Iβve known Joe for 25 years - back when we were both early-adopters of Dan Kennedy training.
I never hired him. Never much listened to his podcasts. (Or, before that, his tapes.) Never attended any of his boot camps or workshops.
Nonetheless, his influence on my own business demanded his mention.
For eight years, I gave cars away. To the winner of my βInsurance Marketer of the Yearβ Contest. Audi TTβs. BMW Z4s. Porsche Carerras. I drove them for a year. Then, put them at the front of the ball room at my Boot Camps. And someone drove them home.
It was wildly popular. (It also gave me a Fort Knox of killer content, as dozens of agents would send me their best marketing from the year.)
I got that idea from Joe.
"Selling is what you do when you're on the phone with the prospect. Marketing is what you do to get them on the phone." This quote encapsulates Polish's approach to marketing as an ongoing conversation with the customer.
π Joe Polish's contributions have elevated the marketing industry, guiding countless professionals towards ethical, customer-centered strategies. His teachings challenge us to view marketing not as a one-time transaction, but as a continuous relationship-building process. ππ‘
