Crossing your fingers and hoping that customers will show up isn’t the best business tactic. What if you could almost double your profits by using simple marketing tools to create attention-grabbing promos that get people buying time and time again? Celebrated restaurant marketer Howard Tinker helps people do just that.

In each episode of The Dent Podcast, we interview key people of influence in all walks of life. We delve deep to unearth how these successful people got to where they are, their trials and tribulations, as well as their successes, and what their experiences can teach us all.
