    JMS460: When in doubt, go to the source

    Continuing from the last episode... we're going to craft a truly irresistible offer. The point is to make both the solution AND the offer superior so it's a clear, obvious, "no-brainer" why a potential client should choose our service over everyone else who does the exact same thing. Do THAT and marketing and sales become almost obsolete -- or at the very least... a helluva lot easier. Beginner's Guide to Freelance Course: https://myjohn.us/bgtf Hosted on Acast.
