The Stern Truth Business Unfiltered: Why Marketing Can Fail You
In this episode, I tackle one of the biggest mistakes we entrepreneurs and small business owners make today: relying too heavily on marketing without having proper systems in place.
Drawing from my 35+ years of experience growing multiple businesses, I reveal the stark difference between businesses that just advertise and those that truly serve. You'll hear why the business owner who answers the phone and solves problems will always win against competitors with flashy websites but poor follow-through.
If you're a founder or small business entrepreneur looking to grow sustainably, I offer practical wisdom on creating systems that turn marketing leads into loyal customers. Discover how to balance your marketing efforts with excellent customer service, and why this approach is essential for surviving economic downturns when competition intensifies.
