One reason hiring a lead gen agency is a great move: The good ones have developed their “Messaging Muscle”. I’ve worked with enough businesses myself to be able to spot “big picture” messaging errors in almost any offer. And when you’re refining messaging for your own business, you risk being “too close”. If you can’t zoom out and look at your offer with fresh eyes, you wreck your chances at running a killer outbound campaign.

"If you are, say, $500k in ARR, you can’t hire a CMO that needs a team of 15-20 around her/him. You just don’t have the capital or infrastructure. But what I’ve learned time and time again is you need to hire the most senior marketer you can that will still do the work. Why? You need someone that will hold a number, a commitment. To leads, to pipeline, to opportunities, to revenue. Whatever stage of the funnel makes sense for you, you need someone that can own it." Read more in SaaStr https://lnkd.in/g9t8pJbf

He would recommend me ANYTIME (even though I just started his company's work) This is an old client whom I've worked with as a copywriter and then I was just transitioning into sales and marketing. On Sunday, he reached out via a group we have in common to ask if I was still very much active in sales and marketing. He just started his company and would want me to come on board as a sales and marketing strategist for the growth and while we were still talking about that, as you can see in the picture below, he talked about one of his bosses and said he would recommend me anytime he requested someone. What do you see in this? Credibility. He has worked with me before, wants to work with me again, and is confident enough to recommend me for the same role anytime! Like I always say, INTENTIONALITY to Serve and not Sell is key. When you are ready to serve your ideal clients, It'll be easy for opportunities to find its way to you. Have you found yourself being recommended over and over? P.S. Do you want to tackle Sales/Deals closing challenges? and experience, Sold out, Massive Quality Leads, High Profits, and Great influence. DM "SALES" and let's talk. #salesandmarketing #founders

📢 PSA: Social Media Managers are not salespeople. Often, social media managers are seen as direct salespeople. While sales are an important aspect, our true value lies elsewhere and our role is much broader. We build communities of loyal followers, enhance brand awareness, foster transparent digital relationships and much more! Asking your social media manager's sole focus to be driving sales is the equivalent of asking your salespeople to craft engaging content, build brand narratives, and manage online communities. Each role has its unique strengths and contributions. If you need a direct sales specialist, hire one. Let's recognize and value the distinct expertise each position brings to the table. 👏 Attached is a (terrible quality) photo of me, in my element, crafting content for a snowmobile-focused clothing brand. Creating fun and relatable content is one of the things I love most about my social media focused work.

30 years in the ad agency growth business, and some things never change. Like starting the year without a new business plan, person, or priorities. Like not investing in new business when times are good or seeking expert help. Like relegating new business responsibilities to a junior account manager or keeping it all with the CEO. Like hiring an appointment setter and sitting through countless worthless meetings. Like contracting a lead generator without setting a strategy and sharpening your positioning, messaging, branding, and expertise. And the list goes on.
