So how do you hone in your marketing efforts to really speak to your niche?
In this episode of Marketing Made Simple's Getting Unstuck series, hosts Dr. JJ Peterson and April Sunshine Hawkins chat with Paula Larsson, owner of Uncomfortable Oxford, a company that offers unique walking tours in the UK.

Too many businesses, whether large or small, established or new, make the mistake of leading with their own story. In other words, they’re trying to tell their audience all about what makes their business so great — and then they’re confused when their audience reacts with a shrug and says, “I don’t care.” How can businesses reach new customers when “I don’t care” is the prevailing mindset?
StoryBrand and Marketing Made Simple help you answer that question. On the podcast today, hosts Dr. J.J. Peterson and April Sunshine Hawkins are continuing their series of discussions with veteran StoryBrand Certified Guides. Today’s guest is Jessie Congleton, certified since 2016, and she helps us with key insights into what customers want to read in your marketing copy. What should you consider about your audience before you start writing? What should you lead with in your copy? What is the biggest mistake companies (of all sizes) make when writing marketing copy? With answers to these questions and more, Jessie illuminates how to write marketing that makes customers care.

It’s hard to do creative work when you feel burned out and spread thin. But for many talented people, this is exactly what happens. You’re good at what you do, so more and more people seek you out.

By investing in his mental health, getting honest about his personal values, and aligning his business with his life goals, Will rebuilt a career and life he truly loves. If you’ve ever felt like you’re on the edge of burnout, this episode is for you. Listen to this heartfelt conversation now.

Why does talking about your business sometimes feel like explaining rocket science to a 5-year-old?

You’ll learn how to simplify your message in a way that puts your customer right at the heart of your story. Listen in and find out how to craft a one-liner that will transform your marketing efforts, making them more understandable and engaging for everyone!

Most people wouldn't accept a marriage proposal on the first date. They want to get to know the person before making a commitment. In the same way, customers don't like it when a business quickly tries to sell something right after meeting them.

So when is the right time to make a sales pitch so that your customers feel comfortable and keep coming back?
In today’s episode, J.J. and April talk with special guest Mehrab Reza, a StoryBrand Certified Guide and the owner of Adlantica Agency.

In most businesses, there’s a major disconnect between the sales and marketing teams—and this is a problem. Why? Because the sales team is out on the front lines every day, hearing about the desires, objections, and concerns of potential buyers. And when there's no communication between the sales team, who knows what the customers want, and the marketing team, who tries to get the customers' attention, it can result in weak marketing efforts and underwhelming revenue. So how can you close this gap between sales and marketing to create stronger, more successful marketing strategies?
In this week’s episode, Schell Gower, a StoryBrand Certified Guide and fractional CMO with over 20 years of experience in sales and marketing, joins hosts Dr. J.J. Peterson and April Sunshine Hawkins. Schell explores how to get sales and marketing teams talking effectively. You’ll learn how fluid communication not only closes the gap between marketing's assumptions and sales' real experiences but also greatly improves marketing results. Listen in and get practical tips to make sure these two key areas are working together to drive growth.

Everyone procrastinates. It’s a thing. These days, people have more and more tasks to accomplish, while the days seem to get shorter and shorter—so putting things off is a natural end result. But delayed action often leads to inaction. And when your customers keep delaying the decision to purchase your product—sometimes indefinitely—it costs you money. So what can we do to light a fire under the leads who are dragging their feet?
In this episode of Marketing Made Simple, J.J. and April are chatting with special guest Josh Cantrell, a StoryBrand Certified Guide and a B2B marketing pro. Josh answers the question: “What is one thing you’ve learned that has changed the way you do marketing?“ He reveals the importance of creating a sense of urgency in marketing, how to make your customers more responsive, and the direct response strategies that can do just that. Listen in and discover how to inspire procrastinating customers to finally take action!
