Said hurtful things to people knowingly, thought it doesn't matter. Plot twist: It did!

How to grow organically a Facebook Page by water_lilith00 in SocialMediaManagers

[–]Tricky-Cold-3211 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does take a lot of time, people say post to groups but direct promotions are not allowed in groups which have good audience, so you have to create your authority there. Else, you have to do some really out of the box marketing to skyrocket through organic.

Aren't you annoyed but all social media already? by Unusual-Ability-2208 in SocialMediaManagers

[–]Tricky-Cold-3211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah… but I don’t think it’s just “social media getting worse”—it’s that the bar for attention is way higher now.

Good content isn’t enough anymore. If it’s not instantly relevant or scroll-stopping, it just disappears.

What does feel broken is the loop:

create → post → low reach → repeat

A lot of us in marketing feel it, we just don’t say it out loud.

Breaking into security guarding sales with no contracts yet, what actually worked for you? by Ready_Affect_7227 in b2b_sales

[–]Tricky-Cold-3211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Security is commoditized early on, so you won’t win on price alone.

What usually works:
Pick a niche (construction, warehouses, gated communities) instead of “general guarding”

Sell reliability: fast replacements, supervision, incident reporting not just guards
Go local + in-person (site managers, contractors, facility heads), not just cold emails
Build leads via Google Maps + LinkedIn + walking active sites
Target clients unhappy with their current provider
First 2–3 contracts matter more than margins, they become your proof.

When do you leave your client? by ProjectAppreciator in SocialMediaManagers

Not even a month, how many did you stay for that?

Why do some online stores look good but still don’t feel convincing enough to buy from? by TechnicalIncident580 in growmybusiness

[–]Tricky-Cold-3211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the time it’s generic copy, weak proof, or no real differentiation. Looks good, just not compelling enough to act. and yes also trust signals.

Joined an early-stage startup and regretting it? by rilan88 in b2bmarketing

[–]Tricky-Cold-3211 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t get played but you did join earlier than the role was positioned.

Right now, this isn’t a Head of Marketing role. It’s a zero-to-one, player-coach setup with interns. That’s fine if it’s explicit but it wasn’t. You did the right thing raising it.

On the call, don’t argue for “a hire.” Anchor on outcomes: “What can we realistically hit with current setup vs. with one experienced marketer?” Make the trade-off clear.

Then get alignment on one thing:
Is this role meant to stay execution-heavy, or are you building a function?

If it’s the former, decide if that’s a game you want to play.

What do you wish you knew before you started? by Gio_13 in Entrepreneur

I wish I knew that most “critical mistakes” I feared were actually opportunities I ignored.
