Negative perception isn’t always fair but it is probably right
Favourable perception is earned over time and provides a strong foundation for everything that you do … and everything that you want to do.
In a business with staff, the held perception of the company is determined both individually and the sum total of every employee’s interactions.
Everything contributes to how you are perceived Perception underpins all aspects of Marketing. Therefore Everything is Marketing. Have a great 2019.
