Today, Robert joins me to describe the essential aspects of marketing and how follow-ups separate the men from boys. He shares how he got started in the industry and why he chose to focus on turn-key investments. He explains why follow-ups are a staple in any industry and why a lot of companies fail to utilize the marketing strategies they use. He also offers advice regarding CRM software – specifically why any expanding business should use one.
