Myth #1. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT AND MARKETING ARE INTERCHANGEABLE TERMs
Marketing is about being found, not chosen. How you get found is through publicity – media outreach, networking, collateral materials, conducting and attending workshops — that targets the eyes, ears and interests of your potential clients.
