The Truth About 'Turning On' Marketing for Your Firm
Rachel and Marcus dive deep into their marketing experiments at DBA, including a candid discussion of spending $500,000 on initiatives that didn't quite work out as planned. They share valuable insights about the importance of clearly defining your ideal client and services before investing in any marketing efforts, whether internal or outsourced. The conversation explores their successful strategy of client block exits and how they've ultimately found better growth through nurturing existing client relationships rather than aggressive marketing campaigns.
