Are You Market Ready?

I have a standard answer to the question, “How are you?’Marketing Without Money

“Sweet, lovable kind, thrifty, brave, clean and all that
other boy scout stuff… would you like to buy a bridge?”


It is silly but I’ve been doing it so long that friends get concerned
when I don’t respond that way.

But there is a kernel there that all of us need to consider.
The boy scout motto is Be Prepared.

That is not a bad piece of advice.

Are you ready? Are you prepared to market yourself and your
business?

If you are you should be able to check off these items. If
you can’t check them off, call me.
