As always, everything starts with your ideal client. Maybe you just want to reach more people like the ones you’re already working with, and that’s great. In that case, take a look back at the activities that helped you get in front of those people in 2024 and plan to do more of that. Ditch anything that did not get you in front of the right people. If you’re looking to work with people you haven’t worked with before, you’ll need to create a new marketing persona (or multiple marketing personas) to either replace or supplement your existing personas. #marketinggoals #businessgoals

When deciding which activities to keep and which ones to adjust or ditch, it’s important to remember that quantity isn’t everything. Yes, you need a certain number of leads coming in if you’re going to have any hope of filling your pipeline and meeting your sales goal for the month/quarter/year. But if all the leads coming in are low-quality leads who aren’t interested in your services, that doesn’t do you any good. In fact, it’s a negative, because it sucks up a lot of your time and energy without giving you the result you need to keep your business going. So, in addition to looking at the number of leads each activity is bringing in, also consider the quality of those leads. Where do the people you love to work with tend to come from? What can you do to get more clients like that? https://buff.ly/3CAhizL #marketingstrategy #marketinggoals

AI may or may not be coming for our jobs, but it's definitely coming for our click-through rate. It's nothing new.

Backlinks and having other professionals mention you on their website is one way to get other people to refer to you as an authority on their websites, but what about your local newspaper? Or a national newspaper? Or an industry magazine? https://buff.ly/40FFFWy #psychologyofauthority #marketingstrategy
