| 0:06.8 | If you've been a PT listener for any period of time, you know that we talk about top of funnel |
| 0:10.5 | all the time and how challenging it is for you to get quality top of funnel clients or leads |
| 0:17.9 | or customers and then convert them typically at bottom of funnel. |
| 0:22.9 | Well, TV advertising is one of those areas that we haven't discussed here on PT all that much. |
