Over the years, he discovered that many marketing agencies aren't 100% good at what they do, which prompted him to sell his agency and move into speaking, teaching and writing books. His goal: help entrepreneurs develop a solid marketing plan and find the right marketing vendors that could deliver the results they expected. Furthermore, Danny stressed that there could be no good tactic other than one that had been deeply planned and tested.
