The frustration was immediate as we were in our regular coaching meeting working through the action items to implement. My question was simple, “is the SEO company you hired providing you with their documented activity and updated results?” The answer was deflating. This well-established and progressive business owner shared, “not only do we not have reports and updates, but he is also degrading and makes us feel like idiots when we ask him questions.” I lightened the mood by asking, “so is that the magic touch to win the favor of clients? If so, I need to commit to be more of a jerk in our coaching time.” The laughter came and went, but the frustration lingered. Unfortunately, the common theme when talking to small business owners about hiring a marketing agency is simply… A lot of money with very few demonstrable results. Why? What's the similarity between a marketer, a business coach (we can self-deprecate a bit:), and a palm reader? The barrier to entry is on the ground; anyone can hang a shingle and become one. I'm not much of an expert on palm readers, but I do know that with any other profession. there are really great practitioners and really bad ones. So how do you find a great marketing agency to work with? A few things to consider. First, NOBODY will know your business or be as passionate about your business as you. You cannot delegate your passion. The majority of the time, we see small business owners abdicate the marketing responsibility to a distant, remote person who has you as one of many clients and does not wake up every day obsessing about how to grow your mission. Marketing agencies, by design, have a book of business... multiple clients. They can only market what they know, and they can only know what you and your market tell them over and over again. Markets change constantly. A marketing initiative that works today will likely be tired and irrelevant in six months. It's akin to a doctor having checkups with patients to monitor and tweak their treatments. Things change, and if you allow your marketing agency to be measured on activity instead of outcomes, then they are prone (not in every case of course) to hit “rinse and repeat”. Second, because your marketing agency needs to see and hear directly from you (or someone in your business) you must commit to a weekly “touchpoint” with your marketing agency. This is a very brief check-in on story, content, activity, and results. It empowers your marketing first to capture the nuance, the client successes, and all of the little bits that happen day to day that in most cases go unnoticed and uncelebrated. I will say this, if your marketing agency balks at this as a condition of working together, RUN. You are hiring them as an employee of sorts (on contract of course) and in many cases paying them what you would invest a significant part-time or even full-time employee. If they are unwilling to have a weekly meeting that actually benefits you and them... move on. Thirdly, clearly write ALL of your expectations down before signing up with any marketing agency. Please don't be offended, but most of the failure of marketing agencies is not the fault of the agency, it is the fault of us as business owners for not communicating clear expectations. Think through, write down, and agree to outcomes first, and then everything else second. The goal of a marketing agency is first and foremost to either grow your revenue and margin or grow your brand awareness (which ties directly back to revenue and margin). Marketers may disagree and say that it is more complex than that. For businesses above fifty (50) employees that may be so, but for businesses like yours with between two (2) and fifty (50) employees, marketing is almost exclusively tied to growing the revenue and margin of the business. Write down your expectations and don't be veiled. It will then be up to the marketing agency to decide if they can perform to the level of expectation you have set. Fourth, don't get sucked in to “number of hours” or “number of posts” per week or month. Marketing is about OUTCOMES, not about the quantity of any one technical strategy. Views, likes, and impressions; we obsess over these because they are quick and give us an immediate snapshot into our public vanity. We know deep down that they are a bit like jolly ranchers... taste sugary but offer no long-term health benefit. Unless you are willing to spend BIG money on paid advertising (and I mean BIG), you are likely to see very little return on direct social media advertising at the scale you can afford. I know I know...someone reading this will be the exception. Let's focus on the general rule. Social platforms (YouTube, Blogs, Podcasts, etc.) are truly valuable assets IF you see them as air support to your ground game. In most businesses, still the number one lead generation strategy is good ole fashioned face to face referrals and follow-up. Your social presence is critical to provide authority and credibility when someone hears of you from one of their friends or contacts. When you get referred, the first place they go to learn about you is online. Don't be fooled, your online presence is very important...but it is not most important. What is your ground game? How do you get in front of potential customers and clients face to face? When you set expectations with your marketing agency, it needs to be around outcomes regardless of strategy. MOST marketing agencies will try to sell you a marketing engagement that is $X per month and includes # of blog posts, # of social media posts, etc. We have over 500 episodes on our My Business On Purpose podcast and we love providing that as a tool... but does it lead to us being able to liberate business owners from chaos? What is the outcome? Not the activity. Finally, know your numbers and set a budget. I have heard it said before that a very conservative marketing spend for your business is 3% of annual revenue, and an aggressive spend is up to 15% of revenue. Do you know how much that would be? And if you spent that on marketing, do you know how much that would have to return in revenue in order for the marketing spend to be worth it? A marketing agency should be able to tell you, if you spend $X with us throughout the year, we will not be doing our job unless it generates $Y in revenue. Outcomes, not activity. Many marketing agencies are brilliant at delivering results. Just make sure that is who you are working with. If not, move on.

How To Determine A Return On Marketing Investment “Ugh.” That was a direct quote from a client when I asked a simple question, “how is your marketing going?” This post is as much an encouragement to marketing support service businesses as it is a call to action for business owners who are frustrated with trying to determine their return on marketing investment. The barrier to entry is about the same for palm readers, business coaches (ahem), and marketing service providers...not very high. Just about anybody can hang a shingle and call themselves a marketing agency. That loose availability does not mean there is no significant value to be found in a well-run service. So how much should you spend as a marketing investment, and for goodness sake, how do you realize a return on your marketing investment? First, let’s discuss how much to invest in the first place. Your planning and delivery of marketing in your business should be as intentional and well thought out as product development, product delivery, accounting, sales, and all other systems of the business. Resources must be spent on marketing (the definition of marketing is not limited to advertising and promotion) with the same intentionality as resources spent on things like employee compensation, product and service delivery, and insurance coverage. In conversation with a marketing agency owner, I asked, “how much should a small business invest into their marketing?” His response was, “it depends.” He went to provide a range that I thought was very helpful. Three percent of gross revenue (total income minus cost of goods sold) would be a low marketing spend, whereas twelve to thirteen percent of gross revenue would be an aggressive marketing spend. The question then becomes, “what do we invest are marketing resources into?” This is an important mind shift in understanding that marketing is not a cross-your-fingers, hope-for-the-best, haphazard shot in the dark. Marketing is a system. Just like the conglomeration of all of the bones in your body combine to form the skeletal system, and that system works in calculation and coordination, so all the conglomeration of promotional elements in your business work to form the marketing system. I like to think of marketing in terms of channels or canals. You have the channel of social media, the channel of your website, the channel of live events, the channel of advertising, or the channel of say a podcast or YouTube. Each channel provides a connection point for you to connect with your potential or actual client or customer. The most overlooked, and yet perennially most effective form of marketing for just about every business on earth is quite old fashioned. Word of mouth. Yes, word of mouth marketing is a channel, and is probably the most trafficked channel your business has. There are three things you can do with your marketing system and the channels that combine to collectively share your mission with a targeted world. First, map out the exact channels that should exist in your marketing system and turn a blind eye to the channels that are distractions. All of your friends may be seeing great success with a certain social media platform. You might even hear a podcaster say, “you’ve got to be on Mashblot (a fictitious social media channel I just made up)!” No, you don’t. You should invest in channels where your target client or customer is paying attention. If they are not looking at Mashblot, may be best to bypass and go to a channel that fits. For some, you may not need to be on social media at all. We coach many contractors who are far better served to set up two lunches per week with vendors, general contractors, Architects, and Developers instead of trying to generate leads on Facebook, YouTube, or the platform du juor. What channels are your clients paying attention to? Map it out. Second, create a process to nurture and educate that channel. You can ask a simple question, “what is the end game?” For your social media...what is the end game? For your in person lunches...what is the end game? For your website...what is the end game? Our coaches spend a significant amount of time face to face with business owners. Over lunch or coffee, our end game is to coach! When a non-client reaches out to us to “learn more”, we try to spend less time talking about the features and benefits of our deliverables, and instead we actually coach them during that time. It allows our client to get a feel for actual coaching and to evaluate their need for transformation. That is our end game, coach well and allow the business owner to experience freedom directly. For us, our website, social media channels, the My Business On Purpose podcast, and Live Events all exist to facilitate an in person or virtual meeting where we can coach in real life and understand the reality of a particular business owner. Once you have your specific and finite channels, each channel must have a process all aimed towards an end game. Thirdly, do the work and track. Marketing is often characterized by a flowing group of artistic free-thinkers, and instead is both art and science. Certainly marketing requires ongoing creativity, that then gets packaged into a system for repetition. Free thinking by design is not repetitious, and yet marketing demands consistency and repetition. Business owners must know that in order to market well you must harness the ideation of free thinking, and then do the work. For example, each one of our coaches writes one article per week between 500 and 800 words...every week. Our coaches are not journalists, they are not career writers, they are business coaches. Yet the repetitious work of marketing requires content, and content requires writing. Writing for our coaches is a time for each to reflect back on the questions and challenges their clients have faced the week prior and to simply answer those challenges. Just like I am doing in this post. Once written we then turn that content into blog posts, LinkedIn articles, a podcast episode, a YouTube episode, and sometimes as a keynote at a live event. All that from one article. When the channels are mapped, the processes are spelled out and the work is being produced, you can then do the important work of tracking your progress. Each week we record metrics on a simple client spreadsheet where we track downloads, visitors, purchases, members, book sales, views, and other metrics that give us a picture of the progress within our marketing system. Marketing has been billed of late more as the Vegas-style luck of inserting one dollar into a machine and getting two dollars out of the machine instead of the blending of art and science, free-thinking and repetition. Marketing is a whole lot more than hoping to hit the jackpot on the simple pull of a lever, and it is worth you doing the work to uncover it.

I don’t believe in life/work balance. When I was a kid, my “work dad” would come home from the bank in his three-piece suit and he’d go upstairs and my “home dad” would come downstairs in jeans, looking for his martini and the download of our day while my mom cooked dinner. Sounds very Leave it to Beaver, doesn’t it? It really was. My dad didn’t have a computer or a cell phone. I can remember the only time the office called him at home – the bank building was on fire. But other than that – there was complete separation of work and home life. We do not have that luxury. At best, we can strive for life/work blend. Our personal lives will seep into the work day and our work will seep into our personal time. But for many agency owners, what that translates to is that you are always on and always working. That’s not only unhealthy for you but it’s unhealthy for your business. You simply can’t grow your agency if you have to do everything that’s mission critical. That’s the conversation I wanted to have with Scott Beebe who is a strategist, teacher, and business coach for My Business On Purpose. He is also the host of the Business on Purpose podcast. Scott is all about about liberating small business owners from the chaos of working in their business and helping them get their lives back by being really clear about what their business is about, what they want to get out of the business, where they have unique opportunities to contribute to the business, and where they need to get out of the way. His background includes direct and B2B sales, designing and implementing organizational strategy, training and development, marketing and fundraising, along with teaching and speaking. What you’ll learn about in this episode: The two biggest non-negotiables for agencies today The value in building out a detailed company vision and reinforcing it regularly in team meetings Understanding what clients you should and should not work with based on your company vision Your mission statement: a portable, 15-word version of your vision story Why you need to have 3-5 core values that are unique to you (hint: not table stables like respect, responsibility, excellence, etc.) Scott’s spreadsheet for figuring out what tasks you can keep as the agency owner and which ones you should delegate How to document processes so everyone is on the same page and can wear multiple hats Using team meetings to stay on top of the week’s work and why you should end every team meeting with training How to delegate to people who may not be your direct reports without throwing your agency into chaos and confusion The four steps to achieving business freedom Reinvesting your time into things that matter once you’ve delegated tasks away and have significant free time Ways to contact Scott Beebe: Website: MyBusinessOnPurpose.com/vision Twitter: @scottbeebe LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/scottebeebe Facebook: www.facebook.com/mybusinessonpurpose We’re proud to announce that Hubspot is now the presenting sponsor of the Build A Better Agency podcast!
