Assumption is the root of revenue loss. Here's how ⤵ You think you have great marketing operations running, because you are seeing a rise in the number of leads generated. But that's where your understanding of marketing ends. You ASSUME your marketing activities are just meant to generate leads, which are then converted to paying customers by your sales team. But in all reality, this is what marketing actually does to your brand: ⭐ Builds and positions your brand in the market ⭐ Educates and engages with your customers ⭐ Maintains your reputation ⭐ Retains your customers to drive brand loyalty And do I need to tell you, what little aspects of business growth do these benefits touch? That is why, assumption is the root of revenue loss. You don't know what your marketing is supposed to do, and therefore, you track the incorrect KPIs, and you focus on things and activities which don't actually need your attention.

Timeless marketing advice… 1. Get to know your customers and prospects really, really well. Talk to them in person. Understand why they buy from you (and why they don’t). Be the absolute expert on the customer in your business. 2. Understand your competition (direct and indirect). How are you similar? How are you meaningfully different? Who holds the power in the market? Who is the default choice? Where are they weak? 3. Determine the role marketing can (and should) play in your business. Where can you have the greatest impact? What internal factors may limit this? How can you overcome these? 4. Cultivate good relationships — with the CEO, CFO, sales, HR. But do not let marketing become subservient to any of them. Marketing must be a business growth driver not a departmental support service. 5. Focus on what you can affect and not what you can’t. Understand the difference between the two. This will help protect your sanity over the long haul. You’ve got this. Good luck.

Marketing is the life-blood of a business. Yet many founder miss this ONE crucial piece that makes or breaks it: You see, prospects become customers when your product brings value to their life, right? And value is mostly going from a place of PAIN to a place of ABSENCE of pain. Yet it begs the question... Why didn't your prospect SOLVE this problem? The answer is very simple: BELIEF. Let me explain... The prospect doesn't BELIEVE this problem can be solved, Or hasn't seen anything on the market that could help with the pain. And by SHIFTING their belief on a certain pain (as concrete or abstract) you CONVINCE them that your product is the ONLY solution that fits SPECIFICALLY them. In other words: Your marketing should be about shifting beliefs. By the way... What is the value proposition that your product offers to the market? Share it in the comments below, and I'll give you some ideas on what beliefs you could target in your marketing👇

Hot take…🔥🔥🔥 Your marketing may not be working because you’re expecting instant results. The clients I’ve worked with who’ve achieved the level of revenue and growth goals they were looking for, did so because they did the hard work of showing up consistently and sharing and providing value. Most people think it’s a special strategy or hacks that help. In reality, what you need to do is: - Identify the dreams, desires, fears and goals of your potential clients. - Determine how your services can address these - Provide value, address the above, and share support for your potential client through your content on all platforms - Have a follow up process for when they come into your world - Sell to them consistently It’s not easy. It will require work. But it doesn’t have to be complicated. The ones who are successful are consistent and showing up for their potential clients. They play the long game. Remember - growing a sustainable and successful business is a marathon, not a sprint.

But how do you cut through the noise to gain people's attention? 🙋♂️ Understanding why marketing matters can help you craft campaigns that convert. 💰 Whether you focus on awareness, education, or engagement, a thoughtful marketing strategy is vital to gaining momentum in today's ultra-competitive world.

Do you know if your marketing is actually delivering results? Here are a few simple ways to check: 1. Look at the Bigger Picture: Marketing isn’t just about likes or clicks. It should help bring in real business, more calls, leads, and sales. If that’s not happening, something needs to change. 2. Are Your Leads Turning into Customers? Bringing in leads is great, but the goal is to turn them into paying customers. If your leads aren’t buying, your marketing might need a change in direction. 3. Set Clear Goals: For any campaign, decide upfront what you want to achieve, whether that’s more enquiries, increased website traffic, or brand visibility. This makes it easier to measure success. 4. Get Feedback from Customers: Ask your customers how they found you and what caught their attention. Their insights can tell you a lot about what’s working. Keeping an eye on these areas can help you understand if your marketing is delivering real value and making an impact on your business growth.

A late night rant on "marketing" And a few observations based on real conversations in real meetings with real leaders trying to figure this stuff out... Marketing is never finished. Or fully invested in. You can't market yourself out of a 💩 product. You can't market yourself out of a 💩 client experience. You can't market yourself out of a 💩 culture. If you don't connect to the emotional center (soul, heart, whatever you want to say) of the humans who buy your thing, you are irrelevant. Not because they're mean, but because you don't speak their language. No one wakes up and thinks about your company, organization, or you. They wake up and think about themselves. Their tricky relationships. Their challenging finances. Their unmet desires. Their hopes and dreams. Reliance on ads alone is like eating Snickers and drinking Dr. Pepper and feeling energetic. Relying on ads as part of a more holistic, healthy business is awesome. Marketing that looks "creative" but they never ask you how your business is doing is not marketing. Leaders who expect the "marketing" group to carry the brand's voice into the world alone have outsourced one of the most critical roles they have. Arguing over tactics feels safe and maybe keeps people employed, but it doesn't transform anything. If you don't know who you are a brand, strategically understand your best buyers, have a clear and compelling client experience, and have a team that is connected to your vision, purpose, and values, well...
