About the event

A FREE virtual masterclass hosted online by Talent United.
Join us online on Wednesday 9 December, 9.30am – 11.00am.
Why do what so many of your competitors are doing, when you can achieve more by thinking different?
A lot of the business world today seems to be living in an age of sameness, where:
- Too many products, services and even companies look and sound the same as each other.
- Millions of businesses are slugging it out on the same social media platforms and struggling to be heard.
- So many businesses use the same marketing methods to try to reach the same target customers.
Many business owners are left wondering why their marketing isn’t achieving the revenue levels that they want, or helping them to get ahead of their competitors.
In this masterclass, John Horton will explore two ways in which marketing can deliver far superior results, and help you to outstrip your competitors:
- Why choose you – John will explain how you can get significantly more customers choosing to do business with you, rather than with your competitors. This is a question that many businesses, both large and small, either don’t bother answering at all, or if they do, they often run into one of many pitfalls.
- The power of highly targeted Marketing in a largely untargeted digital world – John will explain how you can guarantee to get your best competitive marketing messages right under the noses of your top target customers to achieve conversion rates as much as 30 times greater than by using email or social media.
The masterclass will finish with a short question and answer session during which John will be happy to discuss any marketing challenges you may be facing in these interesting times.
