You’re Thinking About Marketing All Wrong

Alex says most marketing failures come from mismatched expectations, like assuming a few posts a week will grow a business, plus overcomplicating strategy. He uses the midwit meme to argue the simple answer is the right one: tell people what you have and make sure it's clearly for them.

It's like you just have a wildly mismatched expectation against reality. And then and then there's a whole another group of people who you have to be specific. You have to be clear. And a lot of sometimes this happens in a little bit of more marketing centric entrepreneurs. They think there's so much magic in it. And I feel like some of you guys might have seen this before, but one of my favorite memes of all time, which looks like this, and you've kind of got like uh you know, like an idiot over here.

I would say nine times out of 10 when we look at a portfolio sales script, if it's underperforming, we remove stuff. We cut stuff. We just make it shorter. And believe it or not, when you make it shorter, you can be very clear about what point we're trying to actually make. And if you don't know what the point of the sales script is, that's the problem. And if you don't know the point of the ad, that's also the …
