This blog focuses on business-building and marketing issues related to business in the 919 area code (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill/Cary/etc.).

At least once each week we will examine an issue of importance to entrepreneurs, small business owners, and others in the Triangle (North Carolina) for whom marketing and business-building is an important aspect of their businesses.

Once a month, those who are a part of Triangle Business Leaders meet in person and discuss these and other issues of importance to our businesses. This provides us a chance to network and have live interaction about what is working and not working in our businesses.

The key author for this blog is me, Ben Thole, a certified “No B.S. Business Advisor” who has studied and worked with some world-class marketers such as Dan Kennedy, Bill Glazer, Michael Cage and others.

We invite you to join in the conversation. You’ll want to sign up for email notifications of new posts (sign up now in the upper right hand corner of this blog) and then give us your feedback.
