THIS MONTH WE ASKED YOU…

What’s the biggest business challenge you’re facing at the moment?

Olive Tree Marketing (@OliveTreeMS): Entering industry awards like the #PBAwards can be a fantastic way to snag a little more exposure for your business.

Farrah commented: “This is a great article and we have employed this method for 20 years. However, I have noticed a complete ignorance with a lot (not all) of generation Z, simply no social skills. Quite a challenge!”

Rubywoo commented: “This should be taught in college. It is astonishing if a therapist hasn’t been taught to grasp this very basic part of the clients’ journey.”
