Marketing is about telling people about ourselves, right?

It’s about saying the things we want to say, right?

Well, as you’ve figured out from the way I tend to construct these questions, the answer is, of course, no.

**Marketing is about saying *what they need to hear* to move** [**one step closer**](https://kelfordinc.com/one-step-at-a-time-kelford-labs-daily/)**.**

- What they need to understand [we can help](https://kelfordinc.com/being-found-from-far-away-kelford-labs-daily/).
- What they need to believe it [will work](https://kelfordinc.com/content-that-moves-them-closer-kelford-labs-daily/).
- What they need to experience [our value](https://kelfordinc.com/theyre-here-are-you-kelford-labs-daily/).
- What they need to share it [with others](https://kelfordinc.com/staying-connected-with-ideal-clients-kelford-labs-daily/).

It’s not about us, it’s about *them*.

So, that marketing message you’re working on: Is it something you want to say?

**Or is it something *they* need to hear?**
