How to Decide If You Need This Now
Start if: you have at least one person willing to appear on camera regularly, your sales cycle would benefit from faster movement or higher response rates, and you can commit to a 3–5x/week posting cadence for two to three quarters. If no one internally will go on camera yet, start with Tier 1 training before committing to a retainer.
