The essence of marketing is solving a problem.
During the last year, I have had dozens of introductory meetings with clients hiring me to solve marketing problems. Often, they aren’t sure where to start to get their gears in motion.
- Our problem is that we aren’t well known among our target audience.
- We don’t generate enough quality leads.
- The company’s image is stale and needs refreshing.
- What we sell is complicated, and people have a hard time understanding what we do.
- A new product we want to launch needs a great name, and we can’t find one.
- Customers don’t know about our other services so they don’t know all we can do to help.
- No one visits our website, and it doesn’t do an excellent job of telling our story.
- We seem to be all over the place -without a marketing strategy in place.
- Customers don’t trust us and buy from competitors who are cheaper.
Is Your Marketing Flat?
If you seek out marketing help, start by getting clear on what primary problem needs fixing. The better you articulate the challenge, the faster you can get some help. Marketing problems come in many flavors, but the clearer you understand the challenge, the quicker you can get help.
You need to begin with the root cause of why you are stuck. Start there.
If you have a flat tire and know that you need to get it fixed, you are halfway to moving forward.
