On this episode of the Midway Business Podcast, Butch Zemar sits down with Chicago business consultant James DiMambro to unpack the “Rule of Threes”—why boiling things down to three clear benefits, values, or differentiators can set small and midsize businesses apart. (Because let’s be honest—if your pitch deck needs 47 slides to explain your value, you’ve already lost the room.)
With nearly two decades of experience across marketing, sales, and customer success, James has worked with everyone from scrappy startups to Fortune 500s. He explains why sharpening your brand, simplifying your message, and delivering consistency across marketing, sales, and client experience is the real secret sauce to credibility.
They also dive into common SMB missteps—from tuning out customer feedback to fearing AI instead of letting it take the grunt work off your plate.
Tune in for practical insights that will help you cut through the noise, gain an edge, and grow with confidence.
