How to Get Leads Consistently (without Boredom) Ep 156

In a discussion about effective marketing strategies, the speaker emphasizes the importance of consistency and understanding the unchanging core desires of the target audience. Using analogies from Henry Ford's advertising approach and the news industry, the speaker, whose identity isn't disclosed, illustrates that while marketers may tire of their own content, the audience is often experiencing it for the first time. The key to successful advertising is to identify "message buckets" that resonate with the audience and to craft stories within those themes. Personal elements in these stories make them relatable and credible, which is essential for converting ads into leads. The secondary speaker, presumably the host, briefly promotes their book "100 Million Dollar Offers" as a valuable resource for the listeners.

• Speaker A emphasizes the importance of consistent marketing and knowing that ads will convert.
• The marketing team experiences fatigue from creating similar ads repeatedly.
• There's a desire to innovate and create new content, but it's important to remember that the core desires of the target audience (avatar) do not change.
• Speaker A provides two analogies to illustrate the concept of marketing consistency.

What's going on, everyone? Happy Friday. Hope you guys are having a fantastic Friday. I wanted to make this because I literally just got off the call with my marketing team, and I just gave these two analogies, and I thought they're really good about how to consistently market and always know that your ads are going to convert.

The speaker introduces the topic of marketing consistency and sets the stage for the analogies that will be used to illustrate the importance of maintaining consistent messaging in advertising.

• Henry Ford repeatedly sees the same marketing campaigns, leading to his own fatigue.
• The Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) reveals that the ads Ford is tired of have not yet run, highlighting the difference between the company's and the audience's exposure to the ads.
• The story underscores that while the marketing team may see an ad multiple times, for the audience it may still be their first time.

So Henry Ford was, like, going past his marketing department over and over and over again for months after months, or looking at these marketing camps, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? And so finally, five months in, he looks at his CMO and he's got this banner, this ad of like, a Ford car, whatever. He's like, hey, man, when are we going to stop running that? I'm really getting tired of that ad. And the CMO was like, we haven't run it yet.

The quote illustrates the disconnect between the frequency with which a marketing team views an ad and the fresh perspective of the audience. The marketing team's fatigue does not reflect the audience's exposure or potential fatigue.

• The news industry is cited as an expert in capturing attention and selling ads.
• News content does not fundamentally change; only the people and specific events change.
• Negative stories often dominate because they attract more attention.
• Marketing should follow a similar pattern, where the core messaging remains the same even if the specific content or presentation changes.

Story two, the easiest way that you can see this is with news, right? So think about the news, right? They are kings and queens of capturing attention. That is what they have done, right? That's all they did is they capture attention. They sell ads. That's how the news networks work, right? That's their programming is news. But what's interesting, and I love this saying, is that news does not change. Only the people, as in, only the people in the stories change.

The quote highlights the news industry's approach to content, where the fundamental types of stories remain constant, but the subjects change. This approach can be applied to marketing, where the underlying desires and messaging stay the same while the superficial elements are updated.

• The desires of the target audience do not change over time.
• Marketing messaging should remain consistent to align with these unchanging desires.
• Creative innovation in advertising should not lead to a shift in the core messaging.

Because the desires of your avatar don't change. The desires don't change, right? And the messaging shouldn't change either.

This quote reinforces the idea that despite creative teams wanting to innovate, the fundamental desires of the audience and the core messaging in marketing should remain consistent to ensure continued engagement and conversion.

• The challenge in business is maintaining consistency, which can be difficult because humans naturally seek variety.
• Businesses must resist the urge to change their messaging just because they are bored with it.
• Consistency is key to reaching a wider audience since most people are still unaware of a brand, even as it grows.

"The biggest and hardest part about business is being boring and consistent because it's hard because humans get bored."

This quote emphasizes the importance of consistency in branding and marketing, highlighting the difficulty due to the human tendency to seek novelty.

• It's crucial to understand that the customer's desires and expectations remain constant.
• The marketing strategies should not be altered based on the marketer's boredom but should be focused on what the audience wants to see.

"And so you do not need to become more creative."

This quote suggests that creativity in marketing should not come at the expense of straying from what the audience finds engaging and relevant.

• Identifying core messages that resonate with the target audience is essential for successful advertising.
• Marketers should categorize these messages into "buckets" that consistently generate interest and engagement.

"The secret to making great ads consistently is to bucket out the messaging that works the best."

The quote explains the strategy of organizing effective messaging into categories that can be repeatedly used to capture the audience's attention.

• Testimonials and visuals of successful outcomes, like a gym owner hitting seven figures, are powerful tools for engagement.
• Using various formats such as images, videos, short clips, and long clips can cater to different audience preferences.

"When I show a gym owner who hits seven figures, that is something that people click on."

This quote highlights the effectiveness of success stories in marketing, particularly when they align with the audience's aspirations or interests.

• Analyzing past ads to determine which ones performed best can inform future content creation.
• Replicating the core message with new stories or visuals keeps the content fresh while maintaining the proven messaging strategy.

"I'd pull three or four ads up and I'd see the copy and I'd see the image and I'd be like, cool, what's another story that does the exact same thing?"

The quote illustrates the process of leveraging successful past ads to create new content that echoes the same message but with updated elements.

• Marketers should act like reporters by seeking out stories that fit the established messaging buckets.
• It is important to find narratives that align with what the audience responds to, ensuring the marketing remains effective.

"What you need to do is act like a reporter and go out and find the story."

This quote underscores the marketer's responsibility to actively search for compelling stories that fit within the established messaging framework to engage the target audience.

And that was the problem before and the problem afterwards is that now they got the full treatment and they have the pump and they're good. They don't need it anymore, right? So there's the before and after. That's flavorful. That adds the personal element to the story.

• When messaging is off, it leads to irrelevant and unimportant content for the audience.
• A well-crafted promise is essential, but the personal element differentiates a mediocre ad from an excellent one.
• Relatable pain and transformation in a story can lead to a highly successful ad.

And the thing is, the pain that you outline in the story will bring about people who resonate with that pain. So for example, everyone wants to make more money, everyone would like to work less. Everyone wants to scale a business, be in love. Everyone has these core desires. Everyone wants to have more status.

This quote discusses the universal desires that connect individuals and how addressing these in a story with personal elements can draw in an audience that shares similar pain points or aspirations.
