Quote  

Every once in a while, I try to disrupt that process and say, 'Hey, let's stop doing something, or let's do less and try to accomplish more. Doing less means we're more focused and we might be able to do more or get more value out of it. For a while, I disrupted our engine and I started removing pieces from the equation. We cut back on the number of episodes of podcasts we were producing, we cut back on our Google AdWord spend and things like that. We cut back on the amount of PR we were doing for ourselves and then we noticed our inbound leads are down. Right? What happened? Then we started slowly adding things back. What we've discovered is it doesn't seem to matter what we bring back, it needs everything. It needs a holistic approach to work its best. Jason Mudd, CEO and Managing Partner at Axia Public Relations
