The million dollar question, does inbound marketing work? This is a GREAT question and I get asked it by a lot of clients who are not familiar with inbound.
In this short video, I share two case studies highlighting how inbound works. The first case study is our interview with Marcus Sheridan, the Sales Lion and owner of River Pools and Spas (http://bit.ly/1127Byb) and the second is our interview with Krista Kotrla of Block Imaging (http://bit.ly/14nt1uv).
When you put in the work, work intelligently and consistently, inbound has amazing power and potential.
Here are a couple of quick stats:
