    How to link business, sales, and marketing strategy - Daniel Priestley

    Key takeaways Strategic Foundations: Business growth starts with creating demand that exceeds supply, driving scarcity to increase perceived value and profitability. The “Three-Part Year” framework helps businesses focus on: Marketing’s Role in Strategy: Marketing should focus on generating warm leads that the sales team can convert, reinforcing alignment between marketing and sales. The “best brand campaign is ownership” — creating experiences where customers interact with your product is the ultimate branding tool. Overcoming Tensions Between Departments: Collaboration is key: Marketing, sales, and business strategy must work cohesively to scale effectively. Avoid “looking good but going nowhere” by focusing on growth and scaling rather than aesthetics or superficial metrics. Demand Generation vs. Lead Generation: Demand generation is about creating interest and need through trust, insights, and engagement strategies. Lead generation is the result of demand generation — capturing signals of high intent from potential customers. Navigating Mindsets in Business: Understanding the reptilian, autopilot, and visionary brain modes can help individuals stay creative and productive rather than reactive. Awareness and emotional intelligence are crucial for overcoming workplace tensions and building better interdepartmental relationships. Practical Marketing Tactics: Use introduction events, scorecards, and assessments as effective ways to engage and nurture potential customers during the consideration phase. Experimentation is key: Test new ideas on a small scale to gather actionable data before scaling them. Importance of Long-Form Content: Long-form content like podcasts builds trust and transparency, offering unfiltered insights that resonate deeply with audiences. Shorter content should always lead back to the long-form version to maintain authenticity and context. Communicating Ideas Internally with CAPSTONE: Use Daniel Priestley’s CAPSTONE framework to structure pitches: This approach ensures clarity, builds trust, and fosters collaboration, making it easier for stakeholders to buy into ideas. Boredom as a Success Indicator: Scaling success often feels monotonous — repetition and consistency in executing a proven strategy are essential for sustainable growth. Adapting Scarcity Tactics: Even small businesses can introduce scarcity by testing waitlists, exclusive offers, or time-sensitive promotions to create demand.

    How to build the bare minimum marketing strategy - Joe Glover

    Introduction Overview: Joe Glover explains a simplified approach to crafting a marketing strategy. Value: Strategy aligns marketing efforts with business goals, providing clear benchmarks and direction. Align with Business Objectives: Marketing goals should connect directly to company objectives. SMART Goals: Specific, Measurable, Ambitious, Relevant, Time-bound. Example: Replace “get our name out there” with “increase site visits by 50% in six months.” Identify the Core Problem: Mark Ritson’s “diagnosis” starts with understanding what the customer truly needs. Jobs to Be Done: Customers buy products to solve functional, emotional, or social problems. Research: Use customer feedback, social media, and reviews to pinpoint needs and pain points. Go Beyond Demographics: Use psychographics, behaviours, and values to understand your audience. Focus on Viable Segments: Consider Total Addressable Market (TAM), spending power, and reachability. Example Segment: Joe’s target for ABC Limited: “fashion-forward pet owners” who value stylish pet wear. Craft a Positioning Statement: Define your brand’s unique value concisely. Distinctiveness vs. Differentiation: Separate Strategy from Tactics: Start with strategy, not tactics, to avoid scattershot efforts. Use a Funnel-Based Approach: Awareness, Consideration, Purchase, Retention, Advocacy. Examples: Team Involvement: Collaborate with sales, leadership, and other departments for buy-in. Measure & Adjust: Track each tactic with specific metrics to ensure alignment with strategy. Key Steps to a Bare Minimum Marketing Strategy 1. Set Clear, Aligned Goals 2. Solving a Problem 3. Targeting and Segmentation 4. Positioning 5. Tactics
