Marketing: How You Can Be An All Star Marketer

How You Can Be An All Star Marketer

Written by Dave Cole

In a very special All Star baseball game, my son, Karl was selected to play against an All Star team from Japan.

This game featured a team of repparttar best players from south - western Pennsylvania to play against a team of repparttar 121916 best players from Japan. The game kicked off repparttar 121917 2001 Pony League World Series.

Our team had so many pitchers that each boy was allowed to throw 1 inning. Karl pitched repparttar 121918 6th inning for us and was repparttar 121919 only pitcher repparttar 121920 team from Japan didn't score on.

Of course our boys lost repparttar 121921 game to an almost professional team, but it was a wonderful experience for all. Quite an honor just to be chosen and it was a day they will remember for repparttar 121922 rest of their lives.

There was a reason why Karl was chosen. He had proven himself to be a very good ball player in our previous All Star tournament play. At repparttar 121923 plate he had a batting average of .400 and he was our team's leading pitcher giving up only 2 earned runs with an Earned Run Average of 1.08.

Pitching in repparttar 121924 regular season he gave up a grand total of 2 hits

the entire season and allowed zero earned runs to cross repparttar 121925 plate. For repparttar 121926 last 3 years almost 75% of repparttar 121927 batters he has gotten out have come from strikeouts.

But, this article is not about his accomplishments, it is about repparttar 121928 struggles and hard work he went through to get there.

Friends, as a baseball coach I want you to know this: Baseball players are made - not born.

As an online marketer, I want you to know this: Online marketers are made - not born.

Back when Karl was 9, he had a great desire to become a pitcher. We set up a special area in our barn where we could practice. Every night we would be out there working for endless hours on his throwing mechanics. He threw me thousands upon thousands of pitches and we learned from every pitch.
