Buying or attracting?
As I tell my clients, you can hire salespeople and buy advertising, or you can use a little creativity and build a growing crowd of advocates. That’s a crowd who have the attention and trust of the people they’re sharing your message with.
Trusted people, spreading your message with their friends, for free, is an exceptionally effective way to grow your business.
