UNFUDGE YOUR MARKETING

Kristi and her husband decided to sell their cottage. They chose the most polished, well-known realtor in the area. Expensive SUVs, impressive marketing materials, a structured process, and a story about selling a property down the road for way more than expected. It all looked exactly right.

In this solo episode, Kristi connects her own real estate experience to a mistake she hears from business owners on this show all the time, and what she wishes she had done differently before signing on the dotted line.

You'll learn:

If you have ever made a hiring decision based on what looked good instead of what was right for you, this one is going to feel very familiar.
