Also, I've developed relatively sophisticated referral-based selling strategies that that require me to educate the referral sources and show them both to how manage the client's expectation(s) and more recently, very specific ways they are to refer the client.So, I utilize offline and online advertising and, obviously, give a lot of thought to each and how they fit in the overall marketing mix.I like direct mail, inbound telemarketing, well-placed, industry/profession specific print ads, direct mail, paper & ink newsletters, public speaking, press releases, blogging & forums (limited social media), direct sales (in person), some conferences and specialty advertising (mugs, pens notepads) and a few others I won't mention.
