The Tactical Entrepreneur

In this episode of The Tactical Entrepreneur podcast, Steve talks about  Business marketing mistakes that can be fatal: 

• treating your marketing as an expense, instead of an investment.
• not having written a fully worked-out marketing plan that comes along with the budget
• targeting the wrong audience
• not being unique 
• not knowing what competitors are doing
• not recognizing how critical your current customers are
• having a weak online presence
• not knowing marketing metrics

“It's so important to make sure that you know your your numbers and honestly, probably one of the most, if not the most important thing. If you know your numbers, all these other things are going to fall into place.”
