Marketing Courses Are they Good?

(1/3) > >>

HolmansUKLTD:
Hello People,
I am looking for a decent marketing course, i know pro-clean do a step by step business course and All tech also do a year long marketing course but before i spend my hard earned cash i wondered if any of you have 1st hand expierence of them?? i know these 2 guarantee you £1000 per week after the 1st year providing you follow the instructions strictley, if there a less expensive way or is it the old carpet cleaners saying you get what you pay for???

Thanks ??? Pre- Vac man

Derek:
Hi Mr Pre-Vac man

Both Proclean and Alltec programmes are allegedly very good providing you follow each step through to the end.

You pays your money and takes your choice.

Many carpet cleaners work their own programmes very effectively from leaflets (not everyones cup of tea), mailshots, Telesales, advertising... or maybe a bit of each

I don't know about your area Derek,

But I picked up my new YP the other day and it's full of  carpet cleaners using the Joe Polish method of advertising.I mean how many consumer lines can you ring.
Mrs Smith rings one she's rang the lot .It seems a lottery as to who gets the work and who doesn't using this method but what do I know I guess it works or they all wouldn't be at it.

It's nearly as bad as the Chem-Dry ad's ;D

Derek:
Hi Mr W

I do so agree...

This is a personal comment....
Some of the standard letters put out by these organisations are really awful.. If I opened a letter and saw the layout I would stop right there and bin it!!!

My favourite gripe is the use of the PS (Post script)... not just one PS but several PPS, PPPS, PPPS.

Now if you are handwriting then there is a reason for a PS but not in the world of the PC where text can be so easily changed.

Its so Gimmicky...  sorry but I want to look and be professional and that isn't it.

That's me off my soapbox... sorry if I have offended anyone...this was not my intention...just a personal observation on my part.

HolmansUKLTD:
so it seems so far to try to do your own marketing 1st via leaflets, mailshots etc before going into one of these marketing courses?

any other comments from people who have been on these orcurrantly on these marketing programmes would be great ;D

Thanks
