Everyday someone wants your attention and wants you to act on their message, join their cause, act on their promo,buy their stuff, their unbelievable solutions to your problems…if you take our courses. Oh…don’t get us started with the endless peddling of fear, urgency and misinformation – –This one became a close experience when we and others kept receiving daily email blast by a popular author, who also is the occasional media talking head, Robert K (Hint: Something Dad ….Poor Dad). Dear Founders, Startups & Small Medium Businesses blasting your marketing everyday at every hour is annoyance not effective marketing. Plus, you waste time & money!!

Hey Robert K, if you’re so wise why do you talk too much? Good books Roberts but Why are you blasting our mailbox with your s_-__ everyday at every hour without our permission? With email subject lines like the following: 1, “Biden wants to “turn off” your money 2, “Creepy joe opened the gate for a Trojan Horse” 3, “about the effing storm on the horizon…” ….We could go on however that’s not the point to this content.

In our opinion, Robert you say you want to make people financially empowered yet you and many others in your position are just sometimes mind f_-__ people for your own bottom-line. Kevin O’Leary, Susan Orman, Grant Cardone, Dave Ramsey, Michelle Singletary, Christine Benz, Nicole Lapin, Tiffany Aliche, Erin Lowry, Ramit Sethi, Peter Theil, Elon Musk and other financial personalities.

    “Thiel predicted bitcoin’s price would surge 100 times around the same time his fund was reportedly selling its crypto holdings.” Source BusinessInsider

In addition, remember readers all advice has to be taken with a grain of salt, regardless of the source.

Again, just cause the “R” word is being thrown around now on the news doesn’t mean your marketing needs to be f_-__ annoying.

 

jjj


We marketers, managers and founders sometimes think we are so smart. We think we can use all the tricks and our users and clients would be too dumb to figure out the truth.  From car manufacturers, retailers, ecommerce, transportation, utilities, tech companies, telecom, insurance, banking,  b2b providers, the internet providers…others.

ENERGY & GREEN ENERGY

One take away, the way capitalism works in all forms today is not sustainable. In my opinion you can’t extract resources that have taken thousands of years to form and not have good ways to reuse, recycle, repurpose the goods we make. The new or natural resource may become harder to obtain. Nothing against capitalism but today's capitalism is too short term thinking.

[“In California, panels purchased during a solar power push that began in 2006 are nearing the end of their typical 25-year life cycle, according to the Los Angeles Times. Now, many are landing in landfills, “where components that contain toxic heavy metals such as selenium and cadmium can contaminate groundwater,” ]

The rising oil prices, inflation, trying to get other countries to increase oil production so we can go back to normal consumption of limited natural resources—the droughts—hunger crises in parts of Africa—the floods—possible new covid variants—the Ukraine & Russian conflict—supply chain concerns—rising heat waves—rising violence . . .all signs that something/someone is trying to tell us something.

From my observation, it appears that the boom and bust cycles will be happening at a more frequent rate and shorter periods because the social & economic & natural problems keep compounding.


Going gaga for solar power and green energy sounds like a solution to our energy needs now but is it worth it to end up with more trash burden in the future???

If we go green energy shouldn’t we make sure most of the waste is also cheaper to green???

[“National Renewable Energy Laboratory data cited by the Times said the estimated that costs to recycle a (solar) panel are $20 to $30, compared to $1 to $2 if they are sent landfills.”]

Develop Better Project Management / Account Management

Retool Your Service Offering

It is important to keep making sure to properly-clearly define your services or products. Define your deliverables, your compelling value proposition, etc. Also realize that some prospects might want something basic and some might want something more complex. Make a habit to retool offering at a set time.

How & Why Your B2B Company Should Sponsor Content To Educate, Influence, Inspire, Gain Leads, Survive, & Thrive Post Covid-19

“I broke up with my girlfriend after she contracted the common flu I’ve decided to wash my hands of her.” - Bad Joke Source Unknown

Surely that joke may have made you smile a little or just infuriate you more because of the times we’re living in. Whatever the case, we’re all living in an unprecedented time and it’s impacting us all in many different forms.

Sometimes you just want to scream “What the fuck God” but you come to realize that you have at least two choices. Choice one, do nothing while you drown in your pity party. Choice two, get up and figure it out.

Your industry, workers, family, friends, country, pets, and so on may be terrified and could be made more vulnerable. You still at this moment have the power to care, support, assist, motivate, drive your organization to pull through. The sun will come out tomorrow.

One way to do that is to leverage your connections and influencers. Sponsor more content that can help you Educate your target. Gain Leads, Gain Trust, Survive, & Thrive.




You, Founders & Leaders, have a chance to make a lasting positive difference on many lives in and out of your community during & post covid19. - “Manny”



NOTE: Make sure what you are selling or offering is not preying on people or businesses. Make sure you are creating a win-win relationship. Make sure you are really connecting to people not just chasing transactions. Don’t be a fucking flack when it comes to embracing diversity, social justice, investing in diverse community, universal values.

Some B2B have said Sponsoring Content is the:

We all have personal and business challenges that we haven’t the time, energy, and patience to solve. For example, You may want to change and improve your service business performance and yet you just don’t know where to start. I and the BJ Mannyst team are always looking for interesting service business (the occasional product business) challenges from North America tech companies to non-tech companies that just need another look or a fix.

In the moment, here are some tips (sponsored by BJMANNYST.COM):

If you are going to be kicking ass in marketing post 2020, you’ve got to be agile and fast.

 

You are going to need to be agile and fast adapting operation. Even if you have mastered a tool, tactic, etc there are new innovations, platforms, rules that can change your role in the market.

You can be very big or still starting out your service business. You are going to need analysis, strategies, marketing tools a.k.a marketing stacks to do a good job.

 

 

 

If you are out there dreaming of a better future for your startup or your small medium business, I and the BJ Mannyst team highly recommend adopting business analytics. marketing analytics, and digital analytics because it will help you discover opportunities, fix problems, improve and find threats much faster. Plus it may just provide options to aid in overcoming challenges. 

Business Analytics as a Service (BAaaS) & Marketing Analytics as a Service (MAaaS) allow small / medium / big businesses to get their (structure and unstructured) data collected, processed and presented to them in the form of actionable insights.  Which may have cost a lot more to setup via on premise in-house, if not for cloud computing. Well it does cost more if you have BIG DATA. . .since you SMB likely have a lot less data, you could get started much faster.

 The thing is managing your small data, IT, privacy controls, man power is whole lot of upfront investments, development, administration and  time. You can allocate that to third parties who then just give you insights and recommendation without handing over data irresponsibly.

 

SO the team at BJ Mannyst introduce these simple analytics solutions [Business Analytics as a Service (BAaaS) & Marketing Analytics as a Service (MAaaS)] for SMB to assist them in improving performance and thriving.
