contrarian 

Let’s say you’re dissatisfied with the online marketing and sales results you’ve been getting. You want to do something about it. Most people jump right into google when they look to hire an online marketing agency. 

Traditional marketing agency search steps:

1. You compile a short list of the “best marketing agencies” based on your google research. 

2. Ask your peers “who’s good?”

3. Surf the agency websites on your list.
   

What do you typically find?

• Agencies that look the same.

• Act the same. 

• Say the same things.

• Do the same things.

Same “me-too” services and processes. Same bragging about clients who got a 300% increase this month (Ex: their client got 9 leads, while last month they got 3).

Same so-very-cool people who work there (Joe’s a taxidermist! Emily skydives!).

Blog posts loaded with so much jargon and buzzwords that even their authors can’t understand them.

Think about it. If they can’t differentiate themselves, how will they be able to differentiate you?

Contrarians aren’t like their competitors.
