Tactical Friday: Speak the Customer's Language with the AIDA Framework
“When we can learn as marketers to evoke desire, to speak to people’s desire, it becomes so much easier because we’re speaking the language. We’re speaking the words they want to hear because we’re leaning into that desired outcome for their future.” – Wayne Mullins
Welcome to this episode of Tactical Friday! In today’s episode, Wayne Mullins is back to discuss the AIDA framework and the practical ways to go beyond capturing the audience’s attention.

Key Quotes:
“Where attention goes and money flows. So if we don’t capture people’s attention, none of the rest of this even matters.” – Wayne Mullins
“Shame on us for assuming that people know what the next step is. We have to be clear, we have to be explicit, we have to give them that next logical step.” – Wayne Mullins
“You capture the attention, you’re speaking to their interests and their desires, but then you don’t have the call to action. You’ve wasted your effort on the first person on the first section because you’ve wasted that attention.” – Wayne Mullins

Leverage Your Assets through Better Positioning with Wayne Mullins
“I believe that anytime you build influence on any particular platform, your responsibility is to take those people off of that platform and put them in a format in a place that you can actually manage and control.” – Wayne Mullins
Welcome to another week of Tactical Leader! In today’s episode, a special guest, Wayne Mullins is back and he will share an approach to marketing with the many platforms and trends today.

Key Quotes:
“We can’t continually want and wish and hope for a different reality, a different future in our lives without looking at ourselves and saying, ‘Okay, if I want those things to be true, if I want that desired outcome, what must I change within myself? What must I give up? What must I sacrifice? What must I transition to become?’.” – Wayne Mullins
“You never truly get to that ideal future. You’re always in this space called ‘the gap’. And it wasn’t until I really learned to embrace that gap, to learn to actually love the struggle and appreciate the fact that I’m going to be in this journey.” – Wayne Mullins
“The important point is this, that the platform doesn’t matter. What matters is the mentality around the asset itself.” – Wayne Mullins
