As a marketer myself, it's not that we don't trust our skills, it's that few things happen in short term. If I'm going to work with you with commisions it's because I have trust in your product in the long run (2+ years, at least).
Otherwise I could spend a year optimizing your site, your funnel, your strategy and you could easily fire me and keep all the strategy, SEO and branding done to your site.
- jwr 6y agoThis a very good point. And it's also exactly how I see a potential relationship. Beginning with a proven product (4 years history of organic growth with low churn), and with a long-term outlook. I've yet to find a marketer that would be interested. To be honest, I'm not that surprised — I want accountability, and there are many others out there who do not, and with faster-growing businesses.
