What do I do to gain more views, more orders, and more consumers into my business? “I offered a 10 % discount over the final price and it didn't work”, “I sent new emails to my customers with updates about my product and no one replayed”, ``I launched the new menu for my cafeteria and still my numbers are low”... Does this sound familiar to you?
