MarTech Podcast ™ // Marketing + Technology = Business Growth

In our third and final episode for this series with Vinnie, we talked about the effects of accelerated online buying behavior, how we actually have an offer problem and not a traffic problem, the waste going on with customer acquisition, and the right approach to the problem of having too much cash. We also discussed the need to go deeper, instead of wider in terms of cultivating channels and when is the right time to think about the long-term investment to grow your business.  Show NotesConnect With:Vinnie Fisher: Website // LinkedIn The MarTech Podcast: Email // Newsletter // TwitterBenjamin Shapiro: Website // LinkedIn //  TwitterSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
