Market Proof Marketing: Home Builder Marketing Insights

Market Proof Marketing · Ep 361: Thinking in Categories

Kevin Oakley is joined by Beth Russell and Jackie Lipinski for episode 361 to discuss investing in your team for 2025, and how sometimes unplugging for a short time can lead to the generation of new ideas. They also share new reporting and content on the Do You Convert website, and dive into an interesting report out of University of Pennsylvania.

Story Time (6:50):

• Jackie talks end of the year strategy, drawing a past example of tactfully understanding where focus and energy need to be without being too granular
• Beth poses a question that came up on a builder call -- how are you investing in your team? And gives examples of things to consider for 2025.
• Kevin was in Guatemala, and while unplugging can be difficult for him, his time off allowed him to come up key ideas that he feels may not have been sparked without the quiet, calm space
