Inside: why the steps that feel bad are structural and what to build around them, how onboarding quietly re-creates the objection your marketing spent months defeating, the thirty-day cohort that fixed it for one company, why a journey map doubles as your best sales collateral, and why she says contracts save friendships.Connect with Holly: https://markors.com
