My parents get a kick out of watching all the grandkids running around filling their baskets with pretty-colored eggs.

I remember back when I was a little tyke and would jump out of bed on Easter morning and scavenge my parents house for Easter eggs.  My favorite Easter eggs were stuffed with Swedish Fish, Hershey Kisses, and Milk Duds.

Today the Easter eggs that I look forward to receiving are not chock-full with candy (who am I kidding, I still like candy filled Easter eggs), but are quotes of wisdom that can be used to illuminate the nooks and crannies of your mind, and take your thinking to a new dimension.

Theater of the Mind

If you were with me, right now, inside my writing room, you’d see my walls are plastered with with pieces of paper that include quotes, ideas and prompts, that I’ve collected over the years, and use for writing tidbits.  These pieces have also helped me with my business philosophy.  I call my writing room “the theater of the mind room.”  Walt Disney had an enriched room like this where he’d house his ideas and storyboard his projects.

So are you ready for my little Easter egg hunt?  I’ve filled colored my favorite colored eggs with quotes of security marketing and business-building wisdom…so let’s go hunting!

My Favorite Easter Eggs Colors…

Lilac Easter Egg - In business your only as successful as the options you selling, you don’t want just one sales rep handling all your sales or one media (e.g.  only using Yellow Page ads) for attracting new prospects to you business, because you will not be in control of your own destiny.

Mocha Easter Egg - Customers and clients cannot buy from you if you do not tell them what is for sale.

Teal Easter Egg - To become a security industry leader, you’ve got to see the future before it arrives.

Cyan Easter Egg - Even your WORST competitor has one or two ideas from which you can benefit.

Raven Easter Egg – Your techs and your office staff are your products and nothing else.

Purple Easter Egg - True entreprenurial genius is getting customers and making sales without having to use a whole heck of lot of capital to do it.

Orchid Easter Egg - Courage is the battle of life…this is a quote from my Dad!  You need the “Wizard of Oz” management skills today – brains, courage and heart!

Royal Blue Easter Egg - When you master your security marketing, you’ve mastered your whole business life.

Cardinal Easter Egg - Promoting your security services should be a consistent part of your daily business activity, whether you need new clients or not.

Mango Easter Egg - If your security business depends on you being there, you don’t have a business – you have a job.

Lavender Easter Egg - Always do more then you get paid for. Jim Rohn

Sea – Green Egg - There is only one reason for not being wealthy and independent, and that’s neglect. Failure is subtle.

Jade Easter Egg - Most people fail in life cuz they major in minor things! – Tony Robbins

Citron Easter Egg - Don’t be a cheapskate in acquiring knowledge that can make your business grow.  If you wish to succeed and remain successful, you must be a student for a lifetime.

Pewter Easter Egg - You are exactly where you really want to be.

Goldenrod Easter Egg - You are measured by the size of the problem you can solve.

Fuschia Easter Egg – The challenge is not merely to outdo your competition, but to outdo yourself!

Chartreuse Easter Egg - Most security dealers and electronic system installers look at there company as a source of income. They forget that it’s a major ASSET…probably their most valuable and, like any asset, it needs to be maintained.

Coral Easter Egg - There is no passion to be found in playing small in settling for a life that is less then what you are capable of living.

Hope you found an Easter egg or two that you can use!

Have a Gr8 weekend, and I’ll talk to you soon!

Alarm Dealers Program – The Ultimate Residential Security Sales Kit: How To Get New Homeowners To Line Up…And…Beg You To Take Their Money!

Who’s looking for a way to market to new homeowners that’s cheap, easy and effective, without needing any special marketing skills, lots of coin or know-how to employ?

Use my outrageously easy marketing system for New Homeowners (the new residents who are moving into your area by the hundreds each month) and double – even triple – your new installs overnight!

If you’ve been scrambling around your office looking for a way to increase your security installations, then you’ve just found it!

Here’s why: For the first time ever, I’m revealing the secrets to how I get “new mover” security installations without breaking a sweat.  So, why should you follow my lead and go after new homeowners?  Well, these nomads are worth on average, $1400 per installation – plus years of RMR (re-occurring monthly revenue from monitored accounts).  And I only spend a few bucks to get them!

My complete New Homeowners Marketing System is guaranteed to bring you in a boat-load of security leads.  I created and implemented this system in my own security business (see, you get FREE R&D here because I’ve done all the testing and tweaking for you!) and, over the past 16 months, have increased my residential security installations by 92% using it!

My complete approach beats the pants off of every other approach currently out there!
This system is so unconventional that none of your competition is doing it and won’t even see you coming until after the damage is done and you’ve reaped all the hay from the harvest!

Caveman Stabs Geico In The Back…A Lesson In Security Marketing Client Retention!

Hey all,

Wanted to share a short blurb from another interesting piece I found online. The headline was “The GEICO Caveman: ‘I don’t have GEICO insurance’.

‘Since 2004, actor John Lehr has played the caveman in those wildly popular GEICO car insurance commercials. In a recent interview he was caught saying “But to be honest, it was just a gig for me, and it’s a fun thing to do….but, ah, put it this way: I don’t have GEICO insurance.”‘

Oooh, that hurts. Doesn’t he know you aren’t supposed to bite the hand that feeds you? From a security marketing perspective, this is the equivalent of your own techs going somewhere else for their home security system. Or worse yet, your mom going to a rival for security advice! Now that would cut deep!

P.S. Have an ” ESP”  style security business building day Easy, Successful and Profitable!
