The Attract Raving Fans Podcast

Most businesses create their best moments by accident. One thing they stumbled into and never thought to build on purpose. In this episode, Alan tells the story of Andy, a personal trainer whose gym stayed full because of referrals, while an equally skilled new trainer’s clients stayed quiet. Until Andy figured out it came down...
