How does one become a prolific content creator in the e-space? On top of that, what is the purpose and the impact of an Elevated Resource Planning (ERP) firm? This week, we're changing pace as we speak to an expert outside of the marketing realm — but one whose efforts are crucial to the success of marketers in the digital space. Sam Gupta, the Principal Consultant at ElevatIQ, joins us to talk about his experience in the technical professional services space, the impact of building professional & personal relationships, and how his experiences have impacted his decisions as a content creator.Let's get started!MINDSETS: Valuing Your Journey - Sam's career path took some unique turns and, like anyone in the industry, success may not necessarily be replicable. Your journey isn't always going to line up with the companies you aspire to, and that's OKAY. Find what makes YOU unique. Trust (and lots of it)- A critical component of dealmaking is recognizing who you're making deals with, and if they belong in your professional space. Working hard and committing yourself to gaining credibility will go a long way in your career efforts. The Effort Threshold (a.k.a the “Path of Least Resistance”) - When starting from the bottom, consider the tasks you can accomplish with the least amount of effort and investment with the most beneficial impact. A blog-writing strategy, for example, added credibility to Sam's work, but it wasn't a task that came naturally (at least at first). Relationship-Building - While success may not be replicable, it can be discussed! Reaching out to connections you aspire to be like (In Sam's case, high-profile LinkedIn Influencers) and building those relationships both expands knowledge and establishes a support system. Acknowledging Past Results - As a service provider, keeping track of good & bad results (with clients or content) sets the stage for future success, and strengthens the learning curve. Symbiotic Relationships - From a zoomed-out perspective, sales and marketing are both sources of content, and when joined together can create an ongoing cycle of content ideation and development.  Content Volume - Where is your content most optimal, and how frequently is it consumed? Being aware of the venues for your content plays a large role in your content's success; frequent podcast episodes may be more beneficial than frequent YouTube videos, or vice versa. SKILLSETS: Do Your Research - Set yourself up for success in any content-focused relationship by understanding a potential partner's background prior to meeting. As Sam puts it, “I need to do enough research so I am able to talk with people, I am able to talk their language, and I am able to meet them comfortably when they are working with me.” Delegation - Finding collaborators who are able to “be their own boss” ensures a trusted partnership that allows them to take the lead on certain tasks so you can step in and provide input only when necessary.  Defining the Target Market - Getting ahead of content production and recognizing who content is for to begin with sets the foundation for more relevant work to be done (and for it to reach the right people!). Keywords, Keywords, Keywords - Are you using the words that people are searching? Connecting your content to rankable search items plays a role in content visibility and how it resonates with any given audience. Multi-Channel Strategies - When you're making a piece of content, it shouldn't always stop at a specific channel; for example, TikTok posts could (and should) find their way to YouTube Shorts. What gets 20 views on one channel may go viral on another. ALWAYS track performance, and the channels your competitors may be using to get a competitive advantage. TOOLSETS: Google  TikTok YouTube LinkedIn Canva (Graphic Design) Adobe Creative Suite Slack CRM Software RESULTS:From the start, Sam sought out opportunities to deliver content to an ideal audience. However, success doesn't happen overnight. Putting out content and tweaking based on results was key to his success, as it allowed him to seek out and address any content pitfalls. Sam went from 0 inbound traffic to inbound being the “bread and butter” for his content, and that didn't come without thoughtful testing and tweaking of his output. This has led to more qualified inbound leads for Sam's business, and ultimately a much more connected audience.A bit more about Sam:Sam Gupta began his career as an expert in B2B sales, and is currently the Principal Consultant of ElevatIQ, an independent Elevated Resource Planning and Digital Transformation Consulting firm. Using a Vendor-Agnostic approach, ElevatIQ works tirelessly to define enterprise architecture using ERP, eCommerce, and other technological resources.

Tools are not capable of comprehending the processes, even the really good ones.    Can ERP solve supply chain problems?  COVID-19 related supply chain issues are being seen worldwide, especially in companies that are still utilizing manual processes.  There is a clear divide in the market between companies who do and don't understand that ERP can fix their problems. ERP can reduce the time spent tracking parts, solving supply chain issues, and minimize admin duty time. Disruptions can be reduced with more effective modeling.    The intersection of e-commerce and ERP Your business model most likely determines which came first.  Diversification is the key to protecting yourself against unexpected changes in the e-commerce business.  Improved operational efficiency is going to increase your overall competitiveness.  How can you decide whether to focus on e-commerce or ERP first?   Navigating surprises in today's manufacturing community Increased creativity can be both a benefit and a detriment to companies today.  Standardized processes are of greater value to a company than creative processes.  More effective management comes by standardizing and simplifying systems.

Sam is a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. So welcome to the show, Sam. Thank you so much for having me, Steve. I am super excited to be here. Yeah, I'm pumped also. I'm very curious about all these acronyms and stuff. So let's start with your entrepreneurial journey, which is not that long because you're still quite young. How did this becoming entrepreneur and building ElevatIQ come about? I mean, one thing that I would like to mention is in our family, we don't necessarily age. So if you look at my father, we look fairly alike right now, even though he is 84. So you can imagine that we don't really age. Now, you know, my journey, I grew up in a very manufacturing distribution centric family. So business actually runs in my blood. Okay, I then I, after working for my family for roughly eight to 10 years, starting at the age of five-ish, six-ish, and then I went for engineering. Okay, so spent roughly four years. I never wanted to be an engineer as such, but I always wanted to go into business. So then I started doing a lot of Fortune 500 consulting, did some side gigs, but they were never came to fruition when it comes to creating a real business. And I was always into creating a real business that can pay my family, that can pay for my employees. And if I don't have that serious business, that doesn't really excite me. So that's why I spent a lot of time learning a lot more about the enterprise technology, enterprise software space. So did a lot of consulting in the Fortune 500 world for roughly 10, 12 years. And then started exploring a little bit more of the entrepreneurship world. So last eight to 10 years have been really in the startup space. Initially, I would say four to five years. I spent a lot of time working on a lot of startups that didn't necessarily go anywhere. And the reason for that is because I was changing some of the ideas. I was not necessarily expert at from the sales perspective, from the business perspective, from marketing perspective, failed miserably and then finally decided, you know, was what my core really is in the manufacturing distribution ERP business systems. That's why I started focusing on elevate IQ a little bit more. Last five years we have just focused on this. The focus is really on the SMB space in the business system procurement implementation. If anybody needs any sort of help with their business architecture, enterprise architecture, we maintain multi-system capabilities. Our goal is to help manufacturers, retailers, any sort of product companies that might require our help. Okay, all right. So we're diving into this in a minute, but before we go there, I'd like to ask you, because this is the theme of our podcast is management blueprints, business frameworks that people use to build their businesses. So have you used any such framework, or if not, examples could be the E-Myth, EOS, Scaling Up, Great Game of Business, Four Disciplines of Execution, or are there business books that were really instrumental in helping your thinking evolve on how to build a business. So I am going to say and I don't know if this book is really a management blueprint book but the way the book is structured it has had a lot of impact on my life. The way I think about creating the management blueprint, again, not the standard management blueprint book,
