Ferny Ceballos shares the story of his cousin Jimmy where he woke up one Saturday morning because there was somebody knocking on their door. When he opened the door, he saw a salesman offering frozen meat products.
Jimmy said the salesperson was snappy. He smiled and talked confidently just like a typical salesman should. Jimmy was still feeling sleepy because he just woke up so he couldn’t really pay attention to what the salesperson was saying even if he wanted to. In reality, Jimmy actually wanted the salesman to leave so he could go back to sleep. However, the salesperson had a rebuttal for all his excuses.
Jimmy’s wife, Margarita, was also awakened by what happened. She went to check on her husband who had been gone a while and saw that Jimmy was trying to get rid of the salesperson but he couldn’t. Finally, she asked, “Are the steaks kosher?”
The salesman said they weren’t so Margarita quickly quipped, “I don’t want them.”
Because of this, the salesperson spent a lot of time and effort that could have been used instead for other opportunities that are profitable. In the end, the salesman wound up irritating Jimmy and his wife because he woke them up on a Saturday morning.
This is a perfect example of the common mistake most business owners commit when it comes to marketing. The salesperson was going door to door hoping to be lucky enough to find someone who would buy the steaks he offered. Instead, he should have studied his market first before offering his products.
If he did his homework, the salesman would know if the owner of the house would be interested in his frozen meat goods. He would have found out that he would be talking to a Jewish family who only ate kosher meat. All he did was to use the ‘shotgun’ approach in the hopes of finding someone who would buy his product. The salesperson could have just used his time and effort to talk to another resident who might actually buy from him. Who knows, Jimmy’s next-door neighbor might have been planning to hold a barbecue party that weekend.
The best way to market your business is by studying your target audience first. You have to determine who would genuinely be interested in the products, services, or business opportunity you offer. Who would be the perfect customer for your business? Doing so will help you save a lot of time and money.

Focus your efforts on marketing to the right people who have an interest or need for your business. Once you determine the wants and needs of your market, you can create a stronger connection with them. This can help you attract customers and entice repeat business with them in the future.
