You had spent you career focused in the food and beverage area to grow you business. How important has been to be focused on that niche?
 
It is extremely critical I understand who my ideal target audience is. Business cannot be one to all.
By understanding who my ideal customer is allows GR Marketing Strategists to:
1. Become recognized market leaders in their sector.  
2. Be proactive to emerging trends within the food and beverage sector. 
3. Create tailor made strategies and tactics to reach out to this audience.
4. Our network base understands who we are. Accordingly, they have a better chance to remember us.

If business create strategies and tactics without a clear understanding of their audience, it is a bit like setting a boat adrift without navigational tools.
