Quotes

“You need to be a little bit careful what you wish for, because it’s hard work. You’ve got to be on the game, you’ve got to have your supply chain in check, you’ve got to be innovative, you’ve got to be good at developing relationships. And most importantly, you really need to work out how you’re going to have a profitable business.” – David Burns

“We use the podcast as a content creation tool to explore stories with customers and partners to then share and create content to post across multiple channels.” – Tim Hyde

“Doing something consistently, even if it’s only once a week, is actually more important than not doing anything at all or doing it inconsistently.” – Tim Hyde

“Have consistent content, share stories about what you’re doing, and put it out through social media on a consistent basis. It builds relationships with prospects so they feel like they know you. And if you don’t do that with some consistency, you won’t get the opportunity to create that relationship and the intimacy with the customer to bring them on.” – Tim Hyde
