Social media and technology have just about destroyed relationships in business.
The very thing they were meant to foster and create has all but disappeared.
We're surrounded by fake connections, vanity metrics, and DM sales pitches. REAL genuine connections are becoming rare.
How can we fix this? As marketers, it's our job to create real relationships, brand loyalty, and TRUST with our customers.
I'm launching a brand new podcast dedicated to finding the answer to building trust in business. Here's the first episode.

π€ Selling Services vs. Selling Value π€
βΌοΈ Spoiler Alert: Selling value is better.
I've been thinking a lot about this lately.
**Iβll use my business as an example:**
I can say that I provide:
- Branding
- Websites
- Podcasts
- SEO
- Digital Marketing
- ...
OR, I can sell:
- Business growth
- Clarity of vision
- An audience
- More leads
- More sales.
What's better?
Obviously itβs better to sell value.
There are millions of website designers in the world. If I simply sell websites, my potential clients could literally go anywhere else and receive the same service. Selling value on the other hand lets them know what transformation you can create in their life. Itβs much harder for competitors to compete on that.
PS: My LinkedIn headline will be changing soon. I don't think "JMH Media. βοΈ Creating Brands | π₯ Websites | π Podcasts | βπ» Content | π₯ Digital Marketing" fits my new vision.

Salespeople get a bad rap.
They're pushy, overly persistent, and don't listen.
Unfortunately, I believe that it's because they've been taught wrong.
Good salespeople are good marketers.
They find customer pain points.
Then they create solutions to those pain points.
When you provide value, the selling part is easy!
