“Smart Marketing Consulting” – Closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. It is all about the message, the market and then your media.
How am I Going to Compete Outside of the Corporate World?!
- The purpose of what the corporate world was doing was not fulfilling to Carrie anymore.
- Instead of wide-net marketing, she jumped into honing in on technology and target that perfect client.
- If does not matter what the benefits are, if you do not love what you do, it is not worth it.
- Having a job that you hate, it takes away your motivation and energy even after hours.
Passion Search
- Ask yourself: “If you didn’t have to make any money, what would you do?”
- There is nothing you can do more than display your knowledge and what you’ve done to gain the trust and attention of your niche.
- Capitalize on people trusting you. It is about creating value and not asking anything from them except for maybe a name and an e-mail address.
- All too often, people in marketing are going up to people and first say, “Buy my stuff, buy my stuff.” There needs to be progression.
There are 3 key ways to grow your business:
- Increase the amount of customers
- Increase the average transaction overall
- Increase the average transaction per customer
- Linkedin? Facebook? Twitter? Do I need to be on that?
-
- The better or bigger answer is, “It depends.” Where is your niche?
- How are you handling current customers? Are you giving value first?
- WHO are you marketing to? Identify the specifics, try to describe the perfect client. Then use that to advertise smartly.
