SUMMARY:How to Build Unshakable Products and Services with the Product Value Blueprint
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exclusive webinar to learn a proven strategic blueprint that transforms innovative ideas into market-dominating products and services. This workshop introduces attendees to the Product Value Blueprint that helps small business entrepreneurs and startup founders with the essential tools and strategies to build sustainable business ventures that thrive in competitive markets. \nWhat You’ll Discover: \nThis is a 90-minute session delivered in 2 parts. \nPart 1: The Product Value Blueprint is a strategic framework that empowers startup founders\, entrepreneurs\, venture capitalist and accelerators to master four essential dimensions: creating sustainable products with lasting market relevance\, defining their core purpose and driving mission\, and establishing a distinctive brand identity that resonates with target customers. \nThe framework is divided into 3 sections: \n1. Product Value: The core of the framework is Product Value. Four elements (Innovation\, Viability\, Desirability\, and Commercialization) are required to design the “ethereal product” – a product that can be sustainable over time to fight the forces of disruption. \n2. Driving Force: Identifying the product North Star and purpose – identifying the “Why”. \n3. Product Identity: Defining the product identity with branding and positioning\, and how a product should reflect the firm’s “DNA”. \nPart 2: The Ethereal Product. Participants examine real-world examples of startup failures resulting from the absence of one or more crucial product success elements. An Ethereal Product is a product that has all elements of Innovation\, Viability\, Desirability\, and Commercialization working in harmony. \nThis section outlines four Product Archetypes where one or more elements are lacking or eroding. It also describes when an “Ethereal Drift” occurs\, when one or more of the four elements of Innovation\, Viability\, Desirability\, and Commercialization starts to diminish. \nREGISTER NOW \nAbout the Author: \nJulian Dean Morais is a visionary product strategist and technology executive with a track record of delivering multi-million-dollar innovations at some of the world’s most iconic companies\, including Apple\, J.P.

SUMMARY:“7 Marketing Mistakes That Kill Small Business Growth”
DESCRIPTION:Most small businesses don’t have a marketing problem. They have a foundation problem. \nThey’re running ads before they know exactly who they’re selling to. They’re posting content before they can clearly say why someone should choose them over anyone else. They’re spending money and wondering why it isn’t working. \nThis workshop is about the seven mistakes that cause marketing failure. Not tactics you got wrong. Structural problems that make every marketing activity less effective\, no matter how much you spend. \nBrian Talbot walks participants through each mistake using a live self-assessment worksheet. You score your own business in real time\, identify your biggest gaps\, and leave with a clear sequence for what to fix first. \nWHAT ATTENDEES WILL LEARN \n\nWhy marketing too early is more damaging than not marketing at all\nThe Market–Message–Map framework: how to diagnose exactly where your marketing is broken\nWhich of the 7 mistakes is actively costing you the most right now\nHow to use your score to build a clear marketing priority sequence\nThe 3 questions every small business owner must answer before spending the next dollar on marketing\nA scoring tool you’ll use again every time you consider a new marketing investment\n\nWHO SHOULD ATTEND \nBuilt for small business owners who have put time or money into marketing but aren’t sure what they got for it. Also\, right for anyone about to start marketing and who wants to build on solid ground instead of finding out what’s missing after the money is spent. No marketing background required. \nThe Facilitator for this Workshop is Brian Talbot. Brian is a fractional CMO\, business speaker\, and founder of MyMarketingMap.com. He has spent more than 30 years helping small and mid-size businesses double or triple their growth with marketing grounded in strategy\, not guesswork. Brian is the creator of the Market–Message–Map framework and a marketing instructor.
