The Best Are Constantly Learning

by

I was on the phone with our web designer, Eric Dingler, the other day and I realized something.  Eric just finished a new web design for a client and we were talking about re-designing our own site as well.  He was listening to my ideas on things I wanted to include and making suggestions.   Then he spent some time telling me about website podcasts he listens to, and their advice on the matter.  He excitedly told me about a new “tricks and tips” he could work into our site.  That was when it hit me.

The best people to work with are the ones that are constantly learning and honing their craft.

Always.  It never stops.

Then I looked around my office and noticed the same thing with our designer Josh.  He is always looking at design.  Sure, he went to school for design and he has the background and the chops.  But he follows designers, he studies their work, he enjoys the conversation.  He is honing his craft.

The question is…what are you working on?  What do you want to become great at?  If you will or if you won’t can be answered by whether or not you are continually learning or studying your craft. Want to be a fitness expert?  Yes, of course you have to put in the work.  You have to work on your own diet and your own fitness.  But are you reading the latest blogs?  Are you up on the latest workouts?

Want to stand out in Content Marketing?  It’s not just about creating content (though that is super important).  It’s also about studying other masters to see what is working and what is not? Want to lead in sales?  It’s not just about making the sales calls (though that is where it starts).  You need to continually be reading articles, books, and blogs on the topic.  You have to get re-inspired and re-imagined to continue to be the best.

Do you want to be great at something or are you just saying it?  A simple self-audit will tell you the truth if you let it.  You are passionate about what you work at and study.  Look at your calendar and study your time.  That will tell you the truth. Make sure you never miss an update!  It’s a great time to become a VIP!  Sign up here for our weekly email with all of our content.

4 Things We Are Thankful For

by

Happy Thanksgiving!  The holidays are officially upon us.  And as the Black Friday Sales start (on Thursday, no less) it is extremely easy to get sucked into the stress of the holiday season.  We can get too focused on the gifts and less on the meaning.  We get focused on the tasks on the to-do list and less on the point of the exercise. I know I am guilty of it. So on this day of Thanksgiving, I wanted to take just a moment to outline a few of the things I am thankful for here at Hasseman Marketing.

The Team

I really am excited and thankful for the team I get to work with every day.  From different backgrounds and different parts of the country, the inside employees and the outside sales team are what make us go. They are who “Deliver Marketing Joy.”  Thanks to the Hasseman Marketing Team!

Our Customers

Nothing happens until there is a sale.  That is true of any business, and certainly ours.  We so appreciate the faith and trust our customers place in us every day.  Thanks to each and every one of you!

Our Communities

Our Corporate headquarters is in Coshocton, Ohio and we love that area.  We #ChooseCoshocton.  We are proud of it.  We want to have an impact.  But with the nature of our business, we have team members in other communities too.  Yes, we have people in Ohio.  But we also represent communities in Virginia, North Carolina, and California as well.  We are thankful for the opportunity to make a difference in each.

Our Suppliers and Partners

As with most any business, we are not in it alone.  We have a host of fantastic suppliers and partners that help us do what we do.  These suppliers are manufacturers, printers, designers and software developers…and more.  We are thankful for the opportunity to work with each. So thank you!  If you are reading this, you are likely in one of these camps.

All of us at Hasseman Marketing would like to take this chance to give Thanksgiving…for you!
