55 Relying On Word Of Mouth Could Be A Bad Thing

Published on: 27th February, 2023

Word of mouth is, of course, brilliant.  It feels great too.  But, what if you want to grow or scale your business?

Typically, when we launch something new, we need to get beyond our existing clients.  And that needs visibility, in a style where you can decide what message is being spread.

I know a few people who rely on word of mouth, and have no intention of growing their business.

But this is for people who do want to grow or scale.  
This is for people who want to reach a wider audience, outside of their existing clients.

Here's what I talk about:

  • Why relying on word of mouth can be a bad thing
  • What you can do instead
  • Ways to ensure marketing isn't overwhelming
  • Three ways to unlock what to write when marketing your business

Enjoy :-)
