Why Collaboration Marketing Works: Building Relationships Over Transactions with Gill Tiney Ep. 98

In this week's episode, Erica and Alex welcome Gill Tiney from Collaboration Global to discuss why most businesses waste resources marketing to audiences who will never buy from them. Discover how you can achieve better results by building relationships rather than chasing numbers.

Gill shares powerful insights on:
- Why you probably only need a smaller number of clients per month than you think (not thousands of leads)
- How to identify win-win collaboration opportunities others miss
- Building genuine relationships that lead to long-term business success
- Finding partnerships that can replace expensive advertising
- Getting into your client's journey at the right moment

Gill's community, Collaboration Global, brings entrepreneurs together to support each other and create meaningful connections that lead to business opportunities. Her approach emphasises relationship-building over transactional marketing.
