The five obstacles stopping you gaining traction

December 06, 2021 • Mark Harris / David M Somerfleck • Season 6 • Episode 3

Today's podcast features David M Somerfleck of DMS Blue.

Before talking about marketing, we talk about David’s name, and the company name, as well as everything I could see on my screen being blue!

Digital marketing services (spot the acronym!) is what David does, and I was surprised by his definition of his ideal client.

What he does is use his digital marketing skills to help clients overcome the five obstacles stopping them gaining traction with their marketing.

Spoiler alert! The five things are:

1) Lack of suitable budget

2) Saviour complex

3) Not having a plan

4) Not knowing your competition

5) Lack of SEO / content / offering

But you’ll have to listen to the show to really understand what they mean.
