My name is Sahil Gujral.

We wouldn’t know half the world if someone didn’t market it.

After reading this above line you can be able to know the importance of marketing. Marketing is not only to do sales and pitch anybody in a good way. Marketing is something that if the person buys from you then he will not go somewhere else in searching of that product.

As a marketer, I am going to share one experience from my own work which will help you out in understanding that how marketing will make changes anywhere

Social media marketing is not for a huge no. of followers

Many business owners, including me (initially ), have the expectation and a myth. If we are going to post on social media about our business. Our followers and sales would be in huge numbers within 1st month.

BUT BUT BUT….

Now I am going to break this myth. After handling the 5 clients in the last 5 months what I realized is, few of them aren’t happy with the services I was giving to them.

I asked them “I over-delivered what I mentioned, still, you have complaints why? (I have asked politely)

They said “Sahil quality is amazing, you over-delivered I agree, we are getting good reach I agree. But the thing is our followers and sales aren’t increasing but I can see we have only 2 digits followers right now with ZERO SALES”

I asked them “ Are you aware of MTNUT principal?”

He said “ NO”

Then i explained to him about MTNUT principal

MONEY<TIME<NEED<URGENCY<TRUST

Social media marketing or social media managing isn’t about the millions of followers or getting huge sales. It's simply about the presence and the trust factor we will be getting from unknown cold customers.

That's awesome if we will be getting direct sales and huge followers ( it will be the cherry on the cake ) I told him “Let's say if you are running ads and they didn’t covert because of the trust because they don’t know you, so the only way to gain their trust is to post yourself on social media platforms or hire a social media marketer to post about your business. ( So you will get a good number of sales indirectly)

He understood and agreed to continue for further months

And I promised him if we are going to post consistently with the right hastags strategy and quality post we will definitely get a great number of direct sales and followers

Platforms algorithm isn’t in our hand but posting consistently and presenting our business online is in our hands

The above line explains to you that what marketing is really about.
