Takeaways

• You want to make sure that both your sales and marketing are aligned in all aspects of your company. 
• For marketing, set goals each month on what your marketing message to be and then see how sales can relate to that.
• Use people’s emotions to your advantage in marketing. There is enough negative in the world so try and supply people with hope. 
• There is a search for authenticity right now in terms of marketing as people prefer being authentic over a sales pitch.
• A fractional professional can help things move faster in a company as they are being paid to come in and provide their services.
• It’s the job of a fractional professional to help the company be strong, they are not there to talk people’s jobs or run the company. 
• You want to be aligned with the company on a personal and cultural level to work with them. It makes it difficult to work together if you don’t align on your values.
