The top 3 jobs of a business owner… hint, it all revolves around marketing!

If you don’t evolve as a business owner your business will become extinct.

For a business owner, you have 3 clear jobs when it comes to generating income and creating a consistent flow in your business. And not being up to date with social media or knowing how to create digital content is NOT a good excuse anymore.

You need to get the attention of your target audience.
You need to be able to build relationships and create engagement that then converts into trust and rapport, so it converts people into customers with regular transactions.
You need to ensure that you can maintain a product or services that delivers at a high enough level to ensure customers will come back for repeat business, refer to generate new business, and sing your praises on social media to instil more trust in new customers.

We are seeing businesses right now losing market share and being overtaken by more innovative and responsive brands because they aren’t evolving in the social media space and understanding the importance of creating CONTENT. Content that is of interest to your target audience and that ranges from anything from a blog post, to a successful case study, to helpful tips, regular email newsletters, regular video, ebooks, and podcasts. Feed your audience what they want to learn from you and create TRUST.

And… it takes time. It takes a strategy.

“If your business is earning less than $1 million in revenue, and you want to scale and grow, then you should be spending 80% of your time on sales and marketing.”

Are you evolving? Or are you becoming a dinosaur business owner?
