Bredemarket works with a number of technologies, but it’s no secret that my primary focus is biometrics. After all, I call myself the “biometric product marketing expert,” having worked with friction ridge (fingerprint, palm print), face, iris, voice, and rapid DNA.
If I can help your biometric firm with your content, proposal, or analysis needs, schedule a free meeting with me to discuss how I can help.
The end of the old year means the beginning of a new one.

I’ve previously talked about companies with powerful why stories. But Chantelle Davison recently pointed out something I should have realized before.
A company’s “why” story can evoke negative emotions, and for this reason can powerfully resonate with their prospects who are experiencing the same problem, and admire someone who overcame it.
As Davison tells it, her 1:1s with businesspeople often turn into confessionals. Not that I picture the lovebug-loving Chantelle as a priest, but bear with me.
“Then they tell me something they’ve been carrying around for YEARS.
“Something they’re convinced would make people think less of them.
“Something they’ve buried so deep they’d almost forgotten it was there….
“The messy backstory that shaped exactly WHY they do what they do.”
And that can resonate with prospects.
Take the Keith Puckett failure example that I shared earlier: he had purchased a home security system thinking that it would protect him…and then while he was traveling the security system sent him an alarm with no context.
Now I guess Puckett could have been embarassed by this stupid purchase of something that did no good at all. But Puckett wasn’t embarassed at all. And he tells Ubiety prospects that he spent good money on a bad system, experienced fear and helplessness…and that he NEVER wants Ubiety customers to experience those same negative emotions.
Share YOUR why story.
Even if it’s a poor tattoo choice.

And if you need help writing your why story, talk to me.
Lack of content can frighten any marketing leader. And that’s no joke.
It doesn’t scare me.
Let Bredemarket help you create your technology product marketing content.
I’m prepared to surprise some people. And they will be surprised.
I probably spend at least 30 minutes a day playing smartphone games, which means that I probably spend at least 15 minutes a day watching ads.
I’m convinced that “games” are in reality ad delivery vehicles whose sole purpose is to lure you to download other ad delivery vehicles.
But back to the topic. I’ve seen some ads countless times, which means I’ve seen this misspelling countless times over the last few months.

And apparently no one at the company (a U.S. based firm) has noticed yet.
They would…if they reviewed their existing content on a set schedule with regular content review cycles.
This is a trick I picked up in the proposal world, one I try to implement when possible.
But not always. Apparently some people are still downloading my old SIX content questions from somewhere on the Bredemarket website. Gotta track that down and fix it.
So review your content.
Or pay me to do it.
Il y a deux semaines, Bredemarket a reçu une demande de réunion entièrement rédigée en français. J’ai dû la faire traduire pour comprendre la demande. J’ai trouvé le site web de son entreprise, lui aussi entièrement en français. Je ne savais pas trop comment aider cette personne, mais j’ai maintenu la réunion pour voir ce qui se passerait. Au cas où, j’ai utilisé Google Traduction pour préparer un message du type « Je ne parle ni n’écris en français ».
Et j’en ai eu besoin.
Le prospect a rejoint l’appel, ne parlant que français et incapable de comprendre mon anglais. J’ai finalement dû partager mon écran avec mon message traduit, et là, il est resté muet. J’avais oublié comment dire « au revoir » lors d’un appel professionnel en français, alors j’ai raccroché.
« Mais John », me direz-vous, « pourquoi ne pas écrire en anglais et traduire ensuite ? Tu pourrais gagner des fortunes comme ça ! » Cet article de blog devrait vous démontrer les inconvénients de cette approche. Quand les mots sont essentiels, il vous faut un rédacteur qui maîtrise les subtilités du français des affaires. Pas un texte traduit automatiquement. (« Une tonne d’euros ??? »)
Two weeks ago, Bredemarket received a meeting request written entirely in French. I had to run it through a translator just to see what the person was requesting. I found his company’s website, which was again written entirely in French. I wasn’t sure how I could help this person, but I kept the meeting anyway to see what would happen. Just in case I needed it, I used Google Translate to prepare a “I don’t speak or write in French” message.
Turns out I needed it.
The prospect joined the call, speaking only French and unable to comprehend my English. I finally had to share my screen with my translated “I don’t speak or write in French” message, at which point he said nothing. I had forgotten the proper way to say “good bye” on a French business call, so I just hung up.
“But John,” you’re saying, “why don’t you write in English and just translate it to French? You can make a ton of Euros that way!” This blog post should demonstrate the drawbacks of this approach. When words are critical, you need a writer who understands the nuances of business French. Not some text translated by a bot. (“Ton of Euros???”)
If I had to choose three videos that represented today’s Bredemarket, I would choose the three listed below:
I placed all three in this YouTube playlist.
I’ve shared all three as an Instagram story (which will probably have expired when you see this).
And I’m sharing them again below.
Those are good essentials.
