How to Utilize Social Media for Lead Utilization

Sprinkling YOU into Your Brand
Monday June 3, 2019

New brand, who dis? One of the most frustrating (and sometimes unanswerable) questions in business and in life is, Who are you? Unfortunately, its also one of the most important. Knowing who you are in business (and in life) makes it a lot easier for others to understand what youre all about. And people want to do business with people that they like, right?
