| Marketing 101: Where Do I Even Start? Paul Stine, CloseSimple Now that title & escrow companies are diving deeper into marketing, many are asking: Where do I even start? It's a foreign world for most, and a one-size fits all approach rarely works. Good marketing is grounded in three fundamental questions: 1. Who am I as a company? Who is my customer? What/where is the best place to reach them? In this breakout session, we'll dig deeper into these three questions and talk about actionable takeaways to start building the foundation for your marketing initiatives. |
