I am not your bulls eye

Listening to  Seth Godin at PDF Conference on Friday, I was reminded again how good he is at cutting to the heart of the issue with great metaphors and images.  In Seth's words: "Don't be a hunter, be a farmer."

Old marketers behave as hunters with their sights on unsuspecting me.

New marketers behave as farmers, focusing on sustainability, feeding, attention and care.


I don't like feeling like I have a bulls eye on my back - do you?

Exactly. Seth is a great storyteller.

I agree 100% with the concept. If you are not a target what are marketers to call you? A crop, seed, or species?

Seedling...gotta nurture me. Seriously - a person that owes them nothing. Problem is I am not something to catch and kill.
