Start with SWOT

With a Marketing SWOT you can begin to drive to the innovations that are necessary for your company to succeed.

While many feel that the worst is over (at least in the first wave) of COVID-19, there is no doubt that marketing and selling (and just about everything else) has changed. It’s time to get serious about digital, about video and about your new sales process.

The Next Normal

I have a friend who told me, “It’s not the new normal, it’s the next normal…”. Implying that while things have settled a bit right now as far as the way business is conducted, it could change again very quickly. That’s why digital is so important. Because no matter where you are or what changes come to your business, you can quickly adjust your messaging and your activity online to meet the next normal.
