The "Millionaire Maker" Dan Kennedy didn't get that nickname and the acclaim that goes with it by being mediocre. His focus is to show his clients the exact road map to take their ideas and turn their ideas into a successful business.

When entrepreneur magazine says about you: "Dan Kennedy has 101 money making ideas for any business owner.", that is powerful stuff. He is able to take his principles and put them to work for his clients in any industry or business. He currently works with clients in roughly 60 businesses. In any given year, he'll make as much as a quarter million dollars in a month providing strategies in direct marketing, copywriting and marketing materials, video production and infomercials and profit improvement systems.

Kennedy's value is best measured by what he has been able to do for the mom and pop business that is failing in every way. They'll turn to Dan's methods and in months will go from high debt to zero debt and revenues of over $200,000 a month.

Or, there's the now-giant Guthy-Renker Corporation, famous for its celebrity infomercials with Victoria Principal and Vanna White, and its Tony Robbins infomercials. Guthy-Renker is a 200-million dollar+ a year business now, and Dan's been a key member of their brain trust since their very first infomercial (Think And Grow Rich). Or there's U.S. Gold, a company that has twice increased its sales by millions with Dan Kennedy provided marketing breakthroughs. And the list goes on and on and on.

In the case of my business, Dan brought it to good health with one simple principle I wasn't applying. I think it is a principle ignored by many businesses. It is the principle of total customer value. Basically, the crucial skill of having relationships with existing customers is an essential profit center. He sees it as even more vital than how well a business is attracting new customers.

Taking this principle to heart, we revitalized two of our businesses to stability, then profitability, by becoming excellent at customer service. Part of that means learning how to deal with and engender loyalty in your after they have had a problem with something you are doing. Now there are definitely problem clients out there and they need to be fired as customers. But many times, it is a great client who may bring more future business, if you can make the situation right.

It is no surprise that customers can complain about any number of things. It could be the product, prices, or your service. Also, even when all those things are excellent, some customers just find things to gripe about. Whatever happens, avoid the temptation to simply ignore them. Instead own up to the problem and calm the situation by:

Thanking them. Thank him/her for their comment, even if it was expressed in an impolite manner. Try to remember that their attack is not personal, and it's best that you don't treat it that way. Keep your composure and remain cool.

Starting your phrase with, "Let me see if I understand you completely." Then restate the person's complaint. This will do two things. First of all, it gives the person a chance to calm down. And secondly, it shows the client that you are truly listening and taking their concerns seriously.

Finding at the very least one thing in their complaints that you agree with. It doesn't matter how unfounded their complaint is in your mind, you should pick out one major point you agree with. Build your response around that point. For instance: "Well, Mr. Johnson, I can totally relate to you being upset about the late delivery. I will make sure that it doesn't happen again. Now, about your other concerns. This shows them you are not defensive about the situation, and you are not interested in making excuses, but solving the problem.

Solving the problem. The only reason a client picks a fight in the first place is to let you know that they have a problem. It's your job to play along and solve that problem. Remember, this is your chance to turn a negative situation into a positive one and actually gain your client's loyalty.

In my mind the right instruction saved my business. I learned about total customer value and how refocusing on that alone can make things fun and profitable, where before it looked dreary and hopeless. Dan Kennedy's Magnetic Marketing is the centerpiece of his teachings.

Dan backs up Magnetic Marketing with a full year's money back guarantee. Anytime you want to send it back, there will be no hassles, just a full refund. I think that many times, the student really has to be ready for the right teacher appears. With a new business, with limited money to lose, missteps or wrong trails can destroy you before you even start. If you are already going, but just haven't solved the riddle of how to market for big money profits, you might be ready for Dan Kennedy and the magic of Magnetic Marketing. It could make all the difference and you have nothing at all to lose.

I am not a fan of trying to be a pioneer in a field where there is so much saturation of information and strategies. It only leave me shot up and full of arrows. When I picked the right teacher, the one who makes people money again and again, my fortunes turned. It totally pays to stop guessing and to simply copy the way people are making money.
