In this episode, Mitchell Levy, Chief Aha Instigator of the Aha Amplifier (http://AhaAmplifier.com), introduces his co-host for the month, #ThoughtLeaderJeff Shavitz (http://www.jeffshavitz.com), founder of TrafficJamming (http://www.trafficjamming.com). This month’s episodes will focus on a question many businesses are asking: Is there still a need to drive foot traffic to a physical location? Jeff, who has been working with small- to medium-sized merchants for more than 17 years, says that a physical location allows a business to provide a real, face-to-face customer experience that drives loyalty and makes the customer want to come back. Mitchell maintains that having a physical base where customers can visit adds credibility to your business. If the experience for the customer is a good one, it can lead to greater business success. Whether physical or online, it is about being authentic, trustworthy, and transparent in your #ThoughtLeadership and using that to drive a robust customer experience.

Jeff and Mitchell have invited #ThoughtLeaders to the show for the next four weeks to talk about building small enterprises, driving physical foot traffic, and achieving business success.
