Send us a textWe can get distracted by all the activities and actions associated with marketing. Still, when it comes down to it, there are only 3 things that marketing can do to attract customers. On this episode of Maven Monday, Brandon and Caleb will help you shed all of the complexity and asses what result you can really expect from your marketing.Are you trying to bring people to your category? You'll need to convince them to buy what you're selling and then you need to convince them to buy it from you.Should you convince them to buy from you instead of a competitor? Getting a bigger piece of the market is usually the biggest focus of your marketing.Or can you make them come back and do repeat business? Your previous customers can help you increase profitability, get higher close rates, and help you grow your customer base. This is one of the most overlooked options in marketing.You could be sitting on a gold mine!FREE MARKETING AUDIT: MavenMarketingAudit.comOur Website: https://frankandmaven.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frankandmavenmarketing/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@frankandmavenTwitter: https://twitter.com/frankandmavenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/frank-and-maven/Host: Brandon WelchCo-Host: Caleb AgeeExecutive Producer: Carter BreauxAudio/Video Producer: Nate the Camera GuyDo you have a marketing problem you'd like us to help solve?

Send us a textYou're busy.As a small business marketer, you've got so many hats stacked on your head that you've gotta duck every time you walk through a doorway. Get this approved. Design that. Put out a fire over there.Today, Caleb & Kyle are going to help you breathe just a bit easier! On this episode of Maven Monday, we're going to share three practices that will make you a more productive marketer. These are the same practices the team at Frank & Maven uses to help manage dozens of clients across the country and grow them year after year.We'll start by Time Blocking. Instead of having a task list, you're going to structure your day around a constant that no one can avoid: time. This will help you be realistic about what you can accomplish daily. You'll tell your time where to go instead of wondering where it went.Then, we'll discuss the four-minute feedback meeting. Yes, you heard that right. FOUR. MINUTES. If you gather everyone in one room, show them what you've got, and hear their live thoughts, you'll get what you need quickly and save them the headache of another hour-long meeting.Finally, you're going to start using a second brain. No, science hasn't progressed this far, but technology certainly has. Get the little details, notes, and tasks out of your brain and into a tool that helps to organize everything. Whether you realize it or not, you'll feel more freedom to actually be creative and do better problem-solving.FREE MARKETING AUDIT: MavenMarketingAudit.comOur Website: https://frankandmaven.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frankandmavenmarketing/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@frankandmavenTwitter: https://twitter.com/frankandmavenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/frank-and-maven/Host: Brandon WelchCo-Host: Caleb AgeeExecutive Producer: Carter BreauxAudio/Video Producer: Nate the Camera GuyDo you have a marketing problem you'd like us to help solve?

Send us a textYour mind is your ultimate source of freedom, so long as you don't let someone else control it.Your body is your most powerful of all tools, so long as you don't neglect and poison it. Your words are the most effective of all weapons, so long as you use them wisely. I'll bet that you've already decided what you will do next Tuesday, no matter what.But have you decided what you will do Wednesday, no matter what?I know you already know this, but I'm wondering if you'd enjoy a friendly reminder:1. You have more control over your future than any politician ever will. 2. You have access an internal peace greater than any government could ever provide. 3. And you have an extremely powerful ability to improve the mood of those around you, if you just try.You have the power, my friend. Rest your thoughts.Go on a walk.Say something nice as often as you can. And on Wednesday… may we all get back to doing good work in the greatest country in the world.

Send us a textRandom acts of marketing are rampant in small business advertising! An effective campaign informs every message your brand shares, it adds to the experience bucket in your customer's mind, and, if it's made well, it makes people excited to see what comes next.Two of the biggest wasters of marketing dollars are:Not having a business objective-driven STRATEGYStarting fresh with a random “ad” instead of adding to a strong CAMPAIGNHave a bit of fun with Caleb & Kyle this week as they take a look at some national TV ad campaigns that you've probably seen.

Send us a Text Message.You swing into your favorite coffee shop on your way to work. The young kid at the counter is beaming with enthusiasm, working the espresso machine with one hand and smoothie blender with the other. He never loses eye contact with the next person in line and never misses a greeting to the ones walking in the door. Impressive. “We need more of this in America,” you think to yourself. You step up to the counter, and he remembers your name;“How are you doing this morning, Mr. Welch?”And your order!“Americano with an extra shot, two inches of room?”Bingo. This kid is on fire. “That'll be $3.42,” he says. You tap to pay, and the tip screen pops up. $1, $2, $3, or “other?”Feeling inspired by his contagious energy, you click “other” and unleash a 300% gratuity. It's your personal way of getting his attention, giving him a high five, and telling him to keep up the hard work. Except he NEVER gets the message. Because technology sucks.The tip screen disappears, and the money hops from your debit card into the cafe payroll account to be evenly divided among all the other average people working that day. He'll never see or feel that high five. He'll never know you are cheering him on. And everyone involved missed a huge opportunity for joy. We've long forgotten the difference between tipping and gratuity. Gratuity, as its name suggests, is an expression of gratitude. It breeds kindness, appreciation, and entrepreneurial spirit. Tipping, on the other hand, has become nothing more than a transaction. It breeds entitlement, indifference, and apathy. Does that bother you as much as it does me?Do you want to do something about it?Carry cash, my friend.Leave a crisp twenty behind to let that high schooler know that her dreams matter. Tell the old man at the car wash to keep the change and do something fun with his grandkids. Find the single mom working the gas station counter, look her in the eyes, tell her she's doing a great job as you hand her a Benjamin Franklin. The size of the bill doesn't matter. But returning the lost gesture of gratitude to someone stuck in a thankless world can quite literally change their life.Stop tipping.Start giving gratuity.Do it in a way they will feel and know that they are important. Opportunities are everywhere.Will you take them?Cheers,BWDo you have a marketing problem you'd like us to help solve?

Send us a Text Message.5 years ago today a fresh-faced, starry-eyed, newbie walked through the doors of Frank & Maven. I brought with me a win-em'-over attitude and a dream to step out swinging. Almost immediately, I found myself sitting face-to-face with business leaders with years of experience who knew their industry like the back of their hands. They were now looking to me for answers and I was desperately trying to keep up.Fast forward to today, and I can confidently say I'm a battle-hardened professional. I've gained well-won wisdom that has shaped my approach to business and life. I've distilled my half decade of experience into 5 crucial lessons. These insights, forged through trials and triumphs, have become a playbook for how to show up in the world.Lesson 1: Trust Isn't Built in a DayThe journey to prove my worth taught me that winning trust is a marathon, not a sprint.It took showing up every day, putting in countless hours, and proving I cared through consistent effort. It took over-communicating, over-preparing, and over-delivering.Trust is earned through unwavering effort, never shutting down even when you're turned down, and proving that your word is good. In the end, that trust will be built on a foundation of respect and tenacity.Lesson 2: Master the Art of Relentless ResearchEvery minute spent researching my clients, their histories, competitors, and industries paid off when I could contribute meaningfully to discussions and decisions. As my mentor Dr. Rice says, “When you're competent, you're confident.” In other words, your efforts will be rewarded when people call on you to contribute in a meaningful way to discussions and, better yet, decisions. Lesson 3: Discipline Is Not a Rigid Routine but a Flexible ResilienceTrue discipline is not about being perfect, but about being persistent.Rigid routines will be shattered by unforeseen circumstances, but a flexible resilience allows you to show up with consistency.When you get knocked off track, reevaluate, recalibrate, and recommit. Lesson 4: Listen Morre Than You SpeakIt's all about understanding before being understood.Being more impactful than opinionated.Ask questions. Then ask more. Look for the patterns, pain points, and potentials. When you have a full picture painted, your words will mean more. Lesson 5: Keep Short AccountsMistakes are inevitable, but how you handle them matters most.Stay sincere.Don't get defensive.Resolve to do better next time.Your people won't abandon you when you mess up. In the right spirit, it only reminds them that you're human. —I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to those of you who have allowed me the opportunity to learn these lessons. Your trust, feedback, and partnership have provided the real-world experiences that make these practices invaluable in my life.Whether you're just getting started or have years of experience under your belt, I hope you find these points as universal and timeless as I have. Here's to the last 5 years and cheers to the next 5 to come. LeslieDo you have a marketing problem you'd like us to help solve?

Do you want your company to grow faster?Do you wish your team was more productive?Would you like a better ROI on your marketing?There is nothing that affects these outcomes more than the strength of your vision.When vision is weak, you attract customers and employees by accident, and your company is reduced to going through the motions. Lackluster profitability, underperforming workers, and apathetic customers are inevitable. But when your vision is strong, the perfect people show up as if the thing you are doing was made for them (and it was). Loyal customers, die-hard team members, and a world-famous reputation is sure to follow.Best of all, you change lives and achieve big dreams in the process. Today, we are tackling the topic of vision with a practical formula you can use to refine the impact you wish to make and communicate it in a way that everyone will understand. And rest assured, this is not just another exercise to create a fancy bag of words that nobody remembers. If you follow the steps we cover today, you will see a change in every corner of your company. It's up to you to finish the year strong. There's no better way to start than clicking that big beautiful play button.
