There are three reasons why your small business might be struggling. 

  • Most of your potential customers don’t know you exist
  • The few customers who do know you exist can’t see how you’re any different from your rivals
  • When potential customers contact you, you struggle to overcome their objections

Marketing can help you with all three problems:

  • The more marketing you do, the more customers will know you exist
  • If you make your marketing helpful, you’ll differentiate yourself from the vast majority of your rivals, who publish self-centred marketing
  • When customers respond to your helpful marketing, they will be less likely to have objections, because helpful marketing creates trust

Marketing won’t magically eliminate all your problems. But it will help you reduce three of your biggest problems.
