How I Work (my five-step approach)
1
Focus on the customer, product and marketplace
A key part of marketing success is having a strong grasp on a customer’s needs, goals and interests, and how they make buying decisions. You also want insight into what rivals are doing.
4
Establish your priorities
Driving marketing goals hinges on effectively doing things that deliver a return on investment and effort. This provides a well-defined roadmap for short and long-term needs.
2
Create an engaging story
Standing out from the crowd is driven by clearly articulated what you do, the value delivered by your products, and who’s being served. A compelling story and messaging establish the foundation for marketing success.
5
Tactical execution
To connect with your audiences, you need content (aka stories) – Websites, videos, infographics, etc. – created by myself, or by a network of trusted suppliers (aka The Federation).
3
Develop a marketing plan
Who are the audiences for your stories and how do you connect them? As important, you need to align resources (people, time and money) with your tactical objectives, and be track your progress.
