bissett bullet: what is your forecast?

today’s bissett bullet: “what if i told you that if you boil it all down, marketing is nothing more than forecasting?”

by martin bissett

imagine you have a vertical and horizontal axis labeled probability and consistency.

if you decide to engage in a marketing activity that has a high probability of success, but your efforts are inconsistent, you’ll see a rollercoaster effect.

if you engage in more general activity with a lower probability of success with inconsistent effort, you’ve guessed it, you’ll see little to no results.

that same general form of marketing activity, executed consistently and frequently, by the sheer law of averages will generate a trickle of inquiries.

high consistency and high-probability marketing will bring an influx of new inquiries that can become fee-paying clients for your firm.

today’s to-do:

plot your current marketing activity. what is the highest probability method for your firm that you can commit to carrying out the most consistently?
