The Marketing Book Podcast: "Shift" by Sean M. Doyle

Shift: 19 Practical, Business-Driven Ideas for an Executive in Charge of Marketing but Not Trained for the Task by Sean M. Doyle

Sean Doyle Combo

Sean is co-founder, principal and director of strategy for FitzMartin, Inc., a B2B sales and marketing consultancy that helps mid-sized companies solve their most pressing challenges.

Interesting fact - he is motorcyclist and is the owner of a Suzuki V-Strom 650

The Host's Perspective:

Perception: marketing is a “cash drain on business.”
Reality: marketing is only a cost or cash-flow drain if it isn't done correctly.

Perception: marketing “ isn't worth attention or effort.”
Reality: you may not use marketing as a serious business tool because you either think it doesn't work or you haven't learned to use it properly.

Perception: marketing is all about “making things look pretty.”
Reality: you've assigned low-level assistance and paltry budgets to the marketing function. Neither will impact your company's performance.

The truth is that your company’s sales process would be a lot easier if you learned how to use marketing properly.

The problem is that most people who are running companies or have been thrust into a marketing role have not been trained for the task.

If people in that situation only read one book about marketing, this is the one to read now.
