The answers were hidden in my post...
1) Agreement/terms... I'd sign an agreement.
2) Tag/funnel incoming biz so it's obvious which new biz is coming from my efforts.
3) I'd do a who-what-where-when-why-how survey of their existing + previous customers to find out WHO they are and how to reach more of them.
I'd do a who-what-where-when-why-how survey of their existing + previous customers to find out to find out ALL the reasons they bought - from THEIR perspective -- so I could use those appeals in future marketing.
I'd do a who-what-where-when-why-how survey of thier existing + previous NON-customers (the people who DIDN'T buy after all) to find out who THEY are and what THEY have in common.
I'd do a who-what-where-when-why-how survey of thier existing + previous NON-customers (the people who DIDN'T buy after all) to find out ALL the reasons they DIDN'T buy -- from their perspective -- so I could eliminate those drawbacks in future marketing.
I'd reseach what was and was not working in their existing mrktng efforts.
I'd REcontact ALL their previous customers with a SPECIFIC offer.
I'd REcontact ALL their previous NON-customers with a SPECIFIC offer.
I'd institute a referral generating SYSTEM that works the same every time.
I'd institute a testimonial generating SYSTEM that works the same every time.
I'd MASSIVELY *USE* the resulting testimonials.
I'd test different benefits + appeals.
I'd test different offers + packages.
I'd test different headlines.
I'd try direct mail.
I'd try telemarketing.
I'd try joint venturing.
I'd try cross-promotion.
And... I would try all that -- but not necessarily in that order.
The main/first thing I'd do is REcontact ALL previous customers with a SPECIFIC offer. That, and joint venturing.
Cheers!
