In this short instructional segment, the presenter addresses common marketing challenges faced by new founders. He defines two fundamental concepts: the Call to Action (CTA) and social proof. For CTA, he explains it as the specific request made in marketing materials—e.g., prompting website visitors to submit a form for a free consultation, thereby converting them into leads—and uses his own request for likes, subscriptions, and shares as a practical example. He then defines social proof as the use of ratings and testimonials from existing or past customers that independently validate the quality of a service. The overall purpose is to clarify these terms so founders can apply them effectively in their own marketing strategies.

Marketing is where a lot of new founders struggle the most. Let me give you an example. Call to action, CTA, the thing that your marketing materials, website, or social media is asking someone to do. For instance, the main CTA on your website might be to submit a form for a free consultation, which would turn the submitter into a lead. Now, my CTA call to action to you is to hit the like button, subscribe to the channel, and share if you're finding this material helpful. The next term, social proof, ratings and testimonials from current and previous customers that independently confirm the quality of your service.
