## Resource

People don't buy because they love your product. They buy because they have a problem they can't ignore, and most businesses spend far too much time chasing prospects who were never going to become customers. Rob Snyder explains the "Pull Framework," why customer demand matters more than persuasion, and how identifying the right buyers can transform your marketing, sales, and client relationships.
