Today clients are too stressed out at home and work to deal with salespeople that waste their time. Add to that, the fact that, the marketplace offers so many choices.

There is something else that your clients want and deserve aside from wanting quality, service, convenience, value and time. They want their lives to be made easier!

No one wants to be an expert at what YOU do which is why you are part of their equation. What Militant Marketers must do today to survive in this rapidly changing marketplace is be an EXPERT, COACH AND RESOURCE to your clients.

You better be ready to provide knowledge, expertise, information and education:
because that’s what the customers and clients want.

Our clients and customers need our expertise. With people busier than ever, they do not have the time, drive nor the inclination to be experts on what we do.  In this age of outsourcing and decentralization the militant marketer of the future will, more than ever, have to serve as a coach and resource to his or her clients and customers in order to stay competitive in the marketplace.

Customers want to be able to pick up the phone or submit an e-mail and get threir questions answered quickly and correctly.

Today the world wide web is good at putting information in our face anytime we log on. The funny thing is - most salespeople in a store do the exact same thing.

Sales messages are everywhere so if you want to be successful, be militant, be creative and be better than the salesman down the block or that e-mail solicitation in my in box.

The past week was one of the most memorable and hectic of my entire life, it tested all of my skills as both a warrior and a leader, here’s the rundown; some parts are a blur so bear with me, around 45 - 60 days ago I was chosen by my boss and his boss to assume a new leadership position, when my boss told me it blew my mind.

For the past year, just under 12 months I have been the Commander of an Initial Entry and Advanced Individual Training / One Station Unit Training Company most folks know it as “Boot Camp”.  At around the 8 month mark of this assignment my boss informed me that I was the best Commander out of the 7 Commanders that worked for him, while this was good news the news I recieved from my boss’s boss later that week really humbled me; my boss’s boss told me that he considered me in the running for number one or at least in the top 2 out of 21 Commanders that were in his organization!

Because of my demonstrated leadership style and future potential they gave me a new assignment, they were moving me out of their organization all together and sending me to a new one that is brand new, in fact it is 1 out of 4 that are in existance today.  I take leadership very seriously, I am patriotic and this news gave me an all time “high” and sense of achievement that I have never felt before in my life, all I could do was thank God and the great leaders, coaches and mentors that I have worked with throughout my life.

Now that you have the background let’s just say that every day last week was a major milestone because there was some kind of significant event that had to happen in order for the endstate to be achieved and for all the right outcomes to fall into place.  Being a leader in the U.S. Military has created such a strong foundation that I am considering sharing my success mindset / warrior leader training with other people who are not in the military.

I have applied it to the Home Business and Internet Marketing Industries and proven that the strategies that I have learned and use every day work both in the arena of personnal as well as financial success.

If you are a leader or want to become one let me know your thoughts, I would like to mastermind with you to create a winning team, leave a comment here on my blog or send me an e-mail at Mark at MarkEdwardBrown dot Com

Talk to you soon,

Mark
