We advise our clients to discuss pain points, they deal with them on a daily basis. If it is a pain point for them, then more than likely it is a pain point for their customers or potential customers. How to resolve this issue? What are the best ways to do this? Why you should have this or that? These type of blogs push your organization in to the field of expert or leader in your field or industry.
