The Knowledge Base
Self-Help
Be careful saving time.
I stopped watching football about four years ago. Felt good knowing I’d never again waste 10-14 hours on a Sunday staring at a TV.
However, some of my TV viewing time swapped to YouTube and the gridiron of nasty politics. These slobber knockers have levels of vitriol that woulda made Deacon Jones flinch! I don’t waste entire Sundays watching political YT clips, but whatever amount of time weekly I do watch… is a 100% waste of my time.
Facts & Stats
Leads… 44% of sales reps complain about lead quality, 39% about readiness to buy, & 37% about inability to contact (Verse) | Ear Ads… 86% of consumers recall podcast ads more than any other channel (Basis Technologies 2023) | Old School… 82% of consumers still use print ads when deciding what to buy (SocialShepherd) |
Bonus: B2B companies that ______ generate 67% more leads than those that don’t. Answer here.
❌What email marketers don’t need
Email sign-up forms. They don’t work on today’s distracted web surfers.
Collect email addresses the new way via Smart Recognition’s identity resolution. Major corporations use identity resolution for faster email list growth. Household brands use it, so it is CAN-SPAM compliant and effective.
Time to give up on ineffective sign-up forms and 10x your email list growth with a free demo of Smart Recognition.
Add these addresses to your network audiences too! *Need 15k in monthly US-based traffic. Book your free demo.

A specific strategy to implement today
I wrote about cross-selling and upselling a while back. To add to that, it’s not always obvious what might entice customers/clients to spend more.
Even when you know your audience well, blind spots remain.
Examples — most people assume no one still writes paper checks, only oddballs buy vinyl records, and digital calendars put printed planners out of business. Those assumptions are wrong (proof below) and many more are too. Perhaps that opens up extra opportunities to upsell and cross-sell items/services you’ve not considered?
In 2022 and 2023, vinyl records outsold CDs
Many businesses and organizations (e.g., contractors, charities, churches) take a quarter of their payments/donations via check
Appointment books and paper planners sales are roughly $342.7 million (Statista)
