A short YouTube advice clip (by Eric Deeran) about marketing for service-based businesses. The speaker emphasizes that generic claims like "we'll do your social media" or "we'll run your ads" trigger negative preconceptions in prospects who had bad prior experiences. Instead, the speaker recommends packaging offerings as a named system or formula with fresh language ("wrapping paper") so potential clients don't immediately dismiss the offer.

Like if you can encapsulate it in that, like service based businesses and experts and then we have a specific formula system that we use to take everything that you create, come in, do all your social media for you. You just can't be like, hey, we're going to come in and do social media. Because the reason marketing works is because you have to have words or, you know, you don't want it to sound gimmicky obviously, but you need to have words or things in there that people don't have a previous connotation with, right? If I say, hey, video business owners, I'm going to help you run your ads and get more leads. Like maybe somebody ran ads in the past, had a shitty experience and it didn't work. And then the minute they see my ad, they put me in that bucket and they're like, oh, ads don't work for me. No thanks. Right, same thing for you. You can't be like, we're going to do your social media because everybody freaking says that, right? You have to be like, we have a system and you have to put kind of a wrapping paper on it to make it sound new and interesting so people don't have a connotation with that.
