Capital Market Conduit

AppleJack

If another business tells me they soley rely on word of mouth marketing for all their business referrals, I’ll scream.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with word of mouth marketing – and god only knows we do actually talk about it with clients all the time – but the way some people refer to it with a shrug of their shoulders like they don’t know how its working for them, can be infuriating

Okay. So this is going to be controversial. I mentioned I was going to be writing this to a group of business people last week and I got a big 'ooooo' from them. So here we go.

To test this out, I'm going to focus on searching for an electrician in Brisbane. I do appreciate that certain trades are going to be more prone to be found this way - people don't look for advertising agencies via the Yellow Pages - but we'll use this one as an example.
