1. Unforgettable Impressions: Crafting a Brand Message That Sticks and Sells

Most brands make an invisible first impression.

It’s not that they make a bad first impression—but it’s also not a good first impression. It’s just invisible.

An HealthTech Startup we worked with told me that their product helped medical practices streamline their billing, insurance claims, etc. For those unfamiliar with what this is, it's called Revenue Cycle Management. That was quite innovative as it indeed had streamlined quite a number of processes in one place. Their app indeed had a lot of features going. That sounded great but the same could be said of a bunch of other RCM systems out there, as well as other service providers!

After analyzing around 15 RCM websites, I was convinced that they either had hired the same copywriter, and he was too lazy to write individual copy for each, or they all copied from one another, and they now sounded like a catholic choir singing in unison. The perfect strategy to get prospects to ignore you. I see this happen way too much across industries. I can't even call out a culprit because, across industries, small to big, these mistakes are jarring.

The truth was that those words go in one ear and out the other and come off as standard marketing speak.

That's an invisible first impression.

I want you to take a minute to think. How many times have you seen an ad or some form of marketing message out & about, categorized it within the first 10 secs, and immediately shut it out of your brain?

Those are invisible first impressions.

Consider all of the invisible first impressions you see as a consumer on a daily. How many billboards do you drive past that you pay no attention to? How many commercials run in the background of your TV or radio while driving that you’re tuning out? Think about how much money was spent to put those forgettable ads into the world.

I hate to say this, but I’d say more than 50 percent of all marketing teams make this mistake. They create invisible ads that nobody reads or cares about.

What your marketing needs to do is help your prospects memorize your offer. Good marketing is an exercise in memorization and all successful brands know and bank on it. Repeating the same message in the same way across marketing channels so that it sticks. That is the marketing ecosystem. This allows you to brand yourself into your customer’s minds. Live rent-free in your consumer minds in that category

So, prior to creating your marketing strategy, you absolutely have to have clarity on these four things that you want to be associated with your brand.

What problem do you solve for customers? What will your customer’s life look like if they buy your product? What consequences does your product help customers avoid? What does somebody need to do to buy your product?

Each sale and marketing message you create should break through the noise and speak directly to your ideal customers.

2. 3 Reasons Your Content Fails: How to Strategically Create and Deliver Content That Will Skyrocket Your Growth

Spoke on most marketing messages making invisible impressions, & this expands to content marketing as it's a messaging deployment tool.

If you ever thought to yourself " I have tried content marketing and it doesn't work." I hear you, but before we throw the baby in the bathwater, let's explore

We can both agree that content marketing has become a crucial aspect of any successful business strategy. Companies that focus on delivering valuable content to their audience have been found to have higher engagement rates, increased attention from the market, and a greater likelihood of converting leads into customers. However, despite the potential benefits of content marketing, not all businesses are seeing the same level of success. Here are three common reasons why your content might not be working, and what you can do to fix it.

2.1.You are Talking to the Wrong Market

One of the most common mistakes businesses make when it comes to content marketing is failing to understand their audience. This means not only knowing who your target market is, but also understanding their needs, desires, pain points, and interests. If you're creating content that doesn't resonate with your audience, they'll simply ignore it or even worse, unfollow your brand.

To ensure that your content speaks directly to your target audience, take the time to conduct thorough market research. This includes analyzing your website analytics, conducting surveys, and monitoring social media channels. Use this data to create buyer personas, which are fictionalized representations of your ideal customers. By understanding their likes, dislikes, and behaviors, you can create content that speaks directly to their needs and desires.

2.2. You're Delivering the Wrong Message

Another common mistake businesses make is failing to deliver the right message.

Even if you're targeting the right audience, your content won't be effective if it doesn't communicate your brand's values, voice, and tone.

To ensure that your content is communicating the right message, start by defining your brand's voice and tone. This should be based on your brand's values, mission, and personality. For example, a brand that values humor and levity might use a more casual and conversational tone in its content, while a brand that values professionalism might use a more formal and authoritative tone.

Once you've defined your brand's voice and tone, make sure that your content is consistent with it. This means using the same language, tone, and style across all your content, whether it's a blog post, social media post, or email newsletter. This consistency helps to reinforce your brand's identity and make it more recognizable to your audience.

2.3. You're Not Serving in Your Content

Finally, another common mistake businesses make is failing to provide value in their content. This means creating content that is useful, informative, and engaging for your audience.

If your content isn't providing value, your audience will quickly lose interest and move on to other brands that are delivering content that meets their needs.

To create content that provides value, start by understanding your audience's needs and pain points. What are they struggling with? What questions do they have? What are their goals and aspirations? Once you understand these things, create content that addresses these needs and provides solutions.

This could mean creating educational content that teaches your audience your perspective. It could also mean creating content that is entertaining, inspiring, belief-shifting, or motivational. Whatever type of content you create, make sure that it is providing value to your audience and helping them achieve their goals.

So, creating effective content marketing will require a strategic approach that takes into account the needs and interests of your audience. By understanding your target market, communicating the right message, and providing value in your content, you can create a content marketing strategy that will help you achieve your business goals.

3. Why You Are Not Getting Sales

If You are not making sales or you’re making sales, but it’s not consistent, or perhaps you have to grind your axe hard to make sales, & you realize that it isn't sustainable, then maybe it is time to install a clear sales process in your business or work. A sales process can help you ensure that your revenue becomes REPEATABLE, PREDICTABLE, AND SUSTAINABLE.

As a business owner, it is important that you incorporate a process that is a good fit for you, &that has been tested long enough to make it work.

As we speak about creating this sales process, ours is a sales content system, that is known as the content marketing ecosystem playbook. I, however, have to address the BIGGEST mistake I often see play out.

Most business owners are often playing tennis, jumping from one shiny sales strategy that is the flavor of the month to the next, & never properly testing them adequately to allow them to work.

So, they end up wasting a great deal of time and energy, and are often left confused and frustrated! Never knowing what’s working or what's not?

So, how do we fix this created spaghetti mess currently on the wall?

First, we have to make the decision to stick it out for a while, establish KPIs, and test it. Marketing is about testing

Now, Create and incorporate the sales system into the business. This is a series of steps you do daily or weekly to generate sales. Once properly incorporated, you will have a system that you will be able to troubleshoot and figure out why it's not working, and enhance the things that are working, thus turning it into a well-oiled machine.

Once you have successfully incorporated one sales process then you can eventually stack another one on top of it, instead of always running after the next shiny strategy you saw on YouTube. Because when you don't do it in this manner, you won't be able to establish what you’re doing that is working because you are continuously going back to square

How do you create a sales system? Start by identifying everything you do now that leads to a sale & write them down. Now, ask yourself?

Are these steps repeatable? Are these things that can easily be done every day?

Can someone else easily replicate it if you are incapacitated? Are they predictable? Do you have tangible data to measure your efforts?

Is it sustainable? Is this something you can do for a year, not get burnt out, and still get results?

If you answered no to any of these, begin to adjust your system until you can say yes to all of them because that becomes your sales standard operating system.

One thing for sure, and 2 for certain, without a system, you will have a hard time with your sales process

Systems allow you to create predictable outcomes. This way you can make calculated and informed decisions on what to fix and what to amplify.

To ensure that your marketing efforts provide value, always put yourself in your audience's shoes. Think about what questions they may have, what problems they're trying to solve, and what information they're seeking. Then, create content & systems that directly address those needs and provide practical solutions by meeting them where they are. Avoid generic, sales-driven content that only promotes your products or services, and instead focus on creating content that genuinely helps and engages your audience.

In conclusion, content marketing and an efficient sales system can be powerful tools for businesses when done right. By understanding your audience, delivering the right message, providing value in your content because it resonates with your target market, and implementing a sales system that meets your prospects where they are, you can drive engagement and conversions.
