Uncle Marv welcomes back Tim Fitzpatrick from Rialto Marketing to discuss the importance of having a strategic marketing plan before diving into tactics. Tim emphasizes the need to identify your ideal clients by asking three key questions: who do you love working with, who are your most profitable clients, and which clients are you getting the best results for? He then provides a step-by-step process for defining your target market, including analyzing demographics, psychographics, and market viability. The conversation also touches on using AI tools like Perplexity to research where your ideal clients congregate online and offline.
