As you will hear from my guest today Paul Greive of Primal Pastures "One of the most important things about marketing is not convincing people your product is X, it's about finding people who actually want X."   Therefore Primal Pasture’s sole job as marketers is to try to find and sell to the believers.  The customers who value their product for what it is and are willing to pay for it.     Over time they have learned that "It's a really sustainable model when you can start focusing on the customer and then you can figure out what products meet their needs and what your skills are to make those products.”  It’s a key distinction that they have made for their brand, Primal Pastures and one that they have stuck too.   Branding and marketing are just one of the topics that Paul Greive of Primal Pastures and I talk about today.

Today I am asking the question - Can you farm business scale enough to matter?  If not, then why are you doing it or what can you change?  Can the business scale, do you have a business or a job, and can your markets handle enough sales volume?
