Today I want you to learn from Thomas Barta, a former McKinsey partner who has trained CMO’s and marketing specialists around the world to get in the value creation zone by adjusting their language and making customer focus their top priority. His advice? Cut it out with all the marketing lingo, and for the love of increased revenue, stop using the word “Bingo.”
Thomas told me that there’s this big disparity between c-suite executives and CMO’s, claiming that c-suite execs, for the most part, don’t think that marketing has ANY real value. I was shocked! Turns out that the buzzword-rich language marketers speak is actually causing them to lose credibility with the c-suite, and making their efforts appear as cost rather than revenue.
What a notion! But the crazy part is that it’s true.
Today on My Quest for the Best, we’re sharing our revenue with the poignant Thomas Barta, who explains why you should save your marketing speech for the marketers.
