Is it for me?
  • You run a local business - what do we mean by that?  It means you visit your clients or they visit you - your customers are local to you.
  • You want ideas about connecting and talking with your customers and prospects.
  • You feel there is lots of conflicting advice and you want to know what's right for you, where to start and how much you should expect to pay.
