35. Summary
Marketing is like dating:
Buyer/ seller each on their own timelines
Continuously gauge interest and buying signals; deliver what the seller
is seeking at the right time
Keys to success:
Ensuring “recency” (top of mind) and interactivity
Filling the marketing funnel early and often
• You want time to be your friend, not your enemy
Establishing trust and value BEFORE buying cycle begins
Not selling too early or skipping steps (cheating) can alienate buyer
before buying cycle even begins
