I’ve been told it is a marketing cliche that you need seven touches in order to get your message across. Basically, the more touches or contact you can have with a prospective customer in as many ways as possible, the more likely you are to build strong relationships and build your brand.In this workshop I will explain a Marketing/Branding sequence that can be used by anyone (business, entrepreneur or individual) to get your message across and build your brand through LinkedIn.
