Read "Permission Marketing" by Seth Godin, and "Guerilla Marketing" by Jay Conrad Levinson.

Similar jist: Basically your marketing is how you interact with your customers. That face time is crazy valuable.

I agree. Marketing is, largely, how you interact with your customers. But there is still a need for the work described in the question. As a business you still need to do outreach to new customers. And that is the type of work I would rather someone else do.
