I’ve been fortunate over the years to have attended a great deal of training about marketing, but in the beginning I could only afford to read books So I created a virtual mastermind group. I had the best and the brightest minds available to me in the world, and it only cost me the time it took to read.

Today it always makes me smile when someone says “Nice work James, that’s very much like …” and then they name some respected world expert. Pretty cool I think.

So yes, I enjoyed your Mark story and I think I might “borrow” it for the next time I’m teaching a group about the importance of marketing their business. Cheers! – James

During his employment with us, we dramatically increased our lead flow and the number of deals we closed.So putting aside marketing money every month is an excellent way to boost your business to the next level.we didn’t have a CLUE how to market ourselves or our product. So we decided to start by budgeting $3,000 each month to marketing and that we’d figure things out from there.

Great marketing idea.
Marketing is everything in business.
Even if you have a crappy product but excellent marketing you can become successful.
Not that I recommend you try to build your business with a crappy anything, but marketing works everytime.
So putting aside marketing money every month is an excellent way to boost your business to the next level.

Eric,

That’s a funny story about marketing! I’ve spent many years struggling to run my business and then a good friend said,”Michael, you do fantastic work! But, if no one knows, no one buys.” Marketing has not been my strength. And, if a business struggles, it doesn’t have much to put back into the most important element, marketing. I’m finally getting it figure out. This blog is insightful. And I’m interested to see what Infusionsoft tools are all about.
