This week's guest is our own Virtual CMO, Georgi Willison from Marwhal https://www.marwhal.co.uk/

Want to know the true secret to growing a business? Psst, it's the customers. This week's episode will make your company start caring about its customers. Today's guest is Mark Donnigan, Virtual CMO at Growth Stage Marketing. Listen in as Mark joins host, Casey Cheshire, and shares his hack on building a better relationship with your customers through excellent business strategy.     Busted Myths:  Companies can have a great strategy and never lose customers. Takeaways: Learn your competitor's tools, then learn their process, and then implement it. It is all about driving more usage and purchase of their solution. It is not actually about selling our products. Just because you hire someone who is good on paper does not mean that they are going to be great. Actions speak louder than words. Get on sales calls and go to sales calls. This will help you learn about your customers and about other businesses.  No matter what you have going on with your business. The customers most likely will not care. They only care about what they will get out of it. They only care if it has anything to do with them.  Marketing podcasts are a great way to get real-time marketing information. Marketing books are typically made within the year while podcasts are made almost every week. Diversity of thought is required because without it, we would fail. We would not execute meetings well it will lead to no business impact. It's more important to get any information to your customers. Make it readily available, and make it easily accessible for your customer.     Quote of the Show: “The customer does not care about us. They only care about them.” (11:28) Book Recommendations: Play Bigger by Al Ramadan, Dave Peterson, Christopher Lochhead, and Kevin Maney     Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdonnigan/ Website: https://growthstage.marketing/ Podcast: https://www.owltail.com/people/ORNFP-mark-donnigan/appearances  Company Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWivu309kk1u1P9jrcv3jLA Ways to Tune In: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show/id1338838763 Amazon Music/Audible: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/37228621-2f9c-4905-a223-1844effb49dd Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/1vVLpNI1LssMTiL6Kdsamn Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-hard-corps-marketing-show Google Podcasts: https://play.google.com/music/m/Im7mytmu2wa2mekhoeixlja5hpe?t=The_Hard_Corps_Marketing_Show YouTube: https://youtu.be/5MrbOivXAz8

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to virtual CMO and author, Edwin Dearborn. Edwin shares that he helps companies, who are doing well but don't have a CMO on board, who want to become more growth-driven. In other words, he's the perfect fit for a company that doesn't want to hire a full time CMO but needs that guidance to get to the next level. Edwin also helps to advise on content creation. A lot of the companies he has worked with have great content ideas but haven't executed on any of them; Edwin helps with actually pulling the trigger on the content creation process.Josh and Edwin also explore how to approach solving marketing problems in business. Edwin explains that many businesses only see their most immediate or direct problem and not any other issues that negatively impact the business. More often than not, your issues aren't just chalked up to one problem, but rather several that influence one another. Edwin helps his clients take off their blinders and untangle the web of problems, then he helps create a blueprint that will help those businesses overcome those challenges and get to the next level of growth. Edwin and Josh agree that a confused mind does nothing. If your marketing and messaging isn't clear or doesn't resonate with your target audience, your prospects simply aren't going to buy. If you're having leadgen issues, you need to reframe your messaging to actually hit home with your demographic. Do market research to find out how your marketing is actually being perceived and use that feedback to change your ad strategy. Another important point to consider is keeping up with trends and changes. A CEO that runs all of their own marketing isn't going to have the bandwidth to continue being their own marketing expert. This is the beauty of hiring a virtual CMO – you can outsource your needs to the experts without necessarily creating a whole new role within your company's framework. Don't wait until the last moment to outsource this type of work to a virtual CMO or marketing expert; start working on this early to stay on top of marketing trends and to build your processes effectively from the get go. A good CMO can drive revenue beyond what you might think is possible and this can all be done fractionally and virtually. Edwin shares that he works with ambitious businesses that want to scale. His clients have big dreams and want to create massive amounts of presence in their space. Want to learn more?
