Forget “Vibing,” Traction is Where It’s At

We’ve all heard the buzz about “vibe” marketing, vibe coding and vibe – everything and let’s be serious. If it has “vibe” in the name it means “Zero skill and a subscription to ChatGPT.” But if you’re running a real business – especially one engaged in the sale of services you don’t need more vibes.

This podcast is brought to you by the High Value Advisor, an 8 week, live cohort to reposition you and your work as the “go-to” expert in your field. www.claritymarketingsupport.com/hva The post Forget “Vibing,” Traction is Where It’s At appeared first on The B2B Marketing Mindset.
