This week we've got a deep dive episode looking at the options to Recycle Reuse Record other content in your book.
We'll occasionally speak to people who want to turn a presentation, or series of blog posts into a book. While this can give your campaign a boost, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. In today's show we look at the pitfalls of recycling, the opportunities of reuse & the easiest way to record to create the most effective book.

Reverse Conversation Engineering email
Do you know what "reverse engineering" means?
Here’s the definition of it:
Reverse engineering is taking apart an object to see how it works in order to duplicate or enhance the object.
Now watch this. Let’s replace the word “object” with the word “result”.
What happens is… now you have a method for coming up with solutions to most of your marketing problems.
That’s right!
First, you think of the result you want to get… and then… trace backwards all the steps needed to get there. All the way back to the beginning.
You start with the question, "What do I actually want to happen? What’s the end goal for me?"
For example... if you are a real estate agent the thing you want to happen is…
To be in a conversation, one on one, with somebody who’s thinking of selling their house.
How do you get there?
There’s only one way: Through the conversations that are already going on in your prospect’s mind.
For someone that is looking to sell their home… the conversations are probably going to be, "How much is my house worth specifically?”
...or...
"What should I do to fix it up?”, “What kind of repairs do I need to do and what can I leave alone?”
...or...
They might not even be ready to put the house on the market, but if they knew there’s a buyer for it they would happily sell.
Next thing you do is, you take those conversations... one by one... and find a specific, whisker-free solution for each.
So, instead of saying to potential home sellers, “Hey, if there’s anything I can do for you or any way I can help you, please feel free to reach out to me….”
You say...
“Whenever you're ready, here's how I can help you right now:
A) I’ve got a pinpoint price analysis. I’ll show you exactly what your house would sell for compared to other houses on the market today.
B) I’ve got a room-by-room review booklet where I can go from the curb to closet, show you exactly what to do or not do to get your house ready to get top dollar.
C) I’ve got a silent market. I may be able to sell your house in as little as 24 hours without even putting it on the market.”
These are your cookies, matching word for word - almost exactly - to what your prospects are thinking about.
And here’s the best part: All three of these cookies, no matter which one the prospect asks for, all lead to the same next step.
They want a pinpoint price analysis? Perfect. “Let me pop over, I’ll take a look, see what your house is, and then prepare the report for you,”
They want a room-by-room review? Awesome! "Let me pop over. I’ll bring the room-by-room review booklet and we can go through your rooms and point out the things that you could and shouldn’t do to get your house ready to sell.”
They want to know about the silent market? Great! “Let me pop over. I’ll bring the details of people that are looking for a house just like yours.”
See how they all lead to the same thing?
No matter what cookie they pick… you end up in a conversation, one on one, with somebody about potentially helping them sell their house.
Exactly what you wanted in the first place.
I love reverse-engineering results.
Do you? :)
