more people will respond to
type of marketing more than
anything else, by far.

136. The actual campaign
(3 mail pieces)
becomes an ASSET of your
business. You can use over

year to generate new
customers and revenue.
143. A Better Investment than:
Newspaper and other ads
Radio spots (that cannot be tracked)
Flyers and other weak mail
that the vast majority ends
up in the trash . . .
144. Interested in a Professionally
Written, 3 Step Campaign that
will get results?

Hello everyone and thank you for joining me. My name is Patrick Griswold and I will be hosting today’s webinar. Now, a little more about me in a few minutes. I’m very exciting to have all of you here and being able to share my story and important information with you. We have a few more people coming on to the call in the next minute or two so while we wait for them let me go over a few house keeping issues To get the most out of this session and realize the results you are looking for get yourself a pad and pen to take some notes. You don’t want to miss some important parts of what I say by fumbling around looking for a pad and pen. Also you may want to grab a drink.A short story from a few nights ago . . . I was at a social gathering and talking with a group of other business people (lawyer, CPA, Insurance, Restaurant, car dealer) and they all laughed in disbelief when I told them my sales have not gone down - - due to the economy. Then I explained to them why . . . and that is what YOU are going to learn on this webinar. Therefore, if you want to increase sales of your restaurant you are already miles ahead of your competition by being on this webinar. I appreciate and congratulate you on choosing to be here and opening your mind up to new ideas. Too many of us know what it is like to be stuck and not know where to turn with regard to increasing sales. Well I have the answers you need and I am going to explain to you step by step what the best thing you can do is.Now let’ get started.
Wouldn’t it be nice to beat the pants off the local competition and drive them crazy wondering what you are doing?They see no ads of your s and wonder.
Now a little bit about me . . .While I own a restaurant I am sure you probably know more about operations than I do – but I have become obsessed with restaurant marketing.
Even at a young age I had the traits of an entrepreneur but never really though about going to college.
In the end I decided it was the better choice.I graduated 1980 with degrees in Accounting and Business and was ready to take on the world. There is some irony to that and you will realize it as I tell you more.Armed with my degree I thought I wanted to be a C.P.A. and that is the type of work I started to do when I graduated. Put it this way, after two years of it I was bored and going crazy.
So my career goes on and I am working with people like these guys. That is me on the far right. It was a P/R photo done when I took a African Minister of Trade (Cabinet Member) to Germany to tour our headquarters etc. Now I know these guys look like a bunch of fun but I was actually getting tired of the bureaucracy in a big corporation. Putting it in restaurant terms; sometimes I would have to wait for months to get an approval to by a new oven. It was the summer of 2001 and I was just appointed as the CEO of the Indian tyre company I had been involved with. I found a house, arranged for our daughter to go to the American school, packed our things up in Africa and had them shipped to New Delhi and then finally headed home to me up with Dawn and Alexa and then take them back to India with me.
1990 - Appointed Finance Director at $40M company in East Africa (age 31)Married just before leaving for Africa.The true heart of Africa. Wildlife etc.I Dreamed of Africa movie.
Within in 18 months CEOUsually retirement jobLocals caught off guard - - - this young guy?I had a new and different perspective. Actually going to do something – westernize the place.Great mentors.

Now critical point - - 1995 went on home leave from Africa How I got involved in the restaurant business.
Purchased Pizzi Café
Not a professional photo!
Left business with family and went back to Africa.
At that point in my career had expandedI was so good at challenging environments they gave me the responsibilityto negotiate deal and manage a company in India that had 4 huge factories – and 12,000 employees.So now I am commuting between Africa - India.Yes, a lot of airline miles but little time with the family.
But two weeks after getting to the USA a thing called 911 happened. You may not remember but flights were shutdown and backlogged for so long I was grounded for 5 weeks. During this time I did some soul searching. Talked to some people that convinced me I could go out on my own. So I walked away from it all and decided to stay here in the USA and start my own tire industry consulting business.
Wait, I’ve spent a lot of money buying and updating this restaurant and if we don’t increase sales it will be tough for my grandchildren to get my investment back!
No more rollercoaster rides of sales.Instead, what if you had steadily increasing sales? No more expensive and less, or even ineffective, advertising.
Now how hard could this be? Going from a tire executive to the restaurant business.So I did the usual reaction (newspaper, radio, coupon mailers, etc)
Therefore, the examples I have given you actually PREVENT you from reaching the sales goals you wish to reach. So if you keep doing these things or do NOTHING at all you will not meet your sales goal.
LOUSY results. In the meantime I get a solid lead for some consulting work in China and felt that I had to get this increase and sales go thing ontrack before my China trips increased and I got very occupied with that.
I actually have twice as much stuff now that I have studied.I have studied the marketing systems of : Bill Marvin, Joel Cohen, Bill Main, Rory Fatt, Michael Attias, Kameron Karrington, Max Hitchens, Big Dave Ostrander, Dan Kennedy, Bill Glazer and more . . . I literally have over 200 pounds of books, manuals, CD’s, tapes, DVD’s and newsletters from all those consultants – at one point I couldn’t find my desk I was so buried in the material.
So you might ask . . . Where did I find the time to study so much? On those flights back and forth to China ! While the materials I studied had some great content I actually had to teach myself how to best apply it.

Now I have to start by asking you a question: How strong and meaningful would your relationship with your spouse, children, other relatives, neighbors friends and co-workers if you did not communicate at all with them for 30 days.No telephone, no texting, no email, no nothing! Pretty rotten right?Well, then why would you treat your customers that way? It is the same in your business. People want to do business with people they know and communicate with. That is why it is not about price. It is about relationship. Nations Restaurant News just reported only 14% of restaurant owners choose menu items based on price. So I think it is better to concentrate on the other 86%.
The average person patronizes their favorite restaurant twice a month. Therefore, if you can get your “average” customer to order ONE more time a month (or 3 visits per month one more) that would be up to a 50% increase in your sales. Therefore, much of the sales increase you are NOW looking for already exists in within the customers you ALREADY have.
The right type of communications are the type people never get tired of.
