Digital Clarity, under Reggie's leadership, has been instrumental in helping companies define their value proposition, target the right customers, and create a focused marketing strategy. Reggie introduced us to the 95/5 rule, which states that 95% of people engaging with a company are not ready to buy and are in the discovery phase. This rule emphasizes the importance of nurturing potential customers and providing them with the information they need to decide. It's not just about selling but building relationships and trust with your audience.

These platforms have significantly influenced today's market, shaping consumer decisions and perceptions about brands. Reggie reflected on his entrepreneurial journey and how it continues to evolve.
