Take this quick quiz to see how well you know and understand your prospects. If you can't answer these questions, how can you be sure you are connecting with your audience in a relevant and meaningful way?
How can you be sure you are reaching them with a compelling message about your product or service?
How can you be sure you are tapping into the conversation they are already having inside their own head with respect to your product or service?
I would argue you can't. And if you can't do these things, your marketing will not be effective.
