Is it because I feel like I need to be or I should be, or am I truly using it from a place of enjoyment?” “Where do I want to be? What do I enjoy? And now how can I use this in a way that makes sense?” “That’s what they’re going to connect with… with the business owner who knows what they think and knows how they talk. “A big part of Voice of Customer is knowing what to take and what to leave.” About the Guest Sara Frandina is a conversion copywriter with an insatiable appetite for learning, all of the books, and popcorn.
