If you provide quality, educational content that helps them move through the buyer's journey, you are probably one of the solutions they will consider when they are ready to buy..."

"If you have treats, you can get their attention while you train them. One of the things I've trained Layla to do is sit at every crosswalk. That way, when a car comes, she waits for me to let her know when it's safe. She has now learned that every time she comes to a crosswalk she sits, turns around, looks at me and says, 'Okay, where's the treat?'

Okay, so what does training a dog have to do with marketing? Stay with me. I'm going to blend this into another topic, which is How to Help Marketing Build the Bridge to Better Sales (by basically giving your customers and prospects treats)..."
