Media Buyers are jugglers who take into account Audience saturation, ad fatigue, budget, and creative.

Is your product or service worth the money? That is what your customers and clients are asking. The perception behind this is that a cost-saving price point will be a strong value proposition for your potential customers. I'm here to say, that is incorrect. A strong brand and service will provide quality over price, and will be WELL worth the amount spent. This episode is for Agency Owners and Freelancers who are setting their prices - you may be selling yourself short. If you have terrible clients that breathe down your neck, your client's perception of your value may be low. They may not trust your work, or they may have little respect for the amount of work it takes to complete your job. The solution? Add Zeros. Then prove it.

Marketing and Sales coincide with one another in all forms of business. They're so closely intertwined that sometimes people confuse the two. Entry-level "Marketing" positions can reveal themselves to be door-to-door sales, entry-level "Sales" positions can have more marketing involved than initially anticipated. Despite this overlap, there are some key differences to identify to keep you on track for your career. Just a heads up - I'm a marketer, not a salesperson, and that reveals itself often in this episode!

The best way to grow your business is to become more efficient - essentially, do more with less. And one of the easiest ways to accomplish that is... by outsourcing your work.
