Why Smart Marketing Is About Help, Not Hype

The difference between helping and selling is just two letters. But those two letters are critically important to your company’s success.

You’re not competing for attention only against other, similar products. You’re competing for attention against everything. To win in this hyper-competitive environment, you must ask “How can we help?”

If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life. This is Youtility.

Includes interviews with dozens of companies practicing Youtility, and provides 6 blueprints for building Youtility in your company.

Ad Agency New Business Survey – Take It

My friend Michael Gass, who writes the excellent Fueling Ad Agency New Business blog, has launched a survey of small and mid-sized ad agencies and the current state of their business development program. 

With the economy getting as ugly as pre-surgery Joan Rivers, figuring out how to keep your agency in front of key prospects is more important than ever. (If you haven’t read my post on “5 Reasons Why Digital Marketing Will Thrive in the Recession” you can find it here)

The survey takes literally 2 minutes to complete. 3 if you’re checking email simultaneously. 

The best part is, if you send Michael an email (michael at michael gass dot com) he’ll send you a copy of the results when analysis is completed.
