Transform Your Business by Answering What Customers Really Want to Know
When Marcus Sheridan's fiberglass pool company faced bankruptcy during the 2008 recession, he discovered something that would not only save his business but revolutionize it. Customers weren't making buying decisions based on traditional marketing anymore-they were researching extensively online before contacting companies. This revelation led to a deceptively simple approach: answer every question customers ask, honestly and thoroughly. By creating an article addressing fiberglass pool pricing, Sheridan generated over $6 million in sales-literally saving his business. The New York Times later featured this approach with the headline: "A Revolutionary Marketing Strategy: Answer Customers' Questions"-highlighting how something so fundamentally simple could transform modern business. Modern consumers make approximately 70% of their buying decision before ever speaking with a company representative-a dramatic shift from just a decade ago. Yet most businesses continue operating with outdated models that prioritize sales departments over marketing efforts. The internet has democratized information access, transferring power from salespeople to consumers. Where buyers once relied on sales representatives for product details, they now expect comprehensive answers online before initiating contact. Companies resisting this change often hide behind the "we're different" phenomenon-the universal belief that their business is uniquely exempt from these trends. In reality, all businesses fundamentally operate on the same currency: consumer trust. The organizations thriving today have recognized that becoming the most trusted voice in their industry creates the ultimate competitive advantage. This requires abandoning "ostrich marketing" and embracing radical transparency that addresses every customer concern, even when uncomfortable.
