Red Flags: When Your eyes Are Deceiving you

Fellow Duct Tape Marketing Coach Liz Walker had some great comments on her blog the other day here are the highlights:

What’s a Red Flag? It’s a belief our client is basing decisions on, which we have learned time and time again may not be accurate.

  1. I need to spend time with all our customers.
  2. We don’t track our advertising response.
  3. Word of mouth is our best business-builder.

Heard any Red Flags at your business lately?

The entire post is a short but good read. My take is that without a plan in place seldom does any of these Red Flags get corrected. It is hard to break old habits in anything you do, let alone what an organization does.
