Pet business marketing is costing you clients every single day — and you probably don't even realize you're doing it. Pet sitters, dog walkers, and pet care business owners who lead with credentials, years of experience, and "we love animals" are invisible to the clients who need them most. This episode shows you why your marketing sounds like everyone else's and how to fix it with one specific tool: the Customer Avatar. This is Episode 457 of Bella In Your Business.
