Matt Palmquist - From Pro Basketball to Marketing Agency.

\\n

My next guest went from D1 Basketball to the Pros and then transitioned to a career in Marketing. After working for several years for a firm, he decided to take the leap and start his own agency. In this episode, we not only talk about how he built his company but also talk a lot about his agency's key service which is reputation management. When companies grow fast, things can slip through the cracks which can trickle down and negatively impact the customer. This can trigger bad reviews and reviews are a key marketing driver for a company. The question is, how do you resolve these bad reviews? We answer that question in this episode. Please welcome Matt Palmquist.
