Yes, you heard it right. YOU are missing a BIG GAP, and it is 💡  MARKETING. 

🔌 MARKETING is the PLUG-IN, which can fill the gap in your process. It can help you connect with your prospects using different platforms seamlessly.

• To make the best out of blogs, you need to create quality content regularly that can show your business expertise, authority, and trustworthy facts.  

 3 ) CASE STUDY

• It’s a most powerful 🛠 tool for salespeople but Agencies don’t create it and if they create it then they don’t promote it on every social media platform. It’s most helpful to the BD/Sales team to generate & close leads.  
• This is used in all services businesses because you can show a prospect a product which they can see but in services, they can’t see anything. It's an experience they will get after taking your services. So case study helps them to decide whether to work with you or not. It’s again a trust-building tool that can increase your sales.
