Awesome. Another for the swipe file. My favorite is get outside help. What? How can we keep our egos in tact if we are looking for outside help? 😆 😆 😳
Great list, Grant. I would put Creating Differentiation at the top. Kyle Coleman did a great presentation (at Exit 5 Drive) where he put up four homepages (including his own company's before he started working there). The headlines were hard to tell apart. Sameness = boring = lose the audience.
Grant Johnson Thank you for sharing such a comprehensive Index. I completely agree with you on the importance of #1: Without alignment on key metrics and success benchmarks, it’s like driving without a map. Clarity on what "good" looks like helps track progress.
Metrics alignment is so critical upfront to make sure you aren't spinning. Thanks for the great resource as always Grant Johnson
These are fantastic Grant! 👏
Thanks for the shoutout Grant! And this is a comprehensive, easy to follow framework that would benefit any marketing leader
