Can you relate? “We throw marketing stuff out there, but engagement is low…”

Last week’s marketing session addressed a big, overwhelming challenge:

“We’re throwing content out there, but not getting any response back. We’re getting ‘Likes’ on Facebook… but we have ZERO engagement with those people. I feel like our strategy right now is throwing content out there, but not knowing what to do.”

– Aaron Britz, RIA, CEO and President of Legacy Wealth Management, a fee-only financial planning firm

Do you relate?

It’s a common frustration.  To hit a mixture of his most hard-hitting questions, Aaron and I chatted for nearly 45 mins. You can watch it here and get the minute-by-minute list of topic changes below!
