It’s the first meeting for the day but you’ve probably lost the count of the number of “circling backs”, “follow-up emails”, and calls you made before this one.

Do you ever wonder whether marketing alone is sufficient to attract customers and increase revenue? What if your marketing campaign is not working, but you are unaware and continue to pursue the strategy?
