Here’s the thing. I’m quite aware that Scalable is not the only place on the internet where entrepreneurs go to find help.
There are plenty of experts out there who create a seemingly endless amount of content to help people like you and me successfully grow their businesses.
So this week, I’m pooling together a master list of resources and tools that will help you implement the Scaling Customer Acquisition Strategy we’ve been talking about for the last few weeks.
Throughout this series on acquisition I’ve mentioned just how daunting it can be to take the leap to go negative.
Hopefully, this will help make the jump a bit less nerve-wracking.
These resources have influenced my thinking, inspired me to action, and even helped explain concepts that were difficult to pick up at first.
My hope is that by sharing these resources, they will help encourage you to broaden your mindset when it comes to acquisition, and actually take action to improve your outcomes!
Enjoy!
