When the customer thanks you for your marketing

Most of us cringe at the thought of interrupting, hyping, and manipulating the people we’re marketing to. We don’t want to stoop to all of the high-maintenance, high-pressure, spin-filled stuff that the experts tell us we need to embrace. And we certainly don’t want to spend our lives in social media, fighting for likes and attention.

Marketing doesn’t have to be this way. It doesn’t have to be a disdainful activity, one that you do poorly, under duress.

In fact, the best marketing is something we do with people, and for them. The best marketing is thrilling, effective and generous. The best marketing is something you can learn how to do.

Your projects. Your questions. Your problems.Most courses on marketing don’t talk about your projects. Most books on marketing don’t examine the details of your problems. Most webinars don’t answer your follow-up questions. And there isn’t a consultant in the world who can read your mind to help you through your confusion.The result?
