Marketing with Purpose MayeCreate Design

The latest episode of Marketing with Purpose, features none other than Chris West, President of West Contracting. ️
Chris and his team spent the past year in a cycle of change, reevaluating their internal structure, figuring out what works and what doesn't, and charting their course for the future. 
As part of their marketing team, it's been awesome to be a part of the journey!
Today we’ll dig into:

How they are continuing to strengthen company culture through recent changes but keeping what works, including their employees, who have an average tenure of over 10 years!
What it's like working in a family business (Chris is the 3rd generation to manage West Contracting) and how they transitioned from each generation to keep the company strong.
Tap into Chris's never-give-up attitude. Even if you're a steadfast procrastinator like him, he's got some wisdom to share on how to still get things done and find success.

We've been lucky enough to get to work with Chris for many years now and are proud to share his story through the West Contracting marketing. Now, we're excited to get to share it with you in this episode!

Not go nuts
Get your work done 
AND stay married

The communication patterns that allow them to harmoniously work and live in the same space
Challenges to expect when working from home with your spouse and how they overcame them

When MayeCreate opened the new Camdenton office, Stacy and Monica needed a spot to meet up in between. They lucked into a relatively new co-working space, Jefferson and High that rekindled Monica’s belief that customer service is your number one marketing tool as a small business.
So Monica invited owner, Chris Galloway, to give us a rundown of the seamless tech integrations, onboarding process and snacks that keep his customers coming back time and time again.
If you’re craving customer service inspiration, there’s a thing or two to learn about this growing co-working space. (Warning…this episode may result in a craving for Cheetos .)

How are you at saying, “No”?
Monica always says, "it took birthing two kids and attempting to run a business at the same time" for her to get her head on straight and master her ‘no’ game. 
See, ‘yes’ can be a dangerous game for a busy human. Each yes has to align with your priorities.
‘Yes’ is about putting your energy where it matters most.
‘No’ is about protecting that energy for the next opportunity to say ‘yes’.
So really…No is it’s buddy Yes’s superhero! 
In this episode, Stacy, a self-proclaimed yes-gal, and Monica turn the tables on the guilt of ‘no’. Talking through their internal dialogue, and how they reason their way to the answer that uses their energy where it counts. Giving tips on:

The consequences of yes
The art of saying no nicely
Strategies for feeling OK about saying no
Dealing with negative feedback from your decision to say no

Over the past 18 years change is the one of the only things that has remained constant as in our business.
And some people love it…other people…not so much. 
That’s why we talk about it so much on the Marketing with Purpose podcast. Because to make marketing and business decisions with purpose we have to be able to embrace the idea that things WILL change and then figure out WHAT the heck needs to change and make a plan to pull it all together.
In our latest episode, Monica sat down with Paden Squires, CPA & CFP at WR Tax Planners, who while helping our company evolve…has changed his company just as much.
They covered everything from:

Paden quitting a cushy job to do taxes in his living room. 
How Paden’s the only tax accountant we know who wears a hoodie in his website photos.
The importance of self-awareness in business.
Struggles with delegation and perfectionism.
And our favorite…transitioning from the warrior to king stages of success.
