\u201cHave noble intentions. A grand plan. A mission. An objective that makes a difference. A major difference. Something transcendent everyone you know assures you cannot be done, at least not by you. Many people who know you and love you do not believe you have what it takes to reveal the greatness they do not see through the prism of their misperceptions about you.\u201d \u2013 Burt Dubin<\/strong>, renowned mentor of some of the world\u2019s highest paid experts-who-speak<\/a>, and Creator of the Speaking Success System<\/a>\u2122<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I first came across the above quote way back in 2001 \u2013 my last year in Guinness Nigeria. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Burt Dubin, by writing the above words, in one his many articles that I\u2019ve read, touched and inspired me to get where I am today. Every time I felt I could no longer go on, quotes like the above, by him, and others, are what I reread to keep myself going.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re an entrepreneur, you\u2019ll understand what I mean. If you\u2019re aspiring, you\u2019re bound to understand sooner or later, if you diligently apply yourself to the pursuit of authentic success.<\/em><\/p>\n

Aiming for an international standard of achievement, will automatically boost your local success<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s simple common sense. What I propose here will equip you to make the products\/services you offer \u2013 and the way you package and promote them \u2013 much more compelling than if you did NOT deliberately cater for an international audience in putting them together.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll give an example, based on what I\u2019ve done over the past 12 years:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

My noble intentions include\u2026<\/p>\n

a. Building low cost customizable Excel-VB apps for sale to individuals and businesses to help them do what they do better.<\/p>\n

b. Training creative MS Excel-VB solutions developers, who will help those who need it to improve their personal and business performance, like I did while in Guinness for 7 years, and like I have been doing for clients within\/outside Africa, over the past decade.<\/p>\n

c. Using public speaking to inform and educate my target audience about how to do what I do, and also to help interested others learn to make money doing it like I do.<\/p>\n

In several past articles, I\u2019ve shared stories about how many laughed at me over the years, whenever I told them about my above mentioned plans...<\/strong><\/h3>\n

When I began, I struggled to find clients to pay me to develop apps, or to provide training or give talks on Excel-VB solutions development. Soon, I found myself coming under criticism. Close relatives asked me to consider doing something else.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, what they proposed most times was what they saw others doing. They wanted me to aim for something they considered more believable and that was familiar. <\/em><\/p>\n

A close family friend who owned a business asked me \u201cWho\u2019s going to pay you to do that with MS Excel?<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

I recall telling him what I\u2019d done in Guinness and how it had earned me wide recognition and career advancement opportuntie4s. He replied that I would not find such interest in the Nigerian market.<\/p>\n

I thanked him, but refused to accept what he said. Instead, I went back and did more deep thinking and decided to begin putting my stuff on the web. I knew Excel-VB solutions development was big business in many developed markets.<\/p>\n

My experiences with Guinness also convinced me I only needed to SHOW proof of how Excel-VB solutions I offered<\/a> could help businesses in Nigeria\/Africa, to win paying clients. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

It would not be easy, I knew, but I was sure it would be worthwhile in the end.<\/p>\n

As I continued trying out all sorts of ideas, I became increasingly convinced that the best way to win high profile paying clients would be to use the web to attract their attention to me. I began reading up on how to promote my offers online \u2013 and I discovered article marketing.<\/p>\n

Since I had lots of experiences from my time in Guinness to tap from, I began writing articles that narrated true stories about how I used Excel-VB to solve real life problems in the manufacturing workplace.<\/p>\n

Later on, I began adding short tutorials\/case studies supported with video demonstrations.<\/p>\n

All the time I did these, I kept studying how internationally recognized experts whose work I admired, were doing their own self-promotion.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Then I adapted the ideas I got from studying them, in a way that I felt would appeal to my target market.<\/p>\n

It did not happen overnight, but eventually, the enquiries began to come \u2013 from local as well as international visitors. Some were small business owners, others were independent consultants, and a few were decision makers in companies \u2013 even multinational manufacturers and oil service companies.<\/p>\n

For instance, in 2009, I got a phone call from a Dutch expatriate working as a senior manager heading a department in an international oil service firm. <\/em><\/h3>\n

He asked to meet with me at Eleganza\u2019s premises in the 7-Up area of Ikeja, Lagos-Nigeria. <\/em><\/p>\n

There he told me how they\u2019d been searching for the right MS Excel expert to help them with an in-house problem without success. They\u2019d had many people come in, but after meeting with them found they lacked the needed depth of expertise to solve the problem they had.<\/p>\n

One day he decided to do a Google search and my MS Excel Heaven website<\/a> came up. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The fact that the search engine result indicated I was based in Nigeria caught his attention. When he spoke with me later he noted that the videos and demo apps on my website convinced him I was likely to be able to help them. [NB: I\u2019ve am currently building a new version of that website, to suit the content repurposing I\u2019m doing since replacing spontaneoudevelopment.com with tayosolagbade.com<\/a>].<\/em><\/p>\n

After our meeting, he arranged for me to visit the finance department for a meeting with the department\u2019s head and an assistant on Lagos Island.<\/h3>\n

There was a large and important MS Excel workbook built for heavy tax computation data handling and report generation. The author had suddenly left the company, and no one else knew how to use the workbook.<\/p>\n

They wanted me to help re-build the workbook to make it more user-friendly. I spent about 1 hour with the gentleman. By the time I left, we were discussing my fees, when I would start, how long it would take me to finish etc.<\/p>\n

The next morning, I got a call from the PA to the Dutch expatriate saying the finance department had found my conversation with them quite useful and that they\u2019d said they wanted me to start. I however eventually ended up not doing that job, because we were unable to agree on certain aspects regarding my payment.<\/em><\/p>\n

Having said that, the point remains that I got found and contacted - at zero cost to me - by a top decision maker in a local office of a large, and well known international oil Service Company<\/strong>!<\/h3>\n

And that happened because of the approach I adopted in promoting my services and products \u2013 I chose to make myself LOOK bigger than I was, and to appeal to a global audience. <\/em><\/p>\n

The oil service company that contacted me was one that MANY local experts I\u2019d met had tried countless times to gain access to, without success. Those who learnt I got invited by them asked me what connections I\u2019d used. I told them all I did was use my web marketing system to intelligently achieve what Michel Fortin calls Power Positioning\u2122.<\/p>\n

Doing so using my website, made me stand out from other providers in my local market \u2013 most of who ONLY had brochure websites, stating what they did and little else.<\/p>\n

Many Experts Lack the Insights to Achieve Outcomes Like the Above... <\/strong><\/h3>\n

They feel adopting \u201cforeign\u201d techniques and strategies like those I describe here would be over kill. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Maybe when not properly adapted to suit local situations that would be the case. <\/em><\/p>\n

Otherwise, creative adaptation of \u201cforeign\u201d ideas can help you achieve superior marketing results locally. The results I get confirm this is so.<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s the best part: <\/strong>In the long run, this strategy is can actually reward you with patronage from international buyers, if you do it right. I am proof that this happens, because, when I started doing it, I initially got responses ONLY from Nigerians. But over the years, I have not only been getting enquiries from various countries\/continents (including Australia), but I have won buyers from within\/outside Africa.<\/p>\n

In several cases, international enquirers (from North America\/Asia especially) who contacted me expressed surprise on learning that I was African and based in Africa. <\/strong><\/h3>\n

My phone conversation with a US based farm CEO enquirer<\/a> just 2 days ago is a good example.<\/p>\n

I should however add that in some cases, announcing to them that I\u2019m a Nigerian, SCARES them off (I\u2019m sure you know why)!<\/p>\n

Now, if my offers can be so compelling that international prospects reach out to me, often thinking I\u2019m based in THEIR part of the world, local ones are likely to be even more impressed.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, over 80% of my buyers are Nigerians, who have NEVER met me in the flesh \u2013 and who send payment even after learning, from me, that I am based in Cotonou\u2026outside Nigeria<\/a>!<\/em><\/p>\n

Final Words<\/strong>: Set Yourself Apart from the Crowd by Acting Locally, While Thinking International!<\/h3>\n

If you want to set yourself apart from your rivals or competitors, in a way that makes potential buyers choose you over them, I recommend you adopt a similar strategy of \u201cActing Locally While Thinking International\u201d.<\/p>\n

And if, while you\u2019re at it, doubts creep into your mind, remember the quote below:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI have never started a company that, at some point, didn\u2019t cause me to have doubts. This must be a stupid idea because no one else is doing it. Why don\u2019t people get it? Maybe there is nothing there\u201d We all have self doubts, but as entrepreneurs we don\u2019t let these thoughts stop us. It is only a sanity check and is a normal thing.\u201d \u2013 Fran Tarkenton <\/em>(Former American Football Star\/Millionaire Entrepreneur)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
