Memorable Quotes:

• “When it comes to using social media for client attraction, content is maybe 20% of the game. The other 80% is the engagement, the conversations—really connecting with your ideal clients.” 
• “If you’re not connecting on a personal 1:1 level with your ideal clients on social media, then you’re not going to get clients on social media.” 
• “People only want to work with other people that they really like and trust. The only way to build that trust is to show up as yourself.”
