What would you give to be the best? What would you do to establish your company as the premier expert in your field? Sadly, the answer to these questions is often 'not much.' Why is this? Why are phrases like 'it sells itself' still in our vocabulary. I am often baffled by stories of the pet rock and grey goose vodka (it typically scores well bellow cheaper vodkas in blind taste tests). These companies made millions off of marketing alone.
I'm definitely not saying that you should ignore the quality of your product offering or turn your back on innovation, but your marketing should be given just as much consideration. Olympic athletes train with absolute conviction and total dedication. That's what it takes to be the best. Too many business owners are so afraid of making a bad decision that they're left with indecision and indecision is what drives people crazy!
Now my job is to consult with people about their online marketing. I know that marketing decisions are sometimes hard to make. How much should you spend on search marketing and SEO? How much should I dedicate to web design? Should I pay a consultant to monitor the content on my site and blog? These are not easy questions to answer, but we must have the courage and conviction to face them. The only way to truly grow your business is to pick a plan and stand by it with total conviction. Go for the gold.
