  Tactics and Strategy  are often ignored or not discussed as if it really means anything. But while the two words may be glossed over, they mean different things, especially in Marketing. And without a doubt, the distinction is crucial.  The S trategy   is the direction towards the goal.   Tactics   are the action taken to support the strategy. Strategy refers to the plan to achieve a goal while the Tactic is how you execute the plan. Marketing is the action a business takes to create eyeballs, attention, and awareness.

    Do You Have A Message So Compelling It Practically Forces Your Prospects to Buy?   You are at the store waiting in line and you strike up a conversation with the person next to you. They ask you "what do you do?" Most people respond by saying “I'm an Attorney”, “I'm a Consultant” or “I'm a Jeweler” or "I'm a Real Estate Agent". Not very compelling is it. Most Business Owners just tell people exactly what they do … not knowing that it is usually the wrong thing to say if you want to peak someone's interest. And that is where a very good Compelling Message comes into play. Or, a very effective Elevator Pitch.   What you need to know … Knowing the right way to position what you do can be the difference between a highly successful business and a mediocre one.   Why you need to know this … The truth is this.
