Can you relate to any of these statements?
“People don’t understand what we do or who we are.”
“I don’t have a marketing plan.”
“I can’t afford to hire a full-time marketing person (or department).”
“I had my cousin (relative, friend-of-a-friend) design my website, but no one goes there.”
“I had my aunt’s friend’s nephew design my website, and it got hacked—or now he’s AWOL—or the site won’t work anymore—or it won’t show up on Google.”
“I don’t have time to work on marketing my business.”
“I’ve tried social media, but it didn’t really help my business.”
“I’m on all the social media channels, but I just can’t keep up.”
“I’ll just use AI (e.g., ChatGPT, Bard, etc.) to write my content for me.”
“It takes too much time to work on our marketing.”
As marketing consultants, here’s what we say:

“We’ll develop successful marketing strategies and marketing plans for you.”
“You can’t afford NOT to market your business.”
“We provide valuable marketing services that help generate business, so you can get a return on your investment.”
“We design websites that tell your brand story and get relevant traffic.”
“We’ll focus on your marketing so you can focus on running your business.”
“Social media may be the ‘shiny object’ of marketing, but it’s not necessarily the most powerful tactic; it may or may not be right for your business.”
“Powerful, high-quality content that tells your story is more powerful than spam generated by AI.”
“We can help create efficiencies, personalization, and revenue growth with marketing automation.”
