Marketing Principles

When it comes to marketing your business, try implementing these principles. 

1. The success of your business today reflects how much time, energy, and money you spend to market it.

2. The cornerstone of marketing your business is educating your prospects and clients.

3. The success of your business will depend on how well you seek new marketing avenues.

4. Most business owners are lazy, ignorant, and negligent about marketing their business. This is your retirement asset, isn’t it? So, why not get in the game and learn it.

5. Discovering and implementing new marketing strategies is the secret to creating a HUGE competitive advantage in your marketplace.

6. No competitor is safe when you are designing and implementing effective marketing techniques.

7. Stay current will all the latest and greatest sales & marketing strategies and trends. This prescription for success will put you ahead of your competition.

8. Most companies fail or can’t make the money they need to grow and expand because they only have a ONE stream client attraction system.

9. The money is in marketing your business, not selling the product or service! If you want to be a money player, you need to shift your mindset.

10. The marketing mistake that most businesses make is to not differentiate their business, products, or services provided from every other competitor in their marketplace.

11. Most businesses fall into this category.  Aggressive application of know-how, while neglecting to increase their marketing knowledge.

12. Successful businesses branch out from their comfort zone, and come to play where the money’s at.

13. Marketing is the vehicle that gives your company distinction. This is true in any economic climate and in your local/regional markets.

Try to understand this concept. You are a sales and marketing company first.

Go Beyond the Numbers to Unveil the Stories Data Tells

Numbers, by themselves, are inert. They are mere digits, devoid of context or meaning. To truly understand the story they hold, we must go beyond the raw data and enter into the narrative it reveals. This requires a nuanced approach, one that goes beyond simply presenting the figures and instead seeks to illuminate the insights they offer. The first step in interpreting data is to identify the surprises it presents. What findings defy expectations? What appears counter-intuitive? These unexpected insights often hold the key to understanding the deeper implications of the data. For instance, if a study reveals a surprising correlation between two seemingly unrelated factors, it prompts us to question our assumptions and explore the underlying mechanisms at play. When comparing multiple datasets, it is crucial to highlight both similarities and disparities. By drawing attention to the points of convergence and divergence, we gain a richer understanding of the overall picture. For example...

The Quest for Impact in Consumer Decisions Goes Beyond Price

It’s a common misconception that price is the sole driver of purchasing decisions. While cost certainly plays a role, a more in-depth understanding of consumer psychology reveals a more nuanced reality. Google’s Head of Research, Justin De Graaf, sheds light on this complexity by identifying six distinct attitudes that online searchers exhibit: Help me: This attitude reflects a need for practical assistance and problem-solving. Reassure me: This attitude signifies a desire for confidence and validation in a purchase. Educate me: This attitude indicates a thirst for knowledge and understanding about a product or service. Surprise me: This attitude represents a yearning for novelty and unexpected experiences. Impress me: This attitude signifies a desire for status and recognition associated with a purchase. Thrill me: This attitude reflects a craving for excitement and emotional engagement. It’s the last three attitudes, Surprise me, Impress me, and Thrill me, that hold the key to unders...

Turning Delay into Productivity

We all know the feeling: that looming deadline, the unfinished task, the nagging voice in our head telling us to “just do it.” Procrastination, the act of delaying, is a universal human experience. While often considered a negative trait, procrastination can actually be harnessed as a powerful tool for productivity and self-care. Instead of viewing procrastination as a weakness, consider it a gift. It allows us to pause, reflect, and make conscious choices about how we spend our time and energy. The act of delaying can prevent us from overcommitting and taking on tasks we don’t truly want or have the capacity to handle. When faced with a request or an opportunity, take a moment to consider. Say you need to check your schedule and give yourself a day or two to think it over before committing. This delay can help you avoid saying yes to things you might later regret. The irony of procrastination is that it can actually lead to increased productivity. When faced with a large, daunting tas...
