Is Marketing Your Achilles’ Heel?
Your business already does a great job of looking after your customers. However, delivering a great product or service doesn’t guarantee ongoing success.
Finding the right marketing strategy for your business is what really makes a difference in the long-term.
Not focusing on the marketing actions that WILL grow your business in the future is a risk you shouldn’t take. It’s vital that you read blogs, attend workshops and watch videos to keep up-to-date with the latest changes in marketing.
But do you have the time?
We know how easy it is to get caught up in the day-to-day running of your business.
Being able to build a marketing knowledge then put it into a plan that will double your turnover is no quick, simple task.
The other killer problem is how fast the rules of the game change. Every month, Google, SEO and Facebook have game changing updates that are impossible to keep up with.
Scattergun Marketing Won’t Get You Great Results
Surgeons live with “a personal graveyard” of operations they’ve performed where the patient dies. With scattergun marketing, you’ll have a graveyard of marketing strategies you’ve tried and that have failed.
Or you simply don’t try new marketing methods because you’re overwhelmed by all the options or you’re scared to fail.
Whatever your reason, if you’re committed to business growth, you must accept the things you’re not great at.
What Is the Fastest Way to Grow Your Business?
There are 3 ways to develop your marketing skills and knowledge. Which one will grow your business the fastest?
1. Reading business books and blogs, watching videos, listening to audio-books or podcasts, and implementing what you’ve learnt.
2. Attending workshops, webinars and taking online training.
3. Getting 1-1 support from the right person.
Choosing The Right Marketing Consultancy
To double your business turnover fast and efficiently, you must choose the right expert for your business needs.
A friend of Grow runs two multi-million pound businesses. She could easily rest on her laurels and be happy with her success. However, she always works with a business mentor.
The right marketing consultancy:
- Helps you grow your business fast.
- Stops you from making costly mistakes that could have been easily avoided.
- Knows the real value of your time as an entrepreneur.
- Understands that you must always delegate more and spend the extra time working on your business, rather than in the business.
- Allows you to regularly bounce ideas and be accountable to someone. We know that running a business can be lonely because there are lots of things that you can’t discuss with your team or business partner.
- Make sure you focus on doing the right things at all time.

Did the Olympic medal winner do it without a coach?
It’s unthinkable that an elite athlete wouldn’t have a coach.
Every great athlete has a sports coach. Some entrepreneurs think that asking for help is considered a failure. It’s not! Asking for help is a sign of smart thinking.
Eric Schmidt, chairman and CEO of Google said the best business advice he ever got was to “get a business coach.”
