3 Key Points
1. Lead Pilot allows for content creation, landing pages for the dissemination of
that content, social media scheduling, email marketing, and the gathering of your prospect’s data as they engage with the content.
2. Inbound marketing involves providing as many answers and as much helpful
information to anybody that wants it for free. Then those people absorb that information and come to you when they are ready to engage with your services.

you.
