Software I couldn’t live without

What software do you currently use in your business that if someone took away from you, it would significantly impact your marketing success?

My number 1 takeaway

What’s the single most important step from our discussion that our listeners need to take away and implement in their businesses?

If you’re marketing a product, spend a lot of time thinking about your unique selling proposition – what makes you unique in the marketplace. Because if you’re able to do that, the rest of your marketing will be easier and you’ll stand out from your competitors and help drive more traffic and more sales to whatever you’re doing.
