A proud foodie and BBQ enthusiast, a thought-leader and a sales person by nature, Daniel defines success in all things as a journey and not a destination. Daniel, who is responsible for the new client on-boarding process, sets well thought-out proposals for services specifically tailored for the prospective client. He aims at analyzing the real issue a client may have and presents them with the best solution.

If Daniel could offer one quick piece of advice to businesses considering inbound marketing, he'd tell them: "Inbound marketing is about educating your target market as opposed to interrupting them. Positioning your company as a thought leader will naturally get people to come to you. And who doesn't want more qualified leads coming to their door."
