Is Business Possible Without Marketing?

Without a marketing plan, your company's growth will slow and could even stall. There will be very few new customers, and existing customers may not know about new products or upcoming sales, reducing their chances of becoming repeat customers.

Marketing is important because it helps you sell your products or services. The bottom line of any business is to make money and marketing is an essential channel to reach that end goal. Creatives explained that without marketing many businesses wouldn't exist because marketing is ultimately what drives sales.

Turning Your Wildest Dreams Into a Realty

Guest: Christelle Biiga, Inspirational Speaker-Radio & Podcast Host - Personal Empowerment Coach An immigrant from Cameroon in Africa who, against all odds, has made her American Dream a reality and I have made it my mission to inspire people to have the courage to show up for themselves and go after their dreams no matter what. I packed my bags and left my country to pursue the American Dream.

 

I barely spoke English and had no friends here but nothing was going to stop me. Not even the immigration officer tried to deport me because he said I was coming to work as a prostitute. Not even the fact that I had to spend nine months in a detention center in order to get a chance to stay, Not even having to stay in a shelter as my first home.

 

Today I’m happy to be a TV host, Inspirational Speaker, and the host of my own podcast Absolute Alignment with Christelle: When Success Feels Easy. I live in Southern California in a beautiful home a block from the beach and continue to live my dream.
