The Wikipedia page on tariffs:

"There is near unanimous consensus among economists that tariffs are self-defeating and have a negative effect on economic growth and economic welfare, while free trade and the reduction of trade barriers has a positive effect on economic growth."

"Near anonymous."

I am coaching a new student recruiter in our universtity marketing team.

The one tip that helped her the most:
"Don't talk about study programmes.
Ask about the student's ambitions."

People LOVE talking about themselves.

Grant them that, and they practically recruit themselves.

Almost all startups I help, make one crucial mistake in their marketing approach: their happy clients are invisible.

How to fix it:

- share testimonials
- show before and after
- help them create user generated content
(and engage with it, to boost it to people like them)

What would you add?

I am considering starting a newsletter, on marketing / GTM strategy (for startups).

Any founders reading this - What's your biggest challenge with GTM / marketing right now?

🏗️ Think of marketing like building a foundation:

It's not glamorous.
It's not instant.
But it's what supports everything else.

• Sustainable growth
• Attracts investors
• Brings customers back

Build for the long term - and let your footprint compound.

The single best gift I ever got: a cold plunge pod. So hard, so addictive, so beneficial. Try it.
