Marketing expert David Bruno discusses how building authentic relationships creates sustainable business growth through strategic networking, community engagement, and focusing on customer needs before sales goals.
• David Bruno has hosted "Business Professionals of Harrisburg and Central PA" networking events for 9 years, growing to 7,000+ members
• Companies can spread marketing efforts too thin across platforms—focus on relationship-building first
• Viewer fatigue is real—mix business content with personal stories and community engagement
• Building company culture through team recognition and charitable activities creates deeper engagement
• Most businesses fail within 10 years, but strong relationships help companies survive economic downturns
• Cold calling and traditional marketing still work when paired with genuine customer understanding
• AI is advancing rapidly and remains underutilized in business—don't be afraid to incorporate it
• When starting a business from zero, focus on organic marketing through networking before paid opportunities
