Small Business Marketing is What You Say and What You Do

A lot of business owners and CEOs get caught in the trap of figuring out what to say to get the sale. Then, well, then things go south a bit.

Long term, marketing is really more about what you do, deliver, execute, or innovate than it is about a new slogan.

Hey, I’m not saying that a simple, impactful slogan can’t go a long way towards capturing people’s attention, I’m just saying that where your external and internal realities meet is where the money is made.

The best compliment I ever get from a client or prospect is, “you practice what you preach.”

I’m the first to admit, I don’t always live up to this myself. But, when I don’t, when small business owners don’t, it’s usually because a few things need fixing.
