Grow your business with clear messaging, with Orly Zeewy, MBA

Many businesses struggle to craft and deliver the right message for their target audience. Unfortunately, this struggle also has a very real impact on the financial health of a company. Poor messaging will not just confuse and possibly alienate the intended audience, but it is also equivalent to wasting money on a lot of marketing tactics that won’t work.

Clear and strong messaging that will engage customers to listen, trust – and try – a brand is crucial to the growth of the business. It can spell the difference between success – connecting with new customers, finding investors, attracting strategic partners, and the right team members – and failure to earn revenues and turn a profit.

So how can businesses harness the power of clarity and create messages that can effectively rise above the marketing clutter and reach their target audience?

In this episode of Help! My Business Is Growing, our guest Orly Zeewy unravels the “mysteries” of why (and how) creating a clear message that can help grow your business.
