Sell Business Growth, Not Marketing Tools

Description

Marketing specialists often run into one of these problems:

• Doing useless work

  Clients ask for solutions that won't work.
  You have to either turn them down and lose half of incoming clients.
  Or you agree, and then do things that don't bring any real benefit for the client.

• Low margins

  Agency business does not scale well. You depend a lot on key employees, the sales process often takes months.
  Marketing tools are a commodity. You compete in a red ocean where everybody sells the same thing for cheap.
  Even if you have a big team and a lot of revenue, you don't earn that much profit.

• Clients don't talk strategy

  Clients don't talk about their high-level business goals, their strategy and the real problem in their business.
  Clients don't show any high-level metrics of their business.
  It's hard to reach the decision maker.

It's not about marketing anymore

Your clients ask you for marketing. But the real problem in their business is often somewhere else:

- Product value: the product sucks, there's no sales

- Sales process: leaky funnel, client loses leads you acquire

- Unit economics: your clients scale losses, not profits

- Management and execution: the client does not do what you planned with them

... and it prevents them from using your marketing services to full potential.

If you want to help your clients grow, you have to look not only at marketing, but at their business as a whole.

You want to look for the most important problem in the company that prevents them from growing x10, becoming a unicorn, or achieving their most ambitious goals.

You diagnose your client's business as a whole, find the bottleneck in their business, and help them fix it.

Here's how it works:

• You find the bottleneck in your client's business and help the client come up with a plan for fixing it.

• The client implements the plan.
  If you can help them with your marketing services somewhere down this road, you do this for an additional fee.

• You get feedback, see what works and what doesn't, fix this bottleneck, and move on to the next one.
