Designing products and then selling them is one of the biggest challenges for startups and entrepreneurs. After all, whatever you create, it has to be something that people care about. It's not easy selling something that solves a non-existent problem.

  • The biggest mistake people make when it comes to designing a product
  • Why less is more in design and marketing
  • Focusing on the core and knowing what it is you stand for
  • How restricting yourself can force you to build a better product
  • Understanding what problem your product needs to solve
  • Is there really a problem that needs solving or a perceived problem
  • Taking an existing problem and solving it in a new way
  • The most important question to ask potential customers
  • Testing results and knowing if something is tangible or not

Joe Glover is the kind of person who gives marketing a good name. While some may be guilty of aggressive marketing and using hacks to get as many members as possible, Joe uses an entirely different approach. He believes in leading with kindness. 

His tagline is Positively Lovely which might sound a bit crazy in the marketing world today, but not does he live by this, he does it with great success and has built a community of over 16,000 people in the UK and the US. I talk to Joe about his beliefs and how it all started with a small meetup.com group.

Topics covered:

  • Examples of a community coming together to lift each other up
  • When is a community not actually a community, just marketing bullshit.
  • Three steps towards creating a community
  • Start by looking at problems in your own life and how to solve them
  • How Joe’s very first meetup.com meet up went.
  • Aligning yourself with people or businesses who have a wide network
  • What did Jow create that was so different to other events?
  • Create something that makes you different and unique
  • The benefits of having a really strong set of values
  • Consider your target market and who you are best equipped to help
  • Avoiding buzzwords in your marketing. Keep it simple.
  • Encouraging word of mouth activity

"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?"

I was so frustrated by empty advice from so-called experts on differentiation that I organized this webinar to help consultants, entrepreneurs, in-house marketers get unstuck and stand out with real, actionable advice tailored to their needs.

  • If you are a small brand, start with your local community
  • The top two mistakes that brands make when dealing with social issues
  • You don’t have to comment on every social issue. Choose your focus and stick to it.
  • How to ensure that every employee is on board with the focus and implements it
  • Why management should be a two way system
  • What do impact KPIs look like for each department in a large company
  • Collaborating with a brand that is focused on the same social issues
