How I get instant "yes" to every marketing request 🙋‍♂️

My biggest problem at work was never my boss.

It was getting help from people who don’t give a sh*t if I succeed. 💩

  • Sales didn’t care if my content performed.

  • Engineering didn’t care if my case study got published.

  • Customer success didn’t care if my LinkedIn post went viral.

They’re all too busy with their own jobs.

But here’s the thing - as a marketer, you need these people for everything:

Results = Your work + Help from people who don't work in marketing

Most marketers send weak requests. Then get ignored.

I was the marketer nobody wanted to help 👻

“Hey, can someone like this LinkedIn post?” → Crickets.

“Anyone free for a quick feature explanation?” → Nothing.

My response rate was maybe 5% on a good day.

At one point I even started sending everyone images of the empty chair when no one showed up:

But then I found a cheat code 🧠

Now, when I send the exact same requests, I get 95%+ response rates.

People even volunteer before I ask.

What changed? Well, I cracked the code on internal buy-in… 👇
