What is Disruptive Marketing? Are You Participating? episode 182

      So, what is the definition of disruptive marketing? What does what I read actually mean that means anything goes. So, if anything goes I’m going with my thoughts   Does marketing that disrupts your thought process work yes, no. maybe? Does that mean anything goes? What works and what works better. Let’s take a look at the definition of the word disrupt and go from there and see how it is being used in marketing and is it as effective as it could be.  Or are we trying too hard and should we be looking for a better way to get our potential clients to raise their hands?  Definition of the word disrupts, to interrupt or impede the progress of mainly your thought process.  I personally believe everything works some better than others and as a business owner, we continually need to test and measure. Let’s start out here The cost of your marketing human nature says I don’t want to spend any more than I have too. First, spend is a bad word and needs to be replaced with invest in my business. Yes, ultimately, we want to get the best bang for our marketing buck and that may look different than you think. It is not always the cost of the lead that makes the transaction better. Example: Sometimes inexpensive leads will create leads to more estimates and fewer closed transactions.  Then on the other hand a higher cost for a lead brings you a more qualified client who spends more money and you make a higher profit now it takes fewer leads to close the sale. From that scenario, what lead is the more expensive lead, if you are following the thought process the cheaper lead is the more expensive lead. Are you investing your money wisely? That’s why you are always testing and measuring.
