5 Things Small Businesses Get WRONG With Their Marketing


As a Small Business Owner, it's tough to stay on top of everything you need to do. When it comes to marketing, some entrepreneurs do what feels natural and it ends up as a waste of time with few results.

In this talk, Pat goes over the 5 things Small Business Owners get wrong with their Marketing: product selection, positioning, audience targeting, how they talk about the product and messaging. 

Be comfortable getting uncomfortable as you reconsider some of your marketing choices to help focus your business and increase your sales.

The presentation is simple and straightforward with 5 key takeaways:

  • Select the product line you LOVE and feel called to provide

  • Don't be afraid to differentiate and stand out with your positioning

  • Be courageous in selecting your audience - you're not for everyone

  • Market your product's benefits, not your features

  • Make sure your messaging is solely targeted at your ideal customer, you cannot be "all things to all people"

The talk is upbeat, fun and it flies by inside 15 minutes. In a good room, there is time for questions.
