During this interview we got personal and talked about how Ann got started in writing, how she connects with her audience and what she does to slow down.

I have an emotional connection with Ann's book 'Everybody Writes.' We talked about my mom, her struggle with cancer and how the words of a professor telling her that she couldn't write deeply affected her and they became the deciding factor on her dropping out of college.

Ann shares how this professor was dead wrong, and that everyone CAN write and she covered some of the basics that you can work on to become a better writer.

On this show we also cover what Ann is most passionate about in marketing, what marketing trends she would kill, what she would do if she had to start over from absolute scratch, and how slowing down and being strategic with your content is going to be key for business success.

For me this guest was Brittlestar (aka Stewart Reynolds).

I had a FANTASTIC time just hanging out with him and getting to know his story.

(seriously I HAD SO MUCH FUN on this one!)

His story is simply amazing because it is quite literally the journey of his entire family - going from just a regular family to becoming internet celebrities.

Hundreds of thousands of people watch Brittlestar’s comedic and family-friendly videos each week. They have been viewed well over 500 MILLION times between all of his social media channels.

I remember seeing one of his first videos on Vine and he walks our listeners through the heartache his family went through when that platform just SHUT DOWN and they lost 1.2 million followers that just disappeared.

Brittlestar shares his best advice to people who are getting started on social media, how to find your authentic voice and he encourages you to go all in and just go for it.

He shares tips on how to monetize a social audience and how to build your brand across multiple platforms (something he has truly mastered)

Stuart has created the event Social Media North - which is an event built for social media creators, influencers and businesses. His goal is to galvanize a community of creators and fans and create an event where you can come learn from the pros and meet your heroes.

But Sarah Noel Block shows how you can be incredibly effective as a team of one!

I was so glad that I had discovered Sarah and her content! She is super passionate about helping small teams and providing them the resources that they need to be excellent at their jobs!

Sarah has a lot of experience going solo in marketing. She once a 1-person marketing team for 5 companies all at the same time. To say her time was stretched thin would be an understatement.

But - event stretched thin - Sarah prevailed.

She’s turned that experience into excellent learning moments for hundreds of other marketers.

Sarah gives SOLID SOLID SOLID advice on this episode!

She covers how important niching down your message is, ESPECIALLY if you are a small business.

“Each audience and each message and each purpose behind the message needs the right strategy - and finding that strategy is my passion” - Sarah Noel Block


On this show we cover the common pitfalls of being a 1 person department and what ends up derailing most!

We also cover tips on HOW to focus on what matters the most! And, how to even determine what that is if you are overwhelmed and at a loss!

Sarah uses an array of tools to help streamline her process and she outlines what her ideal tech stack might look like (and why it may be unique for each business she works with)

She also covers what you should do if you are a small company with a super limited budget on marketing.

On this episode of TAG! We talk with Corey Patrick of the Youngstown Business Incubator.

Corey talks about how when your business is at your “lows” it’s their job to keep you going forward and keep pushing you because when you push through that’s when you hit that next breakthrough.

The Youngstown Business incubator is definitely a unique incubator. They focus on growing businesses not just in Youngstown Ohio but all over the world.

They offer help to any entrepreneur - no matter where they are located. In fact one of their mottos is “You can have an effective and successful start up company anywhere in the world - no one cares where it’s located.”

Some of their clients include tech/software companies, 3D Printing Companies, Consumer Packaged Goods, Lifestyle Businesses as well as businesses founded by minorities and women.

They are INCREDIBLY good at helping entrepreneurs grow by providing them resources, helping them with funding and getting them connected to the right people and businesses that will help them flourish.

Corey shares about some of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face. For most it’s funding. Corey says it has gotten better over the years for sure due to different opportunities for funding that are out there now, but there is always a demand for more.

He also shares that most businesses fail because they are not willing to pivot or they are not coachable, or perhaps they lose interest over time because the business isn’t paying the bills or they are frustrated because they didn’t become an overnight success.

On this show Corey offers advice and tips on how a new business can bring themselves to market more effectively. He also walks through how to do proper roadmapping and market research for your business as well. He also shares about how important a brand is and how a brand can make or kill a startup sometimes.

If you are an entrepreneur and you are trying to grow your business - You DEFINITELY want to work with Corey and the YBI.

This affects your pricing strategy, what features and benefits you’re offering and your go to marketing strategy.

The competitive analysis isn’t just to check a box. It is to affect your future plan, and it affects the speed of your innovation. If you have a fast competitor you better be faster.

Jeff shares how to properly roadmap your company to success by knowing your competition, your strengths, your weaknesses and he walks through how to aligning your segmentation, targeting and positioning for your business.

Metisentry is knows as “The SaaS Factory” and they have helped dozens of SaaS companies find success.

Jeff outlines that one of the biggest challenges in marketing a tech company is just understanding where you are best able to serve. Targeting and segmentation are crucial in your marketing efforts.

“When problem solving for a client, do it with their end in mind instead of your own, If we aren’t a fit, we aren’t saving anybody any time or creating any value, its important to be honest with yourself and say Here’s where we fit and here’s where we don’t”.

Be able to say NO to businesses because you may not be their best solution, but when you are, it won’t be overselling yourself and it will be a natural fit.

Dale seeks to shape the future of sales, to bring empathy, compassion, and integrity back to the forefront. He encourages salespeople to adopt the principles of servant leadership and to build their community, brick by brick.

You can tell during this conversation that Dale truly cares about everyone he talks to and it’s NOT just about the pitch. He shares how having true empathy can actually radically transform the success of your sales, but more importantly the success of the legacy that you are leaving behind.

On this podcast, we interviewed Kristina Jaramillo and Eric Gruber of Personal ABM. 

They share their story of how they shifted away from a content management agency into an AMB agency by creating their company ‘Personal ABM’.

They share how they moved from “One-To-Many” marketing to a much more personalized form of marketing because while One-To-Many might drive awareness, it’s too impersonal to move hearts and minds.

Kristina and Eric both work with supply chain & tech marketers to add a personal account layer that enables them to influence revenue with new business & account expansion. 

By shifting profiles, content, and messaging for specific accounts and conversations related to account-specific gaps and impacts, they have helped their clients have reversed “no” positions.

They have created a turnaround for accounts like P&G that were provided notice that their commitment with a distributor would most likely end and that the business would most likely go to a national competitor.

They have also created $2M sales cycles for a client with accounts that were unresponsive for 5+ years.

This episode is 🔥. Pure 🔥. I highly recommend. Adam Brown is the founder of Sircle Media in NYC and they are definitely on the cutting edge of social media marketing.

Sircle is an amazing agency and they fantastic work for their clients. Their social channel is proof of this. As an agency they have decided to focus more on marketing their clients than marketing themselves.

They put their clients and their corporate culture ahead of any kind of shameless plugs (that most other agencies make). And because of this successful strategy, they have clients who have been with them for a LONG time and they have cultivated very happy customers.

At Sircle they believe in a 3 pillar approach to social media management.

Content
Engagement
Growth

Adam walks through tactics and suggestions for each of these three pillars and explains how your brand can leverage them to their maximum potential.

He also explains that business strategy should always drive social strategy- not the other way around.

Whatever the business objectives are - you layer in social on top of it, when you do that, and you continue to do that consistently, thats when you have success.

He lets us know what brands usually get wrong with social media -
They underinvest financially and emotionally in social media, most companies look at it as a nice-to-have or a luxury rather than a must-have.

Most brands shrink back on social when times get tight. When times are tough it’s not the time to let off the gas.

Most brands are also very siloed, they are either all content (art, video, photos post) or all engagement or all metrics (ROI’s), and not always a good balance of all 3.

Adam wishes more people/brands knew that in social media, followers are NOT the metric you should be looking at. Instead Look at cost per thousand REACHED *not cost per thousand impressions*.

He also advises to measure your engagement because it is the gold 💰 in the hills of social media - most brands don’t work this like they should. A lot of brands leave “money on the table” when they don’t invest time into engagement.

Most people in sales make a mistake by only handling challenges when they pop up...which actually causes you to be reactive and always back-peddling. In reality, if you are doing enough discovery during the sales process, you will learn how to avoid the most common pitfalls other salespeople make.

On this episode, David shares 7 skills that will help you become an expert in modern sales.

He will help you find ways to build empathy with your leads while creating trust and managing complexity.

He shares how the most successful salespeople actually focus on helping to make the sales process less painful.

Dennis has had a great career in both marketing and sales and we ask him how both have changed over the last decade.

He says that one of the biggest changes in sales is the inflation of base salaries for sales teams. Part of the reason for this is sales cycles just take longer now and there is a much larger emphasis on the knowledge sharing & information requirements that a sales person needs to have about their product.

We are also seeing a lot of churn in sales teams the expectation for closing sales is now so high (due to inflated salaries) and reaching your targets/quotas is almost unattainable in most companies.

His solution: Don’t sell S@&! to people that they don’t need.

He advises to never put your need for making a sale above what the customers need are. It’s a losing strategy.

Dennis believe’s companies should consider incentivizing by teams, meaning both sales and marketing teams reap reward if goal thresholds are met.

He also believes the negative perception of sales people has largely been a self-inflicted wound. Most sales people don’t put the customers needs first, they put their own need of having to make a sale first ahead of the customer.
