Frequently Asked Questions
Well, that depends on whom you ask. For some, it’s a book, blog, or podcast. For others, it’s a methodology that taps the power of a systematic marketing approach. And still, for some, it’s a network of skilled, independent marketing professionals certified to install the Duct Tape Marketing System. Ultimately, however, it’s one of the world’s most trusted small business marketing brands.
The system is a repeatable framework and process that allows marketers to create wins more easily for clients by focusing on “Strategy Before Tactics” to create a winning plan and then quickly moving to retainer engagements with a set blueprint to guide the engagement.
In addition to the certification and training, participants receive a library of tools, templates, case studies, proposals, and lead generation and conversion processes. Participants also gain access to our vetted partner network to help with many aspects of implementation with client engagements.
No. We maintain a hands-off approach when it comes to your business operations. Our role is primarily to provide education and grant you the license to market this method. We offer tools, training, and opportunities for expansion and networking if you're interested. However, it's ultimately your business, and we're simply here to assist in its growth and success.
Most people who license this system use it to create $5,000-$10,000 “Strategy First” engagements that attract ideal clients that generally turn into long-term retainer engagements at $4-5,000 per month. Our average is 19 months!
We have hand-selected and vetted 3rd party providers for things like web design, content, SEO, and paid ads. These partners not only do great work, they know the Duct Tape Marketing system and can often help with processes for delegation. In addition, we have negotiated discounts with many software tool providers that are exclusive to our certified agencies.
About one-third of the folks who license our system are just getting started. Many are jumping from a corporate position or another career. We’ve successfully structured the training and tools to fit wherever people are in their business journey.
Many agencies that license our system see it as a way to bring a different structure to their fulfillment. They have grown to a certain point and now realize they need a repeatable system to scale profitably.
