Seth Godin, Specialization, Small Business Marketing

Seth Godin appeared recently on an interview with John Jantsch, Duct Tape Marketing, and offered, as usual, some very thought provoking ideas and “calls to actions” for Small Business Owners! 

At one point he said - “If people aren’t talking about you, there’s a reason. You’re boring - your products are boring, your services are boring, your message is boring, your marketing is boring . . .”

To quote John, “You get the point. And he’s right. There’s no excuse for being unremarkable - the bar is so dang low. Because most of your competition is even more boring.”

Seth, also, recommends HYPERSPECIALIZATION and BEING THE OVERWHELMINGLY OBVIOUS CHOICE!!!
