Why mostly exists.

I'm Nick Anscombe, and I created Mostly with the aim of bridging a critical skills gap that often hinders small business owners as they strive to grow.

Many entrepreneurs can launch their businesses with solid relationships and maintain them with loyal customers, but true, sustainable growth requires a robust marketing strategy and full utilisation of available tools.

The 80/20 rule, or Pareto Principle, reveals that often, 80% of business growth stems from just 20% of focused marketing efforts.

In other words, while various factors contribute to a company’s foundation, marketing is the primary engine driving sustained growth.

By focusing on the high-impact marketing activities that produce the most significant results, small businesses can channel their resources more effectively, driving consistent progress without wasting time or money on less productive tactics.

With a strategic approach, small businesses have the power to compete with large brands, leveraging their unique strengths to stand out and build a loyal customer base in even the most competitive markets.

Another common challenge I found among small businesses is their underutilisation of HubSpot.

Although it's widely recognised as one of the best CRMs on the market, many businesses invest heavily in this powerful tool without a clear strategy for leveraging its full potential.

As a result, many features designed to drive growth remain overlooked, leaving much of HubSpot's value untapped.
