People do business with:
Those they know.
Those they trust.

Offer: what you’re providing
Channel: where you’re reaching your audience

Timeframe: when do they get it?
During any time in this webinar, throw your questions in the chat and I’ll go through them at the end. I’ve received a couple through email, so I’ll be sure to address those as well.
I’m sure we each felt something different from that ad.
How do we use influencer marketing if we can’t get a celebrity? Why do Apple and Coke not have calls to action or a lot of the things you mentioned?
