The Rose & Rockstar: Just Say No!
This week in The Rose and Rockstar, over a fabulous cocktail, Ian and Robert discuss the power of saying no in marketing.
Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, fractional marketing leader and author, Robert Rose behind the bar serving a wonderful weekend cocktail while our host Ian Truscott picks his brain on a marketing topic.
This week, Ian challenges Robert on his claim in the Content Marketing Institute newsletter that saying “no” is a marketer's superpower. It sounds easy, but in reality, it can make you very uncomfortable - so how do you really say no, and why is it important you do?
Key points:
- In marketing, we often focus on what to start, not what to stop
- It's important to permit ourselves to say no, to focus better, and be productive
- Saying no can help us excel rather than be average
- Examples of Robert’s clients doing this
- Advice for how to set the stage for saying “no”
