The Voice Over Marketing Mastermind Group

In case you’re thinking … “Should I do this? Will this be worth it?” or something like that… Let me share a brief story with you about my own experience with Mastermind Groups….

I remember the first Mastermind Group I joined was $300 per month and I remember wondering how I would do it, but I also knew that I could benefit from having other people see opportunities in my business that I was too close to seeing for myself.

It turned into one of the best decisions I ever made for my business. One idea from my Mastermind Group turned into a 6 figure business idea.

I can’t promise you’ll have the same results. You will have to do some work. It will not be handed to you.

But I CAN Promise you this:

You will gain insights into your present business you’ve never had before. Opportunities you’ve never seen will be developed. You will enjoy working with and supporting others all with the mutual goal of growing and supporting each others businesses.

I know once you are a member and participating in all the great ideas and exchanges from a mastermind group you will see it is well worth this investment.

My guest today is Tom Collins an expert in Direct Marketing.

This interview is a bit different. I want to make a couple of points before we dive in. Tom does a lot in the direct response world. He did a lot of classified advertising. Try to see how the broader themes of how he approaches marketing can apply to marketing our voice over businesses.

Key Themes to listen for:

• Each piece of marketing is designed to take your prospective client to the next step – answer their questions
• Don’t try to over leverage your marketing – Sometime people want one piece of marketing to do a lot of things, like attract a customer, answer objections and close business. That rarely happens
• Listen to how he talks about leveraging relationships and networks to position you in a way to take yourself out of being considered a “Voice Over Commodity.”
• Finally Tom talks about the importance of Mindset in growing your business and how some people hold themselves back from really growing their businesses because of where they place mental limits on their income.

Tom has worked with some big names and big numbers. Some of the revenue figures he talks about when working with clients may make you shake your head.

Don’t be intimidated by it. Listen to how he talks about mindset and how you can take your business to the next level.

There are some great nuggets of info in our conversation and I know you’re going to want to listen to this show at least a couple of times and share it with your friends.

Another thing Tom was on his cell phone and I think he called in from vacation to be on the show so big thanks to Tom for taking time away to do this.

In this episode I share some thoughts about “Attitude and success” and Association – Who you “hang around with” and how it can affect your success.

I also interview Voice Over Talent and Attorney, Derek Chappell about social media and Twitter and ways that he’s used them to grow his voice over business.

Thoughts on The Power of Association

I heard marketing expert Frank Kern speak a couple of years ago and he talked about the importance of hanging out with the right people to help you achieve your goals. His example?

“If you hang out with a bunch of crackheads long enough, eventually you’re going to say ‘Hey, let me try some of that stuff.’ and BAM you’re a crackhead.”

Studies show that your income is the average of the 10 people you spend the most time with. We’re social creatures so we tend to morph to the groups we spend the most time with.

If you want to run a marathon, then it’s probably not a wise idea to spend a lot of time with people who spend their free time online in the basement playing video games ’til all hours of the morning while snacking on junk food.

If you want to quit smoking, it’s probably best to spend less time with those around you who still smoke.

If you want to start making more money, then it’s probably a good idea to start spending more time around folks who make more than you do.

This can be tough to do, particularly when close friends and family members start seeing you make changes. React they will. Some positively and some negatively.
