Love It !! :-) 
 
Outbound marketing all the way, pushing your stuff and saying how great you are.... NOT

Your capital I's in this presentation were very distracting. I'm only on slide 16 and I had to stop just to tell you how annoying it is. I will continue to read this presentation and future blog posts but only if you promise NEVER,EVER to use the capital I's again! Thank you.

Ryan has done it again. Great slides. Great tips.

One really geat way to suck at marketing is to publish a slid show that reads:- 
 
"We have encountered an error, 
please refresh the page"!

Just watched your slide show "How to Totally Suck @ Marketing"... interesting ... ;) 
BTW underneath the slide show on the same page is a marketing promo to down load a free e-book... 
the CTA has a typo ..."learn to create and execute a marketing campaign that makes your love you."

Stores and Wholesalers might find advantage to visit this website. Great profits are awaiting you.

Couldn't load your slide presentation. Trouble with marketing on web!

Your video will not load. That does suck. Is this the only lesson? lol

How true!

Dang. One yucky marketing problem: 
 
"We have encountered an error,  
please refresh the page"!  

Funny! Love it.

For those of you who were having trouble viewing the slideshow, can you try again? We speculate that SlideShare may have been down or having technical difficulties for a while. Everything seems to be working smoothly now.  
 
Jeanna -- Thanks for alerting me to the typo in the CTA! I'm updating it now. Good eye! :)

We just laughed out loud. This is exactly what we run into all the time. It is seriously like taking away a client's "woobie!" They have a hard time letting go of their old habits!  
I want to repurpose your slides!!!!!

good presentation!

Notwithstanding the typos, great stuff and (Ouch!) painfully true. Thanks for a fresh take on the virtues of inbound marketing.

I was excited to check this out, but it's still not working.

I'm very interested in how to suck at marketing, but not so interested that I want to click my way through 60 slides. = /

Not sure why all the negativity here! If you've never worked with Hubspot before, you are missing out. They truly are the leaders of inbound marketing.

Brilliant!! I can't stop laughing and sadly enough I know we all know a few 1999ers.

You guys know your stuff.

This was AWESOME. Great job. I enjoyed that great laugh... sadly, some people won't get it!

Also don't forget to spend all your time worrying about serp rank - who cares about content quality, people don't read that stuff anyway!

Bwahahahahaha this is brilliant!  
 
Despite the grammar police out in force. Lighten up people! At least we can have some fun doing marketing :) 
 
And I love how you used the medium (slideshare) to tell a story. Great idea, love it. Want to use slideshare more and this is a good example.

Ah, spelling & grammar... Such power to make a company look like a bunch of idiots... even when they're not.

As much as I really enjoy reading your articles, it really is annoying trying to watch a slide show that does not load. You should really fix it or advise what to do to watch it.

I still can't get the slide show to work. I'll check back later though because the other people's comments are intriguing me.

I'd really like to see the slide show but it won't load. this is the second Hubspot post I've had this problem with in the last couple of days.

Awesome slide show!  
 
It's amazing how even with capital I's and some encountered errors, there are still so many people who have received and commented on this blog post. (taking possibly 5 minutes out of their day to think about HubSpot) 
 
The slide show brings up some great questions for marketers and small business owners to think about as we roll into 2013.

I enjoyed the sarcastic slideshow. I want marketing that works. I find it hilarious that so many blogs, books, and companies still use old marketing strategies and get no where. I rather not using $$$ on mailings to people I do not know. Also, I am curious to know why the number of websites hasn't increased when such a large percentage of buyers are online. (just a thought) Thank you for sharing this slideshow.

Not sure what the problem is with slide #40 - the rest of it makes perfect sense though ;)

Spend too much time thinking about yourself instead of others, and you're likely to suck at marketing.

Still getting the error message .... 
 
"We have encountered an error,  
please refresh the page"!  
 

Really great slideshow. I think we all fall into sucking at marketing at times.

Wow! People just love to bash every one else huh? Pointing out typos, bashing the slide! I love how you can kill them with love :) 
 
Anyways I loved it! Super funny yet very informative!

in that my job requires outbound calls; I still loved the piece. I hope to be able to get change going in my sales department.

I can't look at the slides on my work computer so I love how on other posts you have put them underneath in picture form. I would really appreciate it if you could do that with all your slideshows.  
 
Love your work,

Thanks for putting across this important message in an interesting way

While a lot of these marketing mistakes seem too obvious to miss, a lot of us marketers still end up doing them. In the desire to get even a little bit more business leads, they just end up losing way more. 
 
Thanks for this excellent reminder, Ryan.

Great points, I have forwarded this on to a couple of clients, just to reenforce my point about changing up their current marketing mantra. You presented this in a great, not-offensive and humorous way-- Thanks!

This sure does SUCK! Cannot load it!

Great content, great style! Reminds me of the current TV ad for the Dodge Dart. Lots of people complaining they can't load/view, not good, well guess what, the pdf file is 28MB. That's way too big for fast response. Gotta master the technology. But keep up the good work.

I couldn't get it to load until I hit the "fullscreen" icon, then it worked find. I am sure that many of us are guilty of some of these marketing don'ts.

If only it were this simple to prove to clients their marketing is in desperate need of an overhaul. Also, I just love getting double glazing calls whilst i'm trying to eat my tea.

Hi, 
The slideshow not loading or not working.
