Anecdotes to Remember

 

Frogs and Businesses

 

 

There's an old story that says...

You can't kill a frog by dropping him in boiling water. He reacts so quickly to the sudden heat that he jumps out before he's hurt. But if you put him in cold water and then warm it up gradually, he never decides to jump till it's too late. By then he's cooked!

 

Is your business like a frog slowly getting boiled? Are you losing market share a little at a time and not responding? Have your sales not shown significant upward growth pattern? Is your competition coming out with new products, promotions, and programs while you aren't sure in which direction to go? Are your key personnel slowly being boiled and not responding to an ever-changing marketplace? If so, to keep your business out of hot water and increase your sales, call the Marketing Consulting Talent that Means Business.

Catfish and Consultants

 

 

There's an old story that says...

Years ago when fish merchants wanted to market their fish, they would place a large catfish in the bottom of their tank. As the day warmed up the other fish would get a little lazy and sink towards the bottom. That's when the catfish would go into action and take a bite out of them. Well, you should see how those fish stopped sinking and kept moving in the right direction.

 

Is your organization just floating around being tired?Are you seeing your marketing efforts and new products go belly-up? Are customers buying from someone else's tank? Have you wanted someone who knew how to keep your organization moving? Is your competition coming out with new products, promotions, and programs while you aren't sure in which direction to go? If so, drop me a line and increase your sales with the Marketing Consulting Talent that Means Business.

Snails and Plans

 

 

There's an old story that says...

A snail was once crossing a road for seven years. Just as the snail got across the road a tree fell and missed the small snail by about an inch or two. "Just think", said the snail, "If I had been where I was six months before, the tree would have killed me. See how it pays to be fast!"

 

Are your marketing plans moving at a snails pace and are you really satisfied with that speed? Have you come close to getting run over by your competition? Have some of your key personnel withdrawn into their shell? Is your competition coming out with new products, marketing promotions, and marketing programs, while you are too busy just trying to cross the road? Are you looking for the right talent to help speed things up? If so, to speed up your plans and keep them from becoming escargot, call the Marketing Consulting Talent that Means Business.

Ants and Management

 

 

There's an old story that says...

A little ant once climbed a big tree and got out on a limb. The branch happened to break and fall into a raging stream. Then, the branch with the little ant perched on top drifted towards the falls. The whole time the little ant was grinning. Why?... Because he really believed that he was driving.

 

Are you just floating along with the stream heading towards a fall? Have your key people ever put you out on a limb? Do your sales managers believe they are really in control of your marketing plans? Is your competition coming out with new products, promotions, and programs while your company is just drifting along? Are you looking for the right navigator to steer you? If so, to keep your business plans moving upstream and increase your sales, call the Marketing Consulting Talent that Means Business.
