KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

• Small businesses need to market themselves differently than big agencies.
• Reputation will always be important in business.
• To have a good business reputation, sell something wonderful, then follow through with great customer service.
• Life-cycle marketing is creating a customer for the long term. It is about managing the relationship.
• If you have bad reviews from one or two people, determine if it is real.
• Publicly respond nicely to all reviews. Respond to every review, regardless if it is a positive or negative review.
