Step-by-Step Process to STOP Wasting Money On Your Online Marketing
| |
| So it's been a touch over two months since I posted my rant on the "posers" in the online marketing world.
Believe it or not I am still fired up over the "hacks" that swindle business owners out of their money for services they are less than qualified to provide. I am quite sure I'll continue to be irritated because this type of junk will never stop.
Rather than go off on another tangent, I want to provide some value and equip you with a step-by-step process I promised to post if enough of you asked for it.
Well, I received several requests and although it's been awhile ... here you go! |

Your Revenue Forecast Is Wrong
| |
| I received several questions in response to my post titled The Purpose of Numbers on a Y Axis and my followup post titled The Lack of Numbers of Y Axis Doesn’t Disqualify You. One of the questions prompted a rant in my brain that often spills out of my mouth when I’m on the receiving end of an early stage pitch. |

Today's "rant" - faking it
| |
| I see people every day put on their phony face as if they are interested in learning about anything new and different and then going about their business as if nothing is changing. Putting your head in the sand will not make change go away. So please: |

Today's rant - "customer service"
| |
| I started thinking about this as I was doing some research for my cancer-stricken brother. In the medical world it is “patient” service, in the retail world it is “customer” service, in the travel industry we are called “travelers” and in the Broadcast world we are labeled “viewers” or “advertisers.” However, we don’t think of ourselves as any of those labels. |

Today's "rant" - it's just business
| |
| We are organized into businesses but, in the end, we are people dealing with people and the excuse “it’s just business,” or “company policy” is just that – excuses. It’s easier to place the blame on this nebulous thing we call “the business/policy” and hide behind it. |

Today's "rant" - anti social marketing
| |
| What are you doing with all those likes you’ve purchased? All those likes are nothing more than ego chest pumping (“I have more likes than you do – na na na”) if you aren’t moving them up your product relationship chain to becoming loyalists. How many of your likes have you been able to convert into loyalists? How many of your likes do you see returning to your facebook page? How many are you interacting with? How many are you listening to and communicating with? How has your own site traffic and ratings grown? After all, don’t you want them to like you and your products so you can monetize these relationships? |

The Dying Art of Discipline

Machine Gun Marketing
| |
| Ok, I am going to rant a bit over an honest mistake but in this day and age, I wonder what demographics this company is using? Several months ago, I started receiving a very high-end horse magazine. Suburbia me, I can't even remember the last time I was on a horse. In fairness, 15 years ago I did attend a horse show. |

Stress and the Sales Cycle
| |
| On one hand we are being told that the economy is improving, turning around, doing better. On the other hand we hear our colleagues say that sales are down, services are still being cut back. Jobs are being cut and the jobless rate continues to inch higher. There is the flavor and smell of fear in almost every workplace.
If sales are down then what is up? Stress and office conflict are on the increase and the natural tendency to blame and judge is on the rise. Recently a very angry client called me with the following question. Actually, it was more than a question; it was a ten minute rant and rave about injustice and unfairness. It went something like this "He stole my idea. He used my exact words and took all the credit. |
