Q: I’m having a hard time figuring out solutions to my business marketing. I’ve tried hiring two marketing firms, but they just can’t deliver and it’s causing me a lot of stress. What can I do to solve my marketing problems?

Yes, it is true. Business is one of the most stressful activities that you can participate in. Sometimes, solving business issues seems like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle. You know there is a right way to conduct business, but figuring out all the right pieces take time, energy, and determination.

In your situation, it seems like these two other marketing companies were not able to solve your marketing issues. How well did you interview them when deciding on a firm to use? Did they over promise and under deliver? You will want to make sure your idea of marketing is on the same page as the firm you use. They should be able to discover the methods that will work for your business. I would recommend trying out one more firm. Make sure you completely understand what they offer and the process they will use to deliver their solution to you. If you still run into the same problems, there’s a much deeper issue…and it’s probably with your business. That will take a completely different type of business consultant to review your business. If you need a business consultant to work with, please email me and I’ll give you a couple of names.
