Ep.5 How to Use Facebook Messenger to Scale Your Amazon Business with Michelle Barnum Smith
Welcome to the Sprint to Profit Podcast. This is Kirsty and Isaac and we developed this podcast to help highlight the very best strategies on how to grow your Amazon business.
Today we’re talking with friend and colleague, Michelle Barnum Smith. Michelle is the founder and CEO of Your Marketing Therapy. She teaches sellers how to use Facebook Messenger to build their lists and scale their businesses. As CEOs, we can get so bogged down with other tasks and important to-dos, that building our lists often feels like a daunting task.
Michelle breaks it down so it’s easier and more effective for busy entrepreneurs and technophobes like us.
