Just who the hell is Tim Savage anyway?
I was runner up in the National Business Growth Advisor Awards in 2012 and after spending 26
years+ in the Army, I’ve built 2 separate
businesses since leaving in 2008 and I help people get stuff done in their
businesses. I’m known as the Chief of the ‘Get it
Done’ Police!
How do you make yourself stand out?
It’s all about YOU
What do you stand for?

Stories about you and your
product make you different
Your story matters HUGELY.
What drives you? Why did you go into business? Why do you work silly hours? What makes you stand out? Don’t be afraid to talk about yourself
How has your product or service helped someone?
Marketing is about stories – of problems being solved
Structure of a Story

Who uses testimonials?
No - I mean, really, really uses them!
Are they all over your website on every page?
Are they all over every piece of marketing you send out?
Are they in every email you send out in your signature block?
Do they have photos with them? Names of people?
Do you use video testimonials?
