squeeze it and it must work unbelievably hard to make the thing happen you can't create growth without new customers or without having such a great service that you create Word of Mouth attention is the number one asset we must win on relevance not just on our subjective opinions of brand and we must do it at scale so what I would do today is I would produce as much content as humanly possible on Tik Tok Facebook Instagram YouTube Snapchat Pinterest at scale at the lowest cost possible which is not at the expense of the quality of the content and I would do that and then when I would get the signals Quant and qual signals I would then amplify true consumer insights into more meaningful and that is the model that I believe ### [0:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOONxNAZAEE&t=54s) 8:15 Building Your Brand Brick by Brick believe in I am a first marketing hire for a 75 plus year old building products uh distributor I have a million in one different angles that I can play I've spent the first year and a half building out infrastructure like brand guidelines uh new website uh first ever CRM for the company tons of big projects two-part question here one how do you view or create overall marketing strategies I'm a oneperson department right now um who are you trying to reach in this company by the way is it a B2B business yeah we primarily work with contractors gc's building uh professionals uh remodelers right did you go to school for marketing no all selftaught I'll tell you what I asked the brand guidelines that like you're going about it very academic which doesn't bother me that wasn't like a Raz even though I was an F student everybody knows it like I'm just trying to get your framework like they had no consistency as far as branding colors logos any of that stuff why didn't you Gra gravitate towards that is actually my question you need to Rally behind something out in the public right there needs to be a visual identity that people associate with your brand right but you're a you're not Nike you have to win on relevance more than brand positioning I spend a ton of time on it I put that together it's like a one sheater basically if that's what you're asking it's more about the first year how long have you been in about a year and a half so those were just some of the key initiatives I mean the CRM was a huge thing integrating that with our ER P software and IT department on that building out the website by myself and completely transferring that over I just got first phase involved with that I have seven eight phases 75 plus Pages yet to build out for that and a content and an SEO strategy I'm trying to figure out from a holistic picture ramping up content by myself I don't need I didn't even have a functioning website to send them to so I had to get some of those pieces put in overall picture how would you approach that and then tactically as a one-man Department how do I kind of take the biggest and best fite out of that Apple um so I assume the organization is a sales organization are these individual contractors yeah we're working with individual contractors and Contracting businesses and you're selling direct to them through the website or no we don't have an e-commerce aspect yet right so the website is informational that leads to the phone call or the inquiry it's the sale it's the lead gen sales engine yep for now so a couple things first of all where if anywhere is the content studio in the world and here's what I mean not a studio you're delivering Goods after they phone call you to them right and then they are working right they're doing their thing the first thing I would do is play on people's ego I would create a program for contractors that are like the gold standard contractors that you are anointing as a wholesaler these 12 to 20 guys and gals as epic at their craft by being chosen into the gold standard circle of our distributor because we think you're the best contractors we are going to come with our iPhones AKA I Bryce I'm going to come with my iPhone and we're going to actually film you on job give you that content and we're going to use that content so what you the way you're going to create besides SEO which is absolutely going to be a monster for you and you've called that out if you're talking about the question directly that you're asking me it is pretty crazy how much you can get out of LinkedIn and YouTube shorts because of search engine on YouTube and because of the way LinkedIn targeting works against contractors and things of that nature but you need content I think your content studio is you picking 12 or 20 customers and flattering them that you think they're good and going and filming them for the day so that you can then post produce it for your content so from an overall standpoint figure out getting that whole content engine up and running content engine is everyone every single question that every single person is about to ask me is content engine at the lowest cost possible okay yeah it's the answer now there's a lot of answers after that fine now you filmed it now what like do you know how to do a thumbnail the first three seconds do you understand a LinkedIn Carousel is PDF versus the do you understand Facebook groups like do you understand your content should sent to a Facebook group because you can create virality within it that then sends to your website like there's a lot more but like anything in life I don't know if you know this but your back issues are really your feet right yep yeah it's a brain [ __ ] but it makes so much sense it's your feet so just like that I talk a lot about parenting that's pretty foundational right like so yes notice what I did and I did it and went in detail because it's a unique answer to your question but it might have sparked stuff for people in here thinking about making content for this business like [ __ ] Studio I got to hire three dcks uh-uh here's a way to do it for free we're going to flatter the people who already buy from us make them part of this special Club what we're going to do is go and fil and we're going to bring value we're going to film oh by the way the iPhone is more powerful than the camera drock the iPhone today that drock used starting to film me right so that's another low cost go film and so it yeah that's exactly right brother I'm trying to figure out how to and by the way there's so much wild [ __ ] literally you doing fulfillment in your Warehouse filming that and if you really know how to ASMR that stuff and do some other wild stuff they're just wild [ __ ] that none of us would believe in a million years would work as business development or marketing that works there's somebody in your Warehouse named Carl that's been here for 29 years who if you just filmed every day is actually famous and will drive your whole business sure so it's thinking about these angles that you haven't thought about before that drive down your cost of creative at scale filming yourself every day writing a book becomes the marketing of the book I filmed me drawing every single be I got it it's there for the documentary one day hopefully and this and that but like I could use it for marketing right now that'd be a good post for us right just watch me draw a hangout Hawk so as the only person in the marketing department focusing only on content like don't worry about the balance of everything else that has to be taken care of just try my best to allocate as much time as possible to that I think it's a mix brother I think the way you know like to your point like you know you can build on something that I said that I felt that was fairly smart and you might get smarter than me you might be like wait a minute I'm just going to ask them to film and we're going to Showcase them now all of a sudden they're doing everything you're just giving them the cosign right so me to take any more time up worries no but what's good about hangout Hawk and what I really want to do this year is like I want to go deep like I need my dream of this was that one thing was said to you that you took like these are things that everyone can comp on like I'm a restaurant I need marketing I'm like film The Kitchen 24 hours a day instead of having a day when ### [8:15](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOONxNAZAEE&t=495s) 13:25 Don't Sleep On The Power Of AI you do content AI is such a big deal it's almost a little bit difficult to actually comprehend when I hear the number that 90% of the cont content on the internet in 2 years will be AI generated I don't dismiss that as crazy that's how fast this will all happen it might take a hair longer cuz two years happens fast and there's a lot of content out there but that makes sense to me whether it's 4 years 9 years 99% of content being AI driven makes sense cuz the AI is going to be more effective than the humans and that will just happen I think the more interesting question is how different it is for the businesses here than the creators here here's why every Creator here can make content at scale through Ai and not have to worry about any of the things that every business has to hear the biggest conversation that's about to happen with every business here is who owns the creative that AI is generating for example vayer which is very Progressive we are sending out emails constantly saying we do not make AI content for our clients because we're liable because we have not even begun to talk about the trademark and copyright issues of AI right now the most interesting conversations about AI that I think are happening is the biggest IP companies in the world are getting their litigation set up to sue all the AI companies all the output for the creative is coming from sources so I think there is a major storm brewing incorporation land around AI because I don't think anyone's going to touch it for a long time until there's Clarity cuz there's going to be liability the entrepreneurs aren't going to be worried about that CU Disney's not going to sue a tick tocker but Disney's going to sue Under Armor or by proxy us or by proxy open AI if the source of how they made that creative came from sources of Disney so I think that there's a lot here this train has left the station and there's nothing stopping it yes the creative copyright and trademark stuff has to be figured out and it will over the next decade I actually think that's going to be the thing that Spurs people realizing why the blockchain matters I think the blockchain is going to be a big winner from AI because I think a lot of people that own IP are going to put the IP on the blockchain to own providance to then be able to be us like there's a lot of multiple Technologies Brewing at the same time right now I think the other thing that everyone's going to be blown away by is how quickly you're going to use AI in your everyday life you know if you're paying attention sure some of you saw some of the plugins that chat GPT is doing with like food ordering service like if you didn't see this let me just explain something to you can you imagine being able to say to a device like an Alex Alexa seven of my friends are coming over two of them are lactose intolerance three are completely eating vegan one loves Tomatoes three prefer onions can you place an order on seamless and ship it to us right away and also email me the ingredients of every product and you're done and that happens that is profound the reason the internet and everything that is going on in our world is working is cuz it makes us more efficient convenience's King is a historically important statement in retail but it plays out in real life everyone here spends money that they can't afford on convenience and what chat GPT and AI is going to do is create convenience that we have never dreamed of cuz you're not only getting information like a search engine you're getting action and so I think you're barking up the right tree it's going to profoundly and I would say this for everyone here if you are not using AI tools every day of your life you're making a huge mistake you've got to start training whether you need it or not is irrelevant you're going to need it and you're going to interact with it every day so the faster you're good at it was like all the people that you met along the day like remember when you met Executives 20 years ago 10 years ago that still don't even use e email and they have their like secretary print out the email like when it felt so weird that's how not using AI will feel so the faster you get used to it the better cuz or all the people that didn't go to the iPhone cuz they needed to touch the buttons on the BlackBerry they all eventually use the iPhone nobody here is not going to use AI every day all the time and so you might as well start learning how to use it ### [13:25](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOONxNAZAEE&t=805s) 15:40 Leveraging The Concept Of Brandformance now so I've been for to um go viral continually with the kaying business um we have over like 400 million views yeah the content is obviously so conducive if you were selling concrete it wouldn't be as easy yeah part of the thought process um you know on my daily work is like how do I convert more of that to actual business by taking the content that's gone viral and slightly tweaking it and making it the collateral that you advertise against okay let me say that one more time for everyone the greatest thing about organic social right now is the algorithms are not based anymore on what they used to be which is like your followers it's now based on the content so social for the first 15 years was more about like email marketing build a list Market to it get a percentage of them to do stuff over the last two years we've are fully in the process of the tiktock ification of all social kind of why I invested in Tumblr I invested in Facebook and Twitter for the email thing invested in Tumblr for the content thing meaning the social graph used to be based on your social network now social media could actually be called interest media because it's based on the interest graph the shed could have 19 followers on LinkedIn tomorrow and decide it wants to go and the first post could get a million views if the post itself was good so you have affirmation from the world that they like this video now two things come to mind one does that equally mean that they want to buy no and then two you've got to that part you can't control the part you can control is say okay this video got 4 million views organically on Instagram Tik Tok YouTube shorts let me now retake that video and make it much more hard-hitting I'm going to put a banner at the bottom that says order now discount this let me change the copy so taking the viral creative and turning it into an ad the viral creative is building brand the ad is building performance we call this brand formance right taking something that's gone well organically and turning it into a conversion a ticket selling app ad excuse me ### [15:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOONxNAZAEE&t=940s) 24:29 The Importance Of Building a Positive Company Culture yeah and now I want to talk about one other thing that I think really resonates across the board in this room culture there is an incredible thing going on right now in the world which is people have options for a lot of us that grew up in the ' 80s '90s even 2000s when we were 22 23 the reason you know how everyone wants these gen zers to take [ __ ] jobs it's cuz we did I get it we didn't have options we've got to really start talking about culture in our organizations how many people here are a boss and whether they're direct reports or they have reports underneath them to their direct reports how many people here in essence manage over 10 people raise your hands raise it high great this is really important I think we're going through Brew no different than the technology shift and the big one was the internet obviously in the late '90s and now the big one that's Brewing is blockchain and AI I believe the biggest shift we're going through right now as businesses in this room is even bigger than the Innovation it's the requirements to be a successful organization from a culture standpoint and I know this is on everyone's mind it's on everyone's mind because people are dealing with remote work I mean I would say 50% of my employees that work remote probably work 1 hour a day it's tough we're dealing with that right we're dealing with what a lot of us de as entitlement two days ago there was a Tik Tok video that went super viral because a young woman was talking about how unacceptable it was for her to be commuting to work that didn't land with Gen X super well but here's the problem we can sit here and [ __ ] on the emerging generation or we can understand the truth there's a lot of people in this room that if they were born in a different era when they were 22 or 23 would have not chosen a minimum wage job that sucked they would have just built their business or their brand Direct on Tik Tok or LinkedIn or somewhere else these kids are not lazy they have options they don't want to make 47,000 a year doing something they hate they know they can make 47,000 a year selling T-shirts because of three viral Tik toks we not them need to adjust we to build huge organizations need continuity people are starting to get other options there's a lot coming there are people who are going to be able to write policies in a second that don't even know this industry by pressing one button on AI in three years that's coming I could be in Insurance business in a week with today's [ __ ] Ai and I'm saying that obviously a little bit ad lib but it's not as far off as many people in this room think well my institutional knowledge that I've built my whole life is being commoditized this is a wild time and I just highly recommend you take a step back and think about this not only from a business leader standpoint but from a parenting standpoint the world parents and manages and runs governments and companies predominantly weaponizing fear you want to know why everyone's anxious fear is the currency of our world we're going to cancel you or shame you we're going to call you bad we're you're going to get fired sales teams know those numbers are up there the whole time right if you don't hit your number like think about how you par how many people here are parents raise your hands think for a second of the things that come out of your mouth if you better not fear by the way it works in the short term the problem is it doesn't work in the long term it leads to massive resentment it leads to underperforming I am stunned literally stunned by how people have not figured out that nice guys finish first we've been sold a bag of [ __ ] for most of the people in this room the profit and growth in your business is not about the first part of my talk it's about the second yes do I believe you need better tools I do I don't even understand how one could debate it I know why one isn't doing it because they don't want to have the financial thing happen this year or next year the problem is you're digging your hole deeper so I think that's very easy to understand for this audience if you have a half a brain where your growth is going to be is continuity and growth of your people when people are happy they perform better not when they're scared we have done an atrocious job in business over the last 70 years to play a game that is not sustainable and is about to hit a Tipping Point because not because they're entitled and are lazy but because they have options what that dude that made fun of me about buying wine on the internet didn't understand was buying stuff in the internet is a better option than going to the store because what I know that you know is we pay for time is money you know many people here buy coffee on Postmates and Uber Eats and pay $13 for a coffee to come to their house it's [ __ ] insane but we do it we take an Uber you know how much money people waste for convenience and choice you know how many streaming services you're currently paying for that you don't use it's what we do right and so I highly recommend and I saw so many of your hands go up which makes me super happy if you are managing people just ask yourself simple questions real talk not delusion do you think they like you do you make them feel safe because I promise you what is the train that's about to hit all of us in the next 5 years is not just Ai blockchain and more social media advancements it is the culture within our organizations are going to be a very big deal I want everyone to understand as I'm talking I am not sitting up here talking foofy Grandma stuff and its feelings and we're all soft I'm talking about making [ __ ] money I'm a businessman I call my organ ganization the honey Empire we will win because we will treat each other with honey versus vinegar internally but we're building an empire that is not a soft word I'm trying to buy the New York Jets it's expensive who's a Jets fan in here raise your hands all right first of all I [ __ ] love you yeah it's [ __ ] hard out here so I've been trying to buy the New York Jets for the last 35 years mainly because I don't trust it I want to win a Super Bowl and I only trust myself to get it done so thank you so when I talk about this part I'm always worried that the hardcore business person here is like I'm going to check out look at my iPhone real quick while he's talking about this because this is [ __ ] and I know why people think it but the data is so clear actually how many people here like football and know it a little bit raise your hands I'll use the analogy if good enough good enough cuz I want to use it anyway an offensive line the people that protect the quarterback the data shows that if those five guys don't get hurt in a season and have continuity that the team massively overperforms that's how I think about employees we have long operated and led with fear which actually leads to lack of retention more importantly a lot of you say wait a minute like some of you are being real with yourself right now and saying I'm not the greatest but he's wrong my team's been with you me for a long time it's because they don't think they have options your team that is willing to take your not niceness is insecure and lacks self-esteem that they can do it somewhere else and are underperforming and you're getting a 60% version of them right now and you think you're winning because they're still there all retention is not equal my friends you want to leave with something you want to note something down in your [ __ ] head or in your notepads all retention on your team is not equal if your whole team's still there but you're not setting the tone from the top they're performing at 60% and your little bursts of fear every quarter maybe is creating something a little ARB but it's just not winning and so yes what am I saying I'm saying it's time for all of us to be nicer to our employees is anybody ready for that okay you're not ready for it [ __ ] it do whatever you want ### [24:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOONxNAZAEE&t=1469s) 26:06 3 Things Every Business Needs To Focus On but you must not allow the tension of today confuse you for everyone who is really about that entrepreneur or business life you actually know this is the time to go on offense if you look at any growth curve of any business these are the best times to go on offense when seemingly people are on defense and they are on defense offense comes in a lot of forms to wrap it up one your culture like you want to win more have a 20-minute coffee with employees all of them one by one and actually know them a little bit you'll be stunned what that will mean for your business allocate the time to content you must make a commitment to this content game it is a big deal and three complacency meaning eliminate it you praying that it's not going to happen doesn't stop it technology and Innovation is undefeated against our subjective wants and needs S as individual humans it doesn't matter that you didn't like it happened and it's happening in a big way and it will impact this industry for a lot of you if you get on the treadmill now it won't be as bad to run the marathon in 5 years I don't need you to become Steve Jobs I need you to start dabbling a little bit to protect yourself from the acceleration of the next decade thank you --- *Источник: https://ekstraktznaniy.ru/video/16998*
