An Introvert’s Guide to Marketing
You are a business owner – congratulations! When you got started you had plenty of referrals from friends and neighbors, which was great. Those jobs are done, so now what? It’s time to sell yourself and your business. You need to talk to people about your business. Yes, you. How do you get the word out? Start with your existing customers.
