Episode 039: Going Old School

I was checking through my emails the other day and answering lots of questions on social media, marketing and lead generating. I stopped at one question that really sparked my interest: “what methods of communication are we currently missing out on?” Social media is what we do and what we love and you MUST have a social media presence in 2020 to grow. BUT I am still a big lover of the old school method; chatting to people in person or picking up the phone. Today is going to be a fun episode as we talk about some clever ways you can connect on a personal level and build relationships that will make you stand out, especially in a time where a lot of our connection is digital!
