I am probably going to piss off my fellow marketers, but I believe in honesty and despise sugar-coating. I am tired of watching marketers prey on enthusiastic business owners by promising overnight success with a swanky SEO package. They exploit your enthusiasm by convincing you that a sexy tactic-level marketing gimmick will magically solve all your business problems. Enthusiasm is an honorable quality, but if you’re not careful, it may leave you vulnerable.
The truth is the typical marketer lacks the motivation and expertise to identify the root cause that is keeping your business from succeeding. Don’t fall for the gimmicks. Don’t pay a marketing firm thousands of dollars to slap a bandage on a misdiagnosed issue that will remain long after their contract has expired. Marketing is merely one skill set within a business expert’s toolbox. You need an expert to build and implement your business blueprint. Here’s my point: Never send a marketer to do the job of a business expert.
Think of the blueprint for your dream home. There are multiple areas that must be cohesively governed for it to be built and function properly. You would never hire the gardener to handle the plumbing. Your dream home may look pretty from the outside, but you’ll soon find yourself knee-deep in shit wondering where that gardener went with all your money.
