🎤 🎧 Are you listening or speaking?
In marketing, do you think listening to your audience is more important than speaking to them? 👉 For example, is success more about sharing your message… or truly understanding what people want first?

In my opinion you have to listen before speaking. I build trust by listening and understanding so that I can better tailor my message. I used to do a ton of public speaking and while I was up on stage, I would monitor body language and facial expressions, basically listen to my audience, so that I could better communicate with them.

We live in a tech heavy world and I'm curious to learn how other marketing people balance working off a hunch and instinct vs. using technology to make creative decisions.
Tips from September's 4th-Friday call!
Best tip of the day - check out John's Plaud ai watch. John owns an excavation and dredging company and it records his client and contractor meetings throughout the day and has a summary ready when he gets back to the office. Nevin and Theresa are focusing on Inboard Enterprises moving forward (yep, he really is a rocket scientist), but they will still do custom embroidered apparel for us. Logo polos, laptop or log book cases, hats, whatever you need they can do it. Reviewing this month's market research and setting marketing objectives is our next step. We will have a informal check in call at 10 a.m. central time on Wednesday, Oct. 8. Then get serious about blocking off noon Friday, Oct. 31 for a halloween meetup to report big wins from the month and goals for November. We want every one positioned. to launch their best year ever in January. ORIGINAL MEETING MESSAGE There are 30 business owners, marketing managers and experienced mentors standing by to help you implement consistent marketing in order to make your revenue milestones.. Please join us at Friday, Sept. 26 at noon central time to celebrate big wins and plan for the month ahead. The call agenda includes: - Welcome - Setting the stage for success in October - see image below - Member Introductions and big wins - Any feedback on what you want from this group and future meeting dates This is the ZOOM LOGIN, Password 2025. Or you can login from the calendar page of Skool. Between now and then try to download the app or at least sign in to Skool from a browser and do an introductory post or ask a question. To access advanced lessons you must have an introduction and get 5 likes on comments or questions. This is a marketing support group. It only works if we are responsive to each other. I'm looking forward to talking to you on Friday. If you have questions or want a tour of the platform don't hesitate to call.

Meeting celebrities has always been a fun part of my career. I met a ton of famous musicians during my broadcasting days like Sting, Smokey Robinson, Garth Brooks, and Janet Jackson and while in Liquor I worked with boxer Oscar De La Hoya, Shaq, Eddie Montgomery, and Frank Sinatra Jr. This made the long hours not so long....lol
