When the Old Playbook Stopped Working
Josh Turner lost his CFO position during the 2008 recession-a moment that would change how thousands of businesses approach sales forever. Desperate to generate freelance clients, he did something counterintuitive: instead of pitching his services, he created a LinkedIn group where he simply gave away valuable business advice. No strings attached. No hard sells. Just pure value. Within months, he had more work than he could handle. Clients were approaching him, not the other way around. This accidental discovery revealed a profound truth: in a world drowning in marketing noise-where the average person encounters up to 10,000 promotional messages daily-the businesses that win aren't the ones shouting loudest. They're the ones building genuine relationships at scale.
