Demonstrating Confidence – The Assurance Embodied in a MIFGE

Offering a Most Incredible Free Gift Ever (MIFGE) is a bold declaration of confidence in the quality and desirability of one’s products or services. A strategic maneuver signals to customers and competitors that a brand stands firmly behind its offerings. This move is rooted in the belief that once customers experience the caliber of the product or service, they will not only be satisfied but will become recurring patrons, advocates, and the best ambassadors for the brand.

This confidence is communicated subtly yet powerfully to the market. When a brand offers a piece of its portfolio without charge, it suggests that it does not rely solely on immediate transactions for success but relies on the inherent value it delivers. The underlying message is that there is plentiful value to be had, so much so that the brand can afford to give some of it away, assured that this taste will whet the customer’s appetite for more.

Furthermore, a MIFGE can act as a benchmark for the customer’s expectations. By providing a high-quality free offering, the brand sets a precedent for the level of quality that customers can anticipate in future interactions and purchases. This puts a clear standard: what the customer receives for free is merely a glimpse of the excellence that awaits them should they choose to engage further with the brand.

The gesture of a MIFGE also helps dismantle skepticism barriers that many consumers naturally hold. In a market where claims of quality and superiority are abundant, a MIFGE allows customers to verify those claims firsthand. This is the brand saying, “Don’t take our word for it—judge for yourself.” It’s an invitation to test the promise of quality without the usual accompanying risks of disappointment or buyer’s remorse.

Offering a MIFGE indicates confidence in the product’s quality and ability to fulfill and exceed the customer’s needs and expectations. It is an acknowledgment that the actual value of a product or service is realized in its use and a conviction that once experienced, the customer will understand and appreciate the real and tangible benefits it offers.

Moreover, this confidence can be infectious. Customers who receive a MIFGE and find that it indeed lives up to the hype are more likely to share their experiences. They become convinced not just of the product’s value but also of the brand’s ethos and integrity. This can create a feedback loop of positivity and trust that further cements the brand’s reputation in the marketplace.

A MIFGE is a testament to a brand’s self-assurance in its value proposition. It is a strategy that takes the age-old adage of “show, don’t tell” to new heights. By allowing customers to experience the quality of an offering firsthand, a MIFGE can turn passive observers into active participants, casual browsers into committed buyers, and solitary purchasers into vocal advocates. It’s a powerful display of confidence that can foster trust, loyalty, and a robust brand-customer relationship.

In February 2020, at the onset of COVID-19D 19 pandemic, he was bedridden for ten weeks. As a result, Dunworth gave up his lucrative marketing agency and dedicated his life as a pro bono servant leader for NGOs, Foundations, nonprofits and ministries. His leadership and dedication to serving others above himself are reflected in his service to nonprofits like TAG4Change Uganda, SynerVision Leadership Foundation’s Board Chair, Board member of Peaces of Me Foundation, Equp Our Kida, Kings Counsel & Trust Family Office Ministry, and others. INTERNATIONAL SPEAKER AND AUTHOR Having lived and worked in more than seven countries, achieving international acclaim and prestige did not take much more than daily devotion to his expertise. An internationally known Best-Selling Author of 6 books, having shared the international stage with industry experts Berny Dohrmann, Dan Kennedy, Bert Oliva, Gerry Foster, Les Brown, and many others. PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Dunworth’s most impressive post-military position was as COO/General Manager of a mamouth private club owned by Ford Motor Company. Under supervision by the Chairman of the Board of Ford Land (the real estate arm of FMC), Dunworth managed to completely reverse the 15-year annual loss in excess of $1.5 Million to a net profit of $1.2 Million in less than four years, accomplishing this through comprehensive marketing and advertising of its public banquet and conference facility, and growing the membership from 3100 families to 3700 families within that time frame. Dunworth served two masters, so to speak. Fairlane Club and Manor was the largest property managed by ClubCorp. They held 250 clubs worldwide. By meeting with the Chairman of the Board of Ford Land, Wayne Doran, monthly, Dunworth produced the highest revenues in the company, solidified the failing relationship between ClubCorp and Ford, and was generously compensated for his bulldog tenacity and unfailing “never give up” philosophy.

He attended Wilson College, Madonna University, and King’s College London and has taken a myriad of online courses and certification training. He is a Certified Magnetic Marketing Advisor, Certified Club Manager, Licensed Mortgage Broker, Accredited Associate of the Institute of International Business, and Life Member of the Oxford Club.  His 10,000 hours plus in Life’s University is perhaps his greatest source of experience and wisdom that no brick and mortar could ever provide.
