It always surprises me how few marketers actually &#8220;test.&#8221;&#160;&#160; For example, have you ever tested one price against another to see which price pulls the most sales leads?&#160;&#160; I&#8217;ll bet most of you haven&#8217;t

<p>It always surprises me how few marketers actually &#8220;test.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, have you ever tested one price against another to see which price pulls the most sales leads?&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#8217;ll bet most of you haven&#8217;t</p>
<p>Well starting today, here&#8217;s a brief list of the most important things to test: </p>
<p>1. Headlines (in ads and sales letters) </p>
<p>2. Price, payment plans and combination offers</p>
<p>3. Guarantees </p>
<p>4. Offers and Bonuses</p>
<p>5. Mailing Lists </p>
<p>6. Media </p>
<p>7. Sales Copy</p>
<p>And the list goes on. There are an endless number of variables you can test in your business.&nbsp;&nbsp; Here&#8217;s the exciting part: One &#8220;minor&#8221; change can have a major impact on your business. </p>
<p>For example, let&#8217;s say you test charging a 3% fee instead of a 2% fee for your services and your sales remain exactly the same. Let&#8217;s further assume you&#8217;re selling approximately 200 new clients a year.&nbsp;&nbsp; That increases the dollars per client by 50%&nbsp; multiplied by 200 clients or &#8230; </p>
<p>Well, you do the math </p>
<p>That&rsquo;s a lot of Extra Dollars Per Year With No Extra Work On Your Part!</p>
<p>Or say you offer some extra bonuses to the customer for doing business with you and find that it increases your sales ratio by just 10%.&nbsp; That&rsquo;s 20 new customers and 20 extra paychecks.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s the power of testing. Put it to use in your business today. </p>
