lose the “g” in “marketin(g)”

Sig’s take on the new mar­ke­ting:

And that for me is the core of the blog as a com­mer­cial “marketin(g)” tool: It allows me much band­width for my person-to-person inte­rac­tions, like ope­ning the door to your office let­ting all into the con­ver­sa­tion and acti­vi­ties.
And I would add the con­cept of “Extreme Busi­ness Mode­lling”: Fre­quent relea­ses, maxi­mum band­width in the con­ver­sa­tion, soli­cit feed­back, lis­ten in, adjust, tweak, learn and follow.
Pull ins­tead of push. “Mar­ket in” ins­tead of “mar­ket to”.
Lose the “g” in “marketin(g)” :)

[Disc­lo­sure: Sig and I work together.]

    I really think that this type of mar­ke­ting approach, which I call “agile mar­ke­ting” has legs. Im going to flesh it out over the next few weeks and see if I cant come up with something inte­res­ting to share.

    Look for­ward to seeing it, Patrick.

    Il mar­ke­ting è morto. Se ne avvede final­mente anche Hugh Gaping Void McLeod: “Mar­ket in” ins­tead of “mar­ket to”.Lose the “g” in “marketin(g)” :)

    That ‘agile’ thing is key. The key to this approach is the abi­lity to opti­mize: that is, launch many things, open many con­ver­sa­tions, then mea­sure, mea­sure and mea­sure. Based on the data, move toward suc­cess. Other­wise, its just chaos, no theory…;-)
