LESSON  20
​What is Marketing?

 LESSON  20
What is Marketing?
​

​The Starting Point

Business is based upon relationships. It’s about listening and finding out what others need.

You earn income when you are able to HELP someone with your expertise (product or service)  to do something better or quicker or easier.

Because of this benefit they are happy to pay you an appropriate fee or amount.

Your customers therefore are people that you are able to help in a real way.

​And remember, we all have a responsibility to share our gifts/expertise.
