My special guest today is Sabine Harnau and she is simplifying how to eliminate NOISE in your business communications.
We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:
- Why it’s a good idea to optimize your business communications for conversion…it’s more nuanced than just increasing your sales.
- How to identify what constitutes as NOISE in your business right now and how to begin to eliminate it
- What the process is to define your goals & objectives for your brand… why starting with WHO might be better than starting with WHY
- How to get alignment inside your team on how you explain what your brand is and does
- …and ultimately, we talked about how there are things that small businesses forget when it comes to business communications vs. bigger corporate brands – what they are and how to avoid the same pitfalls.
