The BEFORE state and AFTER state scenario implies the journey of a customer when he decides to choose a certain product or service. The general view is, that BEFORE the customer acquired that product or service, he was in a “sad” state. However, AFTER he consumes that product, his state shifts from sad, to a “happier” one. A marketer’s job is to make his prospect move from the BEFORE state to the AFTER state in such a way, that there is significant variation in his two states BEFORE and AFTER purchasing the product.
For instance, let’s say a customer was very sad and dissatisfied with his car BEFORE he decided to switch it with a certain new one. AFTER he makes the purchase and uses the new car for some time, his former state shifts to a really happy and satisfied one. Since there is a noticeably huge gap between the two states, the marketer has gained enough success for his business.
That said, what should you do if you want your customers to move from the BEFORE to the AFTER state? Good marketing involves offering something of Value to the customer. Your ability to change your prospect’s state from BEFORE to AFTER will in turn, move YOUR business’s state in the same direction.
The ultimate success or failure of your product or offering depends on your target consumers’ PERCEPTION of your product, and unfortunately, their first perception of your product is often the one that lasts. Therefore, it is a dire necessity to ensure the first impression is a good one.

Every entrepreneur, man or woman, needs sponsors for their business, so that they can raise money to invest in their products, services or marketing. Following are some tips for women entrepreneurs to attract sponsors:
- You need to be clear about your demographics and platform; demographics mean the market you are targeting. If your target market is men, then you need to know about their influencing power on purchase decisions. Consider the publications, which your target market indulges in the most, for example, Men’s Health.
- You need to have a sponsor proposal; it has to be a compelling proposal so that the sponsor you are targeting will not be able to refuse. You need to connect with the sponsor on a personal level.
- To attract the sponsor, you can start with a story, as to why you started the business, your inspiration, what you do and its importance. You also need to explain the benefits that your business has for the sponsor.
- If you don’t have experience in attracting sponsors, then you should seek help from experts in the field.
- You need to ask sponsors for money, because they won’t ask you how much money you need.
- You need to promise specific media coverage, by telling sponsors about the mediums through which you are going to promote them.
- Don’t sell yourself short, because if you don’t believe in your business and you ask for less money, then why should the sponsor believe in your business?
- Find the right person to communicate with your sponsors, someone who can persuade others and has a charismatic personality.
- You need to keep in touch with your sponsor, otherwise they will feel that you don’t care!
Sponsors are an important part of the business and you need to learn how to attract them!
