Simple words that should be so obvious, except it’s not.  Essentially it means:\n\nThe DRILL: What product / service are you selling?\nThe HOLE:  What does it empower your audience to do? \n\nNow take it a step further. What is the end experience that ultimately happens because your consumers were able to buy that thing they needed?  Figure that out and you are not only selling more than “stuff”, but you are inspiring your audience to sell it for you. That’s the power of this one old statement. See why I love it so much?\n\nI invited Jamie Harnish, a residential real estate agent dedicated to help guide his clients and help them navigate the ever-challenging Toronto real estate market.
