–How AI and ChatGpt Can Help a Business, and How it will not help a Business. –The best way to capture the attention of your website visitors–How can taking a “word first” approach improve your marketing. Bio and Information:Matt Banker is the founder and lead strategist at Benchmark GrowthMarketing, a marketing agency specifically for B2B accounting firms. Matt started designing and building websites at a small agency, and he grew frustrated that there wasn't a better way to create content for a website. It didn't make sense to ask the client to decide what the site should say. After all, they weren't marketing experts. Super smart people often have the most trouble translating their thoughts into words that the rest of us can understand. This tendency carries through to business owners and how they try to market their companies.Matt brings a ‘words first' approach to marketing because his superpower is the ability to help business owners communicate moreclearly. He works with executive teams and marketing teams to build alignment and buy-in so everyone is rowing in the same direction. These days Matt focuses his efforts on serving a narrow niche: accounting firms. With a background in fine arts, he is the Yin to the number-cruncher's Yang. He helps them build marketing engines that work to grow their firms.Contact for Matt Bankerhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mattbanker/https://twitter.com/mattbankerThe Small Business Show is the official podcast for Garuda Promo and Branding Solutions.

–How did Lawrence and Desk Plant start in the promotional product world?–Why did Lawrence decide to focus on being a promotional products supplier?–What is the process to create sustainable and socially responsible promotional products?–Why should we consider higher-value promotional productions?–How not to kill an indoor plantBio and Information:Lawrence Hanley started Desk Plants in 2018 as a consumer brand, which grew substantially throughout 2019, resulting in the opening of a brick-and-mortar store heading into 2020. However, when the pandemic hit and the government imposed lockdowns, the business suffered, and bills continued to pile up. Lawrence was in a difficult situation, and in a do-or-die moment, he decided to pivot the business model completely to save it. This transition led to the creation of a niche promotional products supplier, which allowed the business to not only survive but thrive.Through this experience, Lawrence discovered that he had a talent for finding popular products and rethinking their value proposition to appeal to a new market of buyers. He has since honed this skill and considers it a valuable asset to his business. Lawrence continues to improve upon this skill, and is passionate about finding new ways to grow and develop his business.Contact for Lawrence Hanleywww.instagram.com/desk_plantshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencehanley/https://www.linkedin.com/company/desk-plants/The Small Business Show is the official podcast for Garuda Promo and Branding Solutions.
