How to Use Social Media to Attract New Business
Gaining new business has always been a challenge for agencies – and now, with the paradigm shift in business development, it’s become tougher than ever.
In a previous new-business CMO study, 80% of decision makers said that they had found their vendors, not the other way around.
Interruptive type tactics, such as cold calling and email blasts, have become ineffective; it’s now more important to be found, rather than to chase new business.
