Marketing Minute: Dale Sparks

Dale gave an overview of “Raving Fans” by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles. The book talks about how to convert happy customers into ‘raving fans’ by outlining the problem and providing the solution of three secrets.

Dale has experienced many instances of this and gave a recent example of a client he’s had for more than 15 years. She’s referred many people over the years, including one just this week.
