November 19th, 2007 at 4:48 pmHello,
on your latest post there wasn’t a comment box. As a marketer of masterbizbuilders.com I am always seeking new ways of marketing. Given this, our goal is to help business owners to be better as well.
Great postings - and ideas. Writing articles is one of the best ways to market yourself and writing to people that are in the same niche is an excellent way to cross-promote.
The one thing I would like to add for a marketing tip is to take some time to profile the kind of clients you want to provide services to. Once you do this then everything else will just fall into place. It’s similar to writing out your sales plan.
