Why introverts make great marketers
This episode is about my recent experience being interviewed on the WatkinSofa, and why automated emails are an absolute must for any business.
So why do Introverts make great marketers? If you listened to the last episode, you’ll remember that I was once fired for being too quiet. Ironically, that supposed ‘weakness’ has turned out to be one of my biggest strengths and that moment is what helped me define my future.
