Marketing Blind Spots: What Happens When Clients Don’t Know You Exist

Business Owner Interview
Written By Marketing Uncomplicated

Tina Larsson built a consultancy for co-op and condo boards in New York City. The only problem? Nobody knew that kind of business existed, nobody was searching for it, and the people who might refer clients to her felt threatened by what she did.

In this episode, Tina shares what it actually looks like to market a business that has no search category, how she found her way forward through a series of the right coaches at the right time, and the lesson she wishes she had learned before she launched.

You’ll learn:

  • What happens when your ideal clients are not searching for you and cannot be easily found

  • Why the most obvious referral source turned out to be a dead end

  • How Tina went from zero traction to meaningful visibility and what it actually took to get there

  • Why finding the right fit provider matters as much as finding any provider at all

  • The market research shortcut her business coach gave her that completely reframed how she thought about it

  • What she would do differently before starting the business if she could go back

If you have ever felt like you are marketing into a void because nobody knows your category exists yet, this conversation is going to resonate.
