The Step-by-Step Plan to Increase Profit: Part 2. Marketing
Marketing is an essential part of every business. But too many businesses waste millions of dollars on marketing that doesn’t work. Not because the ads look bad, or are poorly done, because they skip the critical first step before spending money on marketing. They fail to create a message that connects with customers. One that will cut through the noise and cause people to stop and listen. Transform your business with the How to Grow a Business Checklist, Part 2.
6 Critical Areas of Business Work Together
Business works like a machine. A money making machine.
Every business has 6 critical parts:
- Cockpit / Leadership
- Right Engine / Marketing
- Left Engine / Sales
- Wings / Products/Services
- Body / Overhead
- Fuel Tanks / Cash Flow
When the 6 major areas work together properly, it produces revenue and profit.
Right Engine / Marketing
Clarify your message.
Most businesses are so eager to get their products and services into the hands of customers, they skip one critical step. Instead, they break out a credit card and start spending money on ads and marketing campaigns. Most of those dollars are wasted.
Marketing is the fastest way to bring cash into a company. But failing to have a CLEAR Message prior to implementing your marketing means most of your message will miss the target. The result is just great looking ads that don’t convert. Businesses that take the time to create a BrandScript and create the only 7 messages needed to connect with customers before spending marketing dollars will get much larger returns.
Customers will understand how they will achieve the life they want. They’ll see how all 3 levels of their problems (internal, external & philosophical) are solved. (Join the group to understand why that’s important.)
When companies learn to position the customer as the hero and the business as the trusted guide that gives them a path to success customers engage. Sales and profits increase.
The power of creating a CLEAR Message before spending money on marketing is huge. Every dollar spent on marketing brings greater returns and customers become your unpaid sales force.
But what if you haven’t spent the time to clarify your message and your business is growing anyway? Great news. You have even greater potential to harness the power of getting CLEAR.
If you are already having success, once you put the StoryBrand framework in place your results will skyrocket. Providing the clear path to what your customers want and solving all 3 levels of problems with a clear call to action that helps your customer achieve success and avoid failure will transform your business into a profit-generating machine.
