Be The Squirrel

Ever seen the movie “UP”?

There’s a dog in the movie (I don’t recall his name) that can speak with the help of an electronic collar. He doesn’t really talk in conversations, the collar simply turns his thoughts into words.

Being a dog, he gets distracted a lot. Every time he thinks he sees something interesting, his collar will say “Squirrel!” and his train of though instantly derails.

The funny thing about it is, that’s the main thing work at home entrepreneurs struggle against every day. It’s a constant fight against distractions.

On the other hand, being a distraction that commands a prospect’s attention is the very thing we want to accomplish with our marketing.

Crazy, isn’t it?

We do everything we can to avoid being distracted, while we work on methods to distract others.

Be the squirrel.

Once you’ve gotten your prospect’s attention, you’ve got to give them something interesting that will keep them focused on your message until they’re completely immersed.

This isn’t an easy thing to do… at least at first.

With practice, you’ll get better until it becomes second nature.

For example, take a look at the headline (title) of this article.

When you first read it, you probably had a thought like “What does that mean?”  It’s a curiosity based approach that is specifically written to create a question in the reader’s mind.

Since curiosity is the most effective way to get anyone interested in something, I use it a lot. There are other ways, and it’s best to keep many of them in your toolbox.

The point is, while you must get your prospect’s attention, techniques will only get you so far. You’ve got to keep them interested in your subject to keep them engaged.

How do you do that?

One way is by asking questions. When you ask someone a question, they start thinking about what you asked them. They have to answer the question in their mind in order to move forward.

Another way is by using lists.
