Moment of Truth
Does your website content talk more about your company? ◦ Or the problems that you solve for your clients?
Tip: During the first 70%+ of the buyer’s journey, even the best prospects won’t give a you-know-what* about your services until you’ve established trusted advisor status. ◦ * Trying to keep today’s content PG-13 (insert your own expletive)
