Marketing- The Machinery
Joe owns a chemical company. He spends 10 hours a day in his warehouse. At the end of his day, he has 10 gallons of cleaner that he has mixed. Tina comes along and offers a piece of machinery that will mix 1000 gallons of chemicals a day. Yet, the equipment costs more than Joe thought. Joe is torn between making the decision to hold onto his money or spend it and take the risk.
Joe has not been able to interact with his customers the way that he wants to. He enjoys sales and likes to talk to his customers. That’s why he started business in the first place, to help his customers have a cleaner home using his chemicals.
He goes home after a hard day’s work and he thinks about it. He doesn’t want to spend this money. But, the equipment would save him time and give him the freedom to do more of what he wants.
Joe calls Tina the next day and decides that he’s going to buy this piece of machinery. The equipment arrives and is set up. Soon, Joe is able to spend his workday in a stocked warehouse with customers he enjoys spending time with.
The benefits –
Taking this risk has proven to be a solid return of investment for Joe’s business. Joe is now making ten times more profit than he was before. He has grown his customer base from fifteen to one hundred customers in three months. In fact, Joe has made enough money to pay off the machinery completely. Joe calls Tina and thanks her for helping him save time, money, and resources. He now has the freedom to do what he enjoys most in his business.
This is the same concept with marketing. As a business owner, you can only juggle so many things at one time. You can only produce so much content, visibility, and reach for your business alone. Make use of your machine.
It’s easy to overthink an investment and later regret that you didn’t do anything about it. Your machine delivers customers that you want to work with and a business that you can scale. Marketing is that efficient machine to make your life easier as
an entrepreneur.
