Didier Grossemy - 15 Golden Rules To Immediately And Massively Grow Your Business

Article written by: Didier Grossemy X2 Digital CEO

Didier Grossemy says "This is business basics 101. Yet most of businesses don't do it"

It is 5 times easier to sell something else to your existing customers than to get a new customer.
If you have an established business 70% of your advertising money should be spent on re-selling to your existing customers.
  • Where possible only sell to people who want what you have
  • If you need to get new customers, by far the best (and cheapest) way is to offer a free sample of your product or service.
  • When promoting your products find the “right appeal”.
  • The more information you give in your ads, the more you’ll sell.
  • Research clearly shows that ads that look like editorial articles get 500% more readership than ads that obviously look like ads.
  • Never ever run any advertisement without monitoring the response.
  • Monitor everything you do to promote your business.
  • Don’t try to be creative or original.
  • Use benefit headlines in all your ads.
  • Client testimonials increase credibility - and sales.
  • Test every ad, sales letter or marketing campaign before betting your house (or your business future) on it.
  • Don’t listen to opinions and advice from well meaning friends, family and business associates.

Didier Grossemy says: are you accepting business versus doing business?

Didier Grossemy only make a leaving through helping organisations to communicate more efficiently while refining their business processes using Digital Marketing and the internet.
But the social aspect of communication can be controversial and even so Didier Grossemy is an Internet evangelist, he is afraid of the loss of face to face social interaction.

On the other hand in a B2B interaction, automation is so powerful these days that you hardly need to talk to anyone to start doing business one another. So here it is… Didier Grossemy says that, if we are automating the process of business relationship, and then...where is the relationship?

Didier Grossemy then says, “Have you noticed that social interaction tends to become a rare form of human dependency. People tend to spend more and more time interacting through emails even if they are sitting 5 metres away from you, which probably explain the 70 Billions emails sent every day.

Didier Grossemy says where is the pleasure of doing business... people hiding behind user names and password. What about the 2 hour lunch where we use to discuss how to conquer the world? What about the deal. Yes the deal, you remember, face to face with real conversations and arguments.

Business owners need to realise that the Internet is a business platform to promote, sell and trade. “Don't get me wrong that's all I do for my clients, implementing simple and or complex solutions for that purpose”. But guess what? Didier Grossemy still spends time with his clients to discuss over lunch and or dinner on how he can assist them in doing more business.
