Naked Marketing Podcast with Guest, Kelly Max

On today’s episode of the Naked Marketing podcast, I’m joined by Kelly Max founder and CEO of Solvv Inc. A serial entrepreneur, Kelly created Solvv, a blockchain enabled social media platform offering a space to solve problems in 15-minute audio-only brainstorming sessions. His tool helps teams and businesses solve problems and cut through the clutter.

Kelly shares details about his new business, set to launch in late 2021, and how Solvv works. Kelly talks about his background and how he used self-learning and bold strategies to launch his career in staffing and recruiting at an early age instead of attending university. We chat about the challenges the staffing industry faces differentiating and the disconnect between product development and marketing messaging, as well as the negative impact of overpromising can have. 

Kelly Max’s Top Suggestions on How to Avoid Marketing Mistakes:

• Market to your internal staff and stakeholders, as well as your potential clients
• Listen to what your target market wants and needs and apply this to your product and messaging
• Ensure your product matches the expectations set by your marketing communications
• Don’t be blinded by self-love, ensure your marketing message doesn’t overpromise.

We talk about the importance of doing research and testing before launching or repositioning rather than ‘sell before build.’ We also discuss the value of making mistakes and how being an entrepreneur allows you to be more nimble in response to mistakes.

Finally, Kelly leaves us with his favorite quotes, “…where focus goes, energy flows.” (Tony Robbins)
