Marketing Means to Amplify Your Product

Hey Reader,

Every day that I’m on Twitter/X, I get cold DMs.

These guys pitching to get more clients, upgrade my sales, and get more leads.

Often it feels like we’re just needing to sell better to sell more.

That marketing is just a numbers game to make more money.

When I look at the backend of their business, there is one number they don’t like to share: their churn rate.

The churn rate is the rate at which clients cancel again.

Most of the big sales gurus seem to focus more on getting new people in the front door.

When they leave their back door completely open, business becomes a numbers game for new sales.

Over the last years, I’ve thought a lot about it too.

When I started, I followed the idea of “build it and they will come.”

I built my product first, and nobody cared.

On the contrary, to sell people first also feels like I’m not building the best product I could.

What I came to conclude:

Marketing is there to amplify your product.

To make your product shine.

But you can’t do marketing without a product!

Your product is the way of helping people to transform their lives.

You need to focus on getting your first clients.

Help them succeed.

Then you have something that your marketing can amplify.

And on the practical side: 50% Product, 50% Marketing.

That’s the best way to go.

Let’s build together for our Families!

  • Follow your passion or not?

    Hey Reader, The advice to follow your passion has been talked about for many years. Recently, everybody started to talk about Ikigai. It’s a Japanese concept with four sections. The idea is to help you narrow down what you should do. It evaluates whether you’re good at it, whether others demand it, the market, and whether you have passion for it. All good things. There is one challenge though. On paper, it makes everything sound good. When I started out, I talked about fatherhood—because it’s…

    Reflections on my 29th Birthday 10 years ago I made a decision. The decision was to study forestry.

The biggest joy of those years has definitely been that I could marry my beautiful wife. Second to that is the birth of our son. This makes me now responsible for my family. I could also learn a lot about…
