  1. DNA & Client Journey Have a Lot in Common

    DNA & Client Journey Have a Lot in Common

    They love to talk about the sales funnel, don’t they? Here’s what I think: the “funnel” approach to the client journey happened because most salespeople lack a foundation understanding of their brand. Or, more likely, their brand has no foundation in the first place. The companies using the sales funnel analogy will likely revert to saying, "this is the easiest way for our sales team to visualize the process.”  Good for the sales team, I suppose. But if they aren’t the ones going through the process - why do they need to visualize it? Does the customer know when they are, or aren’t, in someone’s sales funnel?  Do you, dear reader, understand when you become a sales-qualified lead?  But what if it wasn’t a funnel? What if your client's journey was something more circular? Something more…infinite?  We’ll be discussing 3 things during this podcast: Where the idea of the client journey startedHow most companies build a client journey for their brandHow understanding DNA (yes, science stuff) can create a more sustainable client cycle. I strongly recommend you start by understanding your brand archetypal mix, and we have a FREE quiz for that. You can join our BAMFam Community dedicated to aligning your brand. We have Free Alignment resources there as well. Finally, if you find yourself in need of guidance with your brand alignment. We have our BAM Academy, and frameworks to help you with that. I would start with The Big BAM Process, this is the brand strategy framework I have led thousands of clients through and we have a self-guided option as well.

  2. Culture Creates Community, Community Creates a Tribe

    Culture Creates Community, Community Creates a Tribe

    When it comes to your brand, culture creates community, and the community then guides the culture. It takes a village to raise a child.  Every member of the village - the community - pitches into mold how every child grows and learns.  Why? Because those children will eventually grow up to be the elders, teachers, mentors, and leaders who help raise the next generation.  No one is selling anything, everyone is involved, and everyone benefits. In a similar light, it takes a community to sustain your brand.  And when the community builds itself around the ideals of your brand, it becomes a tribe.  These aren’t your customers, this isn’t your audience - these are members of your tribe. Tribal members do whatever is necessary to protect the sanctity of what holds them together from one generation or evolution to the next. They help cultivate new members while shielding their ideals and virtues from the negative elements that might limit what they can do.  When done right, your brand’s community will guide you on where they want to go next.  We’ll be discussing 3 things during this podcast:  Practical definitions of community and tribe. All of the ways brands are abusing their sense of community.  How using communities in the way they are designed to be will build your brand. I strongly recommend you start by understanding your brand archetypal mix, and we have a FREE quiz for that. You can join our BAMFam Community dedicated to aligning your brand. We have Free Alignment resources there as well. Finally, if you find yourself in need of guidance with your brand alignment. We have our BAM Academy, and frameworks to help you with that.

  3. Culture, the DNA of Your Brand

    Culture, the DNA of Your Brand

    If you are new to the BAMcast then welcome, but if you have been following the series I’m sure you’re starting to get used to the rhythm and deconstructing process by now.  It’s amazing how many words we use in business and branding that we’ve never actually given much thought to before - they've just become buzzwords that get thrown around to sound knowledgeable without any consideration for what they really mean and whether we’re using them properly. For example, this month, we’re starting to target our thinking around the impact of brand culture - specifically, YOUR brand culture.  Go figure, culture is one of those words we use without really thinking about what it means. We’ll be discussing 3 things during this podcast: What is the definition of culture & what impact does it have on our brand?The ways in which brand culture is misunderstood.How to create an aligned and unique culture that is right for your brand. I strongly recommend you start by understanding your brand archetypal mix, and we have a FREE quiz for that. You can join our BAMFam Community dedicated to aligning your brand. We have Free Alignment resources there as well. Finally, if you find yourself in need of guidance with your brand alignment. We have our BAM Academy, and frameworks to help you with that.
