When you’re doing your marketing, do you actively search for leads, or do you wait for them to come to you?
There really isn’t one single right way to do things, but you’ll find that there are companies out there who will take the ‘if you build it, they will come’ approach, where they post their content on platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, run some ads through Google Ads, and call it good.
