What once worked for marketing has stopped working today. But the good news is, relational approaches will win out over the transactional every time. In this episode, Trey Sheneman joins Alex to break down his 5A Flywheel for effective marketing. He explains the key question you need to answer for customers at each stage, and he also provides a state of the union for today’s marketing and sales landscape.
