Business Owners Often Say…
I am busy. Finish in 2 minutes “who has the time for such stuff?” “Looks interesting, but I have no time for
anything” “It is good but I may not have time for follow-up” “Don't have time for all these online stuff”.
These objections are mostly false and stems from misconceptions.
Such People IGNORE Social Media
