Why Now is the time to Crush It!

Crush ItAs many of you know, I LOVE sales and marketing books.  At the moment I reading Gary Vaynerchuk’s “Crush It!”  A great little book that if nothing else will motivate you to look rather harshly at how you are marketing your company.  Are your efforts tepid and weak at best?  Does your website suck, do you blog to add new content and create interest?  Are you passionate about what you do?

Here’s a video blog by Gary–you can see his passion.  Oh, and by the way, his marketing tactics that employ Social Media (yeah, that social media that you’ve shunned), have taken his family’s wine business in New Jersey Wine Library from $4 mil per year in revenue to $50 mil…I would like that too!  Wow!

Get Crush It! and read it quickly…it’s a small book and only about 150 pages.

You owe it to yourself, your family and your business to understand what you can do now, yes in this terrible economy, to explode your business, while people are busy saying you can’t.

Note, this is no get rich quick scheme, it’s just a lesson in how to begin to utilize the platforms that are out there, and are free, that you probably have not used.

Get passionate!

    Thanks for your ebullient passing on of this book. I appreciate the author’s serious yet informal tone as manifest in the video. I’m all for making the seemingly high brow (in my world, art) accessible, and (like Vaynerchuk) rarely pass up the chance to use the word “viscosity.” The JETS spit bucket adds a special je ne sais quoi…

    To answer a few of your questions: yes, my website sucks, and will at least until I can amortize — as you say further down — a better one, but I am passionate about what I do!

    Cheers (swish, spit).

    I find it refreshing to hear someone else say in plain English that, hey, you can do better with your business, use the tools that are out there, but it also take a lot of hard work. Very refreshing!

Customer Testimonials

Preston cold-called me about redesigning our website; we had never gotten anywhere with our old site and our website designer never delivered what he promised. With our Webvantix site we are getting calls and leads all the time–even from new areas–they always tell me they saw my site! The graphics and artwork are fantastic. Overall, Webvantix did a great job, even better that I had hoped for–Preston even worked to help me get control of my domain. Awesome customer service! — David Mullins, DC Mullins Construction
