Summary:

Who moved my marketing cheese? This phrase metaphorically describes the disruption of our sales processes and our understanding of marketing techniques, just as in the popular book 'Who Moved My Cheese?' by Spencer Johnson, where the cheese symbolizes what we want to achieve.

Our marketing 'cheese' represents our goals and objectives in the ever-changing marketing landscape. In marketing, 'cheese' can be seen as the traditional methods and strategies we've relied on for years. In our marketing, our 'cheese' symbolizes the results we aim to achieve through our marketing efforts.

It signifies a shift from the familiar order we've practiced over a long history into unfamiliar territories, necessitating new learning techniques and strategies such as AI-driven marketing, personalized customer communication (e.g., chatbots, customized emails), and data-driven decision-making (e.g., predictive analytics, customer segmentation).

Adapting to these new techniques is not just a choice but a pressing necessity in the rapidly evolving marketing landscape. The sooner we embrace these changes, the better equipped we will be to navigate the future of marketing. This instills a sense of urgency and importance in our actions, underlining the need for immediate adaptation and opening up new opportunities for innovation and success in the marketing field.

My expectations of the order of things and processes have permanently been disrupted.

Order and habits are part of our culture, institutions, and way of life, which consist of reliable customs, traditions, rules, and habits.

What happened to relationship-driven successes?

The cheese symbolizes what we are working and striving to obtain: family, finances, peace, health, happiness, and tranquility.

Historic Shift:

In this new era, friends do business with friends, and reliable relationships have moved because of light-speed differential correspondence. This term refers to the rapid and varied ways we communicate in the digital age. Adapting to these new methods to stay competitive is crucial. However, we must not overlook the importance of personal connections in the digital age. Human interaction remains a key element in our marketing strategies, and the prevailing approach of solely relying on social media for business or sales outreach will diminish over time. Brief, attention-grabbing messages or sensational content aimed at unknown individuals are expected to lose effectiveness.

Expanding business opportunities and fostering new relationships are crucial for personal growth and business success. These elements are the foundation for achieving higher goals and driving business growth.

There will likely be a shift towards re-emphasizing the importance of building strong relationships as the key strategy for sustainable success. Prioritizing genuine connections and meaningful interactions will become essential in navigating the business landscape.

Most people's habit of reading is different than they used to. They watch and listen to podcasts focused on digital audio and video files available for downloading or streaming. They don't seem to answer their phones like they used to; they do not always respond to emails for marketing purposes or precisely targeted communication about a subject such as a transaction. But one thing is sure: everywhere they go, they look down at their phones so attentively that they miss everything around them.

The most effective marketing tool today is texting prospects, which necessitates obtaining phone numbers rather than email addresses. However, the process must be done individually, with some personalization rather than a mass text software package. Virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa can draft and send personalized messages and reminders, making them valuable tools in this approach.

We may first call, leave a message when they do not answer, or follow up with an email or text message. Siri, text Archie Bunker. Archie, I am just checking with you to see if you need any ____________________?

Things change, and disruptions occur, both personally and in business. Technology, such as AI and data analytics, plays a significant role in modifying our marketing output by providing insights into consumer behavior and market trends. These technological disruptions necessitate our adaptation to stay competitive in the market, highlighting the importance of staying ahead of the curve in our field.

Here are a few things that we must become comfortable with:

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Automatic Language (AL)
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
• Search engine algorithms
• Search engine Crawling, spiders, robots, or Google bots.

This is not precisely shaking hands with 500 people, becoming friends, hanging out together, and doing business as usual, but rather tech-driven, which magnifies or leverages the performance through algorithmic data management.

Lost in the dynamics of changing methods:

In the real estate sales and lending business, the challenges are unique. The market is volatile, and success often depends on factors beyond our control. When business opportunities deteriorate, what do frustrated salespeople do? They may be tempted to perpetuate a losing strategy, which includes working from home, focusing on distracting activities, only taking inbound messages, selectively returning calls, and engaging in what today is called quitting. This is where a best practices action system is designed explicitly with the new techniques for the real estate sales and lending businesses, which can make a significant difference.

Quiet quitting is a term used to describe a situation where a person does not outright quit their job but regularly shuffles their daily activities to avoid stressful confrontations, outbound calls, and sales rejections. Instead of focusing on business-related tasks, they may spend their time on social media, take extended breaks, or commiserate with others about work-related issues. This behavior, known as quiet quitting, is prevalent in today's labor force, shedding light on the current job market dynamics and the need for proactive management strategies.

Going the extra mile or any mile is separate from the equation for those with a tidy paycheck, no matter how temporary or short-lived. Quiet quitting, also known as the Great Resignation and the Great Reshuffle, is an economic trend where employees are unsatisfied with their jobs but find a way to avoid action by essentially living off their employer's payrolls. Most employers will not continue to pay salaries for long. No results, sorry Charlie, no pay, no job! This trend affects business productivity and employee satisfaction, highlighting the need for proactive management and robust employee engagement strategies.

How about a very inexpensive gadget, a mouse jiggler, that artificially simulates keyboard activity and mouse movement, creating the impression of computer work? Some who work remotely have attempted to outsmart their management while engaging in fake work activity. These individuals, called 'parasitic quiet quitters,' exploit their employers by engaging in fraudulent activities to avoid real work. For example, they might use the mouse jiggler to make it seem like they are working when they are not. Management may use productivity monitoring software as a surveillance mechanism to ensure compliance with company work requirements, so the parasitic quiet quitter alternatively engages in fraud, which can lead to significant losses for the company. This highlights the need for effective management and monitoring strategies to prevent such behaviors and ensure business productivity.

Dynamic change:

Reading is a powerful tool that can disrupt the ill-informed. But, as Mark Twain aptly said, "If you don't read the newspaper, you are uninformed." If you read the newspaper, then you are ill-informed. This underscores the crucial role of seeking out reliable sources of information to stay empowered and knowledgeable in the face of change.

The problem is that our expectation of order is disrupted by others who are pursuing their agenda but using us as a vehicle or, in some cases, a sucker.

Many of our activities are so fast that we cannot keep up and, therefore, have limited time for relationship-building. Much of our work function is now modified to rely on technology, replacing face-to-face and telephone correspondence.

Automatic Language (AL) is an advanced technology that analyzes text inputs, recognizes patterns, and classifies text into natural language processing algorithms. In marketing, AL is advancing the human interface and communication with machines and computer systems, enabling more efficient and personalized customer communication. This technology is revolutionizing how we interact with customers and is a key trend in marketing.

Eventually, AL will drive most of our marketing activities. Analytics and algorithms will drive everything from search engines to service searches, identifying our unique abilities based on our participation in the tech system.

The accelerating speed of change is upon us, and we have permanently said goodbye to the old methods. At best, we can gain the attention of prospects for microseconds or a minute to see if they are interested in our services, which is a difficult task but doable. We can embrace and adopt change willingly or be left in the dust of history alongside the Rolodex client file system. For those who do not remember Rolodex, it was a desktop card index system on a round rotating spindle with removable cards attached. The salesperson would record client information indexed from A to Z.

Future companies may have only five employees, but they operate like a 50-person company 20-30 years ago.

There is a shift to the free-agent nation, where independence and mobility are paramount to success.

Herein lies the need for an executive administrative assistant, independent contractor staffing, and high-tech independent contractors locally or from around the world (somewhere) who can work magic in the tech-driven marketing and follow-up process.
