Ah marketing – the bane of many business owners’ calendars. We’ve got to do it, but it takes precious time and resources away from what we really love doing – which is working with our clients.

By learning to do marketing in a smart way, and to create low-cost strategies with results you can measure, you can actually cut down on the time spent marketing, and focus on the techniques that WORK for your business. And one of the best ways to learn about what is and isn’t working in marketing is to read marketing blogs.

The LinkedIn function ‘people you may know’ recently popped up on my screen displaying a guy I had worked with back before I started pbHC. It was pretty strange that we weren’t already ‘linked’, as we had nearly 300 connections in common, but I dutifully clicked on his profile and had a look to see where he’d ended up.
