Welcome to Episode 146 of Building My Legacy.

In this podcast, we talk with entrepreneur/business owner Tim Fitzpatrick about why you don’t have to overcomplicate marketing for it to be successful. Tim shares with us his own journey from operating a wholesale distribution company to residential real estate to his current business, Rialto Marketing, which helps service businesses simplify marketing so they can grow with less stress. If your current marketing efforts aren’t delivering the results you need — or you’re not sure how to get started marketing a new business — our discussion with Tim is a great place to start.

So if you want to know:

  • How the fundamentals of marketing can be boiled down to “the marketing strategy trilogy”
  • Why most businesses should target one to three ideal client types — and how to identify them
  • The importance of using a storytelling framework for your marketing message
  • About the mistake of talking too much about your business — and not enough about what you can do for your potential customers
  • Why a 90-day marketing plan makes the most sense for any business
  • How to choose a marketing partner
