Use Three Simple Questions To Fix Marketing
- Do: Ask three marketing questions regularly to simplify decisions.
- Check what's working and double it, stop what's not, and resurrect past tactics that used to perform well.

- Use concrete buyer language (HR vs sales managers) to match existing expectations and price points.
