Have you ever read a job description for a CMO that started off great, but turned out to be a little rocky? It may have said they wanted you to run strategy, which is great! But then did it add on tasks that aren't part of the responsibilities of a CMO? A good CMO is not here to do tactical work, they are here to do strategic work. My guest, Brett Schklar, focuses a lot on fractional CMOs and works with growth phase CEOs, CROs, and entrepreneurs.   Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:  

1. There is an assumption that because product market fit exist the market come to you, but this is not a good, sustainable or predictable method of ensuring goals are met.
2. Think big! Not just annual revenue.
3. Marketing should own revenue, but more importantly predictable revenue growth and VALUATION of the company

Are you and your team goal-oriented or results-oriented? Are you wondering what the difference is? According to my guest in this episode, Dr. Jean Oursler, goals don't work, but results do. In fact, to achieve your goals, you must fight your “caveman brain.” If you don’t, it will stand in your way every single time. Christina, what in the world is a caveman's brain? I'm glad you asked. It involves brain science and business growth systems. Dr. Jean explains all of that and more, so this is a conversation you don't want to miss.

 

Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

 

1. Focus on the “what,” not the “how”

2. Don’t get addicted to money, revenue, or sales. Get addicted to better sales, company, and life balance

3. Change your vocabulary and overcome the Caveman Brain. Instead of “hard,” use “challenge.” Instead of “goals,” say “results”
