Sunday, when the Priest was giving his sermon he said they (the Priests) compare mass attendance at the end of each weekend. He said since everyone has returned from their summer vacations, Saturday night mass was full, the two earlier Sunday masses were full and this mass was full. My wife and I looked around and it seemed to us that the church was a bit more than half full.

We now can generate more content than ever before, but should we? What if we knew what buyers wanted and made more of that instead of producing what’s fast and/or easy? Last month, I shared insights from our research highlighting the gap between content marketing and the buyer’s journey. Specifically, roughly 80% of closed sales deals we evaluated couldn’t be connected to marketing content.

There’s one moment in the process of creating a blog post or news article that every small publisher dreads: “What do I use for my featured image?” Agencies and media companies have creative directors, photographers and artists at their beck and call to create this image for them. But what about the rest of us? Some of us will head over to Google Images despite our better judgment.

Ask yourself a question, “Are you taking your people where they want/need to be taken?” Too often, we tend to focus on where we need to go/what we want to accomplish, but we fail in engaging our people as effectively, taking them where they need to be taken. Recently, I’ve had a fascinating experience working with a very high potential CRO.

And it’s not that consumers aren’t hearing from brands. Part of the problem is they’re inundated with ads and worry about being tracked online.

Some advertisers are reporting issues with Google Ads’ GCLID (Google Click Identifier) offline conversion uploads, starting on Sept. 12. Although uploads are marked as successful, the associated conversion actions are showing zero results. Why we care. Conversion data is the backbone of measuring campaign effectiveness. Without accurate tracking, it’s impossible to assess ROI, optimize bids, or make informed decisions on ad spend.

Those all matter, but the best founders fight through them. No the #1 issue ends up being waiting too long to truly go multi-product. No matter what you do, if you are too slow here, growth stalls.

We seem to be wired to react and respond. When we encounter a problem, we immediately jump on it doing what we can do to correct it, getting back on course. It seems like a game of business/selling “whack a mole.” A problem pops up here, we put a fix in place, another one appears somewhere else, we fix that, another pops up… We move from problem to problem, “whacking” them, only to have more pop up elsewhere.

Especially if you include “cold emailing” and “cold door knocking” into the definition of cold calling.
