<p><em>I&#39;m getting people in my chair, but they&#39;re not my favorite people to hang out with...</em></p><h1>About this episode...</h1><p>Marketing ourselves as Barbers can be tricky. Yes, we are all supposed to take on all comers, yet each of us has a  certain type of person that we vibe best with. In the Barbershop where i cut, soccer fans are more likely to wind up in my chair because we talk about soccer and vibe well with it. A Personal trainer may end up in another chair because, well... I&#39;m not exactly into exercise at this point in my life.</p><p>Betty Emrey is a Copy Writer, and knows exactly how to make sure that a company is attracting the right clientele... or their BEST clients. We talk about</p><ul><li>The difference between &#34;I am a Barber&#34; and &#34;I am THIS Barber&#34;</li><li>How what we show tells potential clients how we are different from other Barbers</li><li>Some examples of how one can market one product - a coffee cup - to a variety of different groups of people</li></ul><h2><br></h2><h2>About my Guest</h2><p>Betty Emrey is a Copy Writer - which means that she writes content for advertising and marketing campaigns.
