<p style="text-align: justify;">This week I had Will Wang back on for a conversation about direct marketing.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Will, in fact. has just successfully sold his consulting business and was super generous with me asking him a stack of questions about a subject I have been fascinated with for a long time now&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">How do you get the attention of your ideal clients by going direct to them rather than spending a truck load on marketing and waiting for them to hopefully come to you?</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">There&#8217;s a stack of gold in Will&#8217;s and My chat &#8211; I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll get a heap out of it.</p>
