Quick Tip
Standing Out
“Look at what the majority of people are doing, and do the exact opposite, and you’ll probably never go >wrong for as long as you live”.
-- Earl Nightingale
Want an easy way to stand out from your competitors?
Try talking to more people. One-on-one conversations. And let them do most of the talking.
If your competition does any marketing, I'll bet they are broadcasting. Pushing out information. The more, the better - or so they would think.
The flood of mediocre content will only swell as AI tools like ChatGPT continue to become mainstream.
So if you want to stand out from the crowd, focus on quality over quantity and...
Be the marketer/salesperson who actually talks to people.
Have a great weekend!
