Offline Marketing – Not Dead Yet!

No matter what you’re selling, it’s easier to sell it to someone right in front of you. While having an online presence is undoubtedly important, I’ve noticed that too many business owners seem to forget the low-tech marketing options available to them. Networking and face-to-face communication are still important. And on this episode of Incremental […]

One Size Fits No-one

Would you tell your grandmother about your brand-new pair of Yeezys? She’d probably look at you and (rightfully) ask you why someone in their right mind would use that name for a pair of shoes. You’d just tell her you bought shoes. You’d tailor the message for the person who’s receiving it. So start using […]

Position Your Wow Factor

Position Your Wow Factor

Before you even finish reading this sentence, I’ve bet you’ve already unconsciously decided whether you like me or not (would it help if I told you that you look great in that outfit?) These unconscious computations mean that, if you’re a person who makes a living by speaking, you’ve got a short window of time […]

Produce the Show, not the Commercial

Produce the Show, not the Commercial

Nobody wants to watch commercials. Unless, of course, you’re talking about the Super Bowl. Leaving the football entirely aside, it’s famous for its lavish and well-produced ads. What’s the difference between those ads and the kind you hate seeing on usual network television? It’s because Super Bowl ads are actually trying to be good pieces […]

Quarterly Planning Deep Cuts

Quarterly Planning Deep Cuts

In late November of 2017, Measurable Genius ran a 90-day Business Planning Workshop at SAIT. It was a tremendous success, a lot of fun, and I got to create a lot of value for my friends, clients, and everyone who attended. You may remember my Facebook livestream about the difference between accountability and responsibility. In […]

Reframe that Perspective

Reframe that Perspective

“Oh my God, I’m never going to have time to do all of this. And isn’t it going to be really expensive?” Yes. It’s going to be some work. And you’ll need to hire some team or pay an agency like mine to produce some content. At scale, though, none of that matters. It all […]

Reframe Your Perspective on Content Marketing

Reframe Your Perspective on Content Marketing

Content marketing isn’t a gamble. Of course, there are variables, like the quality of your content, your customers’ perceptions of your products and services, the volatility of the market, or click-through and landing page conversion rates. It doesn’t change the fact that every business can ultimately determine their customer acquisition cost if they try hard […]

SELL YOUR STORY

SELL YOUR STORY

The core to any business is selling things. That much is obvious. And when you’re a service company, you’ve got to sell yourself. Or, at least, sell a story about yourself. “Hi! Do you have X problem? Then we have X solutions!” Solving for X is the hard part. Finding a story, an identity, that […]

Spending Time on Facebook is Your Job

If you want to grow your business, you need to be spending more time scrolling through your Facebook Newsfeed. And before you ask, yes, I have seen those TEDx talks with the professor types preaching that social media is rotting our brains and crafting us into twitchy, focus-deprived balls of neuroses. Like with all black-and-white […]

SPOOKY SCARY GENIUSES

SPOOKY SCARY GENIUSES

Webinars are a strategy that I have seen work for coaches, speakers, and seminar leaders time and time again. And, like everything else, you don’t need to do them perfectly the first time around. The most important step is the first one, and if you delay that constantly by trying to be perfect, you’ll never […]
