Stories are so impactful in gaining sales for your product, no matter what it is. In this episode, Rob explores what he believes to be the best way to sell, via results based case studies.

Small businesses make up for a very large proportion of the economy, as much as 90% in some cases. BEST MOMENTS   “Business drives the economy, anything that you need to survive a business, an entrepr
