There’s plenty of competition for the price shoppers, and you don’t want to play that game. Price shoppers are the worst clients you could ever ask for, so why would you ever want to attract them? But that’s exactly what you’re doing when you offer to quote someone insurance.

A large part of my business is working with clients to create compelling presentations with visual impact – without losing their audience. This process generally begins with my clients sharing their presentation outline with me and we begin to work together to see what’s essential and what’s best left for another form of communication.

For 25 years, Yellow Page consulting was my life. Prior to that, had my own advertising agency. I also have a degree in marketing. I’ve been designing Yellow Page ads for the past three decades. So I have expertise in YP creation and have advised almost 7000 companies on how to put together YP ads and even wrote a book available on amazon. Now that I am semi-retired, I’ve written over 50 articles about the Yellow Pages and what it can do for the average family-run business, the backbone of the directory media.

When starting out, it’s common to imagine your competitors in broad terms: related to a particular product, by an uninformed notion of their size, or by the quality of their advertising. It’s critical that you learn as many details as you can about your competitors. It doesn’t require a private investigator’s license, but rather, simple observation.
