How I Made it in Marketing

TikTok Marketing: Why your accountant matters…a $300,000 wake-up call (episode #122)

“Incorporate lessons from others' mistakes into your business strategy.”

I read this lesson in a recent podcast guest application and I thought, ‘well, that is actually a pretty good summary of what we do here on How I Made It In Marketing.’ You can tune in and learn from others’ mistakes so you don’t have to make them yourself.

And, of course, their triumphs as well. What fun would it be to only discuss the mistakes?

So I talked to the man behind that podcast guest application – AB Lieberman, CEO and Founder, Clicks Talent [https://www.clickstalent.com/] – to hear the lessons from his triumphs and mistakes, along with the stories behind those lessons. 

Stories (with lessons) about what he made in marketing

  • Act Fast
  • Location matters
  • A $300,000 Wake-Up Call: Why your accountant matters
  • Incorporate lessons from others' mistakes into your business strategy
  • The customer is always right and make sure they are always happy
  • Look at the person, not at the product
