Listen "Episode 781 – Why “FREE” Is A Four Letter Word That’s Bad For B2b Businesses?"
Episode Synopsis
Most of us have fallen victim to the allure of FREE stuff. I had a freezer full of big bags and boxes of frozen food from going to Sam’s Club and being a victim of the FREE sample person standing in the aisle.
