According to speaker NELLY AGBOGU, one of the main issues facing young business owners is visibility—the ability to be recognized for their company and to standardize.
Many business owners have been performing a lot of operations rather than concentrating on marketing since they haven’t learned how to standardize their business or how to sell.
Therefore, a lot of individuals will prefer to buy from business owners who concentrate on being visible and building trust in their business.
