Marketing Study Lab - Actionable Marketing Knowledge: Financial Future with Winnie Sun of the Sun Group Wealth Partners

Hello, I’m the Lego Master of Marketing!

Odd statement to start a profile, but go with it, it’ll make sense.

You know when you have loads of Lego all over the floor and it just looks like one big pile of nothingness. Not only does it look a mess, it’s a pain when you stand on it.

I take these bricks and start to make sense of how they all fit together.

If your marketing feels like a pile of painful Lego, let’s chat and get those building blocks fitting together: peter@marketingstudylab.co.uk

Why is this an issue?

The biggest problem facing todays marketing departments is the severe lack of qualified marketers, which usually happens by accident.

It’s not your fault, this usually happens by accident.

Perhaps there was an immediate need to design a website or create some literature and you needed someone to coordinate this – before you know it, Mark is the new marketing department.

Maybe your business has experienced some rapid growth, expanded and was looking to promote within or Andrea from customer service fancied her hand at marketing and is now in charge of all corporate comms.

Or perhaps your competition is way too active on social media and you feel you need to be present on this platform as well. Get Hayley to post ‘stuff’ – she’s young enough to understand how to do this.

You get the idea!

These circumstances lead to 100s of hours of wasted time and money by focusing on the short-term tactics rather than a long-term strategic approach that will make a difference.

Even worse than this, the misplaced management of employees creates missed business opportunities, leaving money on the table that many didn't even know was there!

Hello, I’m Peter!
I can help with this.

I’ve been there, seen Marketing Departments churning out worthless tactical marketing communications that do nothing but damage a company’s reputation, wasting peoples time and reducing, not building long-term brand value.

I specialise in training programmes that will alter the mind-set of lost / forgotten / unqualified marketer's, by developing the skills needed to confidently create successful, long-term marketing strategies that generate business opportunities.

How is this done? Tell me, tell me now!

Quite simply by removing the pain points and problems than many marketers face as they haven’t had the training or been given the opportunity to develop their marketing skills through;

Strategic Marketing Planning
Professional Marketing Qualifications
Marketing Training Days
Mentoring
Tutoring

Any business that is not benefiting from the opportunities marketing will create is missing out MASSIVELY! The chances are that the marketing tactics that are being deployed focus on pushing the wrong messages of ‘Buy. This. Now’ to the wrong people (who don’t even care you exist), creating minimal awareness and even less success.

Positioning a company through a strategic marketing approach, not only carves out a point of difference for a company to differentiate themselves from the competition, but creates a unique proposition within the marketplace that highlights the problems it helps to fix for those that care enough to seek out this solution. Moving a company from a wasteful and unwanted push strategy to one that creates value where customers will actively gravitate towards this value proposition.

This changes your marketing and the marketing department from being viewed as a cost centre that haemorrhages money, to the department that creates value and saves money in the long-term.

And here’s a little bit of social proof for you:

‘It is refreshing to see someone with a passion for the profession producing such valuable content for others to learn from.’

‘He was genuine and very honest in his approach and it was a pleasure working through this with Peter. An ‘out of the box’ thinker, he enabled me to consider different approaches'.

Happy Marketing
Peter

Intro
This episode is all about finance, which is something that can be a difficult topic to discuss from a business or personal perspective.

So in this episode we’re chatting to Winnie Sun, found of the Sun Group Wealth Partners but more importantly for us, Winne makes money talk relatable.

A contributor for Forbes and having appearances on CNBC, ABC, CBS and Fox Business, Winnie is committed to helping anyone with their finance from those with millions to invest to the smaller $100 savings.

Some of the actionable tips that we discuss are;

- What should we be doing with our money now
- What not to do
- And what we should be doing in times of change or even crisis

Takeaways

- You need to start taking money seriously…. And start talking about it! So many comparisons with going the gym here. You need to be consistent, take it seriously and work on it daily. Don’t expect to know everything as soon as you walk through those financial doors either. Take your time and learn, build and grow.

- Make sure you have a purpose, work out how this can make money and do the back tracking to figure out where to start. You have so much more chance of winning if you are passionate about what you do and what brings the money in.

- And finally, have a plan! But not just one plan, many. In a world where we are told to niche down, go deep and own this space (which is so true), there is no reason you can’t do this for multiple spaces and multiple niches. As Winne said, which is so prevalent to the times we live in, make sure you have a plan B, C, D and E – if plan A isn’t working, you still have 4 plans to fall back on.
