Aaron Hockel

Being busy doesn’t mean being productive or profitable. You have to have the right people in the right positions and have the right tools, systems, and processes in place. An essential piece of your success is marketing. Join us to learn the best ways to approach marketing in 2022, along with ways to grow your business without spending big marketing dollars.

Aaron Hockel, from AltaVista Strategic Partners, is a frequent guest who is one of my marketing go-to guys. Aaron shares the basics of putting together a marketing plan for 2022, including how small companies can start with marketing and build their brand as their business grows.
