Earned Buyer Insights Are Critical to Being Relevant to Buyers. At the start of the year, I elaborated on the idea that empathy is derived from a place of deeper understanding.

How would you like to gain at least 100 readers for your blog every day? How about 200? There’s really no cap to how many readers your blog could attract on a daily basis, as long as you provide unique, interesting, useful, timely, and relevant content.
