Marketing builds Trust!The messages you develop are focused on gaining the trust of potential customers.

Sales builds Revenue!The messages you build are focused on closing sales. You cannot close sales without lots of trust. For this reason send 10 to 20 marketing messages for every 1 sales message. Of course, a customer will always find you if they are ready to buy – even if it is a marketing message.
