As the face of your B2B advisory firm, you’re interacting with customers and partners every day. Do they consider you a go-to expert in your industry? If not, how can you position yourself – and your business – as a valuable resource?
In my last blog, I addressed the first hurdle in helping you decide “Vector vs Raster? How to Choose the Right File Format.” In this article, I will take it one step further and help you choose the right file extension for the job from each of the two categories.
Your customers – and prospects – probably know less about your services than you think.
