Are you poking the patient’s pain?

A good doctor will examine you thoroughly…

🙄 “Does this hurt?”

😬 “What about this?”

😖 “And this?”

Effective marketing will do likewise.

But in business, 95% of us try to sell prematurely.

That’s like a doctor prescribing a course of treatment before knowing what’s wrong with the patient 🤨

Instead of trying to sell a product or service prematurely, good marketing will ‘poke the pain’ of prospective customers with the view of leading them to the ‘doctor’ for ‘treatment’.

✔️ Good LinkedIn profiles poke the pain

✔️ Good LinkedIn content pokes the pain

✔️ Comments on others’ LinkedIn posts can poke the pain, too

👍 Are you poking the pain of your prospective ‘patients’?

👎 Or are you prescribing prematurely?

I can help you ‘poke the pain’ and become a better ‘doctor’ for your potential ‘patients’.

  I’ve worked in sales and business development roles since leaving school. Having moved to Australia from the UK in 2012, LinkedIn helped me generate over $3.5 million worth of leads for my then employer in under 2 years - without spending a cent on advertising. I became a LinkedIn coach in 2014 and started teaching what I’d learned ‘on the coalface’ to companies and individuals. I was recently named one of the top ranked LinkedIn experts in Asia Pacific region by Social Media Marketing Institute.
