How is catching customers like catching fish?

Chris Cree, Success CREEations, is comparing catching customers to catching fish. Here are three of the lessons:

• You get the edge if you fish in a stocked pond.
• The more you learn about the specific habits of a species of fish, the easier it is to catch them – Research, research, research.
• When you don’t catch fish, it’s 1 of 2 reasons: wrong place or wrong presentation.

Read all the lessons and more of Chris’s analysis.
