Summary

Your website is the front door to your business, and you only have a few seconds to win over a customer before they either engage with your brand or move on. That's why it's crucial that your website is clear and simply explains how you will help your potential customer solve a problem to make their life better.

 

In today's coaching conversation, Donald Miller talks with Sam, a retired law enforcement officer starting up a personal protection agency. Don helps Sam craft his brand and message so it is completely clear to any future customers. If you are too close to your message or don't quite know how to talk about what you do so people get excited to buy your products, you're going to love today's coaching conversation.
