Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's going on this morning? Joe with you bron Today
- 0:04we take a look at growing vertical. What does that
- 0:09look like? Take a listen to this. So talking to
- 0:14this guy and he's, you know, we have a discussion
- 0:22about websites and you know all this stuff. I'm not
- 0:27a salesman, so we just you know, people find out
- 0:31what I do and it becomes a discussion and I
- 0:35can talk on a million topics twenty five years, just
- 0:37imagine in this arena. So the guy asked, you know,
- 0:42he's Google reviews. I'll climb to the top without Google. Okay, okay,
- 0:50well you know it's like, what about a Google review
- 1:00makes you think it's unimportant? Their budget, you know for
- 1:10marketing and advertising is gonna trump every company using their service.
- 1:19In need of their service, everyone, you gotta have a
- 1:26Google account to have an Android phone. It's a no brainer.
- 1:29So anyway, I digress. We were talking about you know,
- 1:42social media platforms and so much and so forth, and
- 1:46guy says, websites, people still need those, People still use those.
- 1:55I didn't even go into it. You know, I end
- 1:58up asking them three or four months. I said, hey,
- 2:02he works at a hospital, probably give him up now.
- 2:05He probably knows who I'm talking about, but it's the truth.
- 2:07He's a great friend. I sent him a text. I said, hey,
- 2:14he works at one of the biggest hospitals in the
- 2:17in the Bible Belt. I said, hey, where you were?
- 2:23Do they have a website? He said, yeah, send me
- 2:29their address. Of course, my reply was a little smart,
- 2:39I said, from the guy who asked me, do companies
- 2:44still need websites or use websites? So if you think
- 2:52about it, don't you think about huge companies and how
- 2:59they control the whole enterprise and the number of customers
- 3:06that they influence their expectation. Apple influence the whole world
- 3:23that the best place to buy their products was at
- 3:26the Apple store. Their stores are vertically inclined. By that,
- 3:35I mean, in Layman's terms, everything you do at Apple
- 3:43is Apple. They don't send you to a Gmail, they
- 3:51don't use into it for their software. You don't send
- 3:57files to some Dropbox or we Transfer or Google Drive.
- 4:17You know, everything's going through Apple. Apple is controlling the experience,
- 4:25good or bad. Good or bad. Apple is controlling the experience.
- 4:33I recently launched a new product, actually several products, digital
- 4:41assets that allow small businesses to grow vertically their own
- 4:48QR code machine mini link shortener as it's called leads
- 4:59app QR code machine, and the list goes on. This
- 5:07is not a commercial for those apps. My point is
- 5:12when you grow vertical, you control. You know, first of all,
- 5:17you don't have a thousand or three or four extra
- 5:20passwords to remember or to create or to save. So
- 5:25you increase your security cybersecurity boom number one. You want
- 5:29to be safe. You go on a boat trip. The
- 5:33first thing you want to know are there holes in
- 5:36the boat? Is there a captain? You know? Security is
- 5:42the first measures. You're going into deep waters when you're
- 5:46starting a business, or you're going into the atmosphere in
- 5:52a new rocket launching your business, I should say, and
- 5:58you want to make sure you're going to have some
- 5:59air when you get there. Safety is the first protocol.
- 6:03So the apps cover that, your brand covers that you're
- 6:10accountable for that whatever happens, it's your business. You don't
- 6:16want some other customer service answering questions about your business.
- 6:23You want to control as much as you can, if
- 6:26you can, as much of your business or enterprise as
- 6:31possible for the least possible expense, meaning you don't want
- 6:35subscription prices and volume limitations. Not As a small business,
- 6:44you don't need any extra. You need power strength so
- 6:50you can multiply. So growing vertical means being consistent in
- 7:03your brand, in your structure, at every point of service,
- 7:14whether that's mobile, tablet, laptop, desktop, You want to be
- 7:25consistent branding, consistent message. You know, with the advent of
- 7:35tiktoks and dance moves and you know, crazy ways to
- 7:41catch people's attention. If that's your gig, go ahead and
- 7:45do it. You'll be forever searching for some new bang.
- 7:51But be consistent. It's like a song. You can dance
- 7:56to it because it has a rhythm. Catch the rhythm
- 8:06of your brand so that it becomes music to people's ears.
- 8:16And music and sound is something I talk about in
- 8:19another podcast, Sonic Branding. So this is Gicasso, Morning Joe
- 8:24with your bron I hope this has helped grow vertical.
- 8:28Control the experience go.
