There are soooooo many marketing activities you can do to get clients.

Some work well, some not so well.

Over the last 12 months, I’ve been keeping a list of mistakes my clients were making.

No one wants to do marketing

What you really want is sales — you want MORE CLIENTS.

And if you can simply stop making mistakes, that’s half the battle already won.

Meaning, that you’ll automatically get more attention, get more leads, and get more clients.

Three types of mistakes

To be as useful as possible, I’ve broken these mistakes into 3 categories.

Because while it’s good to know what to avoid, you’ll also see the logic behind these mistakes, and be able to make better-informed decisions as the year goes on.

The mistake categories are:

Ineffective — these mistakes are tactical things that might not be working like they used to, so avoiding these mistakes will save you tons of time
Strategic — these mistakes keep you on a treadmill. While these things might work to get clients, the time and creative resources they gobble up prevent you from building marketing assets that work without you.
Damaging — these mistakes make getting leads from people who would make great clients harder over time. This stuff is simply bad for business.
