  2. Focus where your time matters most – If your strength is negotiating deals, don’t get stuck managing ads and campaigns. Outsource marketing and stay in your zone of genius.

  3. Speed to lead is everything – The faster you respond to an inbound lead, the more likely you are to close it. Delay, and they’ll go find someone else.
