I’ve had bad experiences with New Business hired in the past. As in, nothing happened over 6-12 month periods bad.

What should I be looking for and what should the agency’s expectations be? Thank you!

Girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me right before we were supposed to leave the state and move in together. We broke up about 4 months ago.

How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.
