Occasionally, you meet someone and think, “Wow, that person is really going places.” You can see them rising in the ranks of our community’s corporate, political or leadership structure, or rising to a role in a national organization and making waves across the country. That was my reaction when I first heard Tamara Winfrey-Harris speak at a Women’s Fund of Central Indiana event. Her content and presentation style gave the feeling she breathed rarefied air, and we were blessed to be in her presence. There was no arrogance or ego, just the sense that we would all benefit from listening.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and often the best answer to our business needs. But studies show that one in five small businesses fail in their first year of business, and the numbers get worse over time. Many times, those failures happen because business owners are overwhelmed or underprepared to deal with the challenges of financial management, marketing, and labor challenges, especially among minority-owned, women-owned or first-time business owners.

When talking with colleagues or people within a certain industry, we can easily get into a groove, using terms and phrases we’ve mastered or are trending. It can be satisfying and even affirming to speak freely about these relatable and understandable topics. But go outside the bubble and what happens? Confusion, misunderstanding and dissatisfaction.

Now more than ever, prospective employees value transparency and authenticity as they consider where they want to spend their careers. Smart employers recognize that they can and should control their employer brand through their own website, job postings, social media and other channels, but what about channels you can’t control, like Glassdoor?

Have you reached the point of needing to hire an agency? Or, perhaps you already have one, but feel the need to make a change? What do you do now? Conventional thinking might suggest an RFP is the right way to go to find a new agency partner. That’s one way, but not the only way, and it might not reveal what you hope or need, relative to potential partners.

When organizations face turbulent times, historically the first line item to go – and the last to be restored – is marketing. Why? Because it’s often seen as non-essential or less important than other business operations. Statistics show that during the pandemic, “the proportion of company revenue allocated to marketing was cut almost in half, from an average of 11% in 2020 to 6% in 2021,” according to the GartnerCMO Strategic Priorities Survey 2020-2021. Despite the influx of more cost-efficient digital and content tactics to reach customers and attract new ones, external marketing efforts remain on the decline.

“Our goal is to create synergy that will help us pivot to new strategies when we utilize the talent of our right-sized organization while also finding quick wins.”

Wait, what? We’ve all read these things in internal memos or heard them come out of the mouths of leaders. And something happens when we hear these words and phrases used over and over – we check out.
