    Scaling From Local Direct Mailing Business -> Full Service Marketing Agency: The Execution Diary

    MARKETING 
    Thanks! A very good idea. I'll throw some thoughts out to some contacts of mine and see how people feel about it. USPS is as bad as usual and then a bit. A lot of my clients are political candidates and USPS seems uncapable of sending a political mailing without leaking photos, losing mail in a...

    Scaling From Local Direct Mailing Business -> Full Service Marketing Agency: The Execution Diary

    MARKETING 
    'Momentum' is an understatement. I've got my gameplan and it's achievable. I've already sat down and started teaching my team the ideas of a business being a system and all the communication that goes with it. I realized that a lack of communication during fulfillment was responsible for most...

    Scaling From Local Direct Mailing Business -> Full Service Marketing Agency: The Execution Diary

    MARKETING 
    It's time for an execution thread. Background: I'm British but wanted to move to the US. While waiting for the paperwork for my green card to be prepared, I decided to enter on an E-2 (Investor/Business Owner Visa). This meant I needed to buy a business or start a new one. I took $400k-ish in...

    Are all business brokers terrible?

    RANT 
    Back in February, I bought a going business with brokers representing both buyer and seller. Transaction went well, no problem. I'd recently decided to continue looking for other businesses on the market. I was just trying to get a feel for the market but I had cash ready to jump on a deal if I...

    MARKETPLACE 
    Steve, Steve, Steve. What can I say about the last 3 and a bit hours. That was the best $97 I've ever spent and that comes from a background of a lot of coaching and training. All those things you said you needed to 'demonstrate to be true'. You certainly did them all. Actionable, clear, and no...

    PayPal Alternatives?

    INVESTING 
    It would be interesting to see whether there is an increase in conversion rate for offering PayPal. It just seems like most people in their head realizes they need to get their card out to enter the details. That said, retailers like Amazon, save your card details so it doesn't 'feel like'...

    PayPal Alternatives?

    INVESTING 
    If you're talking about payment processing, then I vouch for Stripe again. Customer service from real experts w/ callbacks in under 60 seconds. A dashboard that makes everything really easy to understand without delving into your accounting software. Pretty good pricing and integrations with a...

    Selling a product (Questions to ask yourself)

    MARKETING 
    Talk to people, talk to people, talk to people. Market research is much more than just buying some statistics from a research company. So many 'founders' get caught up with market valuations but have not once spoken to a member of their target audience. Validate your ideas by talking to people...

    Google offers alternative to college degrees

    Professional certs are definitely becoming more relevant these days. I've met Business Administration majors that can't interpret financial statements and plenty enough 'tech' grads that can't explain anything to a non-tech. Higher education has needed change for a long time. While I don't...

    EXECUTION 
    @JonathanMiz Any tips, tricks, or thoughts about organic reach on Linkedin? I've heard the hype about it but there don't seem to be any good guides talking about how the algorithm works. Is it purely about writing in a captivating way or is there some sort of hashtag wizardry?

    Tik Tok is open for Business!

    I've worked with a number of brands, building accounts on TikTok. It is incredibly easy to grow very quickly. Is it an audience with purchasing intent? Maybe, maybe not. Either way, the brand awareness is crazy. Key advice is context, context, context. Make your content contextual. TikTok is...
