Kennedy emphasizes the importance of active marketing, which involves meeting customers and vendors in person and building relationships. He highlights the effectiveness of active marketing in acquiring new customers, particularly in business-to-business and relationship-based selling. Kennedy also acknowledges the role of passive marketing, such as social media advertising and website promotion, but emphasizes that its main purpose is not to acquire new customers. He shares a personal experience of a business owner who invested a large sum of money in passive marketing but did not see any return on investment. Kennedy concludes by encouraging listeners to focus on active marketing to drive business growth.
In the episode, Kennedy also expresses his gratitude for the support and feedback he has received from listeners. He mentions his interaction with Solace Safety, a company he has been working with, and celebrates their progress. Kennedy mentions the value of face-to-face introductions and emphasizes the importance of consistent active marketing strategies. He emphasizes that active marketing is more effective in reaching out to potential customers and building relationships, as opposed to passive marketing strategies that rely on customers coming to the business independently. Kennedy encourages listeners to consider their current marketing strategies and explore the benefits of active marketing for their businesses.
