I start up marketing at startups using the MaaS Method | host of Modern Startup Marketing podcast

Most early stage startups face the same problem: 

People who need your product don’t understand what it is or why it matters, so they end up not caring.

Why?

We stuff our websites with business jargon to sound like we know what we're doing. We assume we know our customers and how to talk to them about our differentiating value. We end up over-explaining what the product can do (company-focused) instead of what problem it solves (buyer-focused).

And as the company grows, the focus moves further away from customers and more towards building the product and sales activities. As a founder, you FEEL like you've gotten plenty of customer signal already.

Big mistake.

The most successful startups are *obsessed* with their customers.

We are dismissing our customers, yet customers are the key to unlocking the next round of growth for our company. They bought your product when nobody else would. Do you know what makes them unique and what motivated them to buy?

A superficial understanding of your customers causes buyer indifference, team frustration, and slow growth. I help solve these problems by conducting and analyzing customer conversations to create positioning and messaging your buyers will understand and act on.

So you get:

👉 deeper engagement with customers and prospects
👉 consistent, memorable messaging
👉 increased inbound to demos
👉 better sales conversations
👉 differentiated positioning
👉 increased word of mouth
👉 closed deals

I currently manage 454 Linkedin ads campaigns

No joke, 454 campaigns.

And outside of some very specific use cases, I rarely use maximum delivery (As you shouldn’t)

It's all manual bidding.

All of it.

I hate it so much, but that's what needs to happen so costs don’t get out of control and performance doesn’t flop

I hate it, I spend way too much time on it but it is a must for Linkedin ads performance.

Luckily, all I do is Linkedin ads

An in-house marketer or someone running paid media across multiple channels, you don’t have time to manage every campaign 

Having audited 1,000+ accounts over the years, that’s exactly what is happening 😬

So when I heard about Vector's new bid agent, I had to see it for myself.

It’s a new feature from Vector 👻  that automates manual bidding on LinkedIn.

It works by:

👉Replacing Max Delivery with Manual Bidding….This alone saves you unfathomable amounts of money 

👉Automates bid adjustments up to every 15 minutes

👉Adjusts budgets dynamically on a weekly pacing model…Don’t get me started on budget pacing

👉Runs a 3-day baseline period before activating optimization

Most importantly, with the goal of maximizing outcomes per dollar (not just to minimize spend).

And the results they’re seeing so far speak for themselves.

 It is definitely worth checking out —> https://lnkd.in/gmhm3J45

No brainer for anyone who wants to save money on LinkedIn ads while getting better results and/or save time (Which should be everyone running Linkedin ads 😁)
