Episode Details

What if your strongest marketing strategy wasn’t advertising at all, but the relationships you build?

Bruce Coudrey and Peter Spinda are joined by Jo Holdsworth, founder of Lux Clean Group, to explore how trust, relationships and exceptional service can become a powerful engine for business growth.
