Just a couple thoughts that might help you with your small business marketing:

1. I know it might feel sometimes as if you're facing an uphill battle when it comes to your marketing, but if this sounds like you, relax. The more you do, the easier it gets if you learn from your mistakes.

2. Don't take rejections personally. Your prospects may be:

• uninterested because they don't value what you offer, meaning they might be lousy clients to begin with
• flat broke
• distracted by a personal health problem or that of a loved one
• understaffed in a different area than the service you provide
• uneducated about the merits of what you offer (in which case, you can do something about this)
• struggling to get by
• in the middle of a huge pitch or presentation prep work, in which case you are keeping them from progress

3. If you make marketing a part of your routine, it won't seem so tough, and you can break the work into bite-sized chunks that are more manageable.
