Video Mystery Shopping: What’s YOUR Super Bowl Sales Commercial?
As many of you may know, I am not a huge football fan. I DO know which teams are actually playing in the Super Bowl this year, but that is about where my knowledge of all things Gridiron ends. This year, I have the pleasure of actually being in Las Vegas for the International Builders Show on Sunday, February 2nd…the day the Broncos take on the Seahawks. Already many of my traveling colleagues are discussing “WHERE” they will be to watch the BIG Game. I, of course, will join them to watch the game…..however; my real focus will be on the commercials!
For years, I have LOVED watching the clever commercials that are always unveiled at the Super Bowl. Some are hilarious, some are strange, some make your cry, and some are just plain risqué! But, for the most part, they are all very MEMORABLE and make for fun discussion the next day with friends.
A commercial is basically a 30 or 60 second opportunity to ‘sell’ a product or brand. A Super Bowl commercial is an opportunity to sell a brand or product to MILLIONS of people! That’s not a lot of time to make a sales pitch. The commercials must be clear, concise, and get the point across quickly! But, most importantly, they must be memorable enough to make you want to buy the product!
Believe it or not, in many ways you can compare a Super Bowl commercial to a new home sales presentation! You have a brief period of time to ‘sell’ your product to the consumer. Your presentation must be clear, concise, and memorable! You’ve got to stand out above the crowd!
Think about YOUR sales presentation…is it Super Bowl worthy or is it just ho-hum? Do your prospects leave wanting MORE or do they just want to leave? And, most importantly, will they remember you and your presentation the next day?
Every person that walks into your sales office has high expectations….the same way we have high expectations for the Super Bowl commercials. Make sure you are able to deliver on those expectations! If I asked you to name for me your favorite Super Bowl spot, I am fairly certain you would be able to spout out several from years gone by that have made a lasting impression! Budweiser, Dorito’s, the cute kid from the E-Trade commercials….are just a few that come to mind.
What if I asked your prospects to name their favorite new home sales person? Do you think you would make the cut?
Remember, every day is Super Bowl Sunday when you are in new home sales! For your viewing pleasure….the 25 BEST Super Bowl commercials…..Budweiser and Dorito’s are dominant players!
