EFFECTIVE INFOMERCIALS THAT REALLY WORK! - By Peter Singleton

USE IT

LOSE IT

bullet "Hi my name is Jim Dewald with Motrlube International" - Stand up, speak up, speak slowly, speak clearly
 
bullet In some cities, in other organizations, speakers stayed sitting down for their infomercials and said, "We do things differently in this city." to which I replied, "Does Toastmasters  teach you to give a speech sitting down in this city?"
 
bullet "We guarantee that we will save you 50% on your oil changes" - a powerful statement of one of the results people will get using your product or service
 
bullet "We produce pure 100% Hi-Tech Synthetic Motor Oil. Through the use of a pure bright stock base PAO (polyalphaolephin) product. Many of the complex molecular structures found naturally in petroleum base stocks begin to react under extreme heat, which forms sludge, gum and varnish. PAO's do not have this problem. Make sure the synthetic you use contains a pure PAO bright stock base with no esters" - Don't talk too technical - not now anyway, save it for your presentation.
bullet "We are also fully insured to pick your vehicle up, change the oil, and return it to your parking spot while you're busy at work, or have you in and out within 20 minutes if you prefer to come to us" - maximum two other great benefits to using your product or service
 
bullet "We are open 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. We will pick up your car; change your oil; change the oil filter; change the air filter; and return your car. We'll also do the same if it's a truck. Plus we're fully insured so that just in case we have an accident you won't suffer. We'll even supply you with another car in the meantime" - Woah! Stop! Enough already! I can't remember any of it.  More than a total of 3 benefits are overwhelming...especially when there are 20 to 30 other people in the room doing the same thing.
 
bullet "Kam Leung owns 15 Calgary Taxicabs that save a lot of money using my oil" - Give a testimonial about the type of customer you're looking for
 
bullet "Oh and I forgot, our oil won't void the manufacturers warranty!" - avoid saying, "I do this, this, this, this and this."
 
bullet "A good referral for me this week is someone you know that owns numerous vehicles; a taxi company; or a mechanic" obviously anyone that needs your services will refer themselves, but if you only did business with members there would be no club.

Make a wish list of potential customers that would make you the most money and just say 2 potential customer referral requests: "someone you know that owns numerous vehicles; a taxi company;" - they already have a precedent: Kam Leung

The third referral request should be for a strategic alliance: "or a mechanic"

 
bullet "A good referral for me is anyone that needs my services" - and if you're extremely lucky  you might get a lead - next month when I need an oil change.

bullet Jim Dewald, Motrlube International -Repeat your name and company name in case someone that has a lead for you missed it at the beginning. Brand your name,  your company name, and possibly your website..
 
bullet You can find us at www.motrlube.com or call me at 230-2500 - most business is built on relationships not memorizing web addresses or phone numbers- don't try to brand your website and your phone number here unless that is part of your advertising like 279-PLAY.
