Marketing That Works When You Don't Have a Decade to Wait
About This Podcast Episode:
In this episode, we unpack why standard marketing advice fails when you’re starting a consulting or service business with a short runway and without a decade to wait. I share three practical moves that help you get traction faster by leaning on your deep experience, relationships, focusing your effort, and pricing like the expert you already are. It includes:
- why most marketing advice assumes infinite time and why that doesn’t work for midlife founders and laid-off corporate pros
- why it’s important to use your warm audience before cold audience and how to turn hidden connections into real leads
- why reactivating past clients is so valuable
- how to choose one channel that fits your strengths and your ideal customer
- the difference between compounding content and disposable content
- how to position around your years of expertise
- why to use pricing as a signal
- what “I can’t afford you” usually means and how to respond
