After studying just the first few issues you&#8217;ll have a better education in effective emotional direct-response marketing techniques than 95% of business owners.<\/p>\n<p>The ability to effectively and predictably generate a constant flow of new clients is one of the most important&#8230;if not THE most important thing&#8230; you can do as a business owner.<\/p>\n<p>The most important thing that I teach business owners is this\u2026<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re not in the ________ (fill in the blank) business\u2026  you&#8217;re in the business of marketing the ______ business.<\/p>\n<p>You can be the best martial arts instructor, accountant, retailer, etc. in the universe\u2026 but if nobody knows about you and you don&#8217;t have a constant flow of new clients\u2026 you&#8217;re going to go broke.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sure you know of businesses that aren&#8217;t all that great at what they do. Maybe just average. But they have a profitable, thriving business. Why is that? It&#8217;s because they are good at marketing what they do.<\/p>\n<p>Learning how to effectively market your business is what will make the difference between success and failure.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve got a lot of ground to cover to get you up to speed. Please keep an open mind as you read these letters. We&#8217;re going to start with the basics\u2026 because in many cases most business owners aren&#8217;t even doing that. Just implementing the basics can sometimes double your profits.<\/p>\n<p>But don&#8217;t worry, we&#8217;re going to get into the &#8220;hardcore&#8221; stuff, too.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve only been exposed to &#8220;institutional-type&#8221; image advertising sold to you by self-serving advertising agencies and ad reps\u2026 then a lot of what you&#8217;ll read in my letter may be the exact opposite of what you thought you knew about successful advertising and marketing.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll show you how to never waste another dime on ads that are unaccountable. In this letter you&#8217;ll learn how to track response from each and every ad or promotion so that you can repeat the winners and ditch (or revamp) the losers.<\/p>\n<p>This letter is not something that you can read passively like you would read a novel or newspaper and then hope that your new-found knowledge will somehow miraculously change things for the better. You have to actually get involved and implement what you&#8217;ve learned.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s going to take some work and thought on your part to make this material come alive and transform your business.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t really care what you do first.  Just do something!<\/p>\n<p>In the next issue we&#8217;re really going to get started! The next 30 to 90 days could be the most exciting time of your business career!<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to The Doberman Dan Letter and I look forward to hearing about your success.<\/p>\n<p>All the best,<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16\" title=\"dobedansig_sm1\" src=\"https:\/\/dobermandan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/dobedansig_sm1.jpg\" alt=\"dobedansig_sm1\" width=\"150\" height=\"74\" \/>\n<p>&#8220;Doberman&#8221; Dan Gallapoo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Friend and New Subscriber, The decision you made to subscribe to The Doberman Dan Letter may be one of the most important decisions you&#8217;ve made in your business career.
