That is Rule #1.marketing business rules Just think back to when you started your business, the excitement, the trepidation, the worries and the dreams. You thought because you or your product was good, people would beat a path to your door but there is a good chance that did not happen. You may have learned the lesson that the hardest thing can be getting people to buy from you! If so, you are not alone. | In other words, they do not think like marketers.
