SYNOPSIS
Matt Johnson has successfully defined his niche business and his
target client, and that’s exactly the focus of his
podcast/marketing company Pursuing Results. In this second of a
two-part show featuring Matt, Marketing RV with Ranalli & Volpe
continued the conversation about three concepts in Matt’s book
“Micro Famous”: getting seen, getting noticed, getting known. To
get known and expand your client base, Matt quoted a real estate
coach who once said, “Stop saying new things to the same people and
start saying the same thing to new people.”
To be micro famous to the right people, Matt recommends turning the traditional sales model upside down. Recognizing the burnout factor in the service industry, Matt suggests building lifelong relationships instead of clients for life, that way clients will cycle in and out of your business. Go to Pursuing Results to see how Matt pitches his business in a two-minute video on the home page.
As for getting seen and getting noticed, which precede getting known, Matt recommends narrowing your focus. Until you reach the tipping point of influence, getting known, keep driving one message or focusing on a specific attribute/offering. Only after you become known should you expand your offerings. Matt cited examples of brands that broke out because they offered one specific product or service and added variations only after becoming household names.
How does this entrepreneur manage his work life? Matt said he remains organized by theming his days and dedicating the first half of each weekday to work. He commits to working five hours a day and builds into his daily routine a lunch break and a workout. If Matt could recommend only one business book, it would be “The Star Principle” by Richard Koch.
