How is it July 2022?

 Has the pandemic created a time warp? Am I the only one feeling this? It’s so interesting as I age and life keeps happening and you grow through this and that and one day you’re writing the date and it’s absolutely shocking somehow! 

KONK ADVERTISING IS SEEKING 6 NEW CLIENTS for full time advertising management services. That’s been the most simple way to show ROI. My customers have been TIPPING ME so that’s a nice twist lol! Thank you Google. 

October 2020 KONK ADVERTISING AUDITS *First Audit Free!!*

 As we roll out into the market and prepare to scale, we are offering a huge value- a complimentary deep dive audit worth over $500.00.  WHY? Because it's the best way to show my clients what we do- which is:

1. 

We do a deep dive audit of your current investments in advertising.  We confirm what the expectations and promises were, and if the product/service has lived up to those promises.

2. 

We present clear numbers relative to your business- telling you exactly what's out there in the way of prospective customers, and how much money is being spend and when.  THE most important thing is to make sure your company is a choice when somebody searches for you.  If you have an awful product and people never come back or they light you up on the reviews- then you need new customers more than ever while you're attempting to re-brand yourself

3.

We do this all at no charge- easily 5-10 hours of our time invested (hence my targeted calls and outreach- we don't just work with any old prospect- it wouldn't make sense) in providing a roadmap of what exactly works for a given company.  This information is worth a lot- but only if somebody executes on it.  We've found time and time again the main challenges that exist are:

Time * resouces * desire * knowledge 

Most business owners/key personnel, are busy running the company.  It's no secret a good partnership with a productive marketer is a huge win for both sides- the challenge is to find that relationship.  

Contact me now- let's discuss your company.  It will not be a waste of your time.

Sincerely,

Tim Konkle

San Francisco SMB's BEST chance to pivot during COVID!(

First of all I'm always amazed how much times flies by and all the changes that happen during that time.  Then something like this whole Covid 19 shelter in place thing happens and your head is spinning.  At least MY head is spinning, reviewing emails from a month ago, or pictures, or projects I was working on "pre-shelter-in-place".  Though it all- I'm GRATEFUL and hoping to help any SMB's I can.  Right now the push to get clients is urgent in a way it never has been before. 

I have a restaurant client, for example (many of them in fact) and the biggest message they can push out there ASAP- "we're clean, not infected, and turning out the most amazing take-out as always but THIS time we're using a buy 4 get #5 free as an incentive- 50.00 max value.  So many companies need to move quick to a different focus and I'm here to help. 

As I've done my entire career- I'll help you if you call me.  Yes, I like to add new clients and grow my business however if those clients don't stay with me forever and refer me to other clients, I might as well give it up.  The sign of any great sales relationship is longevity and growth, and I offer those two things in earnest.

The route to my new clients has always been simple- I just want you to meet me and know what I do.  All of my business comes from conversations that result in trust and it's all backed by data to remove any emotion of "smoke".  That's why I've loved being in Digital Media Consulting because it's a deeply data-driven business and I close my sales on the proof of the numbers- much like a mutual fund.  You see that fund growing monthly, quarterly, yearly, you're not only going to stay in it, but you're also going to double down. 

Anyhow- that's my soapbox speech.  I hope everybody stays healthy and active during this very strange time.  Personally, I've been using this time to catch up on my "nerd education" and attend a lot of seminars that help me to understand my job better. 

PLEASE CALL ME, TEXT ME, EMAIL ME, FB, TWITTER, IG, Carrier Pigeon- just get in touch.  Let's talk about your website

Marketing Automation is here to stay

If you're not using this to build a database and blow up the numbers for a drop in the bucket- please get in touch with me for a quick discussion.  I promise you'll be glad you did!

KONK ADVERTISING AUDITS and Tahoe Ski Trips

What a perfect balance of working with lots of companies that need an extra set of eyes on the marketing strategy and analytics, while also facilitating trips to Tahoe for all kinds of amazing San Francisco/Bay Area companies.  One of the many amazing features of living in this area is the ability to go up to Lake Tahoe in the winter.  I discovered "Bay Area Ski Bus" many years back and was instantly transported into easy days on the mountain and have been hooked ever since.  Kevin Larroque has been running the operations and has always been such a great guy, and we often talked about potential partnerships- so I'm really stoked he has me running the groups division in his first year as business owner of Tahoe Ski Trips during the most amazing winter on top of everything!

We're hoping the blend of our skill sets will allow us to be a strong self-driven machine- along with Amanda and Justin and Sarah and the whole clan of minions behind this project it's a lot of fun.  Many people who have a vested interest in "the life" and not only providing an amazing service but using that opportunity to enjoy our life at the same time. 

I'm so excited to have everything up and running and sharing with all of our friends.  That's what it's all about!

November 13, 2017 snow is coming!!!!

WOOOOO really excited to start getting to Tahoe.  I love to work while I'm rolling on the bus thanks to the most amazing company www.bayareaskibus.com and I've had the most amazing quality winter life since being able to rock all the pow days and allllllllUH dat!! Who thought advertising audits in san francisco were in such dire need?  So nice to enjoy the freedom of just straight out calling bullshit when I see it- of course I have to do it with tact as you don't know WHO sold the bullshit originally, etc. 

Thanks for all my new clients- really having a blast with the projects- seems like the first order of business is to save money- and at 250 a month it's easy to start right off killing something and being like "ok there now you're saving 250 a month AND you have me watching over the numbers".  I'm so thankful for the trust and being able to manage these clients well beyond the original scope.  It's more about seeing a bigger picture now and with so many company leaders stuck in a groove of massive work weeks and lack of fresh ideas, we're breaking the mold over and over and giving people their life back.  How nice is it to make MORE money and have LESS stress?  Epic that's how.

Tahoe meetings anybody?  I'm setting up a lead group to go to Tahoe with me in the next couple of weeks- think of it as a think tank on the mountain where inebriates complete the think tank along with a bowl of chili at day end LOL.  I LOVE MY LIFE

KONK Advertising Audits November 2, 2017

KONK ADVERTISING AUDITS in San Francisco, CA is officially fully in growth mode and my head is spinning.  I know for a fact that my initial phase of this company has been designed with a cap in mind, thereby assuring the productivity remains stellar and my ability to invest what I've pulled in will allow for a completely focused 2nd phase.

As I reach out to clients, it's completely different considering every factor in my approach has changed.  That's due very much to the fact that I'm representing myself and my company and the vision that comes with it.  More importantly however, and clearly more relevant especially as the months progress; is the fact that I'm more and more enjoying truly connecting with people.  The time I took setting things up and meditating, voraciously reading everything on spirituality and ancient wisdom and past/present connections- you know, that really super deep stuff that just blows your brain to pieces.  I love it when I'm in the midst of learning some concept or insight and it's so intense I just sit back for a minute and think "DAMN!!" while my mind just spins.  That kind of learning can only come from living life and understanding yourself.

One thing I'm finding over and over- is that it's not difficult for me to prove my value to my clients.  I've always believed the relationship was paramount- that a client was buying ME far more than anything else, and with that trust comes an amazing amount of power.  Most of what I do now is to simply provide answers and education to my clients.  It's like there are these little envelopes of money tucked around everywhere and I'm the guy who's kicking over the boxes.  And all with positive intent- for the clients as well as the companies they may be adjusting or terminating relationships with.  There are always positive spins and ways to get something to provide a win/win, and I really enjoy figuring out what the tipping point is.

So as usual, this post is about GRATITUDE but also about the continued understanding that everybody I reach out to is a piece of me since we are all part of one huge collective.  A wise man once said "imagine every person as an infant child".....man that is DEEP.  So with every cold call, meeting, introduction or rejection- I'm celebrating the blessing to be a part of it all.  Here's to a great November of auditing sales budgets and company strategy to create a better situation for all involved.
