Key Takeaways:

• Don’t focus solely on making sales or prioritizing new customers. Instead, focus on building stronger relationships with your current customers, as they are the key to referrals and sustainable growth. ~Jessika Phillips [08:53]

• When it comes to marketing, less is often more. ~Jessika Phillips [13:56]

• Dark social refers to sharing content through private channels that are not easily tracked by web analytics or social media tools, such as private messaging apps. When someone shares a link or content through these private channels, it often remains invisible to social media tracking tools and website analytics. ~Jessika Phillips [28:10]

• AI is becoming the new Google, but you can still stand out by engaging with AI about your business, ensuring you remain a valuable and visible resource. ~Jessika Phillips [36:20]
