1. Solve your marketing problems.
My job is to fill the gap in your org chart for a Marketing Leader. If you don't have one, marketing is probably an expensive mess. What utility does a marketing leader serve in your growth? For this I will quote the amazing John Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing. "Marketing leadership owns the message. Sales leadership owns the relationships." My job to is turn your message into a steady flow of warm leads for sales to work with. 32 hours per month. 8 hours per week.
2. Be your marketing coach.
Most marketing does not come from a plan. How do I know this? 70% of companies don't even have a plan, according to author, coach and speaker Erik Therwanger, author of the ThinkGREAT series of Leading, Planning and Selling. I can coach you on all aspects of your marketing in small, snack size (affordable) bites. 1 hour sessions.
3. Marketing workshops.
Marketing breaks down into a series of activities you do, like LInkedIn contacting for your sales team, or working for referrals or honing your messaging. I have 4 Marketing workshops you can take to hone your marketing to a finer blade.
My role as your Fractional Marketing Leader.
Add me to your team and you instantly have 30 years of marketing leadership aboard. Rest easy, because all of that marketing complexity is in good hands. I mix in with your team and enhance your marketing so that you have a pipeline with a steady stream of leads for your sales team to build relationships with.
Structure.
I am a guide for your team, and an ally for your leadership. I plug into your sales operations on day one and provide marketing air support for sales. I also plug into your leadership group and bring a savvy marketing lens to your growth plans.
The Fractional Part.
Fractional is defined as taking on a permanent role (Like a Marketing Leader) on a part time basis. I am with your team and your business every week, guiding marketing and sales forward. But because I have the years, the wisdom, the network and the processes down, I simply don't need to be there for 40 hours per week to make your marketing hum.
In the old days, (Like 4 years ago) the full-time version of a John Arms would cost you $350,000 plus benefits. As your Fractional Leader you pay less than 1/3rd of the cost of full-time. Run don't walk to your CFO and tell them the good news!
The way our society works now has forever changed since the pandemic. Fractionals like me are the answer to obtain tremendously high value at delightfully low costs. We fit with the new recipe of work that employers like you are finding to be your new reality: remote, flexible, focused, specialists, leaders, cost-effective, trustworthy, hyper-productive, responsible, accountable, straight up with you and no micro-managing required.
Meet Heisenberg.
AI has entered the Fractional Marketing arena. And it is awesome. I have an AI tool (affectionately called Heisenberg) who helps me form your marketing plan, strategy and execution. Think of it as me and 100 of my closest marketing buddies working on your marketing and sales. Those "buddies" are the top leaders in marketing methods, models, plan, practices and standards culled from academia and the business sector over the last 50 years. I can talk to them any time I need to, on your behalf.
If the fit is hitting the shan at least once per day, let's fix that.
There is a place your business wants to be. It's where your people are happy and unified. It's where you are making good money. It's where your team supports each other. It's a place where you don't have to demand accountability because your people are accountable on their own. If you not there, we can get there in a two day workshop, led by Erik Therwanger.
I use LinkedIn for my own businesses, as well as for my clients. Learn how to use LinkedIn to keep an active pipeline and build a steady stream of new client relationships. 2hour workshop. Walk away with leads in hand! Once you purchase your workshop I will reach out and schedule our session with your sales team.
