#159 Customer Insights: The Starting Point for all your Marketing Services with Melissa Harstine

Content Marketing Series #2 Collecting customer insights for a client can be really hard. And it’s freakin time-consuming. I see so many people in large Facebook groups who ask market research questions and then no one answers them.  Guess what– there’s a better way. Today, Melissa Harstine is sharing the key to gathering customer insights the right way. Her tips are going to unlock everything for building a great content strategy: how you talk to people, how you engage them, how you cold pitch them, and how to create content that converts. Melissa, a customer insights strategist, helps 6- and 7-figure course creators close the gap between what they want to say and what their audience actually needs to hear before they're ready to buy. The result? Ideal clients convert faster, and the course or program continues to grow.
