Polls, surveys, and focus groups aren’t just for big business; small businesses can gain big insights and win a competitive edge.

He has a PhD in Political Science and is a professor at Carleton University. By discovering what your current and prospective customers really think, you can invest wisely into your marketing and growth strategy. Like David says, “good decisions require good data.”
