In today's episode, you will learn how the most charismatic and no-nonsense consultant in the tech marketing space has built a 7-figure business, flying solo. The story goes like this.


On December 15, 2017, an email from a Canadian friend landed in my inbox, “If you're looking for suggestions for upcoming interviews, have you looked into April Dunford? She's a marketing executive who's now focusing on consulting practice and positioning for startups. At every conference I've heard her speak at, she has literally blown everyone else out of the water. She's got a unique mix of saucy wit and laser-sharp insight honed over years with the big boys of the tech space. And I think her communication style would lend itself well to your approach to interviews.


And so I did interview her. Twice. Then, I watched from the sidelines as April rose to the top of the B2B marketing world.


But I never got to ask the questions I REALLY wanted to ask her… Mainly: “How did you do it? How did you become the most famous B2B marketing expert in less than five years?”


Until today…

Topics Covered:

  • (00:00) - Intro
  • (04:09) - Starting a business on the right note
  • (04:53) - April’s journey to positioning consulting
  • (13:24) - Scattered engagements, impact concerns, and a beachside epiphany
  • (14:04) - April's ultimate business aspirations - best work, good people, fair compensation.
  • (15:42) - Shifting focus and finding prowess in positioning
  • (16:31) - Tips for identifying unique skill set and honing specialisation
  • (19:45) - Refining engagements, focusing on B2B, and vetting potential clients.
  • (25:04) - Methodology over execution, simplifying messaging, and speeding time-to-value
  • (34:04) - Expanding reach via public speaking, social media, and the release of a game-changing book
  • (40:04) - How April transformed her client base from smaller startups to pre-IPO companies

I chat with Vicky Quinn Fraser about the vital role of human creativity in writing, even in an AI-dominated world. Vicky emphasizes the significance of micro books, going beyond short-lived blog posts and offering an in-depth exploration of ideas. She shares her belief that a good book should challenge readers' thoughts and offer fresh perspectives. She believes writing isn't about perfection, but starting, accepting initial drafts, and improving over time.

This is not your typical writing 101 - it's a heart-to-heart about the art and soul that AI just can't touch.

  • (25:05) - Chapter 9
  • (31:55) - How long does it take to write a book? If you've got 20 minutes a day, you can write a book
  • (33:30) - Step 4: What to do once your first draft is done
  • (34:49) - Step 5: Editing your book
  • (36:18) - Step 6: The group of people who must read your draft, especially when you can't afford an editor
  • (38:36) - The 10-minute trick to handle "harsh" feedback

Why are so many marketers bad at marketing themselves?

This episode of the podcast tackles an issue most entrepreneurs face at some point: the art of self-promotion.

When it comes to marketing ourselves we get uncomfortable. Nobody wants to be another asshole selling our products or services online. That’s why when I came across Margo Aaron’s website, I knew I had to get her on the podcast.

She’s a copywriter who fell into marketing by accident after beginning her career in psychological research. If you’ve ever felt guilty about marketing, not giving your hustle enough time or self-promotion--I think you’re going to gain a lot from this interview.


Topics covered:

  • Why most entrepreneurs are lying about their 80-hour work week
  • The reason why so many marketers struggle to market themselves well
  • What you must do to avoid becoming an annoying marketer
  • The easiest solution for identifying what problems you solve for your audience
  • How to understand market sophistication (and why it’s a huge advantage)
  • What questions to ask your customers to find out their deepest desires
  • Why competing on price alone won’t build a profitable business
  • How to write a message that resonates with your audience

Who is Joanna Wiebe?

Joanna Wiebe is the original conversion copywriter. She’s the co-founder of Copyhackers and Airstory.co, and she’s written for companies like Wistia, Buffer, Crazy Egg, Shopify, and more.If you’ve ever struggled to write copy for your landing page, you’ll want to learn from Joanna. Tune into our interview for her step-by-step guide to better customer research, more authentic writing, and increased conversions for your business.

What is Copy Hackers?

Copy Hackers is where startups and marketers go to learn how to write persuasive website and email copy. Joanna teaches all things copywriting, growth marketing, and how to run a profitable freelancing business.

Topics covered:

3 Steps to Writing Copy That Converts

Conversion copywriting is about moving somebody to take action. Your role is to convince someone to say yes to your offer—whether it’s buying your product, signing up for your email list, or clicking a link to read your latest blog post.

According to Joanna Wiebe, it’s all about getting inside people’s heads.The difference between writing persuasive copy and “meh” copy is how much you focus on your audience. You should be thinking about your audience the entire time you’re writing copy. It’s not about the words you would use to describe your product.What words does your audience use?

How do they talk about what you’re selling? Writing copy that converts means you find out how your prospects talk about their objections, their problems, and what they’re going through in life. You find those words and phrases in your research—and put them into a framework that’s designed to make people say yes.In this interview, Joanne walks you through all three steps in detail.

‍Step 1:

The best copywriting starts with research and discovery.In fact, this is the most significant part of the entire process. It’s simple. Start with customer interviews and zero in on the parts you hear that are interesting. What are the things that make you pause and take notice?When you’re really looking for messages and the order you want to put them in.If you can’t do one-on-one customer interviews, you can send out surveys or dig into a process Joanna calls review mining. The point is, you’re never starting from scratch when it comes to copy. You’re just organizing raw, voice-of-customer data.

Step 2:

How do you organize your messages on the page?In this step, Joanna shares the frameworks she uses to pull the copy together. Her favorite is PAS, or Problem, Solve, Agitate. This method opens with the problem that’s being solved—and agitates it so your reader really feels these pain points.If there’s no major pain point, you can turn the classic framework AIDA. It stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. You start organizing messages based on what will grab your reader’s attention.

Step 3:

The final step is editing. This is where you sweep through your messaging and edit it to prepare for AB testing. All you’re doing is taking the clunky voice-of-customer data and making sure it sounds smooth (but still sticky).In this interview, Joanna reveals her process called The Seven Sweeps. You’ll learn the 7-step framework for executing a fast-moving copy review, so you can edit quickly and confidently.

"How do you make people instantly understand what you do? How to become an authority in my field? How to create content that doesn't sound like everyone else? How to stand out as a job candidate? How to stand out from massive competition?"

You should be thinking about your audience the entire time you’re writing copy. It’s not about the words you would use to describe your product.What words does your audience use?

How do they talk about what you’re selling? Writing copy that converts means you find out how your prospects talk about their objections, their problems, and what they’re going through in life. You find those words and phrases in your research—and put them into a framework that’s designed to make people say yes.In this interview, Joanne walks you through all three steps in detail.

‍Step 1:

The best copywriting starts with research and discovery.In fact, this is the most significant part of the entire process. It’s simple. Start with customer interviews and zero in on the parts you hear that are interesting. What are the things that make you pause and take notice?When you’re really looking for messages and the order you want to put them in.If you can’t do one-on-one customer interviews, you can send out surveys or dig into a process Joanna calls review mining. The point is, you’re never starting from scratch when it comes to copy. You’re just organizing raw, voice-of-customer data.

Step 2:

How do you organize your messages on the page?In this step, Joanna shares the frameworks she uses to pull the copy together. Her favorite is PAS, or Problem, Solve, Agitate. This method opens with the problem that’s being solved—and agitates it so your reader really feels these pain points.If there’s no major pain point, you can turn the classic framework AIDA. It stands for Attention, Interest, Desire, and Action. You start organizing messages based on what will grab your reader’s attention.

Step 3:

The final step is editing. This is where you sweep through your messaging and edit it to prepare for AB testing. All you’re doing is taking the clunky voice-of-customer data and making sure it sounds smooth (but still sticky).In this interview, Joanna reveals her process called The Seven Sweeps. You’ll learn the 7-step framework for executing a fast-moving copy review, so you can edit quickly and confidently.

What is marketing psychology?

When it comes to digital marketing it's easy to drown ourselves in endless data analytics, campaign results, and market research. But marketing boils down to one thing only--humans. Marketing psychology is the study of consumer psychology and the reasoning behind why we make decisions.

Who is Richard Shotton?

My guest today is Richard Shotton, the author of The Choice Factory: 25 Behavioral Biases That Influence What We Buy. He's also the head of behavioral science for Manning Gottlieb OMD, the #1 advertising agency in Europe.

Topics covered:

5 Little-Known Facts About Consumer Behavior

  1. Pratfall Effect: If you can admit a weakness or flaw, you become more appealing to your audience.
  2. Confirmation Bias: We're very good at maintaining our existing point of view.
  3. Our Habits: You can persuade people in the moments when their habits become destabilized.
  4. Brand Purpose: Not every company needs to have have a higher purpose beyond profit.
  5. Personalization: Don’t apply it to such a degree that you lose the essence of your brand.

The Pratfall Effect

The pratfall effect is a counter-intuitive idea that was first discussed by Eliott Aronson, a professor of psychology at Harvard in the 1960s. According to this theory, you become more appealing after you admit a weakness or you exhibit a flaw.In marketing, this applies because one of the biggest issues we face is that people don't trust brands. Once you’ve admitted a flaw, you're demonstrating your honesty and the rest of your claims suddenly become more believable.


Confirmation Bias

Our brain instinctively resist new information due to confirmation bias. As Richard Shotton explains, if you already dislike a brand, your brain will continue to come up with counter arguments to maintain its existing point of view. You can counteract this in marketing by reaching your audience at moments of distraction, because they’re potentially persuadable at this point. And you can do this by thinking about the body language and the tone of your advertising.

Our Habits

What are the moments when people’s habits become destabilized? According to consumer psychology, we can encourage people to buy our products during major life events. Richard Shotton conducted research where he discovered that people are 2-3 times more likely to try a new brand after undergoing a life event.These life events can include getting married, divorced, retiring, moving, having your first child, or starting a new job. These are when our habits are in flux and we're open to buying new products to fit these changes.


Brand Purpose

There’s a current trend in marketing at the moment where companies are trying to find a single way of answering briefs. This can go wrong in a lot ways. Because the problems that your target market will face are varied -- and one solution is impossible.Richard explains brand purpose as an example. In some circumstances, brands should have a higher order beyond profit but it can also lead to the wrong approach if you try to apply purpose to everything. Remember the infamous Pepsi protest campaign? That's proof on how this tactic can fail.


Personalization

If you take personalization in marketing too far, there can be huge implications. In this interview, Richard shares a theory from Kevin Simler that explains the value of a brand is in it’s shared cultural meaning.If you're targeting your audience with different messages it can be great in the beginning. However, eventually people will overhear those messages and understand that your brand actually stands for nothing.
