Great actionable info for small business!

For small business owners, PR can be a strange idea that doesn’t make sense to them. Janice takes the concepts from her work experience and brings them to the level of a small business owner. The result is practical, actionable, affordable steps that small businesses and solopreneurs can follow that will make a real difference in their visibility.

As a market researcher I loved the episode on customer research - it is so important to do your homework up front so you use the right words and get your message in the right place.

I would recommend this podcast to any solopreneur or small business owner looking for new ways to stand out in a crowded market. Thanks Janice!
