The One Thing That is Killing Your Small Business

To be truthful, many things can kill your business.

Poor leadership, low cash flow and revenue, or a PR fiasco.


But there is one thing that I see repeatedly

that is killing small businesses' chances at more business.


COMMUNICATION.


Unclear or poor internal communication between

team members or leaders to team members can hurt a business.


Ineffective or inconsistent external communication between business and customer, or business and the world (PR, marketing or advertising) is what will kill the business.


But why is the communication ineffective and inconsistent?

Because there is no foundation to the communication.


We have to start at the foundation, which is the brand. We have to ensure you are crystal clear about your brand message so that you can confidently share what you do.

YOU MIGHT BE THINKING

What is brand messaging, really?

Brand Messaging is how your brand communicates through words, phrases, and sentences. Just as Brand Design covers all the visual elements of a brand (like a logo, color, fonts, design, photos, video, and graphics), Brand Messaging covers all the written and spoken elements of a brand. It provides you with the words, phrases, and sentences for your marketing, advertising, education, sales, and PR copy.



YOU MIGHT BE THINKING

How do I develop brand messaging?

You first start by identifying your target audience’s problem, your solution, and their success. This provides you with the foundation to choose words, phrases, call-to-action phrases, tone of voice, point of view, description sentences, mission and vision statements, and marketing phrases. When you have those written, you can write and speak with clarity and confidence.

Brand Messaging and communication (verbal or written) does not come naturally to all and takes time to develop for those who are skilled in it. I don’t share this to dishearten you. This might be an area of your business you can’t do on your own.


 




NEED MORE HELP?

If you don’t have a foundation for your brand, you can develop one by taking our new

Brand Message course. After years of developing messaging for clients, I have developed a

course to help you identify and develop your foundation.

This is for the non-writer who decides the tone, voice, personality, and direction of a brand/business.

Once you have completed this course you will have everything you need to share

with a team member, freelancer, contractor, or agency.

Struggling with research-heavy papers? I get it. Academic demands can be overwhelming, especially when handling technical subjects. That’s why many students look for professional guidance. If you’ve ever needed Statistics Dissertation Help you’d know how crucial it is to get structured content that aligns with grading criteria. Always choose someone who understands university guidelines and delivers on time.

Sex doll torsos offer me flexibility without sacrificing comfort, and just like full size sex dolls, they are designed to provide a lifelike experience that feels personal and fulfilling. Whether at home or on the go, I can ensure that my needs are met without the complexity or hassles of a traditional relationship. This sense of independence and control over my own satisfaction can be comforting to many people, especially those who want to experience pleasure without the emotional challenges that sometimes come with human interaction.
